The Rain Song - Led Zeppelin

[SMOKINGMAN1961]

I just recorded a more mellow version (if thats possible..lol) If you wouldn't mind, give it a listen. It's a little shorter than the original because without the vocals it gets a little monotonous.

[pogofig]

Beautiful. You've won me over.

[rasta1982]

Glad I could be of service

[uriahheep2112]

the dancing wasnt nesecary and the ear thing but nice job

[rasta1982]

lol. I know. Funny, I'm playing this song at a wedding on the beach tomorrow.

[Trendmunger]

Yes, you did it very well! You play so good! Seems that I could learn by your video the way it was ment to be. Although the visualisation and sound aren´t the best, it seems that you catched a very close-to-the-original-sound. I like it that you aren´t too hectic.

[rasta1982]

ThanX a bunch. This is my favorite Zep song. Page is alone at the top in my book. Yeah, $20 webcams from eBay aren't the best but i'm too lazy to redo most of my older stuff. Maybe I'll redo this w vocals? I can;t hit the chorus though... MY JEANS AREN'T TIGHT ENOUGHT! Ha! Well, come check some of my newer vids please.

[Zboots]

Oh man, how you only have 3 stars is beyond me - I would give you all the stars in the night sky. I didn't look at the video as I was reading the responses but I sometimes felt I was listening to TSRTS DVD. That is worth at least 5 stars my man!

[rasta1982]

That really made my day. Have you checked any of the footage from the London show? My heart... was... pounding. If only...

[1L0V3C1IT]

here mate keep them on, you got me thinking you were Cho Seung Hui, nice rendition

[rasta1982]

I gots to keep em on, I'm blinder than shit!

My good friend in college, I met his dad once. He can't go back to Ireland for his activities in his youth. Really good people.

[xMarine66]

Nice glasses dude.

[rasta1982]

I keep having dreams they break and then I'm focked. The sad part is that this is my third pair!

[iamblase]

hey there! not bad.

I read somewhere that you just moved to the Philippines. Hahaha. Wala lang. Kamusta naman?

[rasta1982]

I tried and failed... Went for a wedding and it was just too hectic with everything going on. So now I'm back in the Cali living at home trying to catch up! Want to go ack and visit on my own next time.

(And my mom never taught me Tagolog... Shame on her!)

[ledroach]

can u help me with the tuning? i really want to learn this song and ive been trying to learn the tuning. i snapped a string today.

[Zeplike73]

hey no problem, i found the best tunning for this song is D G C G C D from low to high

[ledroach]

thanks

[soletac]

great !!! good job XD

[jousefoloser]

Is that a classic Les Paul?

Pretty cool man.

[rasta1982]

It is... It's my one and only. The manager of a Guitar Center walked in, took one look, shook his head, and crossed out the price and wrote: $999. Have had it ever since through thick, thicker, and thickest... You thought I was gonna say thin.

[rastalos2]

Kick ass Xman!!! Are you in dgdgbd?

[rasta1982]

ThanX Los... The is D-G-C-G-C-D

Been jamming with some friends... Possible new band. We picture 24-32 year olds running around the mosh pit reliving glory days.

[carefulwiththat]

I actually liked it, very nice. Keep at it!

[zqltiiczql]

put a mic into the Forsterker(norwegian word) And film it closer = better quality.. just a tip^^

[rasta1982]

Bought a new camera w better mic and better vid quality. ThanX for the help and enjoy some of my other vids.

[allcoholic]

your shit get lessons.

[rasta1982]

Can't please em all... Maybe some of my other vids can prove your theory right or wrong?

[Schmann213]

Dude i wish i could get parts of this song down like you do, ive seen a good number of vids you've put up, and enjoy them, i was wondering where the part at around 4 minutes came from cause its fucking sweet.

[rasta1982]

Are you talking about that little descending fill in the chorus? Just messing around a bit... ThanX for checking out the other vids. I just moved to the Philippines 2 days ago so I need to buy a guitar so I can start working on my album some more and get some new vids up! Crazy... Just crazy.

[Schmann213]

You should definitely do a vid of Black Dog When you get set up again, but thats tight your making your own album. look forward to checking it out.

[nikobiro]

stop showin' off, watch your timing, and "chorus" sound sucks, apart from this, well done mate

[rasta1982]

Not showin' off... Just in a hurry b/c I was running out of light as this took quite a few takes. I agree, the chorus does suck b/c my webcam cost only $20 on ebay. But thanks for pointing out those inconstancies. Hope you can enjoy some of my other vids help with the constructive criticism.

[nikobiro]

didn't mean to sound looking down on u...you are probably quiet gifted i was just pointing at the fact ur playing doesn't need any of all this act, plus i had timing problems and since i worked on it i did enjoy my playing better as well as listeners...

[rasta1982]

Oh, none taken! I have a better version of this song but unfortunately it's above 100mb... I hate when that happens! I've just moved to the Philippines so I need to buy a guitar and get to work on my album and put up some new vids.

[LesPaulGothic]

Gibson LP rules !!!

[rasta1982]

It's a 1960 Gibson Les Paul Classic Reissue. The manager walked into the store, took one look at the price, crossed it out and wrote $999. Have had this guitar since 10th grade or so... Luckily my dad is a strat man. SUCKER!

[columbo1964]

That's great , love the guitar aswell and will check out more of your stuff, all the best to you .

[columbo1964]

Great stuff always loved that song , it was good to see you play it all the way through aswell, even after a little mishap, many thanks got into that.

[rasta1982]

Yeah... Sometimes a song will take me 5 takes, sometimes a 100! I try to cram these in after work and the rest of my life, so sometimes it's just a matter of picking the lesser of the evils. But hey, the cam was $20 on eBay and I'm at 66k hits. Hopefully you'll find some of my other song selections pleasing as well...

[LeddZepp328]

Awsome guitar and very nicely done!!

[rasta1982]

Why thanX. I lucked out on the guitar. Was messing up in school and my dad bought it and said graduate and it's yours. I've had it ever since. I say Page over Hendrix and Clapton any day, but I ain't one to talk so you didn't hear it from me!

[vernhalen]

I remember learning this about 16 years ago...right in the middle of learning it my mom called to tell me one of my brothers had just died...it took me a couple months but I did get back to learning it and felt it helped in the healing process.... nice work

[rasta1982]

ThanX for sharing your thoughts with me. To tell me about that moment in conjunction with this song makes me feel good. Glad you were able to find my vid. Hope you can enjoy some of my other attempts.

[ztbsk8er]

Nice Job

[cheveuxman]

Would you be able to play and sing Led Zep's Black Dog ? would be a great cover !!

[rasta1982]

Up until the solo and then I would do a great disservice to that song. Ha!

[KrisShred]

I love this song by LedZep. Well done =)

[hapri]

Really nice played. Good Job.

[E6type]

Good job man.

[flarkey]

i like your "in the flesh" too!!! and pinball wizzard! good taste in music man!!!

[rasta1982]

ThanX! Just trying to catch people by surprise, ya know? It's been hard though as of late... I need Daylight Savings! By the time I get off work I only have 1.5hrs before it's dark and I'm not too partial to the warm colors of lightbulbs.

[flarkey]

i'm sitting here trying to work it out on guitar! i know its in a weird tuning but i've almost got it on standard tuning (in A maj).

[rasta1982]

You could (That's how I learned it at first using tab) but the chord structures in the standard are so ackward... D-G-C-G-C-D makes it so much easier. Plus, the open tuning lets the notes ring out more.

[flarkey]

beautiful song, played beautifully.

[rasta1982]

ThanX. It's my all time favorite Zeppelin song. Really shows the masterful songwriting of Jimmy Page. He is alone at the top of my guitar heroes list. Check my other vids... I have one for "That's the Way" too.

[spitfire9]

its my fav too =]
