Canon in D

Johann Pachelbel · guitar tab

The first lines of Canon in D as guitar tab in TabCraft
The opening bars, as TabCraft shows them. Open it to hear it played, follow along, slow it down or change it.

The first violin's melody over Pachelbel's repeating ground bass, in Drop D tuning so the low D bass rings on the open sixth string. A good example of a melody and a bass line sharing one guitar.

  • Drop D tuning
  • 4/4
  • 110 BPM
  • Chord labels
