not only does the music inspire but do you even know his life story??? he was on the streets with nothing......but his guitar and his spirit.....youve come a long way erik and your story is most certainly a reflection of hope and it shines through your music
FFS!! HOW HAS THIS, AND EVERY OTHER ANGELIC PIECE OF ART ERIK HAS COMPOSED NOT BEEN APPRECIATED AS MUCH AS IT SHOULD BE??? The amount of practice, precision and passion that has gone into this and everything else Erik has composed is nothing short of outstanding. Undoubtedly & undeniably best guitarist of all time!! Do your research and fight me..
So grateful for all your music that I have had the pleasure of enjoying ever since I was a kid, and which has inspired me so much in my musical journey. Just can't get enough of your beautiful music style man!
This is one of the best composition that i ever heard. Awesome harmony, rythm everything perfect composed and thought. Sorry my english is not well :P Waiting for more like this. Good job!!
Erik..it s an honor and great privilege to hear your fab guitar playing..u re out of this world...i m speechless..this should be in Guiness Book..as the most sophisticated and complex acoustic job..i think you re very underated artist..what a masterpiece is this and you leave the impression it s easy while is by far so complex..deep admiration
Erik, thank you for sharing your soul. I appreciate the passion in your music and can listen to it in any type of mood or scenario. It's great when I put you on and people start grooving.
Forward? You got it! Acoustic Guitar Masterpiece! One of the best youtube videos in this genre! Stunning unique playing techniques with intense rhythms. The arrangement and melodies are deeply hypnotic. Incredible!!!
Hi, Mr Mongrain, I buy your cd at the day one, the first thing I have do when I woke up. Forward is your best work, to explain what u give to me with your music I need to write a book, so many worlds and dimensions u create. I don't care if in the contest I will not be a winner, is an honor and a pleasure to support u. And support u is one of the many things that I want to do in my life. Take care, and thanks to make my life better with your genius.
Mr Mongrain, probably you're not the most talented guitar player out there, but I can tell you one thing that I'm pretty sure; you're the most expressive musician I've ever heard, you speak throw that guitar, words that can only be told using a heart, Congratulations and thank you From Colombia :D
Sir Erik Of The Great Mongrain you are more than human and you walk amongst the Gods in mount Olympus. You are extraordinary i say mmmyes mnnyes indeed
Un giorno suonerò come te,,sei grande,,,,,,,,, e solo da 4 mesi che ho iniziato a suonare così, da quando questa crisi mi ha portato a fare l'artista di strada,,ciao ciao
Erik si une compagnie de production Montréalaise te contacte à propos d'un documentaire, pense a moi ok? Tousse(cours gratuits)tousse, ou tousse(concert personnel au camp)tousse tousse lolz! I hope you record a live concert cd or dvd in the future, no one plays live like you. Congratulations Erik, you have become a living legend, your story is an inspiration.
Even though I think your guitar tone was better in the last album, Forward has so much depth to it that it was well-worth the lengthy wait. This song's my favorite along with Rhythms of I.
Hey Erik, awesome song and congrats on the new release. One question though: Somewhere I read you wanted to do more composing (film music?), less touring. So, do you want to keep it acoustic, or are you also going to play other instruments or have people play them for you? Also would you do acoustic versions of those and tour with them? :-P regards
When you are faster than an HD camera does that mean you are going faster than the speed of light? If so can you time travel too? haha You are still my favorite musician. This one is genius.

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. I mess around with percussive style playing but you take it to a whole new level. Great work and the song is beautiful.

Definitely! I know a song is good when I don't even notice that I have been carried away until I'm already gone. beautiful!
I am so impressed with this mans musical ability. Thank you for sharing this with us Erik. :)
This is awesome, it sounds like something out of Borderlands. Crazy how all the sounds come from one guitar.
Вы удивительный человек.

Amazing
That's awesome! I just thought that was really shallow of you, but i was wrong!
Sympa à écouter . Bon travail bro' !
I'm not sure, but I think I'm hearing a key change or so at points; impressive in an open tuning.
magistral !
very good music ~ !
A bug could crawl into my mouth right now and I still wouldn't be able to close it because it is so ajar with amazement.
powa powsa powa !! héhé, à plus les loulous !
Erik si une compagnie de production Montréalaise te contacte à propos d'un documentaire, pense a moi ok? Tousse(cours gratuits)tousse, ou tousse(concert personnel au camp)tousse tousse lolz!
I hope you record a live concert cd or dvd in the future, no one plays live like you.
Congratulations Erik, you have become a living legend, your story is an inspiration.
MAGIC!
That is unbelievable.. what he is doing..
Have a nice day.
Even though I think your guitar tone was better in the last album, Forward has so much depth to it that it was well-worth the lengthy wait. This song's my favorite along with Rhythms of I.
Imagine him, Jon Gomm and Andy McKee together....
Très bien!
GENIUS or ALIEN you are simply FANTASTIC! :)
2021 anyone
AWESOME
Love the manners, dude. Awesome to see some people don't feel entitled.
Hey Erik, awesome song and congrats on the new release.
