How to Play The Canon in D ... even if you hate it!

[@stevieboy444]

This is great. I don't accept that someone can actively dislike the basics of music theory. These are tools that live in your toolbox. Teaching people to use them is an educators job & it's one you do very well Marco. If memory serves, there's a Bach Chorale which has a 1 4 5 progression in it...but nobody's saying "yeah he's just ripping off Status Quo". It's what you do with it that counts. You do great work, thank you.

When my daughter a couple of months old, she woke up in the middle of the night for her feedings. After my wife breast feed her, I used to slow dance in the dark in the living room to this piece with her. She used to just stare up and listen and eventually fall back to sleep. It was our special time together. Now, that same little girl is 18 and goes to college. I’m going to learn this song and play it to her and tell her about our dances together. Thank you!

Best arrangement I have ever heard. I have played a ten canon (repetition) version of this song at least once every day for the past 3 years. It took me such a long time time learn as every canon is different. Each canon has 8 phrases and only a few are repeated. I had to learn 56 different phrases. To do 15 canons is so amazing. I salute you! You know that the negative comments stem form a lack of understanding. Your tolerance to try to educate the plebs is also amazing.

[@samsonlaloyo588]

Legend. I have been following you for over 3 years now and still following

[@irzeeshan___]

Been desperately waiting.....finally.....thank you Marco I don't care what people say about cannon in D. It is relaxing and mesmerising for me And your arrangement is awesome as always.

Thank you Marco I hope you and your family had a lovely Christmas Best wishes from Glasgow in Scotland

Who hates Canon in D? Its beautiful. I loved learning to play it on classical guitar.

[@paulangel3835]

Hey Marco, been a fan of your Chanel’s for a while now🙂Cannon in D was played at our registry office wedding, you’ve interpreted it such a way that I now want to learn to play your version🤓you’ve inspired me yet again, thanks🙏

[@richellmcknight446]

I'm not at a level on guitar to play this arrangement YET, but I still have fun with the Canon- I use the chord progression in both D AND C to practice my finger picking skills! With the slow tempo, it's really the perfect simple pattern to repeat over and over to get it ingrained in my fingers, and to make it fun and interesting, as well as more of a challenge, I SING the melodic parts, all the different ones, starting with the bass line and moving up through the more complex parts😍😁 I actually did it that way at Ren Faire this fall and people loved it!😁

[@BookerTDooku]

Great idea to song the melody, also really good practice for singing over a chord progression, thanks. I just tried also, rather than emulate Marcos exact arrangement, just trying to find the chord progression In different places around the neck, was fun and felt useful. Some fantastic ideas in this s video!

[@ishanvass9345]

Do you have tabs for this arrangement

[@robertelsbury2121]

Absolutely love your arraignment and will be working on trying to emulate what you’ve created.

[@dball5243]

Man I think the simplicity of the progression combined with the complexity and beauty of the Melody makes this one of the best songs ever written in my opinion.

[@richellmcknight446]

I love your arrangement, I don't think there is such a thing as a bad version of this song, though!🥰 It's been in my top 5 fave classical pieces since 9th grade orchestra, a REALLY long dang time ago! My cello part was so beautiful! I've never heard anyone ever play it, surprisingly, but once it moved past the simple and well known bass line, it became complex and really fun!

[@archivedandgone]

I'm convinced people only hate it because its been cool to hate on it for a while now since acts like 'the Pachelbel rant' got big. But no one actually dislikes it for any inherent reason

[@Swoop180]

My Senior year saw our orchestra going to State, it was 1982 and being held in Dallas, it was the first time I have ever visited a large city and even more frightening, play in front of a huge crowd. I played second violin and am too old to remember what chair but our Conductors choice for State? Eine kleine Nachtmusik in it's entirety. We actually took first place and they cut a record, that being said Eine kleine Nachtmusik will always bring back great memories but so does Canon in D.

[@roadglide]

Not many people should be hating on this classic tune. Especially with how much it can be, if desired, to be flavored with a knowledgeable and skilled musician like yourself. If they do they need a music reset. Appreciating the Forest is important with all the trees within it. Peace.

[@iunknown563]

Who can hate this divinely beautiful piece???? Awesome arrangement 👍

[@Hoireabard]

I love the song and your arrangements.

[@KathyEasler]

Thank you. I love that I can use the chord progression and different harmonies/ melodies. I have created hundreds of pieces based on these chord progressions. Love it.

[@rupakmaharjan4260]

Hi Marco I am really impressed with your presentation and teaching style so simple and sound to listen but hard for us to grab and still trying with little laying knowledge. Hope will try to betterment. Thanks a lot for feeling fully tuned fully satisfied 😌

[@jefftiebout1376]

I think how you played it and arranged it was beautiful and inspiring.

Great explanation of your thinking on the arrangement.

[@internetexplorer7880]

2:47 Your improvisation almost sounded like a melody from demon slayer

[@antares1840]

I wish I could understand where you get the creativity to make your own melody. When I pick my guitar and try to create something I feel totally stuck

[@Jack.Waters]

That has been one of my "Go To" movements on Violin/Keyboard for 5 decades. Most all Blues then Rock draws from the Master Classics. They just speed it up 5X.. Bliss in is the Harmony with Nature.

[@worldsbestwatcher3735]

I have 3 or 4 completley different leads that I play over one backing track of Canon in D. I'm no Slash but I feel like I've accomplished something when I play them every time. I didn't know that people "hated" the progression. They'd REALLY hate my renditions. Ha

[@jono601]

People don’t like it because they hear to many kiddy versions of the song. It’s like Beethoven. Too many easy versions out there. The song sounds amazing played by real talent with authentic score.

[@Kai-dj1xi]

Love it man. What guitar are you using?

[@MrVijay1942]

I am very fond of the way you have played Canon in D and want to learn it. I find very difficult in placing my Left Hand Fingers and memorising the sequence of notes . Could you provide me advice with structured learning aid for this piece,

Some people’s taste exists only in their mouth, and even then they tend to have a limited, uninteresting palette. I thought it was a beautiful arrangement. 👍👍

Haters gonna hate. it's become hip to hate Canon in D it's, arguably, one of the most recognizable classical pieces for a reason.

Ok, I gave a thumbs up, even though (big spender btw...lol) I AM SPOILED to have seen SO many GREAT classical guitarists, (that said) 4 notes in And zzz zzz...lol...however THERE IS HOPE!!...just give a listen to William Jenks version....AND I GUARANTEE that you will be awestruck!!...(probably not for the first time), but for a good time!

[@dimwitsadvocate6264]

A while ago I tried to play this, but my hand cannot reach anywhere near like yours can. So there's no way I'm going to be able to play it. I like the song, but it's denied me.

[@dimwitsadvocate6264]

@@JFlatby You are right, I gave up this song. I want to relax when I play songs, and this song causes pain in my fingers where I can stretch and there are just some fingerings I can't do at all due to the limitations of my hand. So I faced my limitations and instead do songs I can enjoy playing. But you make a good point. I dropped this song, but not the guitar.

[@dimwitsadvocate6264]

​@@JFlatby Thank you for your kindness and understanding. For a year I tried stretching and other things to get my fingers to get a better reach. It did not help at all, so I just decided to run with what I can do. It's enough so that I can sing and play with a few other musicians in front of a small audience once a month and have fun.
