I'm not going to post the original because you all should know it by now! This, though, is the reimagined STH guitar solo by three artists. I really enjoy watching Rick Beato's Youtube channel. The guy is fascinating and imagine having the oomph to call up Eric Johnson and say, "Hey, I have an idea. You want in?" If you haven't watched Beato I suggest hopping on the computer with an afternoon empty and just keep hitting NEXT!

And this one. It may be in this thread already but deserves to be here again. "Hey, we're going to play Stairway to Heaven in front of Led Zeppelin. No pressure."

Here they come to take him off
To jail buddy
And tomorrow someone will bury you"
