Canon in D
Performance Notes
Song Specific Performance Notes
Daniel Ho, on his CD “Christmas Ukulele Style”, recorded this arrangement of Canon in
D. My sister had asked me many months ago if I would record a Canon in D on the
ukulele. Well, maybe now I can grant her that wish. Meeting Tonya Dale at the
Hayward Ukulele Festival also motivated me to transcribe this one because she also had
expressed an interest in a Canon in D.
There are at least 4 ukulele tracks on the recording and I use 5 in the transcription. I also
have labeled each part all the way through the score so it is clear which ukulele is playing
each part. I can’t override the software (which is primarily guitar based) to change the
GtrI abbreviation to UkeI or UkeII so just know that they are identifying the ukulele
tracks. GtrI represents an ukulele that is just strumming whole notes for each chord
change while GtrII represents an ukulele that is playing arpeggios through the chord
changes, which reminds me that Daniel uses GCEA tuning with a Low G on this song.
The low G is required for the arpeggio parts but re-entrant tuning will certainly work for
the chords.
Even though there are so many parts this can sound quite awesome with just two
ukuleles. If one player performs any combination of GtrI and GrtII while an intermediate
to advanced player plays a combination of the other melody and solo lines it will sound
great.
General Performance Notes
Keep in mind that the tablature is just a guideline. I try to transcribe the parts as close as
I can to the original recording, however, that doesn’t mean that I play them exactly as
written. It is hard to duplicate the exact strums that the player is using so I get something
close and go from there. The main reason I transcribe is to learn the song and have a
permanent reference to make it easier to learn the song again after I have forgotten it
months later. I find it very helpful to follow along in the tab while listening to the
recording several times before actually attempting to play the song. This gets you
familiar with the tab as it relates to the recording.
Tablature can be intimidating to some people. Here is a tip I realized one day. Playing
some of the individual fret numbers seemed awkward and uncomfortable until I noticed
that they came from within the “shape of the chord”. So whenever possible fret the
chord and then play the other notes from within the chord. This should eliminate some
moving around and make things a bit easier.
Above all else, have fun and if you have any questions feel free to contact me at [email protected] http://www.dominator.ukeland.com
