Went to youtube to view and listen. This young fella's really good and his rendition really rocks. Viewed by 7.5 million.

I think this is the original one that I remember from the guitar boards a while back.

That younger kid did a really good job of learning it.

Thanks for the links guys. They were both brilliant.

I listened to them individually first. Then I played them both at the same time, they used the same background track so timing wasn't too hard. Funtwo seems to be a little more fluid but you have to give kudos to the original arrangement by JerryC. Now I wish I would have went to those damn music lessons.

WOW....I played in the Original rock music scene here in Van for several years.....and I must say......This kid is extremely talented!!!
He will definetly go places if he has the drive.....unbelievable!!!!

And for the record in case people here didn't know.....the song he playing is the classical song named ....Pachelbel Canon in D......by Johann Pachelbel

Coincidentally ...that's always been my favorite Classical song!!!

cheers...

JerryC playing Canon in D is very cool but
this one is pretty good with an unconventional instrument.

Now that I see this again I noticed the kid actually leaves the sweeps out. See what Jerry C does around 1:42 and compare to what the kid does. Still awesome for a 15 year old.

wow

That is amazing. Now I can't wait to get better at the guitar so I can do that. lol. I'm still learning acoustic, but I can't wait to get an electric guitar.

To each their own, but Pachelbel must be spinning

The guy isnt 15, he is Jeong-Hyun Lim, a 23-year-old Korean who taught himself guitar over the course of the last six years.

Still awesome, especially considering he is self taught.
