My rendition of Led Zeppelin's classic, Stairway to Heaven, on piano. I did play this on an actual piano, though on multiple takes. It's pretty much the solo that gives me trouble, I can play it, but it's challenging to do in one go. I was a little sloppy towards the end of the solo, but overall I like it.

Delicate!!!

I love it! The piano really let the emotions out. I heard this song butchered so many time! It good to hear that there is some one in the world with passion for this song. Well done! :D

5/5 !!!

Thanks! I worked really hard on making it my own, while not losing the feel. The original has so many sounds that just make you giddy. I actually was not a huge fan of led zeppelin until quite recently. I had known about them, but never really listened. I knew my parents loved them though, and so I decided to do this. It's always nice to discover great music, even if it's a bit embarrassing to admit that I only recently discovered how awesome they are. : 3
But I ramble. Thanks for the review!

I can feel it

I can feel "it". I can definitely hear more than mere technique. Your playing is good, but you also put a lot of emotions in it. It lives.
The sound quality is close to perfect, I'd say. Except for a little punchy sounds here and there.

I like it a lot. 9/10

Thanks! I try to put "it" into every song I do, though it doesn't always turn out that way.

I Love You

I spent a week learning this by ear, sounded very similar. I then had a week to perfect it for our talent show. I beasted, but I also was acompanied by a saxaphone and flute in certain sections. The solo was close to impossible at first, so I definitely understand your position there. Long story short, it's good to hear someone else learned it on the piano. :)

zOMG I love you too! We must have that in common. I actually tried to play the solo from the vkgoeswild version, but couldn't, so I looked up sheet music, and still couldn't, so then I simplified it and played it by ear. Thanks for the review!
