We all know Stairway, and there are any number of Tabs out there that are as good or as bad as each other.
You've not been playing guitar very long, if I read your first (other) post right, so Stairway is way above your level of ability right now. I'd suggest you head over to our very own lessons pages and get stuck in.

I know Stairway is generally considered one of those songs that most beginning guitar players learn.
The problem is that they are either learning a very simplified version or only the intro/easier parts.
I suggest that you put that song aside for now and pick it up later when you can try to learn it all the way through, accurate to the original. Use it as a goal song... "I want to learn Stairway in x months, but not until I have the necessary skills to do it justice".
By the way... you will get kicked out of most music stores for playing Stairway... just kidding :D (or am I?)

If you have Microsoft Word, I have a pretty good version that I did a while back. I spent days getting it laid out in a nice format. It's 5 pages of print and won't translate to plain text very well. You can download it here...

I wish they would add Black Sabbath's "Paranoid" to that list.

thanks all
So any good ideas as to where I can start? whats a good first song to learn, a friend of mine said there were a few Beatles songs that were only a few cords! anyone know which ones??
Start with the early ones - She Loves You, Hard Day's Night, I Wanna Hold Your Hand, and go from there

If you have Microsoft Word,
If you don't, just download OpenOffice. It's as good as Word, but 100% cheaper (i.e. free)
I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.

Play this with a capo on the first fret. It may work without a capo; this guy doesn't use a capo and plays these chords (Brazilian Portuguese version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiyf7OfYMoA ). Patati Patata is a nonsensical Brazilian Portuguese phrase, I am told.Intro: |A |A |A |A ||

or Enter Sandman - I swear has become the new Smoke on the Water
Just on principle I don't think I want to learn Stairway to Heaven or Smoke on the Water :lol: (not that there's much to learn in Smoke on the Water).

What I found really helpful .... enough so that I can play what's taught in these 2 videos is:

The second part is also listed there.
When I first started (being a beginner) my fingers cramped up just trying to finger the first three chords.
It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.
