"Canon Rock" is a neo-classical metal arrangement of Johann Pachelbel's Canon in D major by the Taiwanese musician and composer Jerry Chang (JerryC). The composition contains a variety of melodic lines showing Jerry's style of phrasing his fingers. The piece became popular on the internet after a video of JerryC was posted on Google Videos.[1] The rendition has been featured in newspapers, magazines, and television shows. The re-arrangement was composed within two weeks.
