Stairway to Heaven
The arpeggiated intro to Stairway to Heaven uses a Telecaster through a small Supro amp for a warm, clean tone with subtle compression. As the song builds, the tone gradually shifts from clean fingerpicking to heavier strumming. The famous solo section uses a Les Paul through a cranked Marshall for a completely different character — singing sustain with aggressive attack.
