Happy birthday! 15 years today! CANON ROCK 2021 : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/psyKa7Zmup29gH0.html

Perhaps one of the most badass videos on KZfaq that is still in 240p.

Who’s watching this 2024?!

17 years later and just watched this 14 times on repeat. My god does this ever bring me back to a simpler, better time. 😢

2006: come back from middle school and watch mattrach 2019: come back from the office and watch mattrach 2021: come back from visiting the hospital and watch mattrach 2023: come back from doing construction on the house and watch mattrach

When youtube was about talent and ideas.

Its 2023 and this is still the coolest version of Cannon Rock !!!

2020 and we're all in quarantine remembering this shredder.

best version ever ... 11 years omg

Qui l’écoute encore en 2k24 ?

Hey Matt, I'm 29 and this cover still brings me chills after 15 years. Thanks for being a special moment in my life. I can tell you all I wanted to do as a teen was learn to shred like you. Keep rocking brother

I've watched a million different versions of this song. I've watched countless other songs by untold numbers of guitar legends. I was inspired to take guitar lessons. As far as I'm concerned, after more than a decade, this version by Matt Rach remains the standard by which others are judged. Thank you, Matt, for sharing your gift, not only with this song, but also for your continuing contributions of stellar music. Your efforts and abilities and output are very much recognized and appreciated.

crazy how 10 years ago, we were watching this on a PC, but now we're watching it on our smartphones :) time sure flies.

This played as the outro at my wedding. The crowd went wild. Thanks Matt. :)

16 years later and still one of the best covers of all time!

"J'étais là Gandalf, il y a 14 ans !"

Watched this 8 years ago, was extremely impressed. Just watched it again, still extremely impressed.

I still watch this in 2019. I'm not ashamed, always said "I want this guy to play this at my wedding!"

Came back 17 years later to listen this masterpice again 🤟🏻

who else is back after 15 years?

Still my favourite version of the canon, I listened many versions of this song by many talented guitarists, they are all great but this... this is so fucking perfect.

ah I remember back in the day when all the comments were just people ripping on this guy for having a square head.

I keep coming back to this version after many years. The look on his face when he does the scream on the whammy bar at about 1:40 into the song is priceless. Everyone who plays guitar wishes to have that moment when they absolutely nail it.

First release, 2006: I could listen to this version all day. Years gone by, 2020: Damn! This never gets old. I could still listen to this all day!

10 years later, and 1:40 is still one of my favorite youtube moments ever

This never gets old... ^_^

It was a rainy day in the Welsh valleys, I was 17 looking for new challenges on the guitar when I first came across this. It's a rainy day, I'm 31 and my son is now listening. Thanks Matt!!!

Those facial expressions still get me 15 years later. Keep rockin, man!

After all these years of watching countless versions of this. you are still the best.

A youtube classic!

I was here 10 years ago, I was here 2 years ago, I was here yesterday and here I am again.

17 years later and i still love this video, MattRach

Still my favorite version of all. MattRach You ROCK!!!!!!

I'm waiting to see who is gonna be listening to this in 2116!

I was 28 when I first found this video, now I'm 46 and this is still my favourite guitar performance of all time and the greatest KZfaq video ever made, in fact this might be the most beautiful thing that my ears have ever heard.

16 years and still feels the same chills

2019? I can't be the only one!

I remember listening to this as a 15 year old girl. I'm 22 now and I'm listening this masterpiece to pump me up before my exam. :D

I came here after 15 yrs man. Thank you for your talent.

I know Matt's grown and matured as a musician, but the technical expertise and sheer joy of his performance in this video makes this one of the very best. I love this video!

watched you in 2006 and now 2016 :)

This guy not only practices every single moment but he is very talented. I love his facial expressions. This guy is amazing!

Still one of my fave all time performances. Time sure flies.

Love the pinch harmonic he hits. Remember watching this back in the day.

What can you say, the kid is really good.

2:20-2:30 gets me every time i watch this

OMG ! 15 years have passed! I remember when the video came out and I've been hooked ever since! That is great! great Mat

I remember when i found this and i was 8 yrs old back in the day. This is still one of the best performances in KZfaq 2024!

Watched this 10 years ago when i was 8 and was amazed. I watch this now and im still amazed!

I remember watching this years ago, just remembered it and came back, wow amazing! 20 million! you deserve it man!

14 years later it still fucking rocks

i watched this cover in 2006 and i said this is the best canon rock cover ever made, now i came to listen again on my birthday and it's still the best! Thanks man!

Perfection mannnnn

How could anyone give this a negative? This kid is awesome!

Nobody ever shredded like this guy, I used to watch him before I graduated in 2013, I heard the original song on the radio today, and I was thinking, “man this song is missing something” then it clicked Bluetooth came on and I remembered Matt Rach.

nearly 20 years since the first time i heard this, and I still keep coming back

Tu resteras dans les mémoires de beaucoups de personnes que ce soit en 2019 ou largement plus tard. MERCI !!!

Every time I hear Canon somewhere, this version plays in my mind and I have to watch the video. Today was one of those days

Haven't moved on to any other version of this piece..Still here since 2006.

Man I miss those days so much! Back at 2006 - 2007 when this came out.

watching this in 2015 and still cant get enough of it. This the best improv of the original!!

2006 to 2020 again. It ’s wonderful play: )

15 years after my first watch to this beautiful video, I still play it very often, its so, so good!

its March 2023 and so far still the best version. keep rocking!

This is still the best version of this song on KZfaq. You’ve made hundreds of videos since I first saw this in 2007 but this will never be beaten! Truly amazing!

when you come back after 8 years to this video :')

All I see is a guy who's in his own world enjoy playing... so much fun so great! can't believe it's 17 years... This is the first time I have seen it. This is just genius and talent...

WE CANT LET THIS DIE I’m doing my part

watched this so many times... and still havent gotten sick of it, great job man!!!!

Ahh the memories, I remember when this video was just a few days old. I watched it everyday for months. Mattrach, thanks for the good times!

Matt Set the bar so hi for back when he did this. There have been so many others who done this since him, but his version is so creative and Randy Rhodes feel at times. Here we are 17 years later. How time flies.

I find myself coming back to listen to this gem at least once a year. Have a blessed 2022 MattRach

8 years later this is still FREAKING amazing.

Nothing compares to you .. You have a gift for putting in so much emotion in every note and make then your own. Fock .. Im crying like a child everytime I hear this. You can play so very fast, but its when you play those slow clear notes with all there small variations, bends and tecnical masterpieces, im much impressed. Most guitarists just howls of a lot of notes with no feeling. And you can improvise, so it just aint another cover like the original. Fantastic.

It's been a long time since I have heard this first time. It was around late 2007 or early 2008, I don't remember exactly, however, shit tons of stuff was passing through me like my youth, my memories, ... , and even some of my friends either. Lots of reasons why people listen to music, however, one of the hugest reason of mine to listen to music located on my old memories is that I can find/remember the scene and me still living at that moment... Miss the old days when I didn't know anything but pretended that I knew everything.

I love your interpretation of this piece. It's been so many years and I still return to listen to it.

If i could only play this one song, id play it everywhere. At home, at work, at the train station, in the movie cinemas(=

Didn't know legos could play guitar so well

Still listening in 2023 my man!

imho, the best version Canon Rock at the all time I listened to it 15 years ago and still listen, ty Matt :)

2009: listen to this high as a kite with no job and was literally a bum. 2019: sober for 7 years, have an education, and another education on my way. But still somehow miss the old days a little.

Anyone else remembers him as "Lego head " ?

13 years ago and still the best guitar video on KZfaq I still gotta watch it now and then

INCREDIBLE! One of my favorites with a twist! Great job! So happy with the realization that there are so many talented people in the world!!

Can't believe it's been 9 years already...

Great stuff.....I guess composer Johann Pachelbel would never have imagined in the 17th century that his composition would have been popular in the internet played on an electric instrument.

Daaaamn, I still remember the first time I found this video back in 2009 and was blown away! So glad to see it’s still here!

12 years later....my youngest daughter tells me she really wants to play guitar. So I bought her this exact guitar. Because of this video :-) Thanks for changing our lives Matt!

not sure when i've listened to this but must be 2007-8ish, still coming back to this masterpiece FeelsAmazingMan

This is the best version I've ever listened

I remember watching this 15 years ago. My oldest was just a few months old and in my arms as I played it over and over. It took me three days of remembering to find it. Still one of the best guitar licks I've heard.

Lego head still lives in my head rent free since 17 years ago

ive seen this 100 times now and i still go fuuuuuuck its just so damn goo0d

I saw this video in 2008 and now in 2015 is still the Best canon I hear. greetings from spain!

I personally think this has to be the greatest version and my friend it never ceases to amaze me ! Legend , shine on

I remember back in the day, it was this song that made me wanna play guitar. (Un)Fortunately I found the real love of playing guitar just 3 years ago, since back in the days, I was still a kid who didn't know, what makes me happy in life. During corona I played a lot and had a good progression, so I have told myself, to make this song as one of my main goals for now. You should do the same, go do your thing whatever it be, do something you love in life. Be happy and stay positive, there are entities who try to split the humanity in different hate groups - don't let this happen to you and try to prevent others from doing so. There is no point in hating another person, just because he/she has a different mindset. Don't let all these groups fool you as well. We had this scenario here in Europe around 1939-1945. Have a wonderful day!

It took ages to load this vid, I was 14 years old and came into a new world called "KZfaq". Great seeing this again. Dankjewel!

9 years and still makes me feel chills o.o

This video got me through some tough times 12 years ago. Just stopped in to check on it and happy to see so many others still love it too.

This was one of the first videos I ever searched and watched on youtube. Everybody in the music circle of my school were going crazy over it. Whenever I see it now I think if he was that good then, how monstrous is he now? I would rate this THE greatest youtube video. Just my opinion.
