I hope you guys enjoyed my version of this incredible song! What would you like me to work on next? Let me know in the comments! You can also head over to Spotify to listen to more Shreds and my original music!
My father always said, "No talking when Led Zeppelin is playing". I wished he was still alive so I could show him this "shred version" of "Stairway To Heaven" because I know he would've loved it. Keep on rocking out, Sophie! 🎸🤘
@@SophieLloydHe truly was and I appreciate you for replying. Continue to rock out and blessing us with all these amazing "shred versions" that you give us.
I am 78 years old and playing for 70 years and one of the so called best session and studio musicians. I could not have done it better. You are super talented and I admire the hours you must have put into your works.
Just stumbled upon you. I'm a 70yo Zepplin freak.have been all my life. Anytime a young person can get into music of my time it really makes me smile. Your music is incredible. Jimmy would be honored. Thank you for bringing tears to an old man's eyes..❤
I'm 73 and Ive been listening to music most of my life ,this is the best version of this song I have heard ,go to the top of the class Sophie Lloyd ,love it ,love you
This morning I came into my workplace, and I had no desire to work at all. I listened to the solo, and I forgot everything around me. Thank you for your performance! Bravo!
Unreal. I love that you have the good sense not to try to change Jimmy Page's actual solo from the original recording! You embellish where appropriate and play verbatim where appropriate and as a musician I really appreciate that. Well done!
I liked and noticed that too. That Page solo is iconic and has been replicated by many guitarists over the years but if it's altered and changed too much, it loses connection with the song. She played it note for note, got the bends just right and timing. Love it!
Hi Sophie, this is not a shred version, this is, from my point of view a Piece of Art! Well, done. What I love is your touch and subtle phrases while respecting the original song. Simply great! What else to say!
And she plays parts with her eyes closed when many would need to look at the frets to keep track. Sophie is floating on a higher level where spirit takes over, what an immensely talented angel.
Dear Sophie, I have been a Zeppelin fan for 45 years, and your version of Starway is amazing and beautiful. It has the hard rock spirit very high and improves some parts of the song ! I love it. Your playing is so complete but also your feeling touches my soul. I also play and sing it at the same time. But you have taken it to a higher dimension and that's great. That is what a gifted musician does. And you're a gifted musician. Keep on rocking!!
Miss Lloyd I have recently heard your name and music circles as being guitar God. As a visual artist, I just want to say thank you for putting positive vibes into the world. I have a habit of looking at other artists, whatever their platform/genre/media is, and when I look in your eyes as you’re playing this song, you have that look of Zen that one I get from creating. And I am a social worker at a State psychiatric hospital instead of working, and I will definitely recommend your work to my patients. Keep on making the world a better place however, you can.
Have to say, after years of not really being able to play the solo to Stairway, I have finally learned it after being not only inspired by your jolly good renditions, but learned a lot from the clarity of your playing and lovely camera work. I have nailed it now.
I love how this artist can remain true to the original versions yet at the same time put her own artistic spin on the song. That’s talent my friends. Cold chills! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
What are you doing out of your cage? I thought all you did was scribble end-of-the-world scenarios and lose people money on your useless Ground Zero website.
I really thought you set yourself up for failure when you casually whipped out such pyrotechnics long before the fanfare. My thinking was, “there’s no more room to go higher or faster, so the ‘payoff’ will suffer.” I couldn’t have been more wrong. Expertly well done. Energy foreplay aside, your ear as an artist is on display here. When you chose to echo Page, when you chose to switch to Plant’s role, and when you chose to do your own thing, as well as how you went about it… truly masterful. No one would doubt you’re a skilled player, but if any ever doubted your artistry, this alone would prove them laughably wrong.
Something about blue stained Maple. Thanks for doing this one. I just lost the girl of my dreams and The Love of My Life 2 weeks ago and Ive been torn up. Thanks for the couple minutes of cheer. You always do great versions of everything
Just lost someone close in my family 2 hours ago. Came to UA-cam to take my mind away. This appeared in my feed on the top. How fitting a tribute to our Michelle 😢. Thanks Sophie your guitar skills are also heavenly
Sophie is A league of her own. For almost a quarter of century, this one of a kind piece continues to shake the world of rock music; yet, I have never heard a version of it so powerful and as rich as that of Sophie's. Truly enjoyed it. ❤
Superb version - just enough individuality without moving too far away from Jimmy's original - AND a talented female guitarist without ridiculously long left-hand fingernails. Beautiful woman playing with heart and soul and clearly loving what she does.
I am 75 yrs old and I have seen Led Zeppelin Live playing their first album and then their second album including "Heart Breaker". The first album was so well produced the songs blend together between songs in precise and smooth transition....WOW. Put your earphones on and crank it to ten. This sexy young woman also does "All Along the Watchtower" (-Jimi Hendrix) WOW. Rock on Sophie, you are destined to be a star. (Please stay away from EVIL that permeates through the music industry.) God Bless your Talent.
Literally one of my favorite songs and guitar solos in the world. The work at the solo and everything afterwards was absolutely mindblowing. Skipped it back like 6 times 😁❤
Sophie what a beautiful expansion of a beautiful masterpiece, it almost made me cry, you really know the feeling of beauty and pain of stairway. From an older guitar player to a new master - you are excellent loved it . Michael 😊
Again, your shine is not apparent unless you go thru whole video! OMG you play this song just as I always wanted once the lead guitar part shined,! Thank you
what an amazing shred version of a classic song and done so very well. I was second thinking it but you did an honorable version of it. Awesome girl!!!
Just to memorize that whole sequence is an amazing feat! To technically play that well borders on miraculous! Melodic and emotional interpretation of the whole song is incredible! And yes, Sophie's angel-like beauty is beyond delightful! Keep up the great work Sophie! I'm loving every bit of it.
Great work, every time I hear it wakes up the same feeling of greatness. No doubt about it, a true iconic song, one of those song who has written it's page in music history.
Having grown up on the central coast of California (Monterey), their was long days of surfing, sailing, street racing and rock concerts to attend under the influence of tremendous Big Sur weed.....your music brings back so many memories. Go for the Golden Ring woman.
Fantastic arrangement!!! (As well as the performance!) The harmony at ~ 2:20 setting up the next shred bit was genius. And as others have also said, I like how you preserve the original solo while letting the creativity fly with the rest of the arrangement. The vibratos and bends and slides to put flair and feel on the guitar voicings of the vocal melodies was a perfect amount of stylizing without overdoing it. 😊👏 I definitely prefer this kind of shred arrangement over the blatant showoffery that a lot of other YT guitarists make. Thanks for the awesome music
Absolutely amazing. Calling this a shred is a bit of a stretch. The whole tune, with all your additional musical phrasing.. just rocking great 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Never got to see Zeppelin live unfortunately too youn only 60 but what a brilliant take on a gutar ballard that I know well, this is definately the future, no one else has done this so well, keep it up!
Sophie, your passion shows in your soulful play. Let me admit, from the shorts, It took me some time actually to believe you play for real ! It seemed really too good to be true. Need I express anything more :) You are amazing & beautiful too- great combination!
I enjoyed that very much !!!!!!! I am 62 years old and you made me feel 18 again, and you made that song even more beautiful by showing yourself performing it😘👍🏼👍🏼
I always loved this song. My nan had it for her funeral. Every time i heard it i cried since. This version i didn't because i was in awe of your pure skill. PLEASE do Cliffs Of Dover. I would love you forever. I bet it's a piece of cake for you but do an extended version. I'd play it on repeat all day while i get my shizzle done. I decided at the age of 36 i want to try learning guitar again. Then electric and create shreds. Music heals the heart
I have been so excited for this shred to come out, and this is your best one yet Sophie! After watching you practice this, I know which bits were more of a challenge, and when you got to those bits you had a big ‘nailed it!’ smile on your face. Very satisfying. 🥰. Keep on rockin’ Sophie. 🤘🎸
Too incredible for words !1 this is the most awesome rendition of this song EVER - your shredding is very tasteful and very pleasant, unlike most other shredding out there- thank you !
WTF ?? ... I've been playing this for 30 years and I still don't have it !! ... nice job on the Zeppelin master piece Sophie, you definitely nailed the solo !!
I hope you guys enjoyed my version of this incredible song! What would you like me to work on next? Let me know in the comments! You can also head over to Spotify to listen to more Shreds and my original music!
Beautiful
Much as I love "Into the void", I'm not sure it could be shredded. Fantastic work on Stairway to Heaven, though.
🎉❤🙏🔥🇺🇸🤙🤙🤙🤙
Something from Opeth…you decide! Thank you for sharing your talent/music!!
Well done Sophie 🙂
My father always said, "No talking when Led Zeppelin is playing".
I wished he was still alive so I could show him this "shred version" of "Stairway To Heaven" because I know he would've loved it.
Keep on rocking out, Sophie! 🎸🤘
Great quote from your father, may he rest in peace
Your dad was right!
@@SophieLloydHe truly was and I appreciate you for replying. Continue to rock out and blessing us with all these amazing "shred versions" that you give us.
May your father rest in peace just like mine, they were absolutely right
😄 and … Your Pops was Right ! 😊 May he rest in peace ✌🏻 and rock out to Zeppelin in Heaven!
I am 78 years old and playing for 70 years and one of the so called best session and studio musicians. I could not have done it better. You are super talented and I admire the hours you must have put into your works.
Hi Sophie fantastic playing I'm a 74 year old Clapton fan can you play some for me regards john
Just stumbled upon you. I'm a 70yo Zepplin freak.have been all my life. Anytime a young person can get into music of my time it really makes me smile. Your music is incredible. Jimmy would be honored. Thank you for bringing tears to an old man's eyes..❤

SIMP sure its good but the best you have heard since the 70s when it dropped? bruh

Unreal. I love that you have the good sense not to try to change Jimmy Page's actual solo from the original recording! You embellish where appropriate and play verbatim where appropriate and as a musician I really appreciate that. Well done!
Lovely version of stairway that makes this old classic sound fresh. Well done.
I liked and noticed that too. That Page solo is iconic and has been replicated by many guitarists over the years but if it's altered and changed too much, it loses connection with the song. She played it note for note, got the bends just right and timing. Love it!
I grew up in the 70s and this was my favorite song then and still is today. A timeless song that never gets old
This song, even though a classic masterpiece, is so overwhelming to listen to now. Especially when someone covers it.
Stairway to Heaven deserves its iconic status. It’s an absolute timeless masterpiece. You did it justice. Well done!
There aren’t enough adjectives to describe her playing. I get goosebumps every time I listen to her!
The amount of emotion that she projects spills through the screen; not many people performing can just about bring a tear to my eye.
I get what you're sayin. Absolutely mesmerizing 🔥
Which eye??? Lol
Thank you for the moments of happiness!
Awesome tribute to one of the greatest rock songs ever written, Sophie 🤘🏻🖤
Thank you!
❤I just found you 😁 beyI love Zeppelin, I now will follow you are so amazingly beautiful and the way you play 😂🎉 Omg love you ❤️
Hi Sophie, this is not a shred version, this is, from my point of view a Piece of Art! Well, done. What I love is your touch and subtle phrases while respecting the original song. Simply great! What else to say!

My brother just told me about you. OMG!!!! I love Led Zeppelin. You are truly amazing. You encompass such talent and beauty. Thank you!!!
Finally a full length song and video...I hate Shorts!😎 Well played, no guitar shop would stop Sophie from playing whatever she wanted!
You hate shorts? Hers look mighty fine to me 😉
Just a myth man guitar shops let you play whatever you want dont bye into the hype
@@antology7 Got me there🤣
I wouldn’t stop her doing nothing, she is fine AF and can play like hell.🔥🔥🔥
I very appreciated you left the original solo, very respectful and excellent job, as always...
And she plays parts with her eyes closed when many would need to look at the frets to keep track. Sophie is floating on a higher level where spirit takes over, what an immensely talented angel.
Daaamn! She’s beautiful AND talented! You go Sophie!
You are a pure smiling zone for this old music lover. Thanks for sharing your talent with us we are truly blessed.

Enjoyed this immensely.

Great shred Sophie!! A fantastic mix and great playing as always!
Thanks so much!
Even Jimi Hendrix would be blown away by this incredible performance!

Beautiful and talented. Great version of one of the greatest songs of all time.
That was the most beautiful rendition of Stairway to Heaven I've ever see... I mean heard. Fantastic!
Your passion has helped me remember how much I enjoyed playing the drums to this song.
OMG! Sophie that was amazing!! What an awesome new spin on an old timeless classic. 👌 🤘😎🤘!!
Thanks Vinny!
Sophia all I can say is did shred that song baby. you are so good and so beautiful. Mr. Page should be proud! keep playing sweet lady!
This 71-year-old just fell in love with you and your guitar Great job Wayne from Canada 🇨🇦❤️

Amazing! Extraordinarily Beautiful Solo! BRAVO, Dear and Respected Sophie!🌺💎💖
The QUEEN of musicians
I want to hear you sing
Sophie Lloyd--Beauthiful tribute to Led Zep. U make me so proud. Awesome!
Just found this channel, and having watched this video, I understand why Sophie is heading for a million subscribers. It is well deserved!
Absolutely epic Sophie you never disappoint. Jimmy Page would be proud of your version.
Wow! Masterfully and artfully done. That was one of the best musical experience of my life. Your love of music is written in your every cell.
Sophie is A league of her own. For almost a quarter of century, this one of a kind piece continues to shake the world of rock music; yet, I have never heard a version of it so powerful and as rich as that of Sophie's. Truly enjoyed it. ❤

My favorite rock and roll song of all time with one of the greatest lead guitar solos. That was awesome Sophie.
sophie looks like an angel and plays so well. how romantic.
Wow. Absolutely amazing performance.
Simply amazing - flawlessly executed and the tone was spot on. Also, love the fact that you kept the "solo" as close to the original as possible.
Sophie what a beautiful expansion of a beautiful masterpiece, it almost made me cry, you really know the feeling of beauty and pain of stairway. From an older guitar player to a new master - you are excellent loved it . Michael 😊
Again, your shine is not apparent unless you go thru whole video! OMG you play this song just as I always wanted once the lead guitar part shined,! Thank you
Such a lovely mix and an incredible composition. The timing was rich with triplets and the triplets were to die for! Your timing is incredible!
Enjoy your version? Are you kidding? THAT'S THE REAL STAIRWAY TO HAVEN! Congratulations! God bless you! 👐
Sophie is a Rock 'n Roll Angel.

Sophie, your Stairway to Heaven version brought tears to my eyes, absolutely wonderful. And you are gorgeous, lady!
Listening to your version I can hear every single word of lyrics🎤 as well as the piece of music art in solo guitar 🎸 Greetings from Poland 🖐🌻
Except the iconic final Acapella line. Lol
Thanks!

Another classic, Sophie. Loved the one string arpeggio (or two, hard for me to tell). You’re simply outstanding.
I enjoyed that very much !!!!!!!
I am 62 years old and you made me feel 18 again, and you made that song even more beautiful by showing yourself performing it😘👍🏼👍🏼
