Stairway to Heaven was the song that everyone wanted to learn when I
first started playing the guitar. It was the one song that could
define you as a good guitarist among your peers.
Stairway to Heaven was written by Robert Plant and Jimmy Page of Led
Zeppelin. They began recording in 1970 and the project was slowly
brought to completion one year later in 1971 (after the lyrics were
added.) Here are some interesting facts about Stairway to Heaven...


It was performed by Led Zeppelin for the very first time in
conjunction with the first concert they gave in Northern Ireland at
Belfast's Ulster Hall.


It is cited as the most played song on FM radio stations in the
United States, despite never being released as a single there.


Stairway to Heaven is one of the most well-known popular songs in
rock and roll history, despite the fact that it was never released as
a single.


It is the biggest-selling single piece of sheet music clocking up an
average of 15,000 copies yearly....
