[N] To play Canon Rock Rhythm, start with a D power chord on the 5th fret of the A string.
Play this [A] like this.
[F#] So three down strokes.
Then after that, I use my pinky to [E] slide from the 8th fret of the B string to the 7th fret
on the B string, [F#] [E] followed by two more D notes on the A string here.
So it would sound [D] like this.
[E] Next [D#] is an A power chord.
And do the [A] same thing.
