PACHELBEL JOHANN - "pachelbels canon" Tablature
Official PACHELBEL JOHANN Tablature & Sheet Music »
-----------------
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!

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official PACHELBEL JOHANN tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
