This thread violates my own "No Stairway to Heaven" rule. We had a rather underwhelming response to Gabriella doing the incredible cover of Andy McKee's Ebon Coast, so I thought I would post a song we can all related to because at some point in our guitar playing years we've all learned this one.

The only thing I can say is "Don't Try This at Guitar Center!"

Sorry, but I'm certain you'll enjoy this particular cover - even if you HATE Stairway to Heaven.

She left out the best half hour of the song. :-).

I had to watch it twice because it just looked/sounded wrong. Then I figured it out. I'm so used to when someone holds the frets (sorry if I'm using the wrong terms) at the end it will be a low note, or high if near the body. But she changed which strings she was playing at the same time so the notes went higher when I expected them to go lower based on which frets she was holding. I was confused until I really watched it carefully.

I would bet she is really good playing Spanish guitar music.

how can you hate Stairway to Heaven?

top three songs that go from speed limit to Mach 2 by the end are Sweet Child O’ Mine, Freebird, and Stairway

Paradise City does that but never loved the song.

Layla goes in the opposite direction.

She is playing off the arrangement as noted on post 6.

This is probably the easiest song she has covered on You Tube. Check out her cover of Billie Jean.

She is an absolutely amazing guitar player.

actually, Night Train (didn’t know it was a drink until the song came out) Think About You (GREAT song) are the best off off Appetite

Back off B... is my favorite off of Illusion (reminds me of an ex :)

Civil War too is really good.

favorite Zep songs: Hey Hey, What Can I Do. The Lemon Song, Heartbreaker

... Started w/ Gabrielle’ Stairway (awesome talent... thanks for posting). Went to her version of ‘Sweet Child of Mine’ ... then onto Myles Kennedy / Slash’s version of ‘Sweet Child of Mine’ (best acoustic version) and then about a half an hour of other acoustic.

She’s on tour in Korea and Japan right now. If you happen to be there next week I’ll send you the link to tickets. :-)

I like that version - took me a while to notice the guitar, though.

Thanks for posting this. Gabriella Quevado is fandamntastic. I just spent 2 hours listening to song after song and don’t regret a minute of it.
