Juste enorme le progret entre cette version et la nouvelle 2021 bien que cette version soit deja dingue 👍 Monstrueux Tu vends du reve Bravo et continu 👊👊👊
Damn dude. 4 days ago posted this, and I just wanted today to get some nostalgia trip on old school internet. Thank you Matt. Glad you're still alive. God bless you my dude
Hey Matt, I'm 29 and this cover still brings me chills after 15 years. Thanks for being a special moment in my life. I can tell you all I wanted to do as a teen was learn to shred like you. Keep rocking brother
Same here, 31 and 15y back I was in my bedroom with my cheap guitar trying to understand 1% of what he's doing in this vid. Great memories from good ol' times!
2006: come back from middle school and watch mattrach 2019: come back from the office and watch mattrach 2021: come back from visiting the hospital and watch mattrach 2023: come back from doing construction on the house and watch mattrach
14 years already. I was 11 when I first heard this. Now I'm 25 and, I've learned, that my taste is more stable than Japan's economy. Used to be a young adult, now I'm a growned kid. May Rock Live Forever!
I've watched a million different versions of this song. I've watched countless other songs by untold numbers of guitar legends. I was inspired to take guitar lessons. As far as I'm concerned, after more than a decade, this version by Matt Rach remains the standard by which others are judged. Thank you, Matt, for sharing your gift, not only with this song, but also for your continuing contributions of stellar music. Your efforts and abilities and output are very much recognized and appreciated.
Still my favourite version of the canon, I listened many versions of this song by many talented guitarists, they are all great but this... this is so fucking perfect.
Fully agree, this version is so colourful... I'm used to think young guitarists or muscians can be very good but lack of feelings (maturity?) but here it's not the case
I keep coming back to this version after many years. The look on his face when he does the scream on the whammy bar at about 1:40 into the song is priceless. Everyone who plays guitar wishes to have that moment when they absolutely nail it.
My friends played the classical cannon at the beginning of their wedding, and the cannon rock version at the end... totally fit the everyone being "stuffy and uptight" mood that seems to happen at every pre-wedding ceremony, and took it to the "time to party" feel as they walked out post ceremony. I definitely approved...
Love this one i want to play it when i get married to the woman of my dreams and true love babe you are my everything 😘❤️💋😘 and im thinking of singing to her
I was 28 when I first found this video, now I'm 46 and this is still my favourite guitar performance of all time and the greatest RU-vid video ever made, in fact this might be the most beautiful thing that my ears have ever heard.
It was a rainy day in the Welsh valleys, I was 17 looking for new challenges on the guitar when I first came across this. It's a rainy day, I'm 31 and my son is now listening. Thanks Matt!!!
I know Matt's grown and matured as a musician, but the technical expertise and sheer joy of his performance in this video makes this one of the very best. I love this video!
12 years later....my youngest daughter tells me she really wants to play guitar. So I bought her this exact guitar. Because of this video :-) Thanks for changing our lives Matt!
i watched this cover in 2006 and i said this is the best canon rock cover ever made, now i came to listen again on my birthday and it's still the best! Thanks man!
Sebastien BELLAN montre nous ce que TU sais faire ? Je parie que si tu postais une vidéo de toi avec une 6 cordes, tout le monde se pisserait dessus de rire. Venant de toi, qui n'es rien, ce commentaire n'a aucune valeur. Tout ce que tu parviens à prouver, c'est ton incompétence...
Nothing compares to you .. You have a gift for putting in so much emotion in every note and make then your own. Fock .. Im crying like a child everytime I hear this. You can play so very fast, but its when you play those slow clear notes with all there small variations, bends and tecnical masterpieces, im much impressed. Most guitarists just howls of a lot of notes with no feeling. And you can improvise, so it just aint another cover like the original. Fantastic.
Matt Set the bar so hi for back when he did this. There have been so many others who done this since him, but his version is so creative and Randy Rhodes feel at times. Here we are 17 years later. How time flies.
All I see is a guy who's in his own world enjoy playing... so much fun so great! can't believe it's 17 years... This is the first time I have seen it. This is just genius and talent...
This is still the best version of this song on RU-vid. You’ve made hundreds of videos since I first saw this in 2007 but this will never be beaten! Truly amazing!
+kylelandry you found the video that made me like the canon and thanks to which I discovered your channel and your huge amount of canon interpretations. By extension, this the video is the reason why I'm now a fan of you, and you'll be playing my wedding next summer ;) Thanks +MattRach !
Nobody ever shredded like this guy, I used to watch him before I graduated in 2013, I heard the original song on the radio today, and I was thinking, “man this song is missing something” then it clicked Bluetooth came on and I remembered Matt Rach.
I remember back in the day, it was this song that made me wanna play guitar. (Un)Fortunately I found the real love of playing guitar just 3 years ago, since back in the days, I was still a kid who didn't know, what makes me happy in life. During corona I played a lot and had a good progression, so I have told myself, to make this song as one of my main goals for now. You should do the same, go do your thing whatever it be, do something you love in life. Be happy and stay positive, there are entities who try to split the humanity in different hate groups - don't let this happen to you and try to prevent others from doing so. There is no point in hating another person, just because he/she has a different mindset. Don't let all these groups fool you as well. We had this scenario here in Europe around 1939-1945. Have a wonderful day!
1:40 I've seen a lot of music cover videos, but this is the most impressive scene in decades. That's why I've been coming to Mattrach's videos for more than a decade.
This was one of the first videos I ever searched and watched on youtube. Everybody in the music circle of my school were going crazy over it. Whenever I see it now I think if he was that good then, how monstrous is he now? I would rate this THE greatest youtube video. Just my opinion.
One can clearly see the visual distortion from it being digitized and copied multiple times... However the sound is spot on... I have been following from the beginning of the channel as well...
SO DAMN NOSTALGIC! I was 8 when I first saw this video. We had really bad internet connection at my place and I remembered my brother telling me to wait for the video to finish loading so that we can listen to this on our cheap ass speaker xD. My friends were raving about Sungha's version of canon rock but we all know yours is and has always been the best. Wishing you succes Matt!
It's been a long time since I have heard this first time. It was around late 2007 or early 2008, I don't remember exactly, however, shit tons of stuff was passing through me like my youth, my memories, ... , and even some of my friends either. Lots of reasons why people listen to music, however, one of the hugest reason of mine to listen to music located on my old memories is that I can find/remember the scene and me still living at that moment... Miss the old days when I didn't know anything but pretended that I knew everything.
2009: listen to this high as a kite with no job and was literally a bum. 2019: sober for 7 years, have an education, and another education on my way. But still somehow miss the old days a little.
Great stuff.....I guess composer Johann Pachelbel would never have imagined in the 17th century that his composition would have been popular in the internet played on an electric instrument.
He will really be blown away, guitar back then are for non-skilled musicians, fretted instruments are dumb in that era, and yet it is played like this on one.
Just watched your 2021 version and had to come back to rewatch where it all started again. Both versions (and all the other versions you've done over the years) are awesome. Keep in rocking dude.
Matt I don’t know why you aren’t one of the world’s most famous guitarist, to me, you are the best. You deserve millions of subscribers, your ideas and talent is a game changer, the world just ain’t fair.
Still the best version on RU-vid. When i was 12 i used to watch this video everyday and i was a noob on Guitar. Now i have been playing guitar for 15 years: still the same vibes. Thank you!
