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

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 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.👍😎🙋

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

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.

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

Well done. Made my sunday.

Fantastic version of the song. Thanks

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

This guy can play anything, perfectly. So good!

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

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

Excellent cover. Impressive travis picking.

I love song, great rendition!❤

Stunning cover even in 2022. Great job !!

The best cover ever...made it your own

Best cover of going to California

How the fuck are there thumbs down on this ??? Jesus such talent

Brilliant arrangement

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?

best cover of this song ever - hands down

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

Fantastic, really excellent all the way around.

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.

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.🎩🎸🎧🤙🏽

this should have thousands of views I've been playing for 35 yrs this was very well done nice job you have talent my friend

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

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