Pachelbel’s Canon for Solo Bass, Zander Zon
Apr 23, 2010 amazing classical guitar solos
My solo album – Sonorous – is now available on CD Baby:

(Also available on iTunes.)
Well, I decided to give my favorite classical piece a try. And it’s safe to say that, after coming up with this arrangement and practicing it every day for two weeks, there is a 60% chance I will never be able to use my left hand again. : )

Welcome for this sweeping lesson.
Inspired by Johann Pachelbel (not JS.Bach like mentioned by mistake in the intro credit), The mini canon is my adaptation of the famous chords progression. If you are a new comer with sweeping technique this is the right lesson because it’s melodic, sounds great at any speed and also because it’s a classic so you have to know it!
On each chord goes a 16th triplet’s group of notes. Each group of 16th note is the very arpeggio taken from the chord. So you find the same notes. Everything is played over 5 strings.
What is an arpeggio?
An arpeggio is the notes of a chord played separately (one after each other). For example: you can play a chord with open strings and let ring each note or chose to fret each note on a different place on the fingerboard.
What is “sweeping”?
“Sweeping” is a technique where you pick each string “downstroke” for ascending and “upstroke” for descending. Once mastered, this technique allows to play quite fast.
Notice that it is important to play each note separately then. The 1st note must stop rigging when the 2nd note starts and so on.
That’s why it’s difficult at beginning. It’s a matter of synchronisation between the pick and the left hand (fingerboard hand).
So I advice to practice palm mute at the beginning by muting the strings at the bridge with your right hand’s palm so that the sound of each note keep under control.
The “mini Canon”:
Those arpeggios here are made of 3 sounds or notes. Major(1st-3rd-5th) and Minor (1st-3rd minor-5th)
Basically you have to learn one position for the minor and one position for the major to be abble to play it.
What I find interesting in this exercise is that it uses different posibilities of fingerings.
Lets scheddule those 2 bars in 8 sections (1section/chord). [2majors, 2 minors, 4 majors] with 4 differents arpeggios positions. Those 4 positions are the most overknown positions in Shred style simply because they are the easiest ( or less challenging) to play and are very used in neo-classical music.
There a countless variations possibles then but (IMO) it’s good to start with those ones.
1- E (major) upstroke and pull-off, upstroke, upstroke, upstroke, upstroke.
2- B (major) Downstroke and hammer on, downstroke, downstroke, downstroke, downstroke
/!\On fret 16th (D/G/B strings) play with the lefthand 2nd finger. Its difficult to play notes separately then.
3- C# (minor) upstroke and pull-off, upstroke, upstroke, upstroke, upstroke.
4- G# (minor) Downstroke and hammer on, downstroke, downstroke, downstroke, downstroke
/!\ On fret 14th (G/B strings) play with 3rd finger.
5- A (major) same than for the first E section but starts on the 12th fret.
6- E (major) same than for B section but starts on the 7th fret.
7- A (major) same than for the first E section but starts on the 12th fret.
8- B (major) same than for the first E section but starts on the 14th fret.
Memorize all the notes and practice very, very slowly at beginning. Then practice with metronome at slow speed. Remember to play 6 notes/beat for 16th triplets. Don’t mistaken playing fast and rushing notes. You must hear each single note, not only the first and the last. Practice with crunch or clean sound at beginning.
I hope you like this lesson. I want to thank this great website for hosting this free lesson. Don’t forget to bookmark my web site!
