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.
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!
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
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!
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.🎩🎸🎧🤙🏽
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.
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. 🤘🔥🤘
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?
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!
Wowwww!!!!!! Absolutely Beautiful my Freind!!!!! Just Amazingly composed and Wellllllllll Done!!!! Hope you are Chasing Musical Career Freind!!!!! You Definitely Got This!!!!!!!!!!
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.
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 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.
Absolutely beautiful cover of one of my absolute favorite Led Zeppelin songs!!! I definitely subscribed to your channel and will post this video on my social media. I hope you keep it up and look forward to hearing more from you. ♥️
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
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.
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.
Wow, 9 years and I’m just now seeing this?! 😢 You should be at the top of the UA-cam heap. I am inspired to set my goals this high…at age 56. Great job man, thank you! I’ll definitely gonna be able to pick up some chicks if I learn this song 😅
@@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: ua-cam.com/video/oRcCHZCLFsk/v-deo.html

Yeah, I’m listening in 2020. I find this master piece absolutely fantastic. Excellent job my friend. ✨👍
Jerry Sheldon The vibe is serene. Really is a unreal performance.
Same here Jerry Sheldon!!! Great, kind comment ❤️
2023 here.. and I will be back in 2024 😅
That was beautiful. Your guitar playing is so clean, and your vocals are on point. 👏
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...
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.🎩🎸🎧🤙🏽
I’d like to hear the rest of your playlist.
Your playing, your tone, your voice, all great. Well done Sir.
Stunning cover even in 2022. Great job !!
Absolute class! Very flowing style…👏👏👏
The best cover ever...made it your own
Going in thinking it was a guitar only cover of one of my favorite songs. Blown away, great job man!
Fantastic, really excellent all the way around.
Brilliant arrangement

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 always knew "Going to California" had untapped potential. No Led Zep versions quite got me there, but this DOES.
Beauty Song and Excellent Voice Brother!!!

Crisp, clear, accurate and full of skill. Time spent in concentration and learning is time well spent my Brother. Fantastic and pure.
What a great job on this classic song ! Loved it!
Just beautiful, Brother. You nailed it!
Beautiful! Sounded so good! Guitar vox just rich warm and brown sounding!
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
Outstanding Chris - Treading on hallowed ground and you did an outstanding job. Thanks for sharing your beautiful covers.
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.
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.
This is absolutely incredible talent. Amazing arrangement. Well done.
Excellent work, inspiring thank you
OMG this guy voice is jaw dropping!! Great cover - just wow - thank you for sharing this amazing gift with us
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.
This has to be by far the best I’ve ever heard. You are an amazing storyteller my friend.
well done Christopher that was amazing
Real neat rendition...loved it!
I just flat out enjoyed this! Now I'm inspired to give a try too!
Perfect. I’m a life long Zep fan, and all I can say is perfect.
Wow. Beautiful! I'm listening to this in 2021. I hope to find more videos on your channel.
Bravissimo!!!!!!!!!
I love 😍 this performance really nice I have no word

So good. I keep watching it.
Simply brilliant sir
Amazing. Blown away....
Wow, 9 years and I’m just now seeing this?! 😢 You should be at the top of the UA-cam heap. I am inspired to set my goals this high…at age 56.
Great job man, thank you!
I’ll definitely gonna be able to pick up some chicks if I learn this song 😅
My god just beautiful voice and guitar playing! Well done!!!
It's a yes for me
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
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.
@@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: ua-cam.com/video/oRcCHZCLFsk/v-deo.html
Completely agree
Absolutely first class.- so soulful. I've listened to it so many times. Hope all is well with you.
Simply beautiful!
