Made me cry. My dad was an amazing guitarist and played his heart out on this song. He had a stroke and has never played like that again :( Thank you for bringing me a happy memory ❤️
this is 'a song of hope', but the line 'if there's a bustle in the hedgerow don't be alarmed now' really means take note of the times and seasons. ''At that time the lame will leap like the deer, And the tongue of the speechless will shout for joy. For waters will burst forth in the wilderness, And streams in the desert plain.'' Isaiah 35 v 6 ... ''there is still time to change the road your on''
The cleanness of his playing and control of volume at exactly the moments you need it is what makes this so special. He’s basically mixing and mastering his playing in real time.
Also the real time tone control: where to hit the string, how much finger nail how much flesh should involve, with what speed and what force? left hand dynamics, touch the fret or no touch, the speed pressure on and on and on.

@@lucasimbiriba You made the song yours! Stairway to Heaven is a classic few would dare to improvise and most having tried would fail. That takes guts and talent. Yours's is the only success I have heard. Every few days I come back for another helping, it is cuisine for the ears.
@@mossrun thanks, Jim! Your comment means a lot to me. You seem to be an experienced classic rock connoisseur and that just gives me some good vibes to keep on doing what I'm doing. Thanks, brother!
I have taught guitar for the last 25 years, love the instrument love playing and can truly appreciate what it takes to become that good. Lucas you are by far the most gifted guitarist I have ever seen. Thanks for having the dedication to take a real gift to its true potential. You are an inspiration thank you.
How many times you just have to say “holy shit”, “what the f”, or just “WOW, no way”.. and try to imagine what it took to become this level of mastery, knowing what it takes to be half this great.
I do not coment very often, but what you have done here is showing everyone how much more than just combining the melody of a song with some percussion slaps on the strings fingerstyle can be. It so often lacks personality. Therfore, I'm so glad I found this, as it is a seldom occurence to find someone to stand up to the well established and routined fingerstyle "stars" on this plattform. Keep it up man, the fingerstyle community needs this!
Absolutely brilliant! He also managed to incorporate elements of Jimmy’s solo from 1976 Madison Square Garden live performance. Absolutely tremendous understanding of the song and phenomenal technique!
I think he totally wore out the entire fretboard. I'm no musician but I love led zeppelin Stairway and well I think I just heard the most amazing rendition of it. What a blessing.
Hi Lucas! I live in Izmir, Turkey and a few days ago a 7.0 magnitude earthquake happened. Lots of people like me lost their home and we're living in a tent currently. Me and my friends are listening to your music and you really make us happier. Thank you so much for this amazing channel, your talent is great!
Hey Kamil, I'm very sorry for this tragedy in your homeland. I'm happy to know that my music might bring a little bit of joy in such sad times. I wish you all better days full of love. Cheers!
YES! a thousand up-votes to you sir! I was thinking the same thing! - I used to work at a music store, I play guitar, and yes this was the first song I learned to play...🤣
This has got to be the best acoustic version of Stairway I've heard/seen, ever! The fingering on the neck is so clean, it's masterful, not to mention his finger picking and strumming. I think Jimmy Page would get enjoyment watching this, incredible!
I'm so honored....... thanks to UA-cam recommending this art piece and of course to you, Lucas, for such a performance. Seven minutes have never been this blissful.
Вот это.... что то фантастическое !!! Нет слов, просто, невероятное исполнение, и с душой !!! Как из акустической гитары можно такое выжать и так сыграть?! Да как же ты это делаешь ? !! Ты играешь как целая группа или даже лучше !!! Джими Пейдж он играл всё довольно просто, но тут мы слышим и партию двух гитар, и партию баса, и вокала . и барабана, и плюс это сыграно очень энергично и сохраняя душу этой композиции. Это феноменально !
I’ve been listening to this song for decades, listened so many different artists renditions of of this, but this my friend was truly something unique your beyond talented this was honestly one of thee best versions of stairway I’ve ever heard. Thank you for this.
Is it one take though?? I’m so jaded these days after so many youtube musicians recording the audio beforehand and then just miming along for their video.
Well, it’s not a single shot. Not taking anything away from his skills, but it could have been played through several times and then separate shots edited together.
Thanks Lucas for the best remake of this song ever done. Was playing guitar back in the early 70's with quite a few different bands when Led Zepplin and other bands were at their best. Wish they could all hear the great work you have done also.
Not a fan of stairway covers but this one couldn't have been any better. He's incredible! So aggressive but gentle at the same time. His transitions are insane. Insanely clean! Watching and listening to him is like a roller coaster. Starts out low and slow then gradually builds up, then explodes! then almost stops and let's you catch your breath for a second. Then builds back up and blows your mind again all the way till the end. Don't think I'll ever watch another stairway cover again other than this one!
I know where you're coming from. One of my favorite bands is "black sabbath". I can play a lot of their songs, but never cared to try to learn their 2 bigger hits (iron man & _____) because I was too burnt out from hearing them on the radio . Some songs are so popular, they get played into the ground by the radio & other musicians. It can take away from their brilliance. This guy did a good job of keeping it true to the original while putting enough if his style into it & making it his own too. Not easy to do.
Myself andI Why you don't show us all your supposed tallent instead of criticizing? I have been playing and studying electric guitar and flamenco since 1981 and i say you are wrong! By the way. 90% of flamenco players would not have this kind of technic. It's totally different. I don't believe you play the guitar or you would not say so much BS. Congratulations to you man! Unfortunatelly there are Always some motherf*ckers out there!
I am learning to play guitar. Been at it with no teacher except a few UA-cam tutorials for specific songs. If I can't figure out how to get started on a song by ear, I learn the first few bars from the video and then figure out the rest on my own. I have my own style, not by design but by necessity. I work at a segment until I like what I hear and continue that way until I finish a whole song. My playing skills are constantly improving, by increments, sometimes by jumps- I am beginning to learn the board. I have played a few songs for friends, some of whom are professional entertainers. They are pleased and encourage me to keep it up. I appreciate your critique of this particular song and technique because I can take something away from it for myself. I must say that I'm more of an individualist than a purist. Even so, I try in the best way that I can to stay as true as I can to the original rendition of whatever song I'm covering- within the realm of my skill set. Mostly '50s & '60s pop stuff so far but I would love to be able to do Led Zeppelin, Moody Blues, ELP, ELO and Cream. I do one Crazy Horse song by Danny Whitten. Anyway I appreciate your comment.
mr. lucas....another? you achieved the goal. With two hands you play better than will ever do with 48 pairs of hands. You have been blessed by God. Thank you for sharing. May you play forever.
This is just hard work, there is not a single video that teaches us music like this. I can't just imagine how hard you've worked for this. Hats off Man
This performance should have a BILLION likes and a TRILLION views . After playing guitar for 40 years it takes an awful lot to fully captivate me . THIS IS ONE OF THEM . 10 stars and I commend you my friend .
Damn man, that is insane. This song has been "covered" so many times and people have tried to make it their own and succeeded in that, but failed in making it a true tribute to the original song. You sir, have 100% succeeded in doing it as yours, yet staying so absolutely true to the original - This is the only cover I've heard that I've listened to the entire thing, normally I get maybe 30 seconds in and nix it.
I've actually played this song for 40 years, too, and it's been flawless -- of course, I was playing the LP which I hid inside the Christmas music jacket and only listened to when my parents weren't around -- ha. I "almost" got to see them live in 1973. I grew up and lived in a small, rural town in central Virginia, and of course we all lied to our parents and said we were going to see the Carpenters (whom I also loved), in Richmond and spending the night with somebody's aunt and uncle, when in truth, they were playing in DC, which was about a 4-hour drive away, and one of our friend's older brother was in college at Georgetown, and he was going to buy our tickets if we paid for his - tickets on the floor were $7. But at the last minute, one of the moms got suspicious and then found a picture of Robert Plant in those "leave nothing to the imagination" right jeans and home we stayed. My older brother tried to intervene and say he needed to wear his pants that tight to hit those high notes. Ha. But you're correct. Unless you've played both an electric and an acoustic, you can't know how almost impossible it is for him to have played like that on an acoustic guitar. A true master and a joy to watch. Best wishes, Patricia PS: I love watching the few videos of when they played this live in England and at Madison Sq. Gardens. They always closed their concert with this song, and Jimmy kind of sways as though he's rocking a baby in his arms for the beginning.
I can’t imagine how it feels to be able to play such beautiful music whenever you want, its a blessing you have. The best i’ve seen with the instrument. Continue on bro💪🏽 .
@@charleswettish8701Actually? If you put 3 hours of practice in a day, which is more than most people have the free time for, it would take close to 50 years to reach 50000 hours.
@beanie0112 Of course not, it's a totally different style using techniques that aren't typical of Jimmy Page's repertoire.. I think, if you asked Jimmy Page to play an acoustic version of Stairway, it would be completely different from this. I think, technically speaking, this is more inspired by the likes of Tommy Emmanuel and Chet Atkins.
Esto es una obra maestra, esto es lo que deberíamos apreciar y dar valor, no desmerito ningún género, toda la música es buena, pero cuando escuchas esto (en su versión original) pero esta adaptación de este caballero es simplemente sublime, aplausos para este man!
Good god man ! I lived breathed and played everything Zep since childhood. I learned to play guitar because of Zep. I was at their last show in the US, Oakland ca. This rendition brought me to me knees and literally made me well up. You absolutely captured the soul of the greatest rock band in history. The second time through I was full throating the lyrics I haven’t done in years. Brilliant work my brother. Thank you.
People disliking don't even know what he was sharing. He made the sound as if someone was running up the stairs and falling back and got up. Beautiful and so talented. Just wow.
Accidentally just stumbled upon you Sir Lucas , whilst consuming a lot of alcohol . I thought you were superb . Now i have drank myself sober, I may believe, you are the greatest Acoustic guitarist ever. Just saying .
Não aceite que te chamem de músico, instrumentista ou qualquer coisa do gênero... exija ser chamado de "mágico", porque é isso que você faz: MÁGICA! Espetacular, PQP!!
I haven't had the urge to listen to Stairway to Heaven in years. Just by chance, I thought I might see what fingerpicking the entire song on an acoustic guitar might look like. OMG Lucas is Great! I really enjoyed all that you have done with this piece . . . it doesn't get any better than this. I wish you success in getting lots of exposure
I wanted to say something deep and meaningful, but all I can manage is WOW! Singularily the most amazing demonstration of guitar brilliance I've ever seen. I've been playing guitar for 35 years and I am humbled.
You should be paid as much as athletes get paid. I can’t imagine the time and effort spent into getting the amount of skills you have and deliver FLAWLESSLY. That was beautiful.
Sir you are the reason that I will never stop playing and practicing my guitar, cause if one day I have just 1% of your skills I would be happy. Thank you
@@kenwickcook8413 I do understand but I can't give up just like that, remember "what is the point in knowing everything, when we can always challenge ourselves to be better than we are now". Don't stop dude keep learning.
It is a wonderful gift to express exactly what you are trying to play with your God givin hands .. I have been playing 30yrs and I still can't project exactly what I am hearing in my head the frustration is excruciating to the point I have sold everything guitar related and bought it all again twice I am so glad to see you doing exactly what I have been trying to do all these years.... god bless never stop you are fantastic at expression all the best JOHN from easthaven Ct
Thanks a lot for your words, John. I must confess that I had great throughout my history. It helps a lot to have some experienced people trying to help you cross bridged. I hope you are able to express the way you feel someday :) cheers♥️🎸
This is the craziest and most amazing version I have ever heard by a long shot! I was more and more intrigued as the song went on to see how he’d play out each segment of the song with a different finger style. It was so intense that I was actually getting nervous about how he’s manage to match “one of the greatest solos of all time” to the rest of the song. Needless to say it was brilliant and masterfully done. ... This enhanced my life in many ways and I thank you for those wonderful 7:21 seconds. Not a moment of my life was wasted listening to this masterpiece.
This is AMAZING!!! Ive heard it numerous times and it just dawned on me that Lucas’ arrangement of Stairway to Heaven sounds like it was written by MOZART for guitar!!! All the lightning quick flourishes between what sounds EXACTLY like the original song and pinpoint accuracy, timing and “feel” reminds of Mozart’s style. Genius!!!
Your skill is mind-blowing, sir. I've been playing music for thirty-five years and I'm nowhere close to being at this level. I also wanted to say thank you for these amazing acoustic versions of songs like this one and Hotel California. Hearing unplugged versions of songs I want to learn makes it loads easier, lol. Keep on jamming!
I can't for the life of me figure out what the dislike crowd is thinking when they click thumbs down here. Jealousy is the only thing I can come up with. This guy is simply incredible and dedication to a craft like he obviously has never deserves a negative response.
Widząc i słysząc takich ludzi jak ty chce się jeszcze żyć, i jest nadzieja na ten coraz bardziej chory świat. Szacun kolego. Muzyka to nieskończenie najlepszy dar od niebios. Pozdrawiam
Este señor lucas es un maestro, los integrantes de la banda de esta pieza de seguro quedarían asombrados al escuchar tan magnífica interpretación de su clásico. Arriba LUCASSSSS
The 1.4K dislike are people that thought this was a cover. I just saw a guy playing his own version of a classic, and it was phenomenal. Well played Lucas!
You have an unparalleled gift of being able to retain the essence and spirit of the material, without simply copying the notes and genuinely create something new. As always marvelous.
Woah, hold up, bro. That may have been the GOAT cover of Stairway. It’s definitely the best fingerstyle picking on acoustic guitar I have or will probably ever hear of that cover.
Best complement I can give is...I got the slight chills during the solo just like I do when I listen to the original. What is extra special? One man and an acoustic guitar (MUCH harder to play, especially on any lead stuff) with almost zero effects -- including no repeat pedal. Bravo.
Brilliant, Lucas!👍🏻
Thank you, Sungha! Your words mean a lot to me! I hope we might play together once again. Cheers :)
Terrific playing, brother..
Wow sungha jung is god guitar hahaha
Do Collaboration again,please.
Tá porra o Sungha por aqui!?
This guys fingers are so talented I bet when he picks his nose it sounds like an angel harp chorus.
Okay this made me chuckle
This is the one guy that *can* pick his friend's nose.
...at least it smells like one...
It's like picking with the devil.
I've been playing for 42 years and I've never in my life seen anyone as good as you
Made me cry. My dad was an amazing guitarist and played his heart out on this song. He had a stroke and has never played like that again :( Thank you for bringing me a happy memory ❤️

this is 'a song of hope', but the line 'if there's a bustle in the hedgerow don't be alarmed now' really means take note of the times and seasons.

Can‘ t believe you can play like that!! Unbelievable….. absolutely fascinating - goodness …..
The cleanness of his playing and control of volume at exactly the moments you need it is what makes this so special. He’s basically mixing and mastering his playing in real time.
That control of voicing and dynamics comes from his classical background
Also the real time tone control: where to hit the string, how much finger nail how much flesh should involve, with what speed and what force? left hand dynamics, touch the fret or no touch, the speed pressure on and on and on.

Lucas, that is the most insane version i have ever hear in my life, and i have played for 40 years!! So well done!!!
Thanks a lot, brother!
I've actually played this song for 40 years, too, and it's been flawless -- of course, I was playing the LP which I hid inside the Christmas music jacket and only listened to when my parents weren't around -- ha. I "almost" got to see them live in 1973. I grew up and lived in a small, rural town in central Virginia, and of course we all lied to our parents and said we were going to see the Carpenters (whom I also loved), in Richmond and spending the night with somebody's aunt and uncle, when in truth, they were playing in DC, which was about a 4-hour drive away, and one of our friend's older brother was in college at Georgetown, and he was going to buy our tickets if we paid for his - tickets on the floor were $7. But at the last minute, one of the moms got suspicious and then found a picture of Robert Plant in those "leave nothing to the imagination" right jeans and home we stayed. My older brother tried to intervene and say he needed to wear his pants that tight to hit those high notes. Ha. But you're correct. Unless you've played both an electric and an acoustic, you can't know how almost impossible it is for him to have played like that on an acoustic guitar. A true master and a joy to watch. Best wishes, Patricia PS: I love watching the few videos of when they played this live in England and at Madison Sq. Gardens. They always closed their concert with this song, and Jimmy kind of sways as though he's rocking a baby in his arms for the beginning.
Gives me goosebumps that one man and one guitar can nail that tune. Absolutely brilliant.
This was unbelievable! I saw Led Zeppelin play this live in Los Angeles back in 1975. You brought back memories. Thank you.
I wish I was there too :/
I can’t imagine how it feels to be able to play such beautiful music whenever you want, its a blessing you have. The best i’ve seen with the instrument. Continue on bro💪🏽 .
Not a blessing. Pure passion and hundreds of hours of work to get to this level of mastery. ❤️
It's not a blessing. Certainly he has aptitude, but he worked his a** off for hundreds of thousands of hours, that's why he's this amazing.
@@shannaveganamcinnis-hurd405 Lot more than hundreds, but yes. I personally have probably 50,000 hours, and I'm a very solid "average" player. :)
@@charleswettish8701Actually? If you put 3 hours of practice in a day, which is more than most people have the free time for, it would take close to 50 years to reach 50000 hours.
And this guy does not look even close to old enough to even be approaching “hundreds of thousands”. Your numbers look very off
Best version I’ve ever heard........WOW!!!!!! I just don’t see how this could be any more clean. Perfection.
❤🎸
Please listening arrangement from Luca stricagnoli
I like the addition of all the little details jimmy page tended to add live. Really fills out this arrangement!
Thanks!
@beanie0112 Of course not, it's a totally different style using techniques that aren't typical of Jimmy Page's repertoire.. I think, if you asked Jimmy Page to play an acoustic version of Stairway, it would be completely different from this. I think, technically speaking, this is more inspired by the likes of Tommy Emmanuel and Chet Atkins.
@beanie0112 you clearly haven't heard page on acoustic guitar. It's more pristine precision and sound then his playing on electric.
Just great Lucas, you really took this to another level
Thanks, Yoni. You did a great job there too!
Awesome
Dois monstros, Yoni e Lucas. Fantásticos.
Esto es una obra maestra, esto es lo que deberíamos apreciar y dar valor, no desmerito ningún género, toda la música es buena, pero cuando escuchas esto (en su versión original) pero esta adaptación de este caballero es simplemente sublime, aplausos para este man!
Simplesmente demais, a melhor versão de todos os tempos show de bola.
Obrigado, Marcos :)
Это просто ШОК! Давно со слезами не слушал музыку. Прочитал Цеппелинов душой и до каждой нотки. Браво, Лукас!!!
THE BEST VERSION! Such a Phenomenal TALENT!
Thanks, Marvelous!
Better than the original.
@@lucasimbiriba
Thank you, I just quit playing the guitar today... 🙄
I have no words to express my feelings. I am humbled by this man’s talent and obvious passion. We need a lot more of that in this world
I love he incorporates the elements of Jimmy's neat little trills when he played this live.
The 972 dislikes are all guitar center employees
Hahahaha
lolol
i'd be curious to see what the 186 dislikers do better in their life... This is respectful to the original. Well done Lucas.
all thats left of them anyways haha...
....Or Page is jealous !
When a guitarists playing stokes emotions you know they have some real talent. Especially if you watch the video all the way through.
Thanks Garrett!
Absolutely genius 👏. Best version ever been played on any guitar. Amazing performance, one of best peices of music I have seen.
Good god man ! I lived breathed and played everything Zep since childhood. I learned to play guitar because of Zep. I was at their last show in the US, Oakland ca. This rendition brought me to me knees and literally made me well up. You absolutely captured the soul of the greatest rock band in history. The second time through I was full throating the lyrics I haven’t done in years. Brilliant work my brother. Thank you.
People disliking don't even know what he was sharing. He made the sound as if someone was running up the stairs and falling back and got up. Beautiful and so talented. Just wow.
Thanks David
Сказать ,что это круто , это ничего не сказать! У меня нет слов! Просто куча позитива!
Да уж, Цепелиновская лестница это шедевр,но как Lucas исполняет вообще что то заоблачное. Красава-виртуоз👍
I love watching his head move around it’s so fun to watch his hair and his facial expressions. This guys is absolutely amazing❤
As a led zeppelin fans, that is very impressive play and the best stairway to heaven fingerstyle I've ever seen bro! Keep up the good work 🤘🔥
Thanks, Aldy!
This should have well over a million views, incredible man, seriously.
Thanks, man!
Accidentally just stumbled upon you Sir Lucas , whilst consuming a lot of alcohol . I thought you were superb . Now i have drank myself sober, I may believe, you are the greatest Acoustic guitarist ever. Just saying .
Thanks a lot David!🤜🏼🤛🏼
😂😂😂David😂😂😂good one! I just stumbled on him, and I think I'll keep him🤗
@@robinemery Tbh I can't think of anyone better but I'm a casual. Can you give me someone who's better so I can check them out?
J'avais pris ma guitare le temps que mes enfants jouent au parc, elle est restée à sa place, vraiment envoûtant d'écouter ce génie.
Bravo, incroyable
Não aceite que te chamem de músico, instrumentista ou qualquer coisa do gênero... exija ser chamado de "mágico", porque é isso que você faz: MÁGICA! Espetacular, PQP!!
Valeu 🤟🏼🧙🏻♂️🎸
There are so many stairway covers. This is probably the best.
I haven't had the urge to listen to Stairway to Heaven in years. Just by chance, I thought I might see what fingerpicking the entire song on an acoustic guitar might look like. OMG Lucas is Great! I really enjoyed all that you have done with this piece . . . it doesn't get any better than this. I wish you success in getting lots of exposure
I wanted to say something deep and meaningful, but all I can manage is WOW!
Singularily the most amazing demonstration of guitar brilliance I've ever seen.
I've been playing guitar for 35 years and I am humbled.
Awesome, my friend. Thanks for your words❤🎸
Forget about how great this dude is- He's got the all-time best guitar faces.
You should be paid as much as athletes get paid. I can’t imagine the time and effort spent into getting the amount of skills you have and deliver FLAWLESSLY. That was beautiful.
Thanks, Daniela. It's true that I've spent most of my life over a guitar. Thanks for the observation ;)
@@lucasimbiriba ofc np! You gained a new subscriber :)
New Subscriber!!
@Myself andI just say you’re jealous and go
@Myself andI oh, it seems like someone is in desperate need of attention 😭
Sir you are the reason that I will never stop playing and practicing my guitar, cause if one day I have just 1% of your skills I would be happy. Thank you
Keep it up Mikhail! You'll get there❤🎸
@@lucasimbiriba yes sir u bet, thank u so much
It kinda does the opposite to me. Just when I think I’m getting somewhere I hear this and just want to give up and throw my guitar out the window lol
@@kenwickcook8413 I do understand but I can't give up just like that, remember "what is the point in knowing everything, when we can always challenge ourselves to be better than we are now". Don't stop dude keep learning.
I shall never quit, I have too much fun, however there is that moment of “why bother?” Lol.
It is a wonderful gift to express exactly what you are trying to play with your God givin hands .. I have been playing 30yrs and I still can't project exactly what I am hearing in my head the frustration is excruciating to the point I have sold everything guitar related and bought it all again twice I am so glad to see you doing exactly what I have been trying to do all these years.... god bless never stop you are fantastic at expression all the best JOHN from easthaven Ct
Thanks a lot for your words, John. I must confess that I had great throughout my history. It helps a lot to have some experienced people trying to help you cross bridged. I hope you are able to express the way you feel someday :) cheers♥️🎸
I've been playing for decades and after watching him play I realize I wasn't really playing anything at all. This is pure talent, well done Lucas.
This is the craziest and most amazing version I have ever heard by a long shot! I was more and more intrigued as the song went on to see how he’d play out each segment of the song with a different finger style. It was so intense that I was actually getting nervous about how he’s manage to match “one of the greatest solos of all time” to the rest of the song. Needless to say it was brilliant and masterfully done.
...
This enhanced my life in many ways and I thank you for those wonderful 7:21 seconds. Not a moment of my life was wasted listening to this masterpiece.
Thanks, Kovi. Your words inspire me to keep on going. Have a nice day 🤟🏼❤
That performance is quite frankly the most impressive piece of art that I’ve seen on UA-cam.
Live version to boot!
Bravo!
Thanks, Steve!
This isn’t a cover, this is an experience. Amazing
Thanks, man!
This is AMAZING!!! Ive heard it numerous times and it just dawned on me that Lucas’ arrangement of Stairway to Heaven sounds like it was written by MOZART for guitar!!! All the lightning quick flourishes between what sounds EXACTLY like the original song and pinpoint accuracy, timing and “feel” reminds of Mozart’s style. Genius!!!
Possibly the best interpretation I've ever heard of StH... Absolutely stunning, well played 👏👏👏
INSANE. I havent seen a guitarist like this in a long... time...or close to never. Wish someone in Zeppelin would watch this
Me too! Thanks bro
Just like heart at the Kennedy center.
They were amazing
And led zeppelin was sitting and amazed at the version of it.
@@mylord4321 that was a great rendition!
Your skill is mind-blowing, sir. I've been playing music for thirty-five years and I'm nowhere close to being at this level. I also wanted to say thank you for these amazing acoustic versions of songs like this one and Hotel California. Hearing unplugged versions of songs I want to learn makes it loads easier, lol. Keep on jamming!
Absolutamente impecable! Que hermoso escuchar uno de los grandes clásicos del rock en manos de este genio!!!!
this deserves billions of views.
Thanks!
I can't for the life of me figure out what the dislike crowd is thinking when they click thumbs down here. Jealousy is the only thing I can come up with. This guy is simply incredible and dedication to a craft like he obviously has never deserves a negative response.
Because they’re a bunch of haters.
they probably work at a guitar store
Led Zeppelin in flamenco style. Spectacular!
🤟🏼🎸❤
When you pick a perfect song and improve it. Thank you for your contribution to the world of sounds.
Imagine going into a guitar shop, start playing this song, the employees thinking: here we go again... And then pulling off this!
🤣🎸🤟🏼
🤣 the forbidden song lol
Wasnt that smoke on the water
They'd probably give you a free Gibson
@@lucasimbiriba would love to see a reaction of people of you playing this in a store hahaha
WOW! My mouth was open through the whole performance! It's more than unbelievable, It should not be possible.... But, Lucas did it... Right?
My mouth was open the whole way through! Holy crap that was just brilliant
😅🎸🤟🏼awesome!!
Unbelievable... Amazing
Widząc i słysząc takich ludzi jak ty chce się jeszcze żyć, i jest nadzieja na ten coraz bardziej chory świat. Szacun kolego. Muzyka to nieskończenie najlepszy dar od niebios. Pozdrawiam
The only version allowed in guitar stores
Hopefully!
Wayne's World reference there! m.ua-cam.com/video/RD1KqbDdmuE/v-deo.html
I hope this one is allowed too ua-cam.com/video/dYIPm0EVLcg/v-deo.html
In my 38 years of playing i never saw anyone with such solid technique. Hats off.
Thanks, Ray :)
Главное, чтоб не было слишком большого упора в технику =) Иногда это в ущерб самой композиции! Музыка не спорт!
O avião no final foi a cereja do bolo dessa vigem, cara!! sem palavras!!! a melhor versão de todas!!! forever!! forever!!!
Valeu, Wendell!
I can see Robert Plant with tears in his eyes. Bravo Lucas !!!
Este señor lucas es un maestro, los integrantes de la banda de esta pieza de seguro quedarían asombrados al escuchar tan magnífica interpretación de su clásico. Arriba LUCASSSSS
The 1.4K dislike are people that thought this was a cover. I just saw a guy playing his own version of a classic, and it was phenomenal. Well played Lucas!
Jimmy Page is one of my all-time favorite guitarists, this rendition was beautiful I am sure he would approve.
You have an unparalleled gift of being able to retain the essence and spirit of the material, without simply copying the notes and genuinely create something new. As always marvelous.
Woah, hold up, bro. That may have been the GOAT cover of Stairway. It’s definitely the best fingerstyle picking on acoustic guitar I have or will probably ever hear of that cover.
When someone master's an instrument, it's always good.
Master technician. I don't think I've ever seen anyone totally brutalized the entire fretboard just like I saw this man do. What a tribute to LZ
Stairway to heaven is by far my favourite song to play on guitar, and I sure will try to master Lucas’ cover. Great work!
Good luck
Best complement I can give is...I got the slight chills during the solo just like I do when I listen to the original. What is extra special? One man and an acoustic guitar (MUCH harder to play, especially on any lead stuff) with almost zero effects -- including no repeat pedal. Bravo.
