Here's a free sheet music PDF of Canon in D by Johann Pachelbel (1653-1706) arranged for guitar. This has been arranged for use in weddings, gigs, or special events. The opening has arpeggios mixed in with the bass to keep the movement going since the original can sound bland on the guitar. I've tried to keep it simple and short enough to sight-read at gigs yet provide some of the classic and recognizable sections of the work. You can also find the tabĀ as a hardcopy in myĀ Classical Guitar TabĀ book on Amazon. Here's theĀ YouTube Video Lesson LinkĀ if you'd like to watch it there.
