It has not been easey learning href="http://learntoplaycanonrock.blogspot.com/">Canon Rock on
Guitars . It's been months since I saw this piece and I fell
came to like it right away for the reason that it seemed like
like Canon Rock on guitar is something I can play with enough
practice.

After seeing it, I searched all of youtube for renditions by
various guitarist and there was a lot of them, and they mostly
covers the Jerry C version, this might be because all of them
used the same tab that has been floating online.

One particular redition that I really came to admire is Funtwo's
rendition of the Canon Rock and that's what I decided to learn.
There were parts in his rendition that are more to my taste. In
my search for the tabs for it Funtwo's Canon Rock version I also
bumped into discussions on which is better and which is easier
to learn. In my opinion, it really doesn't matter which one is
easier to learn, I am betting that both would really take some
serious will to master.

Oh, there is no tablature for Funtwo's version of Canon Rock, or
none that I manged to find, and even Jerry C's rendition has 5
different rendition for the Guitar pro program. But anyway I
decided to learn it by watching him and listening.

I will be posting my own transcription once I get about it and
the youtube video I took of me playing Canon Rock in clean tone
using my Epiphone Les Paul. I'm still about 3/4th's of the way
donw with Canon Rock on Guitar but learning it actually taught
me a lot of guitar techniques in the interim that I was able to
use to play other songs.

The sweeping parts of Canon Rock simply is a beast to tame! If
you get the sweeping parts down pat, other sweeping from other
songs becomes easier, like the Final Fantasy VII Boss battle
theme titled For Those who Fight Further (Still More Fighting)
comes to mind <- Which I'm learning as well.

I will be posting a link to my video in the next post and then
we'll start learning canon rock on guitars and isolate and
discuss the difficult parts.
