Pachelbel's Canon on Electric Guitar
They should sign up this JerryC guy for one of the bonus tracks on Guitar Hero II:

The backup arrangement is kinda so-so, but DANG I wish I could play like this.

EDIT: The guy in the video is only doing a cover of the original - not that it makes his awesome guitarist skillz any less l337. To give credit where credit is due, here's JerryC's website:

He has videos of himself (also playing in his bedroom, apparently) doing Canon and other musical pieces, all of which are pretty dang good. Check it out!

Not everyone can play the electric guitar as well as this guy but with some practice the guitar is far from an unapproachable musical instrument. Take some time, buy the right electric guitar, and you could learn!
