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 !!!!
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. : )
Wow, that’s so cool. They’ve been with you for life. Thanks for the compliment, that’s a big statement and keeps me inspired to keep creating. Thanks for hitting the subscribe button too. 🎉🤘🏻
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!! 😎✌✝💕
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 🤘
Perfect description, a brilliant musical brain. He could create any mood with a guitar and transport you to infinite dimensions of fuzz infused awesomeness. 😂🙌🏻
I've seen a lot of crazy tunings for this song, but this is the one my own teacher years ago showed me and it's tonally correct. Thank you for this lesson, thoughtfully done as well.
That’s really cool Doug! Thanks for the comment. Yeah, someone was giving me a load of abuse because I said in the introduction that “we are learning it my way because my way is the best way.” 😂 I was only joking because I’m pretty sure 99% of what I’m doing is how Jimmy played it live. That’s also why I tossed my pick at the end, littleEaster egg for the Zeppelin addicts out there! Wish people weren’t so angry. ❤️
@@SpedSpedding So much debate and drama over how LZ did things. In your other video you point out rightly that they changed tape speeds, which they did a lot, which makes things sound very different. You keep doing what you're doing, you have a new subscriber because of it.
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.
So many have said the same, I totally agree. I wonder how he arrived at these incredible ideas. And there must be a point where you sit back and think “this is big.” Fascinating.
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.
Sped, this lesson (and all your Led Zeppelin lessons) are really just incredible... I'm a huge Jimmy Page fan and after scouring the web for lessons to play his music, I've found that you are the single very best source. Thanks so much and God bless you.
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
You know what, because a lot of it is open strings and arching your fingers over, there will be a lot of it that you can get down even if you’re just starting out. Go for it. Play what you love.
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!
I’ve heard/read that Jimmy is self-taught and cannot read music, which makes this composition and his career all the more remarkable…music is a gift, and he worked hard at his craft, obviously, this tutorial is fantastic, well done!
He was a session player early on and said "In the initial stages they just said, play what you want, cos at that time I couldn't read music or anything." But I strongly suspect that like many musicians he studied his craft to a great extent and even if not proficient at sight reading, he learned how after a while of being a session player. It's just not all that difficult to learn and is the language of music. Great tutorial by the way, an easy piece to play and quite beautiful.
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!
Easily my favorite new RUclips channel . Great to see you again Sped . We all miss ya at Gibson Les Paul Owners ! Cheers mate , keep cranking out the magnificent lessons you absolute legend !
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.
Love your lessons man, very informative and detailed .The camera angles are great so we can see what your fingers are doing , way better than that straight on angle a lot of the other RUclips channel's use . Just fyi I just finished the rhythm parts of your Black Dog video, you made it easy for me to learn, thank you Sped!!!!!
How cool is that, stoked that you got it down. I love chugging away on the rhythm parts in Black Dog more than the riffs. They make you feel like a badass. ✨ Glad you like the videos, thanks for the kind words.
I'm a vocalist but I always think about the writing too. I would enjoy for Jimmy to play the hundred ways that didnt work until he got it where he wanted. And the timing. Did he knock this out? Get stuck on a bit for a month? Did he start it, and years later the rest fell into place?
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!
Great lesson. I learned it by ear in standard tuning many, many years ago. When I learned Jimmy used an open tuning it made all the difference in the world. I've been playing it like this for 30+ years now, is there another way I'm unaware of? This is how Page plays it, although live I think he used a slightly different variation of the tuning.
Haha, yeah you're right. The opening was just my excuse to be a bossy wizard. And also a message to any potential trolls, if I claim I am teaching it my own way exact how can I ever be wrong?
I've played this song in a weird tune before too I think EADADE but I'd have to double check. This is definitely the right way Sped plays and he's incredible player and a character just like musicians should be 😁😎🤙
As good as this lesson is, its hard to believe that Page came up with all of this, which is where his genius was. Incredible lesson thank you Mr Gandalf.
This is such a relaxing lesson thanks will continue till I get it down in this jouny to play guitar we need the Rockstar and the Teacher to accomplish this journey and I'm glad we have you to guide us Thank you....Roland J Gutierrez from Magdalena New Mexico usa....
Sped! I'm coming off an alternate tuning frenzy of re-learning Friends and finally learning That's The Way, then this. It is absolutely surreal to hear The Rain Song chords coming out of my fingers. Thank you so much! It's another one my dad would be proud to hear me play.
That's so lovely to hear and I'm sure he would. Thanks for learning with me and for the extra support. Stoked to be bringing this song to life on the fretboard with you. 🤝🏻
Great lesson. You’ve allowed the students ears to interpret. Some lessons are filled with too much talking by the tutor. This is possibly the most enjoyable lesson for me in a very long long time ❤🙏
Thanks Sped. Great tutorial. I’ve loved this song for years and now I can play it thanks to you and a damn lot of work by me. May your beer be laid under an enchantment of surpassing excellence for seven years! Cheers
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. I dont want to sound corny, but having the confidence that I now know how to play this once impossible sounding song, has helped me out a great deal during a really tough time. Big fan. Keep doing it. Cheers 👍
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.
I was called sped many years ago in 4 th grade. But thats neither here nor there. Many thanks from A Zeppelin fan since 1974 . I have a 96 Les Paul thats been jonesing for Zeppelin songs to be played thru her. Thanks Again Mate!
Fantastic! I learned this years and years ago in standard tuning, but it always needed small compromises to make it work - so I"m looking forward to giving this a go in Gsus4 tuning.
@@SpedSpedding Just spent the last few hours on it. So I've taken your tuning, and your various fingerings, then I've got the sheet music out, and gone through it all, right up to the end where that outro comes in (haven't looked at that yet). Pretty much everything you've done lines up bloody well perfectly (I even went through the mental gymanstics of converting all of your notes to check against the sheet music, good fun!) You can definitely hit more of the musical elements with this tuning. So what I'm going to do next is learn your way, but also do an acoustic backing with standard tuning, and I'm going to have a go at recording an arrangement (will add strings as well). Thanks for the inspiration and thanks for a great vid!
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
You’re welcome Tom! Glad to hear that you’re having so much success with this version. I think it’s the best way to play it and make use of all those open strings. ❤️🔥
GREAT LESSON! I love how it is for people who already know how to play guitar. Now, if you could just show me why the hell I am doing what I am doing. This tuning is baffling.
wow ! I am impressed! The rain song is one of the most difficult songs I know of played on the guitar! I learned it differently maybe 45 years ago not even aware of a different tuning. but unfortunately I've quit for some time now due to arthritis in my fingers. Thanks for sharing
Oh my favourite zep tune is here😃 This realy is a musical masterpiece And i've loved it even more after watching your cover A good lesson was really needed since it has massive guitar work I'm sure yours is awsome as always sped Thanks a lot for all your work Keep the great lessons going
Great job my friend one of my favorites from Zeppelin. Your lessons are excellent easy to understand especially for us bass players who moonlight as guitarist lol. Best to you & Gabby.
I racked my brain trying to figure this out in standard tuning when I was a kid. Finally, I met a guy that had played it at a music festival and he told me how its done.
Totally with you on this. Baffles me when people watch, dislike and then complain about it. Do they just sit at home watching Channel 4 complaining for an hour how shit the program is? No you change the channel. 😂😂😂
I really like your tutorial because it gets right to the point and moves through the song swiftly. It's great for players who are more advanced and don't need a ton of instruction to get it. I wish I found you when I was learning it! I will have to check out your other videos!
Sped is the Best guitarist i ve heard in all My life he/s the Best instructor of all time he very sort of mellowwit With all his new guitars and the chances went as high as he is it /s a yoke he is the Best in all guitArs playersfrom From your listner Robert soza
Incredible, Sped. Would never have been able to decipher this from playback. So appreciate your gifted instruction. Any chance we could get you to add you playing the entire 'shortened' version' so we can play along with you once we've come close to mastering all the parts?
Jimmy Page learned this the proper way from Sped. That's why he played it so damned well. Now the rest of us can learn properly. Thank you .. this is so awesome I didn't even skip the Ads.
Really appreciate that, although if it’s one of those 15 minute masterclass Amazon seller courses feel free to move things long. Sick of seeing that guy myself. 😂😂😂
Hey Sped! It's really suitable this song for today, here it's raining all the time, I have perfected some parts , this is the best lesson of this song. this song shows once again, the great compositional ability of Jimmy Page
Yeah he’s brilliant. I hate hearing people talk down about his speed or precision. It’s like, use your ears, he transports you somewhere new every time. ✨ Master.

Masterful.. there have always been parts I wasn’t 100% happy with but you’ve nailed it..
From the man himself. Thank you Mr Page. 🙌🏻😂
LOL
@@SpedSpedding hey, james seems pretty happy with what ya did here...u can probably, maybe, call him jimmy ..maybe..
:
Jimmy that's one of your most incredible song 🙌🏼
holy shit... what? 🤯don't play with me like that
One of the most beautiful songs ever composed.
Led Zeppelin was so much more than a “rock band”
That they were. Nicely put.
I always played open G tuning! Thank you for sharing this!
Been learning and playing over 50 years...You BY FAR are the best teacher on video I've ever seen!! Cheers....
That’s huge Jeff! Thanks for choosing to learn with me as well as the immense compliment! 🤩❤️
God Sped, you're that all-too-rare mix of extraordinary player and exceptional teacher. This is bloody brilliant. Your pacing is sublime.
Wow, thanks! That really means a lot. 😍
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 !!!!
Oh man, seriously... this is one of the best class I’ve ever seen. Thank you for your beautiful work. Jimmy is certanly proud.
Thank you so much! I’m gonna have to try and reach out to him one day to appear on here for five minutes at least.
You’re welcome. ✨🙌🏻

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!
I'm chalking that one up, you got it!

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.
Ah Doug, that’s amazing. Thank you! It was really fun working this one out. Tried to keep it as close as possible. ☔️
Watching this tutorial made me realize what a masterful composition the song is.
So many have said the same, I totally agree. I wonder how he arrived at these incredible ideas. And there must be a point where you sit back and think “this is big.” Fascinating.
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!
Thank you! Haha yeah it is isn’t it. Shapes flying everywhere. You’re welcome!
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.
Ah wow, thanks so much. Absolutely love this comment. Keeps me doing what I do. ✨❤️
Absolute genius! I love Jimmy because of all the little nuances
It's an absolute masterclass, he knows it, we know it. Beautiful song.

Hey Alexander/Cartman! Thank you so much, I am a big fan too. He's in my playing style for sure. You're welcome, have fun learning.

Again, a Great! Lesson! Very well presented and laid out in a manner that simplifies the complex. Thank You Sir!
You’re absolutely welcome. What you said there is exactly what I want to do on RUclips. Have fun! 🍿
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!
Hey Michael! I agree, a total masterpiece and masterclass in rhythm playing. He’s a genius.
I’ve heard/read that Jimmy is self-taught and cannot read music, which makes this composition and his career all the more remarkable…music is a gift, and he worked hard at his craft, obviously, this tutorial is fantastic, well done!
He was a session player early on and said "In the initial stages they just said, play what you want, cos at that time I couldn't read music or anything."

Great tutorial by the way, an easy piece to play and quite beautiful.
He's an excellent sight reader, he was a highly sort after session musician back in the day.
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!
Let’s face it, we all need a guitar for every tuning there is. And when we run out of tunings, we will make more tunings and buy more guitars. 😂🙌🏻
I'm 51, have played LZ for more than 30 years, and still! You help me elevate my Page game. Well done!
Welcome to the penthouse! 🤝🏻😅
Easily my favorite new RUclips channel . Great to see you again Sped . We all miss ya at Gibson Les Paul Owners ! Cheers mate , keep cranking out the magnificent lessons you absolute legend !
Ha! No way, that’s cool. I actually got rid of Facebook years ago because it got real messy on there. That group was cool though. Thanks! 🔥
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.
That’s really cool Mike. Thank you for the compliment! 💪🏻
This was totally awesome. Such a lot of effort went into this. Great stuff again Sped
Thanks a lot! Glad you liked it. 💪🏻
Such a ridiculously, beautifully crafted tune. Good job Sped!
It is isn't it! And thank you.
Love your lessons man, very informative and detailed .The camera angles are great so we can see what your fingers are doing , way better than that straight on angle a lot of the other RUclips channel's use . Just fyi I just finished the rhythm parts of your Black Dog video, you made it easy for me to learn, thank you Sped!!!!!
How cool is that, stoked that you got it down. I love chugging away on the rhythm parts in Black Dog more than the riffs. They make you feel like a badass. ✨ Glad you like the videos, thanks for the kind words.
@@SpedSpedding Oh those riffs make you sound like a badass as well , If you wanna impress some one, kick out Kashmir or black dog riffs lol
I’ve often wondered how they must have felt writing this song. It has always made me feel refreshed emotionally whenever I hear it. A big favorite
The Rain Song will take my breath away for the rest of my life. It’s magnificent. ☔️
I'm a vocalist but I always think about the writing too. I would enjoy for Jimmy to play the hundred ways that didnt work until he got it where he wanted. And the timing. Did he knock this out? Get stuck on a bit for a month? Did he start it, and years later the rest fell into place?
Another fantastic tutorial, streamlined and accurate.
Thank you Randy! Really appreciate that.
Very well explained. Had no problems following your instructions. No unnecessary conversations. Very calm and soothing voice. Excellent. I thank you.
Wonderful to hear. Glad you liked it. Expect unnecessary conversations in the future though, maybe I was having a quiet day. 😂
Awesome! I can finally try learning to play this great song before I die. Wish me luck!
You will nail it. Wishing you all the luck! Have fun.
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.

Brilliant !!! What a song ! 😀 Love the way you teach
Thanks Steve, appreciate that. Have fun with the other videos too.
I gave up on this song until I saw your video. I’m a veteran with PTSD so learning is difficult but your approach has helped me. Thanks, brother.
Wonderful to hear my lesson has helped you learn a favourite of yours. Enjoy! 🤝🏻
Great lesson. You’ve allowed the students ears to interpret. Some lessons are filled with too much talking by the tutor. This is possibly the most enjoyable lesson for me in a very long long time ❤🙏
I've been playing this in standard tuning for 20-some-odd years. It looks so much easier in this open tuning. I'll have to give this a try.
I think a lot of people have. Let me know how you find it in comparison! 🙌🏻
You wont be disappointed. It just sounds more like recording too.
I tried standard tuning because i couldn't be bothered changing tunings
and there is no way to play it in standard tuning that sounds as good.
Jimmy page used standard tuning🤔
On song remains the same anyway
Awesome lesson. Tough song to learn, I have to keep replaying the video but I’ll get there. Great job teaching this song.
Yeah it is tricky. Once you’ve break it down into those manageable sections though; it’ll start to flow. Thanks!
Absolute brilliance! Tremendous lesson well done you! 😊👏👏👏👏
Thank you Steve! ☔️
I figured this song out like 20 years ago by watching Page play it live. I have totally forgotten it since, lol. Great Job!
Haha! I imagine that’s very very easy to do given how many different parts and chords there are. Hopefully this video helps you get it back?
Thanks Sped. Great tutorial. I’ve loved this song for years and now I can play it thanks to you and a damn lot of work by me. May your beer be laid under an enchantment of surpassing excellence for seven years! Cheers

this tutorial is so clear and organised ❤ thanks a lot for breaking all this down in a very easy way
You're so welcome! I just saw Robert Plant play this live for the first time in my life, special is an understatement.
Great lesson. Very concise. Love to see a Hagstrom being played. I actually practice / play this song on a 1967 Hagstrom II.
Thank you.
Wow, I bet that’s something? Is it red? 🤭✨
@@SpedSpedding No it’s blue. All original parts except for a few screws for the pick up switching.
@@steverush6960 Sounds like a beaut! My LP is basically now like a modded gun from a COD game. Haha.
Fantastic!! Thank you for showing me how to play this song I have admired for soooo many years!!
You're very welcome!
wow ! I am impressed! The rain song is one of the most difficult songs I know of played on the guitar! I learned it differently maybe 45 years ago not even aware of a different tuning. but unfortunately I've quit for some time now due to arthritis in my fingers. Thanks for sharing
Thanks! Sorry to hear about that. Do you not play at all anymore? Arthritis can be very severe I know.
Omg! You're amazing😀thank you so much. This is the best lesson on Rain song on the internet😀
Ah thank you so much. Big comment, love it. Have fun learning it. ❤️☔️
Such an underrated Zep song.
Please continue with Zeppelin tutorials. They are great. Maybe Trampled Under Foot next?
Oh my favourite zep tune is here😃
This realy is a musical masterpiece
And i've loved it even more after watching your cover
A good lesson was really needed since it has massive guitar work
I'm sure yours is awsome as always sped
Thanks a lot for all your work
Keep the great lessons going
It’s one of my favourites too. Fills me with nostalgia, taking me back to a time where I wasn’t even alive. 😂☔️
Takes me back to a time when there was no sorrows. Love this tune from the bottom of my heart . Thanks
Great job my friend one of my favorites from Zeppelin. Your lessons are excellent easy to understand especially for us bass players who moonlight as guitarist lol. Best to you & Gabby.
Haha, grazie Joe. Funny because I occasionally moonlight as a bass player too. 🌝
Gab says “ciaaaao.”
Tell Gab we said ciao🙂✌️
Much appreciated man you have a treasure trove of goodies to watch hope all is well man
Thank you! More coming later this week as well. 💪🏻
man... the outro is a whole another level of creativity
Amazing composition, very well explained. Love your tone.
This is one of the most important things I've ever seen, beautiful instruction.... Will be following you...
Thank you so much Frank! So kind, and I’m glad that my video brought you so much insight. Look forward to speaking more. ✨🙏🏻
Such a wonderfully written/composed song. My one and only tattoo is the "upon us all, a little rain must fall" line.
Great lesson too - bang on.
Ah that’s so cool. I don’t have any text tattoos. Gab does, I really like them. I have the sound wave from Ramble On chorus on my left arm though. 🙌🏻
One of my most emotional songs to listen to, thankyou
It stops you in your tracks doesn’t it? Rewinds time. ❤️
This video accompanied with Angela Pettreli’s tutorial make it seem too easy. Thank you for this, nice job!
My pleasure John! There's a cover of me playing this to go with the lesson too.
I racked my brain trying to figure this out in standard tuning when I was a kid. Finally, I met a guy that had played it at a music festival and he told me how its done.
I learned to play it in open G tuning. Never sounded right… so Gsus4 is it! Thank you!
This is the best tutorial on this song. Thank you.
Love! Respect bro, it's your version.... people need to chill with the critiques... it's free content that takes hours and hours to develop.
Totally with you on this. Baffles me when people watch, dislike and then complain about it. Do they just sit at home watching Channel 4 complaining for an hour how shit the program is? No you change the channel. 😂😂😂
Had most of it, was missing a few of the bass notes - great lesson. The writing Page did on this is just mind-blowing.
You're welcome, glad to fill in the missing sections! Yeah it's stunning isn't it. The man is a musical genius.
I really like your tutorial because it gets right to the point and moves through the song swiftly. It's great for players who are more advanced and don't need a ton of instruction to get it. I wish I found you when I was learning it! I will have to check out your other videos!
That’s great, thanks so much! Yeah there’s loads of full lessons with the same format as this. Have fun. 🙌🏻
Beautiful artistry in the guise of a lesson...you're getting the hang of this, mate.
Haha cheers Mica. 🎉
12:25 and 16:30 - Hybrid picking part, such a beautiful part that nobody plays. I've been looking for this, IDK why it took 2 years to pop up.
I thought I already knew the best channels in the universe….obviously I was wrong. Subbed!
This comment is huge, deserves a lot of love. Thank you! ❤️✨
You're the best out there with these lessons.
You legend, thank you!
What a fantastic job!!
Great teacher, fabulous skills,, thanks so much man!!
Sounds awesome!! Best version ever!
Best breakdown that I've seen. Well done!
Pleasure!
Sped is the Best guitarist i ve heard in all
My life he/s the Best instructor of all time he very sort of mellowwit
With all his new guitars and the chances went as high as he is it /s a yoke he is the Best in all guitArs playersfrom
From your listner Robert soza
Thanks so much Robert. Glad you like my stuff!
That thumbnail is so good hahaha. AND THAT COLOUR GRADE. Teach my your ways, slug.
Haha, thank you! I did wonder whether you'd seen it or not. Any excuse to use my lightsaber umbrella mate.
Thanks for this Sped! Really great how to lesson. Cheers from Oz mate
Incredible, Sped. Would never have been able to decipher this from playback. So appreciate your gifted instruction. Any chance we could get you to add you playing the entire 'shortened' version' so we can play along with you once we've come close to mastering all the parts?
Jimmy Page learned this the proper way from Sped. That's why he played it so damned well. Now the rest of us can learn properly. Thank you .. this is so awesome I didn't even skip the Ads.
Really appreciate that, although if it’s one of those 15 minute masterclass Amazon seller courses feel free to move things long. Sick of seeing that guy myself. 😂😂😂
Great , great lesson ... absolutely spot on .. best lesson ever done on this .. Jimmy would be proud of you ..
Thank you hometown! Loving the vibes. ✨
Hey Sped! It's really suitable this song for today, here it's raining all the time, I have perfected some parts , this is the best lesson of this song.
this song shows once again, the great compositional ability of Jimmy Page
Yeah he’s brilliant. I hate hearing people talk down about his speed or precision. It’s like, use your ears, he transports you somewhere new every time. ✨ Master.
