The Rain Song - Led Zeppelin Guitar Cover

The Rain Song (Jimmy Page, Robert Plant)
This was a personal project and my goal was to record a Led Zeppelin song with only one acoustic guitar and no layered guitar tracks. It was more complicated and took longer than what I had expected, but I loved putting it together.

As long as there are gifted musicians and singers, these beautiful songs from Zeppelin will always be part of our lives to give us JOY.

My lord, the strings are just exquisite

[@juda8054]

Just love when the string section comes in. Truly one of zeppelins best! Thanks for covering it so beautifully.

[@stefanocalvano4428]

wow ho 67 anni. Ascoltandovi mi avete portato indietro di 50 years fantastik

[@jesusmontano1007]

Wow! This is my favorite song of Led Zeppelin. This is the best cover I've ever heard. You guys are terrific! Congratulations for such great performance.

[@timothymarquardt8496]

Wish I had five thumbs... all to the positive.

[@CavaleiroAmaldicoado]

I`ve been practicing this song for a couple of months now on the acoustic guitar, almost getting it all. This version made me cry with great emotion and joy. Music have such a power in connecting people. Congratulations to Andy and all the players.

[@daveskolnick9643]

Tears! No words. Only wish you could have played this for them at the Kennedy Center that magical night!

[@kimberlybaldwinwhitmire6602]

As others have said, this is the BEST cover of this song, hands down! Your vocalist is amazing and somehow manages to make this her own. The string section made this song even better. The guitar part is sublimely rendered. Just gorgeous! Thank you SO much for giving us this gift.

[@johnjones5220]

When the violin came in I literally applauded IRL, WHAT A GREAT COVER!!!

[@gavinnn7762]

When the violin came it gave me goose bumps idk why it just reminded me of listening to it

[@spauchi5860]

Same with me..... Both comments....:-)

[@olimon63]

Yep, the string section is outstanding. As a matter of fact, the original version is not recorded with actual string instruments, but with a mellotron. Real violin and cello gets a much better result!!

[@digitaltake]

@@olimon63 When I first planned this project, I hadn't realized that real strings weren't being used - then it made me appreciate the wonderfully subtle and important contributions made by Jones.

[@flightnavigator8999]

Same here i was shocked, if that’s all these 3 ever do they left out a legacy!!!!

[@mikael6446]

Beautiful voice and beautiful cover of this beautiful song...

Bravo 👏👏👏 Oh so good 👍🏻

[@rickrandall3174]

Beautiful blending of guitar, violin, and cello ! Excellent performance of a complex song. I love this version!

[@brentgilbert4208]

I don't know if anyone else has said this, but I preferred this version to the Zeppelin song! WELL DONE!!!

[@timothyburkhart185]

Bravo...!!!! nice cover of a incredible beautiful song...

[@davidpiikkila5235]

Are you absolutely kidding me!!! This is amazing, every artist a master at their craft! Wonderful

[@ChornyiKot]

This is truly a beautiful rendition of one of my most favorite Zeppelin songs. 18 months later and no follow up? It's time to get the band together and cut another video! I don't think I'm the only fan waiting for another cut from the band. Either way, thanks for nearly 8 minutes of joy. 🤠

[@digitaltake]

Your comment is too funny - yes, we’ve got to get going on another.

[@milesnagopaleen]

Well done! I loved this. Great vocal - sultry and jazzy.

[@sonoffantm]

No other song immediately takes me back to my teenage years 50 years ago than this tune. Everybody involved in this project gave a superlative performance. Didn't miss a trick. Special 👏👏 to the sound engineer...

Really great version. The fem voice gives the song a soft mattise that supports the delicate mood of this superb Zepp's song.

[@Metalhead4EVR]

Wow 😳 their version on The Rain Song brought me to tears. Nicely done people. 😊

[@frankieg7575]

I'll bet you anything LZ would appreciate this. Awesome emotive experience of a very favourite of mine and of many. Brought a tear to my eye.

[@MrTiezomod]

Nice voice, Nice guitar, Nice all

[@EricCirca]

WOW!!! What an absolutely beautiful rendition of this song!!! Having real strings rather than a synthesizer emulating a string section makes the song more "organic." Just absolutely beautiful!!! Thanks for all the effort to make this video. It is something to be proud of and I think that Jimmy and John Paul would approve.

[@digitaltake]

I love having actual string instruments.

[@DjCjFoto]

very, very good

[@billthomas8994]

Wonderful to hear a classic covered so skillfully and recorded so superbly

[@AdDeRidder]

Wow! Most of these performances are a dude in his living room and a USB microphone. You guys are really good. The recording and mixing guy is the hidden hero - the levels are so well balanced and the EQ brings out the deeper rich tones from the performances, especially the vocals, a little reverb - quite the opposite of the original, but it fits the song well. Really enjoyed this. Thanks for the work put in.

[@LucasRuge]

Bloody brilliant. Fantastic cover of a near perfect song.

[@johnjones5220]

Everything about this cover is amazing, its such a flawless, high effort rendition of the original. It's inspiring in the most literal sense, it makes me think "shit, I should blow the dust off of my guitars and find some people to play with" !!!

[@johnjones5220]

Fucking A, 10/10

[@digitaltake]

Too funny - that's exactly what I thought "dust off my guitar and find some people to play with...". I'm back playing on a regular basis now and I couldn't be happier with the project. I'd recommend starting with a shorter and perhaps easier song, but anything that gets you playing is what matters. I hope you get the dust off and thanks for the nice comment.

[@johnjones5220]

@@digitaltake Thanks man, I just bought a new guitar tuner (old one was fucked). I can actually play thissong on guitar! Once my tuner comes in I'm gonna drop my acoustic down to whatever weird and wonderful tuning this song is in and play it by myself.
