The fact that this song easily stands on just the guitar part alone is a testament to the genius of Jimmy Page.

Those are powerful words. However, I concur with your emotions. When I was a young teenager and heard it for the first time it touched my soul in a way I cannot describe. I listen to it often to go back in time to that moment. I can almost be in that exact time and place. There are other songs that can do this but not like this one. Beautiful cover by the way...thank you.

As a veteran with "issues" this song/video is one I can watch that helps block everything out for 4 minutes and 48 seconds. It's one of my go to videos for some peace sometimes. Thank you. I appreciate you 👍

And I bet you found its a lot easier to play than you imagined it would be. The key is getting the somewhat alternate tuning set.

Musicians truly amaze me. How does someone come up with a melody like this, then sit down and find a way to bring it to life on a guitar. He has even changed the tuning on the instrument to suit the sound/tone in his head! I'm gobsmacked at the talent involved. It's interesting to note that most of the strumming is done with upstrokes.

Well done indeed sir. This, for me, is Page's masterpiece.

Pagey's stunning alternate tuning work is perfectly accompanied by JPJ's bass lines and strings arrangement on the mellotron, Plant's lyrics and vocals, and even Bonzo's brush work all equally make this song unique and memorable. IMO, Ten Years Gone is truly Page's masterpiece.

Totally agree. Page was multi textured guitarist with skills on almost all areas of the guitar.Rain song, Black Mountain Side and A few other Number BronYaur-a-Stomp show his taste for folk, but i always found Rain song quite a Jazz guitar influenced number with so many chords found in jazz ballads. I think a guitarist called Bert Jansch was Page's hero in terms of folk guitar
