Rock Arrangement of Pachelbel’s Canon
by
If you like guitar at all, you have to check this out. Apparently, there was a whole internet phenomenon that I completely missed out on: this guy, known as funtwo, recorded audio and video of himself playing this kick-ass rock arrangement of Pachelbel’s Canon, and posted it to a Korean website (which was later then posted to YouTube by someone else).
It’s really amazing just watching this guy play. Some of the commenters on YouTube said that it’s not *that* hard to play, but it’s a pretty cool video, watching this guy just play this technically stunning guitar, while displaying almost none of the emotion typically displayed by guitar players.
And to add to the coolness factor: no one knew who he was for months. But now there’s a New York Times story about him.
This makes me want to hear rock arrangements of more classical music.
