@dudah I cant name one by mind. but have you seen the movie august rush ? I can already tell you you have not.
Eric is wonderfull – He is also kind he actualy once told me he had natural nails en told me the tuning he used for this song. That said he is not the only one who plays like this ( some guy on youtube plays like this and calls himself the inventor of piano guitar :/ )
That said eric has more song playing the normal way than he does playing this way
Eric for president
He is awsome.
Get this man a chapman stick. That would be insane.
give a name that does it the same way he does please. . . . .
From that musical genius on to. . . oh, Jay Z.
he’s amazing, but he hardly “invented” the style. people have been ‘tapping’ for many years
Absolutely beautiful
Disagree. Justin King is like the Eveready pink rabbit as opposed to Mongrain who is a “real” musician playing with lots of emotion and feelings.
this track “airtap” is years old. . oddly enough i did wonder when/if he was gonna get on jools holland. . hmm 4 or so years later and he made it. . lol. . . . there are better tracks on his album tho
im going to fucking kill you.
It’s tuned to F A C F C F
This guy is good and has a lot of talent. . . . but he doesn’t compare to Justin King. . . . . He is the man at tapping and singing
AMAZING!
@Malitastic LOL . Ok you win. Im sure you have a much more eventful and busy life then me. After all, its not like you seek out confrontation on the internet. . . OH NO WAIT! You do. I wasn’t the one who lashed out at some one simply because they have a different opinion. You were. And don’t pretend to have an important life kid. Because the truth is, you’re a nobody.
Better than me at what? Guitar? I doubt that highly and I never said that you suck at guitar you just suck in general and seeing as faggot and taking my insult and turning it on me is the only thing you seem to have come up with, it obviously proves that you suck. Sorry for the late reply, I just have better things to do than reply to rejects of society trolling on youtube.
everyone who is saying this man is bad has never tried to play guitar normal or this way. Erik is one of the most talented people i have ever seen. you people have to appretiation for legit amazing music.
I’m probably better then you kid. And I wasn’t bashing Erik Mongrain, if that’s the reason for your adorable but incredibly stupid comment, he’s my favorite artist right now. And you’re a faggot which is a complete brute fact
Well then you must suck – That’s not my opinion it’s brute fact.
Damn. . . just stumbled across Erik AWESOME!
I agree to an extent. While its amazing to watch, it gets boring and somewhat repetitive. I like his other stuff much better.
@B3boy – this is as sweet as Carbon dioxide to you?
What a strange thing to say. . . . just phoolin’ with ya. I quite agree.
This is beautiful.
your a TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLL. . .
shall i assume your better and more successful?
boooooooooooring
I really wish there were a show even remotely comparable to Jools Holland over here in the US.
Erik Mongrain has gotten even better as he’s gotten older.
This is great and good to see some “Jools” exposure for such an artist. On a side point, any Nick Harper fans need to email Jools Holland to get him on there! He needs to be similarly highlighted as probably the greatest singer/songwriter/guitarist in Britain at the moment
