Stairway to Heaven lead guitar solo!

This is a solo on an old Hank Williams track by guitarist Zeke Turner.
It’s approachable for a beginner and has lots of good stuff to practise in there.
Here’s the sheet music;

I was looking for Irish music online and I found this incredible document.

Some kindly soul has scanned in a huge collection of melodies and made them available here

I’m not trying to get you into Irish music , but this is a wonderful document to practise sight reading. It has literally hundreds of short melodies in various keys and time signatures, and there are some real gems in there, too.

I strongly urge you to download this and make it part of your daily routine.

Your reading, as well as your grasp of keys and time signatures, will leap forward.

Spraoi a bheith agat!
