A slightly jazzified version of the Led Zeppelin classic "Rain Song." This has always been my favorite Zeppelin tune and I rarely hear it played.

Oh come on! Who in the world would dislike this?! Great job Rob, as usual!

@djsmore Thank you so much!

This is one of those types of songs that must be "PLAYED FROM THE HEART" as they say, to make it sound good. I don't believe it's so critical to play it exactly the correct way. It's more about putting your own variations in the tempo, the attack, and etc. to put your own 'FEEL' into it. Yours is unique but sounds great. I also have my own way of playing this song but haven't been brave enough yet to post it for fear of getting comments about how I'm not playing it right!

@sparkimoto Truth be told, I've been waiting for the 'Zeppelin Police' to come down on me since the day I uploaded this. They're late. ;-)

@righthandson13 I'm aware of Jimmy Page's tuning on the record. I chose to play standard.

One of my favorite Zep tunes. You did it proud.

@grandr0yal Thanks a lot. This video is a short excerpt, it gets quite a bit different later in the tune. Check the link in the show notes and help not only yourself to some tunes, but please share with someone else who might dig it.

@AtmosMusic Don't worry, most of us when we click this we are not looking for a replica of jimmy page playing jimmy page. I came here to see how YOU do it and it was fantastic, thanks.

Ok I have to say something....and it sounds awesome how youre playing out all the parts but... Youre not playing it the right way! It's an alternate tuning and your fingering is way off! It's "D G C G C D". maybe one day someone will put up the right tuning for the music and how to play it...
