Canon - Pacabel

There is just something about Canon by Pacabel that is beyond beautiful to me and I will work really hard to get to that point where I can play it well. Anyone seen Andrew play that one? I know it's a bit more complex but motivation is important too right?

Wow, thanks for the Advertisment Maggie

Yup, mine isnt so colpicated though. I learned it after a month, you pretty much keep the left hand still all the time, just move in between if you understand! But Its nice still

I just love Canon by Pachelbel... I didnt learn the original piano piece,
but Canon Rock, the modified version made by JerryC.

( it's written for guitar, but sounds almost as great on a keyboard )

Well I just mentioned it but your welcome... you did the direct marketing though giving the right directions so he would not by any chance get lost.

Whats your opinion about the guitar settings on a keyboard? I know it is nothing like playing the guitar....

I love Canon too... I might learn it sooner or later ( probably later)

Hehe, why not sooner You can learn different piecet at the same time. Start with two pieces, you mind will part then quite easly =)

Well I have some serious mind work to do... because if I dont play a piece for like a week it is almost gone... that is why I keep playing the Bach every night so it would stick with me...
It seems Im not too good at keeping sheets in my mind... that is why I desperately need to learn sight reading real-real-real well.
Believe me if I were not moving plus getting ready for a 3 month vacation I would spend most of my time learning and practicing...
Im already scared what will happen during the 3 month especially if I cant get a hold of a keyboard...

But you are on the Forum ALOT You could use that time, and get many hours of practice You lazy, you

You mean the sound? Or how the keys are compared to eachother? As long as it sounds like a guitar it sounds like a guitar.
But the real playing of the instrument is quite different, there are so many possibilities with a guitar that you dont have with a piano.
Vibrato, pitch bends, natural/artifictial harmonics, muting, sliding ( my favorite ).... And thats only some.

But still piano sounds much more beautyfull. There are some good songs playd with only guitar, this is one of them::

I dont exactly know what counts good... but this is a Canon Rock I saw and I thing he is pretty good...

Victor you answered the question with all the special things you mentioned I guess you cant really duplicate the song on the keyboard.




This is an interesting version... it is specially arranged... ( too bad the sheet is only for sale)

I got some canon sheets, 4 different cinds.. And some of them are really hard hehe.. Might have this one, sounds well known :p

the uploader said " his arrangement is written by Mr. Galloway. If you like this piece you can purchase the sheet music at his homepage http://www.leegalloway.com " so that is why I assumed it is special... otherwise I also have couple of copies you can imagine I did not count them yet... still arranging

Yup, but I got one that Is really close to this one. And I got them from a guy on youtube, I just asked him after I saw one of his replys about it. And he sendt it to me. He might have bought it. You never know. Also, how different can the arrangements be? It is the same song, and sounds very much alike. So it can be too different, or else it would have been an different song

You should try George Winston's Variations on the Kanon by Pachelbel after this.
