It teaches so many different styles too. Stairway can teach classical guitar, rock, jazz, etc. just by playing it on different instruments in different ways. The entire intro is basically a classical guitar piece.

Stairway wasn't the first song I learned but probably the 3rd or 4th and gave me all the fundamentals I needed and pushes guitarists past that point where they are just playing C, G, A and then the guitar collects dust.
