In a new feature in
Classic Rock magazine, Page recalled the solo for Stairway to Heaven being the final touch in sessions for what became Zep s biggest song. I would invariably do guitar solos at the end, once the finished vocals and any overdubs were already on, Page said. Under the [ Stairway ] circumstances here, there s a bass, electric 12-strings, recorders, a whole manner of things. I always put the solo on at the end because you’re really living the track by then, and being the producer, you’ve already supervised all the overdubs that have already gone on.
For Page, after selecting his favorite Telecaster for its signature bite, the most challenge part of the solo was the initial phrase. Once he worked that out, everything else fell into place around it.
