Learn how to play The Rain Song on guitar as performed by Led Zeppelin.
A beautiful guitar arrangement written and recorded in the alternate tuning of DGCGCD. Here I cover all sections of the song and provide you with the chord shapes Jimmy Page used to create this unique guitar arrangement.
Take your time with this one, even though the chord shapes themselves are not difficult at all, it's a challenge to unlearn the chords you are used to and to feel comfortable with these. Once you do, though, you will amaze your friends by playing this the way we all know it from the record.
Hope you enjoy.

Do people really gripe about Jimmy Page's alternate tuning?! It's the only way if they're REALLY Jimmy Page fans with a thirst for the intricacies of his playing right?? Boy I can hear it now. The more you figure out how to tune the strings properly on this instrument the better your ears become too This guy (who's name is unknown) doesn't want any attention whatsoever and teaches a ton of songs brilliantly. You are a great teacher 12 foot chain. And Talk Away too. It's the little things I want to keep learning about🎸thanks for this lesson! I'm on day 2 or 3. And it's amazing I was intimidated so I kept putting it off. Already past the first couple chapters. I'm hooked

This song was the one that got me back into playing after I had set it aside for a long time. It was a huge confidence builder.

@patrickcampion7966 Год назад

'and there was much rejoicing' cracked me up. Great lessons for fantastic songs, and a Monty Python reference? Gold, Jerry!

@colink4823 Год назад

The tuning is Gsus4. No I'm not that clever. I googled it! Great video

Great job 12...I was lucky enuff to see this live in 74 or75..same show as the movie a few days later in N.Y...I will never forget the very trebley sound he had ..it was so rich...Thanks again...Dave

I've yet to play a double-neck guitar. But, I love A-Z Led Zeppelin! No matter what song I always learn takes me more than a few practices just to get an intro down; thank you & I'll keep practicing.

Love this song! I generally play it on my 12 string as it just sounds so beautiful. Great lesson!

@kevinking2468 Год назад

As usual, you find the subtle differences that seem to make all the difference! Thanks for posting!!

@southpaw1959channel Год назад

Also, strangely...I had been looking for a particular music documentary this morning about Zappa and Capt. Beefheart among others called "From Straight To Bizzarre", and found it on trebleclef's channel who, coincidentally, had an acoustic version of The Rain Song's mid section I have borrowed for a few years..so had the song in my mind and two minutes later see your lesson...Weird, eh?

@hkguitar1984 Год назад

Thank You Doug, wish you'd have posted this 3 years ago.😉 It took me the better part of a week to figure out how to play this song! I did upload my attempt, I'm pretty sure watching your lesson will allow me to tighten up my cover of this song, Thank You.

Outtro to Rain Song is seriously the most beautiful chord progression ever written/recorded, imho.

I learned to play this song years ago, well worth retuning to learn this one, awesome tune !!

@davidsparks6146 Год назад

My solution for tuning guitars: Buy 50+ guitars and tune them to different tunings ...DUH! I actually love open tunings ...I wish when I was a wee lad, that someone would have explained this to me. Your channel is awesome! Thank you.

@Charleybones 3 месяца назад

Really enjoyed your tutorial. Very easy to follow, notes and chords seem right on, and you break up the song nicely in order to examine and teach each of the parts of the song. IMHO this is one of Jimmy's greatest songs - and he has written more than a few. Will check out more of your videos. Thanx

@kevinmalone8903 Год назад

@darrylmoore127 Год назад

I had a Gibson EDS 1275 bought it new in late 80s $ 1500. Cherry Had quite a collection But have been always a Bassist first I learned lead guitar and played lead in bands but nowhere as great as you. The alternate tuning is a must and why it is necessary to have more than one guitar , inaddition to other sounds from different pups . Guitar playing got cut short from disability but playing bass has changed for me with what M.S. did where now all I have to do is basically listen to the song. Sorry this is long I Think Your Teaching is EXCELLENT, DEFINITELY SHOWS HOW LONG YOU BEEN PLAYING , To Be Teaching All these Classic Rock Songs and to be incredibly accurate on them.

@12footchain Год назад

thank you for sharing and the kind words! Glad you enjoy.

@wooferdevlin3571 Год назад

And there was much rejoicing - yay!! Your gabbing is just enough to get ideas across anyway. This on 12 string would be a nightmare tuning, six string, not so bad. Standard shapes with different sounds happening, always a jolt, but the reward is putting it all together. Wayyy!!

@stratman9449 Год назад

i'm going to get to play this song...but not just yet today...but thanks for the lesson...cheers... and yes i've got a few guitars...so the tuning is NOT the issue.....😅

Hang on, let me get my double neck Gibson/Epiphone. 😁 Hopefully you have TWO wall hangers for that beast! Rock on! Always waiting on new vids!

@michaelstevens972 Месяц назад

Strange you remind me of someone i knew when i was a kid who played guitar 🎸 Always loved the guitar when i was kid too. Got one on my birthday from Toys R Us around age 7. I was too young though. My mother let me return it for a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Technodrone toy i wanted so bad also, but really wish i was more patient and kept it, because im 41 now and purchased a Les Paul like Jimmy Page's started 2 and half years ago, and ive got a everyday routine, n its my passion now. If ONLY I stuck with it at age 7! Everything for a reason i suppose. Anyways thanks again.

@12footchain Месяц назад

Never too late, stick with it now.

@nonawolf7495 8 месяцев назад

Thank you for this lesson - it's very well done. My 24" scale neck became very floppy when I tuned down. Anyone else have this problem? Perhaps I will try again with a larger scale guitar.

@leegunter5223 4 месяца назад

I have my Epiphone acoustic that stays in DGCGCD. Gives me an excuse for more guitars. My Gibson will stay in standard but have a cheaper LP ( Epiphone) in DADGAD and other tunings!

@davidevans3175 Год назад

In all my long years of playing (since 1969) not once have I ever had a problem tuning and re-tuning. I love different tunings. Is that really a thing for some people?

@batgas23 Год назад

If I remember correctly Page said in an interview years ago he used the tuning of EADADE (I think this was the tuning he used for the live TSRTS version). A lot quicker than tuning al 6 strings.

@12footchain Год назад

Could be. I guess it's the same tuning intervals, just a step higher. Chord shapes would all be the same

@stevef4010 15 дней назад

It's called open page tuning. Or so I have read.

Do you own those guitars?

@12footchain Год назад

Yes

Amazing collection

@CarlWinter-oy8uf 7 месяцев назад

Surely you need on screen TABS running to illustrate those chords that resemble each other --while you play --ie shape one and two as you suggest!___@!)10 : 05 ----?

@tacomaken15 3 месяца назад

The rain song was inspired by George Harrison from the Beatles! George complained Zeppelin had no ballads. The first 2 chords are from the Beatles song "Something". I find it strange to you yourself didn't bring this up being a Beatles fan! Before the song was released Harrison had first listened and was greatly approved. ❤

No doubt.

@mikelundquist4596 Год назад

If you are performing, retuning seems to take forever, especially for the audience. It's also rough on strings. And some guitars are more stable and handle tension changes better than others. The best thing, IMHO, is to have a guitar for every tuning.

@marcbolan1818 Год назад

@@mikelundquist4596 I get that, but I have been playing gigs for years when I had little money at the start and still had 2 guitars - one was a Tele typically in Open G ready and other in std. I get it - I have used C tuning and all the others, but if you are wanting to nail the sound - you gotta do it.

@SPRMarksman 7 месяцев назад

Your explanation of crucial parts is painfully lacking. The waterfall section for example is skimmed right over. Tell us what string and what frets!!!! Ffs.

@12footchain 7 месяцев назад

Sorry you feel that way. I had a chart up on that part that shows you where each note is, at 5:37

@SPRMarksman 7 месяцев назад

@@12footchain I see that, and it was helpful for most other parts. But trouble is, it goes by at lightning speed and has no other explanation or going over it more than that. I had to slow down to .25 speed to finally get it down. Appreciate your hard work, just trying to make your lessons more thorough for the future!

@12footchain 7 месяцев назад

@SPRMarksman all good, thx
