pippy Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I enjoyed that! Thanks for posting! Classic... Almost Literally. Well, Baroque at any rate. OK, so he added quite a few twiddly bits to make it a bit more interesting but that, in essence, is Pachelbel's 'Canon'. P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btoth76 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Hello! Almost like Izzy's original post - with some frustration involved. :D Cheers... Bence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Figured this is appropriate as well... Funny stuff! I've seen an hour-long documentary where they traced the influence of the 'Canon' in popular music and it is extraorinary how many tracks follow the progression - from fairly loosely to copycat stuff. But then again; for all we know Pachelbel might have been copying someone from even further back in the mists of time.... P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabs Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Haha lol.. funny.. In pop is 4 chords... In rock its just 3 :) How many songs are just G D and C :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Farnsbarns Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Haha lol.. funny.. In pop is 4 chords... In rock its just 3 :) How many songs are just G D and C :) Nope, all good rock songs are in A. I thought everyone knew that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 Figured this is appropriate as well http://youtu.be/JdxkVQy7QLM That was good. Part of the reason I posted this was...it reminded me of the post I made about, "ever written a song and thought it had been done before?" People quickly pointed out there's only so much we can deviate from what we've heard hundreds of times. Well, there may be other chord combinations, but boy do these songs drive the point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I've always said if it ain't baroque, don't fix it. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennis Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Pachelbel's Canon is a bit more elaborate than these 4 chords, it starts similarly but in full it goes: D-A-Bm-F#m-G-D-G-A There are lots of these "cliché"s, to use the term as it's origin, that make up almost all modern music. such as I-IV-V like the 12 bar blues progression, I-VI-VII like every single Iron Maiden song, and the closely related I-VII-VI like The solo and finale on Stairway To Heaven and All Along The Watchtower, etc... This 4-chorder is probably the most used one, but if you go through all songs ever made you'll find almost all of them use at least one of a handful of patterns at some point. As a comparison; a lot of paintings contain the same color combinations as the Mona Lisa.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis G Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 E-major (C# minor). But in "theory" the scale is I (Major) ii (minor) iii (minor) IV (Major) V (Major) vi (minor) vii (diminished) Given that, I'd say it would be C#minor, not E Major, but my knowledge of theory is just enough to be dangerous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis G Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Yes ...but...what are the chords? Well, theory notwithstanding, the easiest thing to do was to pick up a guitar. I'm saying he's playing A, E, F#m, D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Funny indeed. The non-live version of this was posted here a while ago. You could easily do one of these with G,C, and D too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
