It's published on Mel Bay, in standard notation and tablature; I worked pretty hard to notate it correctly, as most of it was improvised.

Just found your channel after being a fan for more than twenty years. Subscribed and thank you for writing this version out; I’ve been wanting to figure out a few passages since college!

"Most of it was improvised". Hope you don't mind. There is a cover song of this, I think, in KZread. played by Russian Guitar Quartet, which kinda says "arranged by LAGQ". Seeing and listening two versions of the same piece, by musicians from different backgrounds and environments, is great. I have to say, I prefer russians to yours. Yours is not worse. You know. Guitar starting from 4:45 is so good. That was the original reason I made this post, to say that. Absolutely great to hear that playing.

This video just popped into my head again after many many years.... Still love it and it makes me nostaglic for simpler times. Can't believe this video is 15 years old already!

Brilliant. I heard LAGQ in Copenhagen some years ago and I was running home to play my guitar. :) Not only are they great musicians but wonderful entertainers too! Good for the classical guitar! Respect, Per-Olov

No matter how often I come back to watch/listen to this video I end up smiling, laughing and just thoroughly enjoying it. They are truly masters of their art.

The best "Canon In D"-guitar I've seen to this day. Canon Rock doesn't stand a chance. I like how they arranged the song and switch between the styles. It's impossible to decide what's most awesome: The country-style solo? The jazz part? The echo parts? The whole performance is absolutely awesome!

Played this in a guitar competition with my high school guitar ensemble and I can say, it is very difficult, but fun.

Was at this concert. Top 5 concerts I've every seen in any genre. Guitarists and non-guitarists absolutely loving it and on their feet cheering.

I saw this amazing show for more than 200 times in these years since I firstly saw it in 2011. I will never forget the beautiful and joyful feelings. Thank you so much LAGQ, thank you William.

These guys are so great! Not only are each one of them amazing players individually but together it's FANTASTIC. Thanks for the post

I loved the banjo impersonation that Scott Tennant did. That last variation was very neat too.

I got some video's of 4 or 5 year old me waiting for the Pachelbel part. Such a nice memory!!

That was a superb performance!

Guitar rules! Agreed? :)

no XD

I remember watching this genius video about 11 or so years ago! Maybe even more. So beautiful, and fun, gives me the same vibes now as it did then! Also inspired me to try and once again learn this song!

That is incredible. Those guys are so talented and look like they are having fun. That is easily 11 out of 10. Fabulous!

This is absolutely my favorite LAGQ song. Mr Kanengiser used to be my instructor when I was in college... way back when. I still play to this day. Thank you LAGQ for rockin' it!

so simple and so beautiful..one of the lovliest melodies ever!

watched it thousand times

I have loved this arrangement ever since I first heard it on their "For Thy Pleasure" CD. How very cool to be able to watch them play it!!!

Enjoyed listening to you in HH!!! Great and thanks, Heike.

LAGQ is great!! I've been listening to them for about a decade and I think everything they do is incredible. No matter what any of the "youtuber" critics ever say about them, they do play a very large quantity of styles well. They are getting so many people to start really appreciating the guitar and what all can be acoomplished besides power chords and basic scales.

They came to my school and gave me and some other students guitar lessons. Amazing musicians and probably the most wonderful and patient human beings you will ever meet.

Absolutely love it. So much fun!!! Thanks, kanengiser, the uploader.

Such a great performance of this peice, wonderful

WOW!! O_O That was beyond amazing! All those different styles of Pachelbel's Canon! Genius! I'm glad I ran into you fellas! 5 instant freakin' stars!

The LAGQ is fantastic! The 'Loose Canon' is gold!

The very first time I heard LAGQ was on PUBLIC RADIO more than 10 years ago. I asked for a cd as a gift and have been a fan ever since. I would never have gotten a chance to hear music like this on commercial radio. Extraordinary talent.

I was lucky enough to see them perform this one live! Makes me really wish I could've kept up the lessons....Mr. Wallach, where ever you are- you were awesome!!!

I heart you LAGQ. I'm a musical purist but you just move my soul. 'Loose' Canon, indeed; I really chortled over that euphemism. Do whatever you wish- you'll only make it better!!

Mil felicitaciones desde Bs Aires Argentina, cuantas horas de ensayo para que se escuche tan excelentemente a tiempo y ademas una interpretacion brillante, felicitaciones al cuarteto!!!

What's this? AMAZING! They played it in all the types of music: classical, rock, country, ballad, latin, jazz! Simply AMAZING! Well done guys! Realy well done! Thank you for the music you offered us!

I had the chance to meet these guys years ago when they came to NC, they are down to earth and can't wait until they come here again.

OMG! Truly amazing! Congratulations from Brazil!

Absolutely sublime. LAGQ takes Pachelbel's Canon in D and weaves it into an amazing tapestry of mixed genres.

this is so good, i must have listened to it about 100 times

I saw them perform this live in Princeton NJ a few years ago, they are fantastic, and afterwards I got a chance to briefly speak with them. All of them are very approachable, and very kind.

Excelente felicito ampliamente a este maravilloso cuarteto LAGQ, I have fallen in love with their Art, amazing. Jesús Alberti Mayoral Carreño Guitarrísta Oaxaca-México
