Hello everyone! I’m Dan Sindel and welcome to the second half of part four Playing Pachelbel’s Canon in D Major. In our last segment, we were looking at section E barres 19 and 20 and now we’ll finish section E with barres 21 and 22 and of course if you haven’t downloaded e-Book yet you can for free just go to www.ezgtr.com, sign up for the newsletter and we’ll send you a link to download the e-Book.
Here at barre 21 things are getting pretty interesting because what happens is as guitar one is now entering, guitar two is just two measures behind and enters at the same time at measure 19. And if you compare the two measures, you’ll see the written note exactly the same rhythmically. The only thing that’s different is in measure 21, the notes are different and they’re playing in harmony. So, let’s go ahead and look at measure 21. We’ve got the notes F#, D, to E, and let’s play this with a little hammer on. So, the triplet would sound [Demonstration]. So, our second triplet is F#, E to D and then E to D we can do is a pull-off. So that first group inner notes will sound like this.
Now, our second group inner notes once again are a grouping of eight consecutive 302nd notes. We start on our E, C#, D, E, F#, E, D, C#. So that will sound like this [Demonstration]. And we play a little triplet with the notes D, B, C# and we’ll end that little phrase with the 16th staccato note. Now, here we go again, this is the same as barre 19. We’ve got that little section here of two 32nd notes tied together D to E and we’re going to shift to our seventh position and we’ll play the D here. And then now we play that grouping of eight consecutive 32nd notes, so in reality this phrasing is now ten 32nd notes. And that is D, E, F#, G, F#, E, F#, D, C#, G. I’ll play that for you once again [Demonstration].
So measure 21 will sound like this [Demonstration]. Now that we’ve arrived to measure 22, let’s do a quick comparison with measure 20. And we’ll notice once again that these measures are completely identical rhythmically, the only thing that changes are the notes in measure 22 and because once again, this is playing harmony with each other so let’s go ahead and look at measure 22, our first triplet is the notes B, D to C# and the D to C# since we have downward movement and we can create a pull-off. So we’ve got the notes B, D, C# and it looks like this [Demonstration].
Now, our second set of triplets has the notes B, A, G, and since it was downward movement once again, we can create a pull-off with the notes A and G. So that first system sounds like this [Demonstration]. One more time [Demonstration].
Now, for our next system once again, we have eight consecutive 32nd notes starting on the note A, G, F#, G, A, E, C#, D which sounds like this [Demonstration]. One more time [Demonstration]. So those first systems sound like this [Demonstration].
Now, our third system has two triplets once again and we have B, D, to C# just as before then we have D, C#, E. So, that just sounds like this [Demonstration]. One more time [Demonstration].
The last phrase we just move up to the ninth position and we’re going to take a look at our last grouping of 32nd notes, we have eight of them and to officially finish this phrase, let’s go ahead and look at page six of the workbook which would be the first measure of barre 23, we’re just going to play that very first note which is a D note. And that’s going to be the end of this phrase.
So what we have here, our first note is a C#, B, E, D, C#, D, B, C#, and then the first note of barre 23 which is a D and that’s how this phrase ends which sounds like this [Demonstration]. One more time [Demonstration]. Part 22 will sound like this [Demonstration].
All right you guys, that’s the end of today’s lesson. Thanks for hanging in there. And as always, keep the emails and the comments coming if you’re in the user group that we just started and we’ll see you next time.
