(The Mamas & The Papas) California Dreamin' - Gabriella Quevedo 

I'm 76 and I am so dang happy when I see these younger generations not only play the greatest music ever. But do an OUTSTANDING job of it. You GO girl, beautiful playing!!

An incredible performance. I play guitar and sometimes I think I'm not too bad. Then I see something like this and realize I'm not very good at all. She's in a whole other universe: her ability just blows my mind. The casual observer has no idea what it takes to play like that. It takes a ton of talent and dedication to the instrument. Not to mention it's a great song. The Mamas & Papas were able to do what is called soaring harmonies. All I can say is, wow!

B e a u t i f u l

благодарю!

She needs no vocals, unbelievable!! How intelligent one must have to be to accomplish this... "Bravo" !

Mona Lisa's smile. Charming guitar playing. One of the cutest things I've ever seen. 🖤🖤🖤🥰

Похвалить её игру? Этого, мало... Да и сама по себе, милая и славная девушка !!! 🙂👍🎸

И фирменная улыбка в конце....спасибо Габриэлла😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚

Your superb guitar playing skill is only surpassed by your exceptional beauty!

Brilliant. Your index finger is like a human capo 😆

Обожаю эту песню! Габи, как всегда, исполненяет на высшем уровне❤️

Listened again two years later. Every bit as wonderful as I remembered.

Being born and raised in California, this song has always been special to me. Well done. :-)

I can hear Mama Cass Singing along with Gabriela from across eternity.......WOW

Consegues me abraçar sem me abraçar abraçando o teu violão... Que coisa mais linda.❤

Молодец какая! Что тут ещё сказать? Только 👍👍👍👍👍🥰

I’m waiting for the Mona Lisa smile. ❣️

What a beautifully played version of this classic this is. Such an amazingly talented young woman.

You are 24 years old and YOU PLAY EVERYTHING!!! I am very impressed!! When I was your age , I knew 5 songs!! And you play EVERYTHING VERY WELL!!

The way you orchestrate these classic tunes, including the vocal part and guitar solo, all while keeping the groove rock steady, is simply extraordinary

Как сыграно! Просто супер! Молодец! Спасибо огромное! Молодец!

❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶 Габриэлла умничка!!! ❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶 Мало того, что сама красавица, так ещё и играет отменно!!! Смотреть - одно удовольствие!!!

Ох уж эта улыбка)) Ohh this smile))

Brilliant! One of my favourite songs of the Sixties given the Gabriella gold treatment. 👌👍😎

It’s very brave to come on RU-vid playing classics that are known by millions for decades. It can only be done when one has talent. Congratulations. Thanks for sharing your talent. Truly impressive.

I will say, "Great Job!" before viewing and if one is reading this comment, I was correct.

Габриэлла как всегда на высоте, отличное исполнение и приятная клыбка!🎸👏👍🌹🌹🌹

no vocals required. you sang the whole song with just the instrument, skill, and passion. Well done and kisses

Пятница закончилась великолепно. Спасибо Габи!

Ай, умничка- девочка!!

Seemed like a throwaway, schmaltzy song when I was a kid. It is legend though and this is the best cover I have ever heard.

Шикарное исполнение! Однозначно лайк

I grew up in California in the 60's and this was one of the great songs in that era! Brings back great memories and Gabriella adds her beautiful sound to the song👍

Can't help telling you how Beautiful your guitar playing is and you too Gabriella. Wow! Maybe I'm Amazed. Thanks Dear.

Such a beautiful and talented young lady.

Любо 🌺🌷🌹🤗

I know I am lost in all your people that love you but thank you I'm thankful and grateful for you

Exceptional. I never realized how complex this song could be. And the lovely smile is a nice special touch!

Красотка во всех смыслах ❤👍

My deepest respects! A youung lady as yourself, playing such a classic!!!! Again: my deepest respects!

That was absolutely amazing!!! I am from California, and every since I left that song always brought nice memories to mind, you version brought me to tears! In a good way. You are a truly gifted artist! Thank you for such a beautiful rendition!

Incrível, sensacional linda, você é excelente violinista, maravilhosa, parabéns pela sua performance! Merece todos os aplausos,que Deus continue te abençoando sempre!

Молодец приятно слушать👏👏👏

тот момент когда сходу ставишь лайк не глядя, а потом жалеешь что можно поставить только один.....

Life is so much better, when we see someone like you, play a beautiful song like that.

Всегда поражает чистота и чёткость исполнения. Браво...

Ridiculously good! Beautifully played.

I only have one word for you AMAZING. AND YOU R A VERY BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY

Исполнение шикарное. Мне очень нравится эта композиция. Как всегда на высоте, так держать.

Nem uma nota meio arrastada. A dificuldade dessa execução é tremenda. Simplesmente divino.

guitar goddess with a smile to match

Ну что ты всё ловишь момент, когда подымет глаза и улыбнётся - на пальцы смотри)))!

That sing is Sweet take me to my HeY !! day .. I know you feel that song as you play it ... the reason it moved me . Che Meegwetch Thank u so much Rabbits away!!😊😊

Умница! Спасибо за позитивное настроение, возникающее в результате просмотра блестящего исполнения!

Another excellent performance from my favourite guitarist playing another one of my all time favourite pieces of music. I now need to listen to some chilled tunes while preparing my vegetable garden. Thank you so much for the inspiration for today💛👍😁

Incredible arrangement and performance... again. Keep them coming please...

I wish Gabriella's American fans could join together to bring her to our country!!

Who in their right mind could give this or any of Gabriella’s recordings a thumbs down. Love this arrangement.

Vivas sentimientos califonia.aventura....desde🇪🇸💖🇺🇸👍

One of my all time forvorite songs in the world ..you nailed it again 👏..I wish you would do Steve Winwoods song from blind faith "I can't find my way home " I know your arrangement would be so awesome !!!

I clicked “like” even before you started playing.... I knew it was going to be fabulous!! I was not disappointed....

a very tastefull and great version of that song. impressive

Классно. Мне после музыкального училища до такого очень далеко, молодец

I can’t play a single note on any instrument, but I really enjoy listening to those wonderfully talented who can.

Bravissima Gabriella!! Ciao dall'Italia xx

Шикарно, как всегда, спасибо за хорошее настроение на вечер пятницы!

Умничка! Красавица! Привет из Тулы

Sentimientos las musika sin frontera..

Габриэла, Вы как всегда великолепны!

What a great artist you are Gabriella! The best guitarist on RU-vid!

Oh, yeah--excellent rendition!

Новое видео от Габриеллы 👍🔥💣👏👏👏👏👏

Next to the original, this is THE best arrangement I've ever heard. Just WOW!! As someone who grew up in the 60's and 70's (and also played guitar) this was one of my all-time favourite tunes. Beautiful picking and what incredibly beautiful tone. Your finger-picking technique is simply flawless. The late, great John Phillips would be proud. You are an incredible talent, and a beautiful young lady to boot!. Keep up the great work Gabriella :)

Have enjoyed many of your videos but this one so far is may favorite. Helps, maybe, cause I was young when this song came out. I will visit thing one often. And a great big smile at the end. Thanks.

Wonderful! A great rendition of “California Dreamin”. You are quite skilled. You would be quite a hit at parties! 😃

Loved this, as usual, your genius arrangement senses are perfection to the ear. I could put this on repeat for hours. Thanks!

wow! fantastic!

Bravo, i am an old school rocker, and actuary watched the Mammas and the Pappas play that song live, well done girl !!!

Oh, so beautifully played while taking me back to my teen years during the mid-1960's. Party's and girls and fumbling around in my '38 Oldsmobile sharing a bottle of Nederburg sparkling wine never going to get old, those times never ending until they actually do. Now at 77, I'm grateful for the memories and a young lady' playing guitar bringing back into view a time of magic before the world got serious. Big thanks for that and the memories I've found again.❤

Belleza de mujer y de interpretación, cada nota bien lograda y melodia limpia y enérgica, mil felicitaciones, me encantó.

I consider myself talented in the things I do, but I give way to monster talent like this every time.

Дорогая Габриэлла Вы -- сказка наяву! 🌹🌹🌷От Вас всегда плывёт волшебная мелодия по свету! 🎵🎶🎵🎸 С удовольствием послушал, ОГРОМНОЕ СПАСИБО!!! 💐💐💐
