How to play The Rain Song by Led Zeppelin 

Masterful.. there have always been parts I wasn’t 100% happy with but you’ve nailed it..

One of the most beautiful songs ever composed. Led Zeppelin was so much more than a “rock band”

Watching this tutorial made me realize what a masterful composition the song is.

God Sped, you're that all-too-rare mix of extraordinary player and exceptional teacher. This is bloody brilliant. Your pacing is sublime.

Been learning and playing over 50 years...You BY FAR are the best teacher on video I've ever seen!! Cheers....

I have always loved this song never realized how complicated it is to play truly a masterpiece by Mr Page and the man himself gave you his approval Cant ask for more than that !! Great Job Man !!!!

great job dude.

Really really good lesson. Man, Page was a master at composition. Such a great song.

Oh man, seriously... this is one of the best class I’ve ever seen. Thank you for your beautiful work. Jimmy is certanly proud.

Superb! The perfect tutorial thanks for sharing man!! Jimmy Page was so advanced and ahead of his time a truly great songwriter and player, full of emotion, awesome 🤘

Sped this had it all! The conversation with Jimmy, Gandalf, crazy funny faces and of course a beautiful tune you shared with us all. Makes me proud to be a supporter for this channel, and a dedicated learner of what stardust you sprinkle around us! This should keep me well busy for a bit! Thank you.

I've been a Zeppelin fan since '78 (I was 10) and this is one of my favorites. IMO it's one of the most beautiful songs ever written. This video was a YT suggestion and one of the best I've seen in a long time. Great playing, instruction, and tone. You have a new subscriber my friend. : )

Best guitar lesson of the rain song, and there are plenty on the web. If you are ever in Boston, MA, will buy you a pint!

Can’t wait to start learning this tomorrow morning!! Jimmy Pages brilliance is on full display with this amazing song. Thank you for the best instruction video I’ve ever encountered for this song.

Cannot thank you enough for creating this - I almost have it - just that last section is head melting! You play it with a lot of soul!

I absolutely agree. Your way is indeed the best way indeed. In fact, I've been playing along with your previous rain song vid for months now and my Strat is permanently in that funky tuning. Thanks so much!

This is where Jimmy turns from Rock Star into an ingeneous classical composer and still manages to keep It cool to a Rock & Roll audience,, such a brilliant piece of music ,, TY Brother,,,,Great Job!! 😎✌✝💕

Absolute genius! I love Jimmy because of all the little nuances

Absolutely outstanding! This is one of my favorite songs and in my opinion a masterpiece. Thank you for taking the time to teach it. Fantastic as always!

Great lesson!

Totally awesome, one of my favorite live songs of all time beautiful song can you play it masterfully. I’m just starting to learn guitar and this is always been one of the songs I want to learn may take a while but I’m gonna keep working on it thanks for all your videos

Amazing composition, very well explained. Love your tone.

I am so blown away by this I have watched it 3 times in the last 2 hours. Sped, you are a really good teacher dude.

Again, a Great! Lesson! Very well presented and laid out in a manner that simplifies the complex. Thank You Sir!

This was totally awesome. Such a lot of effort went into this. Great stuff again Sped

Out of all the tutorials for this song, this is my favorite. Thanks for the help.

Sped! Damn you! I've been avoiding this lesson for about a year. My fav Zep song on my fav Zep record. I've been playing it for years... wrongly, of course. I guess my lazy self wouldn't allow the challenge. I would like to thank you for what you do because it's so important... not kidding. Not only do you allow many of us mediocre guitarists the ability to be better, the amount of time you save everyone is incredible! I couldn't do this on my own. Not only that, but you expose the true talent and genius of someone like Mr. Page, who I have to admit, I've taken for granted the past two decades. Growing up with the music you just kind of expect it. You've given us new found appreciation, which is never a bad thing. Gawd Sped brother!

This is the best tutorial on this song. Thank you.

Absolutely enchanting song!

Incredible musician thankyou for sharing your talent!

Awesome! I can finally try learning to play this great song before I die. Wish me luck!

Absolute brilliance! Tremendous lesson well done you! 😊👏👏👏👏

Thank you Sped. Your patience while you teach is greatly loved, I really wanted this tuning and then there was Sir Spedding to the rescue.

Thank you for such a well put together and cohesive lesson sped. This and ten years gone give me such a mystical feeling. a lonesome yet hopeful feeling.

Keep doing it. Cheers 👍

Thank you.

You're very good at teaching. Not too slow but yet thoroughly explain it so as it all moved right along without a lot of unnecessary babble. Thank you so much.

Another brilliant video, it's going to be a big help for getting this tune into my head and out through the fingers. Loved the gags at the beginning and end, as always a perfect combination of entertainment and very effective teaching.

nice great lesson thanks.

Thank you so much! I love this song, I've been playing from book Tabs forever! Your way is perfect. I have heard a couple people play it this way but never went to open G. I've practicing with you and your video for about three days now and what fun, I like playing the way I learned it as to accompany too, what fun! Great!! thanks again for sharing the open G!!! Tom

Thank you very much for this, I've been playing this song for years now but your lessons are so good, I still watch them tbh. You should do Bron Yr Aur next, that is a beautiful acoustic piece with a unique tuning. Cheers.

That was incredible. Great job!! Best Zep tune ever.

Beautiful 🎉
