The piece blends Pachelbel's Canon in D with elements of U2's style, incorporating a distinct U2-like groove. Performance should think more along the lines of classical rock and emphasize accents as if using a guitar pick.

A laid-back tempo and U2 beat are used, along with accents and pizzicato fingernail plucking to imply a guitar sound.

Accents, pizzicato fingernail plucking, and thinking of the performance as more classical rock than classical are emphasized.

Minus track performance: Just retard here as you normally would because you can sync back
161 together with the cello at any time. (It just repeats the 2 note pattern to an eventual fade.)

Side Notes: Helpful Hints:
· Who would have thought that Pachelbel and U2 were made for · Beware of approaching this piece classically. Think more along
each other? As many times as Canon has been arranged and the lines of classical rock (not to be confused with "classic rock.")
re-arranged, you may find this version to be a little different. If you must, don a pair of your favorite shades to get in the right

pizz-ing use the fingernail of your index-finger to imply
a guitar-pick sound.
