One of the things I like most about YouTube is that amateur musicians can show their stuff to the world. It is amazing how many young heavy metal guitarists out there are so heavily influenced by classical music. Here's a sampling:

Bach's Toccata in D


Mozart - Sonata number 11 (Rondo Alla Turca)


... and again, on 5 string bass


Mozart - Eine Kleine Nachtmusik


Beethoven - Für Elise


This next one is the fourth-most-viewed video in YouTube's history:
Pachelbel - Canon in D


and finally,
Rimsky-Korsakov - Flight of the Bumblebee
