ejp626 Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 (edited) I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere in the forums, but this is pretty funny. Rob Paravonian shows how basically half of today's music uses the chords behind Pachelbel's Canon (or Pachabel's Canon). It's worth watching to the end.

mikeweil Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Nothing new to me: An old friend of mine discovered just that when he started writing a guitar harmony book a year ago. There are some chord sequences, many of them popular in the baroque age, like the ciacona, passacaglia, follia etc., that go back to very old folk songs and are simply logic and easy to memorize and play. The one the Pachelbel Canon in based upon is one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
