Yeah he is the most unique guitar player I've ever seen. I wanna see him 20 , 30 years later. He will connect with the space and express the sound through his guitar. Peace
I showed my tutor at college this song, And his exact words were.. "After me playing for roughly 20 years thinking that you're close to knowing everything and one guy in the space of 3 minuets shows you that you really know fuck all." XD Best quote i've ever been told. :D
Exactly, all type of music, no matter what genre, is considered art to someone, in a way that another cannot see or comprehend. Everything inspires someone somehow, so there's no reason for anyone else to hate on any genre.
How truly awesome this musician is. I am amazed all over at the talent out there, just blowing my mind over and over. WHY? Because I see a collective group of musicians that are super-human in the music they bring to us all. Just their vibs alone can make us be "Uplifted" to the higher planes we are all working on at this grave time in our History to attain. Thanks to those that share these gems with us when they come across them. A beautiful thought for the Universe.: -) Peace and Love.
I think the mere fact the guy wasnt nodding his head was probably because he doesnt play guitar. I do not know how someone can not sit there without a smile and a huge grin on their face at the amazement of his playing! Its bindblowing!
Nothing but admiration but this must be considered for both guitar and percussion skills. I love the guitar aspect but I have no desire to play drums on my guitar.
What is it with these Canadians!!! They are all amazing!! I was supprised that all of the 'Candyrats' artist's were from Canada and now i find out that this guy, Eric Mongrain is from there too! I mean what do they feed them to produce music as amazing as this!!
Wow he even went to Japan to perform. すごい、本当に上手だ。どこで習ったかな。 J'aime bien ecouter ca musique, tres differente de tous les autres styles qu'on a aujourd'hui.
Yep : -))))) Really fantastic. Love this genre, using the left and right ends of the guitar in this way, the drumming, sends me to all places all over the world. Peace and Love to you!!
rainsong JM1000 -Complete carbon fiber guitar. Amazing. And again amazed by Eric giving life to this carbon creation. XD (Actually its extremely high-end guitar. Fits perfectly for lap tapping and odd tunes.)
The orchestral piece played at the start of the video is called "Wind of Phantom" by Yuji Toriyama. It was originally featured in the Play Station 2 game Suikoden V.
@Archels Really, that's cool. Montreal is such a beautiful city, I only remember some things about it when I was growing up there so I don't remember much.
On the contrary,i understand what you mean BUT(in an innovative way)i Would compare him to Hendrix , when hendrix started he was shunned for doin things outside the "traditional way" of playing guitar until one day people started to recognise him for his amazing talent Eric is doin just that!, making this instrumnent become more than it is and himself in the mean time! and hell that in itself is the ESSENCE of music , i think Jimi Hendrix would agree...
thanks man! the guy's playing is awsome i have never heared or seen anything like this! i have seen carbon fiber electric guitar but not the acoustic... :-D
High Quality video with amazing audio quality of Erik Mongrain playing Air Tap on my channel or as video response!! If you like this song, you might check it out! Because it's a pleasure to the ears!
@Deadpool601 but this video was not recorded in japan it was recorded in the oratoire st-Joseph in Montréal..tough im sure he went to japan to perform lol ^^
@olasonn thats sad...I mean...you're entitled to your opinion...but he's playing with some very beautiful harmonics to create insane soundscapes...its actually really pleasing to the ears in the traditional sense...but, again, you're entitled to your opinion
well, a few things - look at the side of his guitar. it seems it has a carbon fiber body (light gray lines). Plus it depends on the strongs and tuning. Maybe he uses some silk coated strings (like Elixirs or sumfin). Plus he might be using a different tuning :)
Is this song actually called "Air Taps"? Of all the videos of this guy on RUclips, this song is by far my favorite, it would be nice to know the name of it.
@andzhus1992 i am a "metalist" and i love this...stop thinking that people who like metal don't understand great music....for two reasons : 1 because it's just a stupid prejudice 2 'cause also heavy metal is great music. PEACE :)

この番組リアルタイムで見てた…
感動して中学時代ギターでやってみたけど
全然だめだった思い出…笑
心に響くギターの音色。
この人の演奏が大好きです。
My favorite version of Air Tap!
Exactly, all type of music, no matter what genre, is considered art to someone, in a way that another cannot see or comprehend. Everything inspires someone somehow, so there's no reason for anyone else to hate on any genre.

I have never heard anything like this. Unreal and what a brilliant mind.

Quickly becoming my favorite guitar player ever.

Erik Mongrain , Guitarist from heaven ♥
Nothing but admiration but this must be considered for both guitar and percussion skills. I love the guitar aspect but I have no desire to play drums on my guitar.
Erik Mongrain must be the best acoustic guitar player. All his song is eargasm...
its amazing how he can play with both his hands at different tempos ..great innovator, this guy !!
This is easily the best version!
Head aching after watching this vid...
Damn, Erik's probably one of the best
@FPSKings Agreed all i listen to is rap music and i love this.
amazing, such beautiful music
Seems like it could be one of those song like pachabel's Canno that lives on forever..
What is it with these Canadians!!! They are all amazing!! I was supprised that all of the 'Candyrats' artist's were from Canada and now i find out that this guy, Eric Mongrain is from there too! I mean what do they feed them to produce music as amazing as this!!

this is the most musically epic thing I've seen in a LONG time.
such a well put together piece
Wow he even went to Japan to perform.
すごい、本当に上手だ。どこで習ったかな。

Eric gets great tone out of that RainSong Carbon Fiber GTR!!
I just attained enlightenment listening to this music,
rainsong JM1000 -Complete carbon fiber guitar. Amazing. And again amazed by Eric giving life to this carbon creation. XD (Actually its extremely high-end guitar. Fits perfectly for lap tapping and odd tunes.)
Reinvention of the guitar ? AWESOME!!!
comme g dit sur Erik Mongrain ya un ans il m'étonneras toujours
hahaha love that face of "damn, tone didn't came down" at the end
Such a beautiful sound :) I would enjoy so much playing it jaja
The orchestral piece played at the start of the video is called "Wind of Phantom" by Yuji Toriyama. It was originally featured in the Play Station 2 game Suikoden V.
Amazing!!! Inspiring and beyond all words!
That's a RainSong, isn't it.
Man, I've wanted one of those for forever!
Oh, and also, my brain just exploded.
14 people could not stand the awesomeness of this music.
this is the best airtap ever.
this guy is a true artist, congratulations man ;)
@pear500 It is a Rainsong Carbon Fiber Guitar. Google them. They have interesting tone and tend to be very light compared to traditional wood.
@Archels Really, that's cool. Montreal is such a beautiful city, I only remember some things about it when I was growing up there so I don't remember much.
Air Tap is such a beautiful song. :/
@SgtDecker120 15 people could not stand the awesomeness of this music.
........wow...just.....amazing!
Some freakin talent right there.
thats amazing guitar!!!!!!! omg!!!!!
My thoughts exactly!
On the contrary,i understand what you mean BUT(in an innovative way)i Would compare him to Hendrix , when hendrix started he was shunned for doin things outside the "traditional way" of playing guitar until one day people started to recognise him for his amazing talent Eric is doin just that!, making this instrumnent become more than it is and himself in the mean time! and hell that in itself is the ESSENCE of music , i think Jimi Hendrix would agree...
don't pay attention to my former comment...it was my little brother...this guy is amazing...
you seriously took the words right out of my fingertips
thanks man! the guy's playing is awsome i have never heared or seen anything like this! i have seen carbon fiber electric guitar but not the acoustic... :-D
He's the best.
playing guitar is not about out-doing others. Its about out-doing ourselves..
I heard it when i was a kid when i was 7 from a cracked game. 😂
Finally found it.
I believe you're right. By the time he's middle aged, he'll have this style ultimately perfected.
love love love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
after watching August rush I had to have more
Such talent
ethereal from another world
Amazing talent !
High Quality video with amazing audio quality of Erik Mongrain playing Air Tap on my channel or as video response!! If you like this song, you might check it out! Because it's a pleasure to the ears!
Hi again old freind.. it’s been 15 years
@Deadpool601 but this video was not recorded in japan it was recorded in the oratoire st-Joseph in Montréal..tough im sure he went to japan to perform lol ^^
Yeah, this is really music
And I wanna make this music
Erik Mongrain Rules
correct, plus playing guitar this way hurts the end of your fingers like mad so having plenty of nail will help protect it
Most metalheads like this. I am talking about the kind of metalhead that respect what real talent is...
@olasonn thats sad...I mean...you're entitled to your opinion...but he's playing with some very beautiful harmonics to create insane soundscapes...its actually really pleasing to the ears in the traditional sense...but, again, you're entitled to your opinion
@benelauer I imagine he added some reverb post-recording, but he makes that sound with his fingers and that guitar.
Very special player!
DAMN!!! THIS GUY GOT SKILLS!
@hellheroes1385
the name of that song is "percusienfa"
I know that guy, is coming from Québec province.
@JakeHallofficial It's probably some kind of acoustic with a graphite neck.
I wanna ride that dream..............
Great RUclips in America!

My god, this is shit hot! This guy has got serious talent...
well, a few things - look at the side of his guitar. it seems it has a carbon fiber body (light gray lines). Plus it depends on the strongs and tuning. Maybe he uses some silk coated strings (like Elixirs or sumfin). Plus he might be using a different tuning :)

What is the side of the guitar made out of????
Tapping how to play a tone are herled in nature!!!
the live version are different to the studio recorded ones, not in sounds but in the way it is arranged
@HeyItsThatShaman You´re right, man!
Amazing.
I mean...I love that movie...but still
"All ur notes are belong to us" - Erik Mongrain

@andzhus1992 i am a "metalist" and i love this...stop thinking that people who like metal don't understand great music....for two reasons : 1 because it's just a stupid prejudice 2 'cause also heavy metal is great music. PEACE :)
This is why the piano was invented. But still fuckin awesome.

@Youareyow I think the guitar is a Rainsong carbon-fibre acoustic, sick guitar but really expensive

mind blowing!!!
