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.
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.
Yes indeed it is. Came across it just now myself. A mere two hours after you. Don't know why I decided to explore covers of this most excellent song at the moment, but I'm so glad I did, or I might have missed THIS one forever!
This is sick!!! I'm 62 years old.That's the best cover.I've ever seen in my life... I've heard bands do This song but I never seen Anybody Play it and sing it at the same time
Came across this particular cover just now. Don't know why I decided to explore covers of this most excellent song at the moment, but I'm so glad I did, or I might have missed THIS one forever! A very well crafted and performed rendition sir!
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.🎩🎸🎧🤙🏽
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?
Wowwww!!!!!! Absolutely Beautiful my Freind!!!!! Just Amazingly composed and Wellllllllll Done!!!! Hope you are Chasing Musical Career Freind!!!!! You Definitely Got This!!!!!!!!!!
With You Tube videos you never know what you may get. You are one of the rare true talents that do exist on You Tube and it’s truly a pleasure to have come across your videos to enjoy and learn from being a guitar player myself. Thank you. 🤘🔥🤘
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 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.
Your gift is undeniable. Good covers of exceptional songs are blessings to those of us who strive to learn more and can acknowledge we will never achieve the skills set of so many who can. Congratulations sir. With much envy.
Excellent, excellent work. Thank you for posting. I'd thought this was unplayable as a solo piece, but yours captures the spirit nicely. Taking inspiration from you. Cheers and thanks!
I'm a huge fan of Led Zeppelin and have a big space in my heart for this particular song. You covered it beautifully with your own unique voice and guitar work. Thank you for posting this for all of us. I'm gonna check out your channel and subscribe for more.
Brilliant. The song is hard enough to play in DADGAD tuning but to sing and play this at the same time in perfect pitch is difficult to say the least. But also some of the chord sequences are your own interpretation which makes this very special.
this ist the best acoustic Version of this Song i´ve ever heard. Guitar and Vocals are really great and in a very nice smooth timing. I love this Version. THX for sharing, Christopher ...rock on
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.
@@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: ruclips.net/video/oRcCHZCLFsk/видео.html
Excellent intro (I wasn't getting the sound of it because of the imagination put into it) then this bloomed into a classic arrangement. Well done my friend.

Its perfect. And his
Hard to stop replaying this! Wow! What a wonderful combination of voice and guitar.
All the thumbs down are guitar players still struggling to play an open G.
HAH!
...If they would have just tried an “Open E” , they wouldn’t have been so critical...
And two years later, coming back. This is beautiful. Thank you.
Well done! Beautiful!
Just coming across this nine years on. What a lovely cover!
Yes indeed it is. Came across it just now myself. A mere two hours after you. Don't know why I decided to explore covers of this most excellent song at the moment, but I'm so glad I did, or I might have missed THIS one forever!
Well done. Made my sunday.

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

Excellent cover. Impressive travis picking.

John Renshaw this song is so hard to play and sing.
dad gad ey did nt know
Wow! What a voice! And those fingers.......
Absolutely Beautiful...
Beautiful! Sounded so good! Guitar vox just rich warm and brown sounding!
I always knew "Going to California" had untapped potential. No Led Zep versions quite got me there, but this DOES.
Good Lord, this is utterly amazing.
I almost never comment on RUclips...but that was stellar. Thank you sir!
this ist the best acoustic Version of this Song i´ve ever heard. Guitar and Vocals are really great and in a very nice smooth timing. I love this Version. THX for sharing, Christopher ...rock on
Late to the party, but that was just excellent. Best cover of my favorite song I have heard!
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
Bravo ! You are in my phone now, and i listen to you quiet everyday 🎉😊
This is absolutely incredible talent. Amazing arrangement. Well done.
What a great job on this classic song ! Loved it!
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
Amen Juice! I’ve been working on doing just that every day 30 min to an hr. For the past 15 months. I’m nowhere close. The dude sets a high bar.
Totally Awesome! Well done! Amazing Talent/Gift!
Simply beautiful!
So good. I keep watching it.
Just beautiful, Brother. You nailed it!
I just flat out enjoyed this! Now I'm inspired to give a try too!
Mind blown I love the feeling u put behind this
Excellent work, inspiring thank you
Really like the softer touch on the final line of the phrase. Brilliant

It’s actually not that hard, but damn, this guy does it well.
Agreed! Chris is the master!
@@MikaelLewisify do you think you can teach me how to play these chords ? I have never played guitar before.

So smooth and beautiful 🙏🌺
