Yay I got a new bass guitar! I literally got it days before I recorded this and was so happy to not have to go up the octave on certain parts for once! Anyways, I recently finished both the single player and co-op stories of Portal 2 and it really blew me away. Such an amazing game, definitely one of those few better-than-the-original games. Loved the development for GLaDoS and the character of Wheatley, and the end song was as amazing as the last one so I had to cover it. I guess you guys weren’t kidding how great it was and how badly I needed to cover it.

Recording this one was an absolute breeze, which gave me more time to incorporate more bends and colors to the overall product. No crazy changes or anything, just metal all the way through. I also treated the lead guitars as if they were vocals when I brought them to the mixing stage, tried some cool reverb stuff and double tracking too. By the way, if you were going to try to put the words to this, don’t. I changed the tempo and extended a lot of sections because the tempo was way too slow for this style of music. I usually stick with original everything, but this time I let it slide for the sake of the arrangement.

A podcast called C-Stick on iTunes featured my Still Alive cover and said some really nice things about me, be sure to check out their YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/user/CStickPodcast) and subscribe and tell them I sent you, and also remind them to ask permission before they use someone else’s work…

Thanks for all the support last week, this week has been a real mess for me but things worked themselves out. I really appreciate how much you guys care. I was still having some problems when I recorded this so please excuse the lack of energy that you guys are used to from me. See you guys next week!

IF you want the mp3 file, search in Ares or Limewire (i’m not sure if you can in iTunes) for: Canon Rock, or Canon Rock in D Major by jerry c

It’s a South Korean 23 year old person that plays Canon Rock in D Major in electric guitar. (NOT ME) In the video has the drums, violins etc.. as background music, but the guy is playing the guitar.

This is what wikipedia says about him:

Jeong-Hyun Lim
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jeong-Hyun Lim,(Ko:임정현) also known by the online alias funtwo, is a 23-year-old South Korean guitarist known for his cover of JerryC’s Canon Rock. Lim has been playing the electric guitar for 6 years (self-taught, though he attended formal guitar lessons for only one month in 2000).

Lim attended Auckland University in New Zealand before moving to Seoul, but plans to return to New Zealand in March to continue his degree in Technology. He says: “I think the quiet and peaceful circumstances of Auckland really helped my musical motivation.” He says that whilst living in Remuera, Auckland he was a musical catalyst.

Jeong-Hyun Lim played and recorded his cover of Canon Rock during 2005. On October 23, 2005 he first posted his Canon Rock Video on a Korean Online Community called Mule.

Funtwo’s cover of Canon Rock had garnered 15 million views, over thirty-eight thousand comments and favorited over one hundred and nine thousand times, as of Feb 20, 2007. It is the fifth most viewed, most discussed, and second most favorited video on YouTube. It has been mentioned on CNN, 20/20, The New York Times, and National Public Radio in addition to MBC news, KBS news, and other Korean news stations.

Many viewers have speculated and thought the video as fake since the music is not in proper sync with the video. Lim later stated to The New York Times that this had to do with the fact that “[...] he says he recorded the audio and video independently and then matched them inexactly.”[2]

Due to the initial secrecy surrounding the guitar player in his video, several other people have claimed to be Funtwo. One of these was Alfonso Candra, a 12 year old classical pianist who performed ‘Canon Rock’ for a small crowd at the Indonesian Embassy in Washington, DC in August of 2006.

The version you can buy from me is close to what I play here. I DID keep a lot of the guitar. So I have a bunch of that in there with cool piano part in the middle where it calms down, then speeds back up into more guitar. Anywho, I hope you like it!

Thanks for the awesome comments.

This was inspired by watching this dude, as you all have probably seen already:

I’m using FL Studio to make the beat and playing on a Korg Triton LE keyboard.

I learned to play guitar with guitarMasterPro.net

Practice, Practice, Practice and get a copy of Guitar Master Pro, that’s how I did it!

Good Luck!
