The Rain Song - Led Zeppelin Cover

[1960Pagefan]

Very nice, learning from the master Jimmy Page.

[Luukeeeehh]

very nice! sounds very good dude

you must cover the live version of this song that would be awesome!hope to hear from you in the future!

[runick29]

Nice man

[wildnites558]

Nice job little man! I think you have a bright future in this thing they call Rock and Roll thing. Sounds like you even used the right tuning for this song.

[riokosan]

ur hair!!!

[juan1moore]

Wow this is still an amazing cover coming from a 10 year old. I admit this has to be one of my favorite zep songs along with bring it on home and since I've been loving you. I learned the album and live version and blew my friends away with both covers. You should try to cover the live version. Would be nice to see. The live version has a lighter tuning. The original is DGCGCD and the live is EADADE. Try it out and post the result on youtube!!

[fiomily225]

Be proud man! This rocks :D

[mgaskill182]

Wonderful job young man, keep on pick'in

[TaraAldana]

Dude for a kid your good at the guitar man! Keep it up cause you have a talent.

[MGNDELIAS]

You are the man!!!

[Lionsgrrr]

Great job! You are quite the guitarist ;-)

[The1970sInfatuate]

Very nice sounding reverb :).

[GeankDOORS]

There are some details but overall is a good cover..good taste in music kid...things like this makes me think that there's a better future for music... not all the kids have to be into some today's crappy music...

So keep rocking!!!! (Y)

[lokillogim]

@MiniJimmyBoy Hey very good :D 

[sinsagoodmansbrother]

Excellent.... You got It my young brother... Now keep at It until you're the best guitar player ever....

[angbernardo]

Cool.. check my version out on my page

[THotchGladwell]

very impressive! You are very talented and should be proud!

[MiniJimmyBoy]

@THotchGladwell Haha, thank you :) Personally, this is my favorite cover, I just love the song.

[gunsnatcher2112]

this kid is awesome 

[Musicgirl6572]

That was really good! Here's a tip that will make the outro much easier, instead of using a pick you fingerpick, you know where I mean. At the 7:19 part. Once you get the hang with finger picking, its much easier. =) Keep rockin!!!

[burnabit]

Excellent man! Great song and incredible playing of it. Rock on man!

[Monsieurmul]

Hi Thian =D)

nice cover !!

bravo ragazzo !!

[thicop10]

the tunning is D-C-G-C-G-D ;D

you did very good kid!

[brandinator22]

@thicop10

*DGCGCD

[thicop10]

@brandinator22 oh yeah, you right, I've started to count from the high E and then I've passed a reverse information heuaheuahue :D

[BALKISDREAMER]

Hey, minimoy! Here youare again, in the Rain! Another great song! Page plays it with his double neck SG in concert, with 12 stgs neck... Listen to the version in "The song remains the same", the double live in 76, but the studio version has a lot of charm with those marvelous strings arrangements and JP Jones piano...I wish you all the best in music; and don't lose the rythm!

[sabaqat]

very good playing, and smart too. good job. i agree about variety of music... i'm sure you'll listen to and learn all the famous rock guitarists.  it's inspiring to hear you play so well at such a young age.

[ioriorioriorio]

Very kool, I was 10 when this song came out! You've done your homework, and I'd like to hear some of your tunes- bet there amazing

[nandho5]

What's the tunning?

[MiniJimmyBoy]

@nandho5 DGCGAD? I think?

[EKK330]

@MiniJimmyBoy DGCGCD

[lionellogan]

@MiniJimmyBoy its DGCGCD

[aliefmarinecadet]

@MiniJimmyBoy na its DGCGCD

[TheMatteo96]

@MiniJimmyBoy I use the DGCGCD tuning, try with this!

[dude1305]

@MiniJimmyBoy Studio version is DGCGCD. Live version is EADADE.

[irapehard]

@MiniJimmyBoy DGCGCD actually for studio tuning

[MrD4ron]

@MiniJimmyBoy

I think DGCGCD

[nearvana2003]

@MrD4ron this is the tuning

[MrSpensduncan]

dude i totaly agree with ur caption and what is the tuning for this

[arai59]

Wish I had half your talent when I was 10. Keep it up son.......your good.

[Primrisen]

The best cover on youtube... BRILLIANT - and thanks!

Do you have the tabs???

[edmiglia]

Excellent! Beautiful sound! Good job figuring out the tuning too.

[SpencerStreetStation]

Awesome man, keep playing whatever you do, you rock. Just remember to become a legnd you'll have to eventually do your own stuff, but you have loads of time and Mozart used to play Bach's stuff ALL the time to see harmony/structure etc. So, go for t kid, wow! James Page would be so impressed with this.

[elename3]

Sweet song. You're really good :)

[LedZepplin3853]

thats one of my favs and u performed it great nice job

[bergami2398]

Bellisimo..!!!

What a bright future..!

[webwillie1]

Oh yeah...I agree with the other dude, U2 SUCKS

[webwillie1]

You're good kid

[mooseknuckle311]

Good chops, mate. You're missing one thing though. Page sold his soul to the devil.

[chest002]

I have a challange for you. Since U2's Edge influence was J Page, Let's see what you can do with "Beautiful Day". Get fimiliar with digital delay timing, and also use of two delays set at different ms's. The Edge is influencing a lot of bands now. Zeppilin is great and quite a feat to play his stuff. Let's see what you can do with U2. Keep on playin. You have a future in the music industry.

[MiniJimmyBoy]

Hey, thanks. I will take that challenge.

[countnerdo]

I have a challenge - keep listening to Led Zeppelin and bands you like, and stay away from shit like U2 that should never be uttered in the same sentence as Led Zeppelin, unless you're drawing a stark contrast between bands with talent and those with little.

[MiniJimmyBoy]

Countnerdo, its always good to expand your horizons with different music so you can take away much more than sticking to what you know, actually i was into U2 before I was into Led Zeppelin. U2 is actually the band that got me started.

[chest002]

@countnerdo I will not be so narrow minded that I think only one group is great. Versitlaty is a good thing. Mastering digital delay timing in itself is an art. IE U2. I love L Z . Saw Zep in 1977 in Greensboro with John on the drums. Clearly my favorite then. My point is that bands get influence from somewhere. Nowadays U2, Oasis, and Coldplay are influencing rock music today. Take a trip to Europe. I did. Those bands are current. Don't be a stick in the mud. Nobody was comparing U2 with Zep.

[BALKISDREAMER]

@countnerdo Let him listen what he wants! U2 is a very good and tasty shit! Mini jimmy is 10! As he answered , let him expand his horizons, as any real musician should! Keep on open your ears to a max of different musics, Minijimmy! The guitar world is very wide, and Page has a great musical culture.

[RobDZeppelin]

@countnerdo wow are you seriously that immature? its fucking music. just let it be. you make use zeppelin fans look stupid

[harrypotterphan9]

Oh yeah man. I'm almost 13. I have a ton of Led Zeppelin vids on my channel. I take requests.

My favorite song is The Rain Song too!

[raciel63]

Ecxelenteeee!! amigo Very nice bro!!!

[italianjobb]

God Thian!! Jimmy Page couldnt do better!! You great!!!!!!!!!!

[xennion]

very very impressive. Keep it up. I foresee you will be a great guitarist and hit mainstream. :) . How often do you see 10 year olds playing led zeps so bloody well? I'm 20+ and I'm struggling with this tune. :()

[xxxxxxNIRVANAxxxxxx]

yeah im like 13 and it took me awhile to discover zeppelin... jimmys my god now :o but yeah its awkward how it took me time to find zeppelin. nice playn man keep it up awesome since ive been lovin you

[HateIsGood2]

it took me 15 years. its been one year since i first heard zeppelin, and its the only band i am never getting tired of.

[akamcatl]

[numba1con]

you should try to kick it up a little bit by adding hammer ons, and pull offs where you think they should be.

Then you can be called Jimmy page

[bulldozerspeechdemon]

[Matt123ttam]

dude. u outta get a strat or a tele

[bscott45555]

teles are amzing guitars!! dude could i request a song?

[computerguitar1]

It is a tele just not a Fender or Squire.

[Matt123ttam]

no, that is a knock off tele

[computerguitar1]

Actually did say it was not a Fender or Squire.

[computerguitar1]

Knockoff or not, it is still a telecaster style guitar.

[MiniJimmyBoy]

My guitar is a schecter pt fastback a copy of the fender telecaster 72' deluxe.

[woody5362]

Amazing performance!

[cortez1550]

1hillbillygirl learn to walk upright and buy some shoes before you start talking the queens english you colonial peasant,bumshakka

[1HillbillyGirl]

Found your video via 'Jenluvsthenuge,' and I'm really glad I did! First time I worked with Led Zeppelin, they were just a warm up band; I've followed them for decades and can honestly say *you* cover them beautifully.

Remember to keep your focus on your music, not the ignorant flamers. After all, despite the criticism endured by John Lennon his work endures :)

[MiniJimmyBoy]

thanks for the fantastic comment!

[cortez1550]

people with red hair should not wear red also your just playing along with the record,my cat could that with a bowl of milk in each paw your a fake

[1HillbillyGirl]

@cortez1550:

A middle age man criticizing the efforts of a youngster? Such mean spirited comments, neither instructive or constructive, suggest a low-born, nescient existence devoid of ethical standards. Shame on you. Educate yourself.

[MiniJimmyBoy]

yes! my first fake comment!

[penspend]

he's playing along with the song! at least know what's going on before you criticize people o_0

[ledz3pp3lin]

is this the live version

[MiniJimmyBoy]

no, its the studio version.

[ledz3pp3lin]

LOVE THIS SONG

[courtesyofcassidy]

This is such a great song to play. You do it really well.

[guitarslingeroflove]

dude, you rock, this is an underrated song. You do a good job with it.

[Michellemartin1]

Kid- your absoloutley awesome!!! My 9 year old son wants to play just like you. What age were you when you started playing? My son wants to learn to play because of watching you! What a talented young man you are!

[MiniJimmyBoy]

Thanks for your great comment! I was 8 when I started learning the acoustic guitar and then started on the electric guitar when I was 9. Good luck.

[Michellemartin1]

This song has aleays had a special place in my heart. I know it's hard to play because I have been requesting for my uncle to play it since I was about 3- and I'm 37 now and it's the one song that he sighs and says- why do you always request THAT one? He's been playing it his whole life and I swear- you play it better than him. I will tell my son that it's not too late to learn to play! Thanks for taking the time to answer us!

[stratdude22]

nice chords on the bridge

it sounds sick

[penspend]

my dad's trying to learn this on his strat, it's funny to listen to him and then hear you play it. your version is great :)

[jimmypagekid95]

hey in this song it looks like ur guitar pick ups are different form when ur playing "since i've been loving you" did u change them?

[MiniJimmyBoy]

sorry i didn't get back to you earlier, yes they are different, my new pickups are from bg pups.

[rockoutmusic]

Keep coming back to this one. Great playing!

[zeppelinrock]

Nice! One of my fav Led Zep songs. You should do a cover of Ten Years Gone

[DxRox22]

this is really good but try alternate picking it will make you faster

[MiniJimmyBoy]

i am using alternate picking

[javirora]

Te firsts chords please!!

[MiniJimmyBoy]

you can figure it out by the first three chords in Something by The Beatles

tuning is DGCGCD

[javirora]

Thanks, I know the chords of something

[mitchskater]

you take lessons at all?

[MiniJimmyBoy]

yeah, but i have only been having lessons for 2 and a half years. for several months I haven't had any lessons, but i am going to be learning some jazz soon from a jazz guitarist.

[mytheropy]

You are Amazing. Keep up the Great work.

You'll sellout Arenas soon.

[MiniJimmyBoy]

i don't think i will sell out arenas soon, maybe in 15 years...

[mytheropy]

You could be right with that one

but look at Tal Wilkenfeld, she played @ EC Crossroads Concert.

Keep up the Great work Kid!

[timtipton5071256]

I'm a guitar teacher with several younger students, I think I'll use your site as inspiration for them, I just gotta make sure your extremely great talent don't discourage them too much, in that " I'll never be that good " .. I really would like to see how phenomenal you are gonna be when you are about 20... Rock on Jimmy boy..

[Tengent]

That was awesome. :)

[Lemke68]

did u turn ur guitar down? cause the tabs i got said to do that,

[MiniJimmyBoy]

yeah, i did

[Lemke68]

thank you love this song

[ozzypink]

beautiful...

you need to play the ending with fingers...ehehe

I saw Jimmy did it in "no quarter" dvd

[leviathan1988uk]

This is actually by far one of my favourite songs by Led Zep and probably will be for a long time, you do it jutice kida. Another favourite of mine is Tea for One on the presense album. :) Very underated gem of an album.

I should probably learn how to do this and Tea for One, gimmie 5 to 10 years. Hehe. D:

[sandprof]

I like for tea for one - it is as good as SIBLY from 3 and sounds like a plant solo track or something that should be on ITTOD - its *king long as well. I reckon the album apart from ALS and T41 sound rushed cw the rest of their work. The little girl on the cover looks like Hugh Wallace

[MiniJimmyBoy]

yeah. tea for one is in my top 10 zeppelin songs. and presence is my favorite zep album.

[4u2know1]

It's a gift and a good teacher. I love this song and you do it honor. You Rock!

J. Austin

☆☆☆☆☆ ARTISTS FOR PEACE , LOVE & HARMONY ❤ ☮ ☆☆☆☆☆

[jkraff]

Nice my guitar brother... \m/

[MiniJimmyBoy]

mmm, yes.

i just installed new pickups in it and got it setup

[amccann7]

You're excellent! You picked the right music to learn! Best wishes for success!

[spudhead175]

great ! i love this song so much! led zeppelin are the best band ever!

[rockoutmusic]

Great job! You have great feel when you play.

[MiniJimmyBoy]

thanks!

[fittesmr]

U Sux get a life !

[mitchskater]

you get a life instead of wasting everyones fucking time by saying stupid ass shit about something you cant do, so fucking learn it and do better than him, or else him alone and stop leaving gay ass comments like that

[Trashmetalmilitia]

It Think he meant it as a joke cause this little man got skills

[Wilditoo61]

dang your good if you do stairway to heaven that would be awesome

[reshamari11]

Son I have decided after seeing this video clip that I will not hide that you are my son anymore. I'm coming to New Zealand soon to pick you up. But, before that I will stop in Australia to claim fatherhood of my other son the lead singer of WolfMother. See you soon son. I am only a couple of airports away from you. Tell your mom and her new husband that I am coming so that they won't be surprised when they see me. I will bring you Robert Plant's wrinkled skin as a gift. Sincerely, Jimmy Paige.

[MiniJimmyBoy]

and the biggest lol in my entire life

[ZepKnebworth79]

LOL!!!!!!!!!

[Neurotoxin65]

resh, that is some FUNNY shit! I laughed so hard I almost dropped my guitar!!

[sk8ncre8]

EXCELLENT!!!!!!!! You have inspired me at 46 to learn guitar!!! Great playing and not just becasue you are young.

[MiniJimmyBoy]

Thanks Samcosby for the comment.

I kinda do both in tab and ear. First I learn by tab, then I revise the songs that I learnt and correct bits that r wrong or bits that the tab missed out.

Oh, the Tuning is (from low to high)

DGCGCD

U have to use that tuning if u want to play it correct. (Apart from live version.)

Thian

[roylett]

dude you are absolutely awsum i wish u lived near me so we could jam haha

[MiniJimmyBoy]

it would be cool to jam with u too, lol!

Thanks for the comment

[TheGuyWithAScythe]

Master of Puppets?!?! That I must see! Plz vid :D

[Zziggi]
