Learning To Play Canon Rock on Guitars

It has not been easey learning 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.
