Pachelbel’s Canon is one of my favorite pieces to play. For many years now, I have been using a simplified version of this piece in the key of C with nearly all of my guitar students.
Here is an updated version that features sheet music for playing the piece with two basic picking patterns (measures 1-16) and two basic strumming patterns (measures 17-33).
