Canon Rock 2020 - Classic Rock Edition (cover by Brandon Burch)

I started guitar on October 29, 2008. My uncle showed me a KZbin video of this guy by the name of "funtwo" playing a rock version of Pachelbel's Canon. My obsession with the video inspired me to pick up the guitar. I wanted to play like that!
Just for nostalgia I decided to cover this great piece again in 2020. My goal wasn't to change anything, but upload a better cover than in 2011.

Hey everyone! Thanks for watching. Canon Rock began my guitar journey, but I have since recorded more covers and many originals. Please check out my channel for more. :)

[@notyourordinarydad4549]

Are you the OG of this?

[@BrandonBurch]

@notyourordinarydad4549 Not OG as in JerryC or Funtwo. Only another inspired guitarist.

[@Funtw0]

Hey bro! Thank you for the shout-out at the intro. I'm so honored to be a part of your memories. And your touch and tones are so pleasing to listen as always. Let's keep rocking the world!

You're welcome, and thank you so much too, funtwo! It is also an honor to be rocking the world with you. :)

This is maybe the best version of this i have heard!! Too often, people focus too little on the "Canon" part of the song, & too much on the "Rock" - this version has a good mix of both - which means a proper respect for the original piece. i am in love with this!!

[@williamarthurjohn]

At first, I was inspired by Sungha Jung's Canon Rock then I watched the original Canon Rock. But you are the one who taught how to play Canon Rock through video lesson. I used to download your videos to learn Canon Rock while at that time, I was still using acoustic guitar. It was 6-7 years ago and I was 16 at that time. I lost your videos years later then, today I found you and it brings back the memories of me learning how to play Canon Rock even though I was using an acoustic guitar. Now, I'm 23 and owned an electric guitar but I only play few parts of Canon Rock including the main solo. It has been a while and thanks to you I can play Canon Rock but not all of it. Thanks man.
