I probably teach this song to a new student once a week, and I NEVER get tired of playing it. There are very few songs cooler than “Rumble”. If you’ve seen “It Might Get Loud”, you may remember the scene where Jimmy Page gets incredibly giddy just listening to it. That scene just makes me love it even more. If Jimmy Page is reduced to a giggling school boy upon listening to it, you should be too.
It’s a really simple song. It’s basically a 12 bar blues in E, except you play a couple D chords every couple bars. Once you get to the turnaround, you just play a simple descending E minor pentatonic scale.
Piece o’cake.
