The tab is easily found online as well as backing track and plenty of videos in youtube. I recommend &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;funtwo&lt;/span&gt; version over the original &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;J&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;erry C&lt;/span&gt; version. It is more musical, the performance is better, and the fingerings and arrangements on the &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;funtwo&lt;/span&gt; version make more sense than what &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;J&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;erry C&lt;/span&gt; uses. I think that &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Jerry C&lt;/span&gt; overcomplicates things, specially the sweeping arpeggios. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Despite of the difficulty, my intermediate students seem to enjoy the challenge, maybe in part due to the fact that the song was hugely popular on youtube. So, my recommendation for fellow guitar instructors is to pick challenging guitar songs that are popular in youtube. You will be surprised to find that students will be more willing to take on the challenge of learning the songs.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3504377604937549439-2244399258667513961?l=guitarfocus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://guitarfocus.blogspot.com/feeds/2244399258667513961/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://guitarfocus.blogspot.com/2009/06/thoughts-on-canon-rock-teaching-guitar.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3504377604937549439/posts/default/2244399258667513961'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3504377604937549439/posts/default/2244399258667513961'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://guitarfocus.blogspot.com/2009/06/thoughts-on-canon-rock-teaching-guitar.html' title='Thoughts on Canon Rock, teaching guitar and youtube'/><author><name>Luis Gonzalez</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14728388995952421116</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504377604937549439.post-8725559348892004147</id><published>2009-06-02T11:37:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-06-02T11:40:35.621-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Hello Everyone</title><content type='html'>I want to discuss everything about modern guitar here.
