ballistic3116th May 2008wow nice ..I already know how to play that piece just not that way lol..This should be a blast the tapping runs i love..and so want to learn how to get that down just have a hard time with the lagato and timeing on the tap. great work as allways ...A lesson would be great on that tapping style

Dejan Farkas17th May 2008Great fusion mate
fkalich17th May 2008I waited a day before commenting (as I play the standard arrangement and have no desire to alter it). Actually I like what you did. And generally I think alterations of classic compositions suck. But everyone at GMC did a good job here, which exemplifies what sets GMC ahead of the others.
mattacuk17th May 2008My Hero !!

- mmasters18th May 2008
Muris, you're really hitting the realm of Vai's playing ability here except you're more musical!
skennington18th May 2008Words can't describe your playing man, I don't even try anymore. I just give people a link.
JuanMV19th May 2008Muris, this just gave me the goose bumps! It's incredible how much talent you can find on GMC. I wish I could download this one in MP3 format so that I can listen to it all the time!

muris, do you have something covering the first fret if so could you post a close up on your page or could you explain here. thanks in advance and i love listening to this over and over
Jerry Arcidiacono22nd May 2008The music speaks for itself here!
Awesome Muris!- Muris Varajic22nd May 2008
Cheers
Lliber,you probably think of MAB dampener,that thing on the guitar headstock?
It does cover first few frets but only when you put it in that position
which wasn't the case here,it was in upper position so it doesn't have any contact
with strings or frets. 
Pizzoaro22nd May 2008Wow, really cool!
Gonna learn it now:)
I just have to say i Love ur way of using dim chords!! really cool!
seagull23rd May 2008You just make everything look so damn effortless!
Really impressive and creative!
Nathan33323rd May 2008Amazing arrangement there Muris! If JerryC ever saw this he would probably have a heart attack.

Muris I just love everything you do! In every style, if it's country, rock, jazz, fusion or whatever, you allways write such beautiful and challenging pieces. I can not with words describe how much I love your lessons and thw way you play the guitar but what I can say is that since I saw you, you've been my biggest source for inspiration both with crazy licks but especially with my practice routine. Thank you alot for that!
Really great lessons, keep them up!
//Kim - Muris Varajic26th July 2008
That was very kind Kim and I'm really honored
to hear that my work inspires you!!
Keep practicing and ask if you need anything.
Cheers - Ttask27th July 2008
This evening, I tried for the first time to study this lesson. Now my fingers are almost bleeding, my hands are shaking, all my neighbors committed suicide, but it feels incredibly GOOD. This lesson is so awesome, clearly one of the very best of GMC in my opinion.
- Muris Varajic27th July 2008
Sorry to hear about your hands and neighbors
but I'm glad you're enjoying it,thanks!! 
sigma730th July 2008Hey Muris, Very Nice. Definitely gonna try that when I get better haha I am on it though. But what is that thing on your headstock? It seems interesting
- Muris Varajic30th July 2008
Thanks Sigma.
It's MAB dampener but I didn't use it
for this lesson. 
Emir Hot20th August 2008I haven't seen this one before. Great job as always. Tako ide pjesma

treba mi pomoc!
od 0:56-0:58 ovaj dio gdje se radi arpegios
...sta se radi s pokaznim prstom u ovom dijelu da li ga rotiras na taj nacin da sviras s njim samo jednu po jednu zicu ili njim prekrijes sve zice? ....odlicno si ovo odradio,svaka cast! - Muris Varajic22nd September 2008
Dobro nam dosao!!
Vjerujem da mislis na bare sa kaziprstom,
da, pokrijes dvije il vise zica odjednom,
al ga pomalo rotiras tako da izbjegnes
da ti se sve te zice cuju zajedno.

Is this again with pandora ?
- Muris Varajic2nd June 2009
Yeah.
Kristian Hyvarinen4th December 2009Muris, this is probably my favourite lesson here in GMC!
A couple of reasons for that: This is just beautiful, even though this is shredding. Usually shredding sounds boring if it's just fast. This is also groovy and has been phrased with intelligence.
No way I'm able to do this right now but I swear I will. In two years I'll be able to play this!- Muris Varajic5th December 2009
Hi Kristian!!
I wish to see your video playing this lesson asap, in a year, two or no matter when.
I suggest you to start learning licks slowly, play them slow, let everything sounds nice and clear,
soon enough you'll feel ok to connect them all together and eventually play the whole thing,
keep working. - arpejoes10th March 2010
This is an Amazing Version!
- Muris Varajic10th March 2010
Appreciate it.
- Quibanez11th March 2010
You rock Funtwo his socks off
- hotsoup112217th April 2010
Love the major seventh intervals you use in this one.
Daniel Realpe26th April 2010Timing is so tasty here, the arrangement is great!
- arpejoes13th August 2010
Yeah Muris! i really appreciate your version and i have to master electric guitar to play this amazing version.
Thanx Muris for lesson. - Joseines25th August 2015
This fracking rocks!
- Beckerfan7224th May 2016
What did you use for tone in this lesson? Can you give parameters or settings please. This is the best version I've ever heard of this song.

Hello GMC! For today we have the well known Pachebel's Canon in D! I did a small arrangement on my own and I really hope you're gonna like it. So, the main thing that I've changed is the basic groove, instead of common 4 or 8 grouping here we have shuffle/swing feel. I also break the whole rhythm into half time so the tempo is 95 bpm.
Technique wise, well, I did lots of stuff, tapping, alt. picking, hybrid picking, skipping, 2 hand tapping etc. So I would say it's on Advanced Level BUT as always I'm providing you with lots of slow backing tracks so that you can practice this without pushing yourself above your current limits.
Scale wise we'll be using D major scale and it's components plus D Mixo b6 at one point.
Have fun, practice hard and let me know if you need anything. :)
