Pachelbel?s Canon
-----------------

Tabbed by Ewan Pettman.

This is my arrangement of Pachelbel?s Canon for classical guitar. It?s only a couple of minutes long and doesn?t sound anything like as good as the version for strings, but the latter requires at least five instrumentalists playing at least three different kinds of stringed instrument, whereas only one guitar is needed to play my arrangement. The arrangement for strings is in D but my version is in E so as to make downtuning unnecessary. I?ve varied the spacing in between the notes to indicate the notes? durations, which should be useful.

Hope you enjoy!
