The Rain Song (Led Zeppelin)

[AlternateTunerDotCom]

It's pretty obvious that from around 2:30 you've set sail off into another world.

This is absolutely beautiful, inspiring, heart warming, and everything else that music should be.

[MrIFlingPoo]

You blew me away with this ...thank you very much

[deisterminer]

absolutely amazing you nailed it to a tee, you and that guitar are truly one

i believe there could be an explosion in the back of the room your in

and you would keep on playing, intense thank you for posting.

[DougReeves]

That was absolutely wonderful. Thank you for recording that - I did enjoy it.

[terrialan3]

unbelievable from a zep fan!

[JFguitar22]

lol 44 dislike what's wrong with you people ?... this is one of the best song ever written and this is the best cover by far

[RigelDk]

Truly mesmerising.. Wonderful cover of a wonderful song

[Jonza0]

Holy moley. I know you said you do not have tab available, but you would be my hero forever if you at least tabbed your variations. Help a guy out who is trying to learn the best possible version of his love interest's favorite song?

[JJChampbulle]

Magnifique écoutez la pluie tombée !

[001mulehead]

nice

[illeagle7]

Why does your classical guitar sound like an acoustic?

[MrWebon]

@illeagle7 I think because he's not using nylon strings

[ricardohernandezosun]

@illeagle7 that's not a classical guitar, classical guitars have wider necks

[illeagle7]

@ricardohernandezosun

Look at the headstock.

[wpm003]

Fantastic job! This is quite difficult to play well.

[sisjka]

Dude u rock

[TomNY]

Masterful!

[billcoons]

Gorgeous!

[LilChummmmmm]

Now play it at the foot of my bed at 3am, in the candle light and I will lie there, listening in awe, absorbing every beautiful note!

[AscoliChaChaCha]

Beautiful.

[mattmudd69]

Nice! More please...

[cKy420cKy]

i agree your play this song exactly like jimmy

[ThePyromancers]

This has got to be one of the most tear-inducingly beautiful renditions of any song ever. You have mad skills, fella.

[BryanWells]

Awesome. I think you'd love a Octave Mandolin interpretation found here: /watch?v=qlM-tu8cm8Q&feature=B­Fa&list=PL1BE64865281BC7F4&lf=­mh_lolz

[schwill81]

That was beautiful brother

[emmytapia]

you´re awsome!!

[steveh777ify]

Exceptional...and truly beautiful.

....Loving Your Work, Sir !

[Rudeimental]

WoW!!! Excellent my friend ... Jimmy would be proud, the best rendition I have ever heard, I would love to have you in my band!!

[TheXXXDB]

pay close attention boys and girls......this is the way its done........fantastic arragement and cover.....100 stars!!!!!!

[MaxFactor802]

Look up rainy mood on youtube and play the first video while you listen to this

[TheAxis456]

Steel strings on a classical guitar?

[burkinheath]

@TheAxis456 it sound 100%, are you worried about a colour scheme ?

[rawoofi]

@TheAxis456 It's not a classical.

[TheAxis456]

@rawoofi You sure? The headstock definitely looks like a classical guitar.

[rawoofi]

@TheAxis456 I think he has a parlour guitar, the headstocks on those tend be the same ones on classical guitars. Also, his guitar has a pickguard, classicals almost never have pickguards because they're designed to be played fingerstyle. Fretboard inlays are also rare on classicals. Plus, if you put steel strings on a classical, it would sound horrible and nowhere near as nice as this guy's guitar sounds :P

[TheAxis456]

@rawoofi ah, thanks. yea he has a very nice sound. 

[RyanCalder]

Amazing, very similar tastes in music! I'd love it if you guys checked my channel out, thanks! RC

[jarshhalesyy]

this is actually perfect. everything sounds perfect down to the last note.

very well played!

[salmonator231]

Haunting like Jimmy, you have a true ear..... Well done...

[Three6ty45]

You are an absolute wizard. I listen to this video at least 10X per week while im sittin gat me desk working and it never gets old.

You make that guitar sing perfectly.

[bogart45102]

I finally learned this song thanks to your video.

[DPDyer11]

Thanks so much for posting this. I'm learning the correct way to play it from this video. I hope that's okay. What kind of strings do you use? I recently bought a D41 and am trying out different strings to find the sound I like. Thanks again for posting this. It's quite beautiful.

[BackdoorPlumber]

God, I wish I could play like that. You're amazing, old man.

[Virtuoso1996]

this guy is a GENIUS

[ipastanaga88]

You are a YouTube axe hero God type figure. Amazing. I think I once stumbled on the opening tuning for this song but can't remember how it went. Marvellous playing and remembering,

[ilPandassassino]

YOU ARE MY GOD! :D Congratulation!

[MrGuitardude1104]

[taiwanelisa]

A couple of months ago, looking for some Queen songs i stumbled by chance on your channel, which caused me to start learning guitar last month. Your rendition of Rain Song is my best motivation to go on.

Thanks fm Taiwan.

[knvk2008]

one word ..amazing ..

[matteliano454]

Wow. What a beautiful job. I was in a trance watching you own that guitar !

[MichaelsPortraits]

This guy is just a tremendous , dedicated musician , every element of his playing is soulful , inspired and precise ....He has the unique ability to pick out the subtle nuances of timing, harmony and phrasing that most players miss , even the higher caliber ones!

[fersh02]

I turn as many people I can on to you.

[Doggi245]

Master !

[voodoochef100]

what a freaking difference the correct tuning makes.....I've been playing it in standard tuning for so long, but this not only sounds so much better, its also alot easier to play. Thanks for posting this video.

[dkaakd]

You posted this 4 years ago and it is still the best arrangement on YouTube

[rocksnob14]

@dkaakd I could not agree more.  I have probably listened to it 100 times.

[JTE420]

Holy shit dude you are gifted!

[dwood8142]

Beautiful! Love the arrangement.

[SAMKS048]

Well done I say

[mdurandus]

[nafpez]

Beautiful -

[2010koisa]

outstanding

[2010koisa]

hei dude there in no words, perfect, cool, always Led Zeppelin, keep the Rock n Roll rolling forever

[Ramsefall]

Certainly no slacker behind those six strings.

[Sauron012]

I have never said this before on any cover of any Led Zeppelin song.. but wow. That was at the standard of Page himself.

[MegaMuzoman]

amazing guitarist and that guitar just sounds phenomenal great cover

[GuitarDudeXXX]

Excellent! I just learned it via the tabs in an APR '11 issue of Guitar World mag. I visually noticed a couple of differences in the chord voicings. YOURS looked and sounded more like what Pagey plays. Learning/playing the song occupied the last 3 hours of my night last night, and now here I am...I just woke up up and and I'm at it again first thing. I was very close to mastering it. I'll get it.

Again....excellent rendition my friend.

[SuperRepster]

MONKEY BALLS

[otoriish]

outstanding sir,beautifully played.

[marciofermino2003]

Muito bom,

I type From Brazil

please add contact skype marciofermino

[abouTimelord]

got it!

[cyberjet123]

Very nice. You've truly captured the emotion of the song. I imagine a soft rain falling through the trees.

[xXxHaylieMxXx]

Absolutely perfecto.

[TheAgentAssassin]

speechless

[tedplaysguitar]

I believe for for live on the double neck the tuning on the 6-string neck was Asus4 (E-A-D-A-D-E) - a step higher than the album cut, a nice rich modal sound.

[smOfficialMusic]

@tedplaysguitar no actually for the 1973 live the 6 string was tuned to E-A-E-A-B-e and the 12 string was tuned to standard for "The Song Remains The Same."

[motocross5678]

just...amazing...

[darthfocus]

There is no scientific evidence that this performance actually exists.

[przemlem]

I'm speechless. Absolutely awaseome!

[jdurgam13]

like a boss! nice job!

[JohnnyRunge]

What a masterpiece. I thought I played that song well!!!! You Rock

[Jmhr19]

[DevaXfish]

goooooooooooodd

[Q2K2008]

You are one talented player. You've inspired me to re-learn this and add the bass part to it. I'm sure my boyfriend will be blown away when I play the whole thing.

You know what you should look into?

Opeth. You'd play their acoustic stuff perfectly.

[pixiewings1]

4078 people know a great musician when they hear one....42 people are so jealous of you they burn! haha

Great music, Tony.

pixie :)

[cnilpas]

Sublime. Your spider monkey fingers are working some kind of voodoo on that fretboard. Jimmy Page would be powerless but to sit back and applaud.

[josnqn]

Thanks for emotions

[691High]

Blew my head off!! I didn't realize how much I love and miss this tune.....God speed to you my friend.....thank you

[sharkboy1800]

This melts in you ear ..like a square of fine chocolate.

And it descends..on your soul, like a petal to the floor.

Truly.... magnificent.

Gracias.

[TheJohnnybip]

@sharkboy1800 magnificent indeed, but after the melting don't forget to wash your ear ;) (and hit "play again")

[37zeus37]
