Hi Dave,

I just finished watching your "how to read guitar tabs video" in the toolbox (great explanation by the way) and during the beginning and end of the video you are playing a classic song that I have heard many times but cannot for the life of me remember the name of.

Could you please tell me the name of the song, and point me to tab (if there is any) as it seems like a great song for warm up excercise.

Thanks

Lonnie

Hi Lonnie,

The song I was playing the melody from at the beginning of the 'How to Read Guitar Tabs' video is Pachelbel's 'Canon' in D. Christopher Schlegel, one of Guitar Tricks instructors, has a cool nylon string version of the melody in the tutorial link below (Go to 'Variation 3' - bars 13-16 for a finger style version of the melody):

and electric guitar version as well:

I also have a cool version of Pachelbel's 'Canon' in D on my 'Desert Storm' cd, where I play the melody on electric guitar:

I offer private online lessons here on Guitar Tricks if you are interested in learning my version. Book a lesson with me and I'll show you all or parts of my version that you want to learn:

I hope this helps!
