About the author

Led Zeppelin were an English rock band formed in London in 1968. The group consisted of guitarist Jimmy Page, singer Robert Plant, bassist and keyboardist John Paul Jones, and drummer John Bonham. The band's heavy, guitar-driven sound, rooted in blues and psychedelia on their early albums, has earned them recognition as one of the progenitors of heavy metal, though their unique style drew from a wide variety of influences, including folk music.

After changing their name from the New Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin signed a deal with Atlantic Records that afforded them considerable artistic freedom. Although the group was initially unpopular with critics, they achieved significant commercial success with albums such as Led Zeppelin (1969), Led Zeppelin II (1969), Led Zeppelin III (1970), Led Zeppelin IV (1971), Houses of the Holy (1973), and Physical Graffiti (1975). Their fourth album, which features the track "Stairway to Heaven", is among the most popular and influential works in rock music, and it helped to secure the group's popularity.

Good arrangement of tabs and easy to read.

[FlibBityFLooB · Rating 4 out of 5]

I've played a couple different arrangements of Stairway to Heaven by Dan Coates in the past. One lacked a lot of the main melody, and the other was full of a lot of 4-fingered chords and awkward hand positions. Carol Matz's arrangement in this book was much better in my opinion. It was easy to play, kept all the main melody points, and it was still possible to do some improvisational embellishments.

I also enjoyed playing Black Dog and Kashmir . I didn't try any of the other songs.
