This instrumental piece is a pattern in songwriting that begins the song by spelling out the chords followed by rhythmic strumming, and a descending return to the spelled-out chord(s). Instead of a guitar pick, an improvised, plastic "bread clip (fastener)" is being used to substitute what should be a regular guitar pick. While improvisation functions well for guitar picks - the same cannot be said for the missing 12th string of this normally 12-string acoustic/electric guitar. The full sound of a completely-strung, intonated and well-tuned 12-string guitar is as magical as the songwriting talent that went into writing Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" - also the ultimate 12-string guitar song forbidden play at guitar stores with a sense of humor.
