If you haven't seen it yet be sure to check out the "Canon Rock" guitar video by funtwo. This electric guitar version of Pachabel's classic "Canon in D" was arranged by JerryC in the style of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra (another great group). While JerryC has his own version I prefer the cover by funtwo. The arrangement apparently requires that you have mastered the skill of sweep-picking, something easier said than done. The video has gotten popular enough that New York Times reporter Virginia Heffernan did some research published in this article about just who funtwo is and, after discovering at least one imposter, ended up concluding it is Jeong-Hyun Lim a 23 year old from Korea who studied at Auckland University in New Zealand where he mader the now famous recording. For those interested you can still download a copy of the original WMV file from the site where it was originally uploaded by funtwo, the Korean music site mule.co.kr.
