Pachelbel's Canon is one of the most famous pieces of classical music ever written - but it is normally played by an ensemble of musicians all playing the same melody but 4 bars behind each other. Unfortunately I don't have an ensemble of musicians to work with this week so I decided to try to write an arrangement for solo mandolin to share with you fine fellow mandolin players. In this lesson, I'll show you what I came up with and we’ll break down the techniques, fingerings, and phrasing needed to make this beautiful piece sound full and expressive on solo mandolin.
