I’m learning this song on the uke to annoy a buddy who thinks he’s the shiz because he can play it on guitar. Thanks for the tab. :)
I don’t think it’s the worst song in existence, but it seems to be one of those songs that people in which people mistake abstract fogginess for deepness.

Just started playing the Uke – thanks for the stuff here.
The other comments here about STH are funny. I graduated HS in ’78. Everywhere I lived STH was immortal. If you’re going to judge songs by the worthiness of their lyrics then half of eveything recorded in the last 40 yrs would have to be thrown out. Anyway it’s all personal opinion but having been there it certainly was a dominating and extremely popular song. They were playing the music with orchestra on the elevator music my parents listened to, and I remember my mom sayin “What a nice song”… I chuckled for quite a while – she would have been shocked to know the tune came from Led Zepplin. Having said all that, it’s not my fav Zepplin song either.

haha, not sure I have ever heard anyone say Stairway To Heaven is a contender for the worst song of all time. I think the guitar solo is one of the best ever played, but that’s my opinion…and you are entitled to yours :)

A few years ago I looked this song up on Youtube and said, “Alright, I here so many good things about this song, let’s hear it.”

Barely having the patience to listen to it all, it finally ended and I wasn’t impressed.
“Uh, okay then.” I thought to myself.

Then, more recently, I was doing stuff on my computer, with Pandora.com open in another tab, when all of a sudden, the song played. I thought,
“Oh yeah, this song! Might as well listen to it…”

8 minutes later, I was surprised. I really enjoyed it that time and although it might not be my favorite song, I can say that it might be the most technically “perfect” song made in the last hundred years.

So what I’m saying is that when you jump right into it on purpose, going “let’s check this totally famous song out and see if it’s really that good”, you’re setting yourself up to being disappointed. You have to let it sneak up on you. That’s probably how all the DJ’s and rock fans experienced it and made it popular several years after it was released, and would explain why the song wasn’t very popular at first.

I was only looking for some Zeppelin ukulele tab when I stumbled across this comment about stairway being one of the worst songs of all time……I almost vomited. EFF you! You do not know two shits about music if you think stair way is one of the worst songs ever! Sure it’s not the best Zeppelin song but it has one of the most influential guitar solos ever and is a revolutionary song ever! And a majority of the world thinks it is the best song in the world so EFF off. You no longer have a right to talk about music.

Stupid question from an absolute beginner (got my uke yesterday…play no other instruments) — what are the little red numbers? Thanks!

I’ve played guitar for 6 years and I learned this song a long time ago but I just got my ukelele and it feels so much cooler playing it in the uke.
