It is noteworthy that this video was posted to YouTube yesterday, 4 
October 2012, and today, as I watched it for the first time, it has 
garnered 384,137 views, with 22,260 likes versus 233 dislikes in its 
viewer responses.

If you haven't been closely following Sungha Jung's YouTube fingerstyle 
guitar releases, here is a link to the one he published 2 October 2012:

This link is to his latest performance of Canon by Pachebel. Yes, there 
are many other performances of Canon on YouTube, including some by 
Sungha Jung himself, but this acoustic guitar version is particularly 
enjoyable for just what it is, a fine rendering of a well-known score by 
an accomplished performer.

Just for comparison, and a musical change of pace, you may wish to 
review Sungha Jung's performance of Canon Rock on an electric guitar:
