Jeong-Hyun Lim, 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, attending guitar lessons for only one month. "Canon Rock" is a rock arrangement of Johann Pachelbel's Canon in D major by the Taiwanese musician and composer Jerry Chang (JerryC). Funtwo's cover of Canon Rock is the fourth most viewed, second most discussed, and second most favorited video on YouTube. 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 "recorded the audio and video independently and then matched them inexactly."
Johann Pachelbel (1653 – 1706) was an acclaimed German Baroque composer, organist and teacher who brought the south German organ tradition to its peak. His contributions to the development of the chorale prelude and fugue have earned him a place among the most important composers of the middle Baroque. Today Pachelbel is best known for his Canon in D, a piece of chamber music scored for three violins and basso continuo. A tremendous surge in popularity during the 1970s made the Canon in D a universally recognized cultural item, one of the most famous classical compositions ever.
