Daniel Realpe22nd April 2010this chord progression is immortal! excellent arrangement
thefireball21st March 2010This is fun! Just thought I'd take a shot at it. I love the hammer-ons and pull-offs in section 5. They are fun! I've already got the feel of them. The rhythm is gonna take some time. So used to the Full Song version.

Pi3820th May 2008Coca Cola Rocks!
I guess all of that sugar and caffeine is what jump started the speed-metal arrangement idea, eh?

Hi all! :)and welcome to the lesson of my speedy metal arrangement of Pachelbel's Canon in D.
I had a LOT of fun doing this one! And it's inspired by JerryC's original rock arrangement, as I'm sure you can hear.
As for the lesson; I'm not using much difficult techniques, I keep it relatively simple. The tricky part might be playing it up to tempo and getting the bends right.
Hope you like it :)
