Canon In D Major

________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________

The original tab here was not bad, but is wasn't quite accurate, either.  This
one is a lot harder, and a little longer, but it is more accurate.  It is set up
with a Drop-D Capol.  If you cannot find one of these, get a cheap $2 capol, and
cut 1/4 inch off the top. Incidentally, this piece sounds best on a classical
guitar.  In this style of playing, it is best to think of the piece as three
different independent lines: Bass, Melody, Accomp.  Let the bass and melody ring
out as long as possible. Graphic file of musical notation (showing proper voices)
and midi file available by e-mail request.
