Tapping Canon

[mullet0909]

ok so i desided to convert Canon (the classic piano song) sheet music to bass guitar tabbliture on guitar pro and it took forever. then i realized that it got up to the 26th fret on the first string which renders it useless as my bass is a 4 sting 22 fret bass. so i got kinda frustrated so im asking u guys if u hav the tabs to a tapping version of this song. Ive seen a kid on youtube play it on a 4 string. or at least u could give me some insight on how i could could play it differently to avoid those high frests and low strings.

doesn't that kid use harmonics to get those really high notes? or maybe im just on crack....it sounds very badass on bass btw.

well look at the music, if you have nothing lower than an A or Gflat then just move everything down

I'm going to be assuming that you are referencing to "Canon In D" by Pachelbel seeing as a canon is a type of piece.

I have never seen anyone really do a tapping piece for this, but I know that tri3ze did, and he is a part of this forum. I, actually, just saw his piece.

Just for future reference:

Strict counterpiont in which each voice exactly imitates the previous voice at a fixed distance.

To Afrokid: In a video on YouTube, a kid did play harmonics for some high notes for "Canon In D", but it was his own personal arrangement, apparently.

I can't help you, but this thread made me think to go back and watch the Jerry C videos. Man is he good.

I love that guy. Tasteful shred? Never?!

[peeted]

have you thought about mabie transcribing it to a diffrent key, mabie a few semitones lower?

[ludwig109]

anyone have a tab for a six string version, id say it would be possible on that anyway?

[mullet0909]

yes i was meanin "Canon in D". the piece i was transcribing from had jsut titled it "Canon" "by Pachelbel". so i titled it that in here. it is in d though. so would u guys suggest it in C? as better? however there are some low notes in there but are only a bass played with the treble octave or double octave, so it could be changed to a different octave or omitted.

http://download.yousendit.com/5DB60EC80448E252 you need a 6 string with 25 fretts to play it :/ theres a tab incase anyone actualy has a 6 string with 25 fretts, im gona work on it abit more tomorow to see if i can get round the frett issue.

its only the **** dissonent annoying bits wich seem to need 25 fretts any way though so its still worth learning the rest i recon.

[ludwig109]

cheers peeted.. the 25 frets is a weird number. but yeh cheers maybe you could bend up the extra fret.. would be weird but still

the only harmonics on that video are in the very beggining and thats not but im talkin about.

[mullet0909]

that kid plays it in d. i can see the main chords but im curious about his variations--the ones before he gets fast--anyways, they fit on his fretboard and he only has 19 frets.
