Pachabel Marries Metal

I have long thought classical music, if properly arranged, would excel in the metal setting. Instead of a chamber orchestra we have a metal band in place. What would great string music sound like on an electric guitar? The guitar and violin have roughly the same range and are similar enough that I thought it would be perfect. Two years ago at HoneyRock, a Service Teamer played part of Vivaldi's Summer Concerto on the electric guitar and it was great. Now I found something even better than that fragment: Pachabels' Canon in D....on the electric guitar.

Watch it for yourself (and note how many views/comments it has).It is amazing. If your interest is perked, search for Vivaldi and Bach metal arrangements...you won't be disappointed.
