The Canon in D is one of the most beautiful and melodic classical compositions ever written.

It was composed by the German composer, Johann Pachelbel in 1680. Little did he know that his Canon in D would later become one of the most performed pieces of Baroque music.

The simple chord progression, along with a soothing melody, gives to the Canon in D the perfect balance between beauty, melody, and emotions.

It was written for violin but over the years was played and recorded by countless musicians. The song was also rearranged many times in different genres and music styles.

Today, I want to show you how to play it on the Tenor ukulele.

Here are a few things you have to know before you learn Canon.

• 1. The tenor ukulele is tuned like this: G C E A.
• 2. Because of the ukulele tuning in G, the Canon is in G major (instead of G major).
• 3. This version of the Canon is shorted than the original (Only five sections).

If you are ready, grab your ukulele, and let’s get started!
