This is me playing Pachelbel's romantic masterpiece, Canon in D. I made the mistake of trying to improvise about 3/4 of the way through the song, but I'm hoping it's not too noticable. This was a staple when I used to perform at weddings as a classical guitarist. By the sounds of it, I could use a little more practice. Enjoy!

Johann Pachelbel was a German composer, organist, and teacher who brought the south German organ tradition to its peak. He composed a large body of sacred and secular music, and his contributions to the development of the chorale prelude and fugue have earned him a place among the most important composers of the middle Baroque era.
