Led Zeppelin - «The Rain Song» on steel guitar (Main theme)

The Rain Song is a true masterpiece. Out of respect I was almost afraid to go near it, but here we are. 🙂Quite a lot of legwork on this one!

You have to finish this. You really have to. It's wonderful and needs the rest of the sound tracks: It'll be a work of art.

[@ramblinrogers]

Thank you! Yep, I've reached the conclusion that I'm going to have a swing at recording the full song. Out of respect for the original, I would like to do it justice, so it'll probably be a while!

[@SimonSezSo]

One of Jimmy's best compositions, I think. Well played.

I am a die-hard Beatles fan, true and true. But this song (Live: Song Remains the Same) is the greatest song of all time in rock 'n roll. Just wish this piece played out to its completion.

[@rustyshackleford509]

​@@ramblinrogershe would like it. You played the perfect amount to add to the song without taking anything away.

You're right. It is a masterpiece and you did it justice with your pedal steel.

[@blooeagle5118]

I need a full version of this right away, this is beautiful

[@61stratman]

Well suited song for pedal steel guitar. Why didn’t anyone do this before…👍

[@jevinday]

Not as many people play lap guitar like this because they're so expensive. But I agree with you, it's perfect!

[@bradsmith7311]

Exactly

[@jevinday]

That was wonderful. Steel guitar done right sounds just magical

[@mp4-27d3]

That was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard. I agree with all the other commenters that said you need to finish the song.

I've seen countless covers and rearrangements of great songs. This one really stands out. I hope to hear the complete version in the near future. Well done.

[@juscallmegrumpy2395]

Absolutely beautiful. One of my favorite tunes. I played for so many years with some Great Steel Players, and this is the first time I've heard this one pulled off. Great job. I miss you Royce Tarver. You were my buddy, my musical friend, and a guy I trusted on stage. See you again someday and we'll do it again in glory.

[@ramblinrogers]

Thank you. What a beautiful tribute to your friend! Musicians playing on stage together sometimes form strong bonds that lasts a lifetime.

[@jamiemay6065]

[@Mozart2Muse]

I have long been a proponent of more fully incorporating the pedal steel guitar into other genres, especially rock 'n' roll. Your selection of The Rain Song makes the case - this is the potential that I have been "hearing" for years. I agree with other commenters that you might want to work up the whole piece. Do this and you just might start a movement. Played with sensitivity, soul, and respect - Great job!!!

[@ramblinrogers]

Thanks so very much! Playing the steel while exploring genres, other than the "obvious" one is probably my favorite thing to do. A steel guitar is a highly versatile instrument, and I like to try and show people that. Exploring is great practice because it tends to keep me "sharp", and I regularly end up finding something I hadn't thought of before. I practice a LOT to country music as well, of course, because I always loved the genre. But I think it's also possible to move into more unfamiliar territory and see what I find.

[@Highcastle_of_Geek]

So good! This suits the song perfectly. I’d love to hear the complete version if you’re so inclined someday…

Beautifully done. Captures the essence, but simultaneously creates a new, different mood. If RP saw this, he'd probably want to put it back in his set!

[@ramblinrogers]

Thanks ever so much! I didn't think this little clip would be this popular. I'm very grateful for that. This is just what I've been enjoying lately; to try and figure out ways to play something on the steel that isn't country (I love country though!) - as a way of learning new things and just have some good old fun. I get many requests to do the full song these days, so I'm going to attempt that. That is if I feel I can give the original song the reverence it deserves!
