This should be viral. People need to appreciate how hard this song is to play let alone sing along to at the same time. Brilliant mate

@@newtonbhatta7769 this is maybe not the best song for a beginner to learn. Maybe start by learning some basic Travis picking. Then, if you’re feeling ambitious: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oYaXpaqTc6-so84.html

Completely agree

I like the thinking behind this, waking up in the morning, "What should I do today? Well, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones aren't here, so maybe I should sit down in front of a camera and play all their parts at the same time." Excellent thought, in the right hands.👍😎🙋

This is one of those rare and exceptional times when the song, the voice, and the instrument have meshed together in near perfect harmonious frequencies. It is pure pleasure to watch and listen to this fantastic version of Going to California.

Yeah, I’m listening in 2020. I find this master piece absolutely fantastic. Excellent job my friend. ✨👍

2023 here.. and I will be back in 2024 😅

I was in high school when LZ released this, and learned how to play it then. Been watching covers of this for a long time. This is the best I’ve heard. This guy is the real deal.

Its perfect. And his

Hard to stop replaying this! Wow! What a wonderful combination of voice and guitar.

best cover of this song ever - hands down

This guy can play anything, perfectly. So good!

Fantastic version of the song. Thanks

Thank you Christopher. You may not own the song, but you **owned** it. One of the best covers I have ever heard.

Best cover of going to California

Fantastic, really excellent all the way around.

I love song, great rendition!❤

Hard to find anything at all wrong with this personalized version. An amazing performance in my eyes.......uh, ears actually. I was totally immersed in the raw harmonious marriage of his ringing guitar prowess and vocal dynamics. I guess the 44 closed minded “experts” are unhappy that it doesn’t sound exactly the same as Zepp’s version?

Stunning cover even in 2022. Great job !!

Well done. Made my sunday.

WTF - sooooo cool - looks so easy but... nice playing - nice voice - good performance

I always knew "Going to California" had untapped potential. No Led Zep versions quite got me there, but this DOES.

Christopher, your own voicings and interpretations made this experience interesting and an unexpected joy for all. Thanks for all your hard work.

The best cover ever...made it your own

And two years later, coming back. This is beautiful. Thank you.

Excellent cover. Impressive travis picking.

Your playing, your tone, your voice, all great. Well done Sir.

Brilliant arrangement

I listen to this cover everyday on my headphones in my line up of favorites…….and it never gets old!! He’s that good! Thank you, Christopher, your an amazing artist and I tip my hat to you,sir.🎩🎸🎧🤙🏽

Dude this was excellent. I hardly ever listen to these things all the way through. I stuck around for this one. One of the best covers Ive heard. Very smooth. Keep it up...bravo.

That was beautiful man. I love that drop D sound so much. You make it quite soulful too. Please keep making acoustic guitar music, the world needs it. May God bless you in every way to do so.

I have finally started to learn this piece of music legend and came across your interpretation of it. Beautiful! A wonderful uplifting gift to the ears that has given me, thank you.

Going in thinking it was a guitar only cover of one of my favorite songs. Blown away, great job man!

Beautiful lead in, I don't recall ever hearing that before... excellent cover, you have the voice and the magic fingers, amazing articulation... understand every syllable.

Love your playing!!...and the icing on the cake is your voice!!!

Checking in April 2, 2022 and this still remains one of the best covers. The drift to silence in the end had me wanting more. Great work

Crisp, clear, accurate and full of skill. Time spent in concentration and learning is time well spent my Brother. Fantastic and pure.

This has to be by far the best I’ve ever heard. You are an amazing storyteller my friend.

Your version is masterfully executed and your voice is causes an emotional ripple............absolute perfection!!!!

Very impressive. I was a bit sceptical when I clicked, but so glad I did. My favourite Zep song. Always loved the line "trying to find a woman that's never never been born"

I'm also listening in 2020 and I concur, this is an absolutely brilliant rendition of this song. Cheers brother!

This is absolutely incredible talent. Amazing arrangement. Well done.

Well done! Beautiful!

linda versão, ela tem alma! vou pôr no meu repertório..

Simply beautiful!

I like very much - very relaxed. I'm an acoustic Zeppelin geek and I'm enjoying this.

I’m in a rock band and im from Nashville and I love this song as a country song

Wow this is the first song I wanna play when I learn guitar

It's pretty hard (trust me I've been playing for about a year non-stop and I still struggle) so I would ease into it. Whole Lotta Love is a good beginning song.

Beautiful! guitar skills .... tick, vocal skills... tick... sublime rendition ...

What a great job on this classic song ! Loved it!

Bravo ! You are in my phone now, and i listen to you quiet everyday 🎉😊

Not sure how many takes it took to nail this, but it's a thing of beauty. Perfect picking & slides. Oh, and the vocals are pitch perfect too with great choices for vocal fills. As a fellow musician well done sir!

Totally Awesome! Well done! Amazing Talent/Gift!
