In today's guitar lesson we learn how to play Going To California by Led Zeppelin. I created a solo fingerstyle guitar arrangement from the several guitar and mandolin parts in the recording. This song features travis picking and is in double Drop D tuning. It's a beautiful classic and a great addition to one's repertoire.
