Led-Zeppelin Going to California on mandolin

[GhettoBlaster100]

Try using a thinner pick, it helped me a ton

[JOBISBAY]

I feel bad for you, because you're getting a lot of shit. Good song, but you raped it! :) have nice day stoner kid, I'm sure you're much better- think about it this way- you may have played a bad job, but you still got 33,000 + veiws! so don't cry, just learn how to play

[jennymac1214]

You have it down just play to a metronome...

[GhettoBlaster100]

your like a breadstick, you aint got no rhythm

[sirlonghair]

metronome play to a slow beat and slowly speed it up to proper timing do it slow till it is absolutely perfect and then add some speed I am doing it all over after ripping tendons in playing fingers it sucks but slow first till it's polished

[babyduck34]

needs work, slow it down, put your heart in to it........or something

[BananaHurricane]

This sounds nothing like Going to California.

[IamCommando1213]

3 tips. 1. slow it down

2. use a thicker pick. your thin pick makes the tone really thin and makes a noticable clacking sound that only really fits eastern music

3. alternate your pick strokes more. all down strokes makes it sound choppy

Im not trying to be an asshole like everyone else here, I'm just trying to give you constructive criticism

[KRUSTYskates]

good job man

fuck everybody and their negative feedback

how about YOU guys post a video response and top him huh?

[BWHEELERWV]

put it away and take up some other instrument,probably wind or piano.

[wallsacc]

@BWHEELERWV haha or he can take up butt-stuffing like you; ive seen the vids on your page....yikes

[SergantSnail]

dude, dont you know that the string instruments are the hardest to play! im 12 an i play meandolin and guitar and i fucking practice my ass off!

[blkbeltmage]

@SergantSnail

What? NO. I play guitar and mandolin too, but clarinet is SOOO much harder. Wind instruments are WAY harder. Try doing glissando a guitar, now try it on a clarinet..

[jopog1]

sounds kind of empty with out the guitar acompianment

[mistymtnhop67]

ok.......im sorry but i heard no Jimmy page in it.......good try though xoox ;))

[migasaguiar]

not on the battle of evermore

[DiCola119]

NIce, even if your doing it wrong it looks pretty hard

[brad2bw]

Your pick strokes should be up, down, up, down...etc. Just a tip bro.

[whattatrip740]

a very USEFUL tip that will help him out in the long run

[maddielinny]

wayyy too fast listen the the tempo of the original song, plus this sounds a little bit wrong...

[fakalakaloo]

please listen the original song! that"s wrong

[hillman887]

Greatest song ever. need some tempo and subtlety though

[bearswritepictures]

awesome

[Mojomanmadness1971]

You are doing good. You need to play along with the original and get the tempo right its a jumble the way you are rushing in and out of parts. it s really bad...

[zeppsabbathozzy]

you should just stop playing

[Theoryn]

YOU SUUUUUUUUCK

[guns1rose]

no feeling.

[courtjester24]

thats sick well done

[stanleyklosrogerscom]

stiff stiff stiff

[GhettoBlaster100]

@stanleyklosrogerscom like a dick

[Raiyell]

Yea, I can't even tell that this is Going to California. It is so random and far off tempo. Keep working on the timing and it'll be good, though.

[xxLawrenceofarabiaxx]

Your timing is terrible.

[rnewsome51]

That is a Tacoma M1 or M2 mandolin. I don't think Tacoma makes them anymore, they were made for a few years starting in the late 90's. I had an M1, like playing it, but wasn't crazy about the sound.

[therainsong1]

very good

u might want to slow down a bit on the tempo

it helps tu use a metronome... some of the notes are very of tempo :P but u got pretty much each detail of the song

great zepp song!

check mine out and coment

[Avalanche4life]

please where did iyou get tabs for that?????

[adamu1978]

Sounds more like a banjo! Rock on brother.

[stewieshark]

Nice job!

[prozukinismugler]

What kind of mandolin is that? It looks huge for a mando, and it's incredibly sharp sounding in it's tone. It doesn't look like you're that close to the bridge, either.

[voolverham]

what?was it the 20's
