Hi Everyone,
Today's Target and Pay Per Lesson release is now live.
Going To California is an acoustic classic from Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, with an assist by John Paul Jones that appeared on Led Zeppelin’s fourth album. The original recording featured many overdubs and this lesson combines the important parts into a solo guitar accompaniment. It is done in Double Dropped D Tuning and includes some thoughts on improvising around the chord progression and making it your own.
Enjoy this level 5 lesson.

I just became a member of the Target Program after seeing you teaching this song! One of my favorites... (I've been exploring around the site for a few weeks already) Thanks and I look forward to a lot of fun with all of you crazy guitar players!!!

Neil,
You've been covering some great songs recently! You did a terrific job combining the guitar and mandolin parts and the "Make It Your Own" and "Something Like This" (i.e., Neil's Solo Jam) are very, very, very helpful for learning to jam within the framework of a song like this. I've mostly been a parrot... you show me something and I can generally play it. I must admit that you are forcing me to learn more about music and the instrument and that's a good thing.
As a friendly reminder, "Rain Song" also has a senior position on the requested song list if you're still in a Led Zeppelin mood.
Thanks!
Jim

Glad to see the positive responses to this song. As many of you know I am having a lot of fun lately doing some of my personal favorites. I know Rain Song is high on the list but it is probably a long way off for a few reasons... (gotta keep 'em guessing!)
Thanks Gang,
