Very nice lesson of one of Zeppelin’s best! Hard say that each album had its own vibe, bust most certainly Zepp from acoustic to the heaviest Heavy well done Brother!🎸👏

Thank you, very much!!!

Live version instead of tuning down he tunes the G up to an A and B up to D and leaves everything else, Phil Campbell from Motorhead explained this to me when I was lucky enough to meet and chat about Zepellin, he said they were jamming and when he asked to play rain song and was about to tune down Jimmy Page said no do it this way instead, makes sense as SRTS version is a whole step up from recorded version

Thank you for watching & thanks for that info!! 👍

This lesson is daunting to me with an open tuning and what I think is a complex rhythm. Is the rhythm in fact complex? By the way, the song sounds fantastic!

Thank you, as always for your kind words!! 🙂 It's not overly complex. All of the shapes & chord progressions are relatively simple. The trick is in the tuning. Once you've memorized the main parts, they are simply repeated throughout the song. Thank you for your support!!
