Cannon D

[foxy]

Hi Guys,
Happy New Year to you all
Not sure if any of you have seen this guitar solo on You Tube, this young lad in his bedroom is amazing I gather this was composed from Pachebels Cannon in D by a guy called Jerry C and has become a cult guitar solo if you are good enough. I know it is not Shads stuff but it does show what talent is out there. I would cut my right arm off to be able to play like that------
guess i wouldn't be able to play anything then. ENJOY www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjA5faZF1A8

If this link doesn't work search for cannon d by funtwo.

Regards,
Paul

Hi Paul,

I've seen this lad play some dream theater tunes before (I think it was him, same hat and tee shirt ;D) He sure has got a lot going for him, I hope he follows a career in music.


Kind regards,


Chris

He certainly has mastered "sweep picking" and other modern metal techniques. His style seems to me like a bit of a cross between Malmsteen, Petrucci and Satriani. He looks quite young and has a big future if he continues to develop his playing. We might just hear more of him some time soon. The lad can certainly play.

He is excellent. Who said it has to be Shads stuff on this site, I didn't!

Hi Charlie, Chris, Len
Glad you liked it. If you search you tube there are a number of versions. Another great version of the original is by Sunga Jung, he looks about 9 or 10 and plays it on an acoustic. His finger stretch is quite amazing hope you take a look the one to watch is Canon D 2nd time.

Best Regards
Paul
