Timeless (unfinished version)

[edrusharry]

I wish I had a 100th of the talent you do sir, fantastic playing and a great tune 8)

[mRkRaZY23298]

Woah, I am speechless after watching this. I dunno if it's jus me tho, but there is a massive lag in the middle of the video

[skylord081]

a "i bet you cant play this" vid by eric would be REALLY a i bet you cant play this vid xD

[SoilentGr33n]

Érik il faut que tu mettes ça sur un album ou un b-sides ou quelque chose. C'est magique le voyage de cette toune la...

[edgeoflight01]

ummm... why is he not on candyrat?!?!?! he needs to be signed immediately.

[cinemetalproductions]

Hey erick you should make an "I bet you cant play this" video

[yetidude13]

love your music man keep jammin bra!!

[PatrickRyanBlake]

I have been watching forever Eric, you're a gift to the world.

[chorren]

wow

[TheMulinki]

To jest wspaniałe. Można tego słuchać na okrągło. Erik Mongrain jakby poszedł do Mam Talent to byłby jakby Marcin Wyrostek. Ten fragment od 00:24... BOMBA!!!

[TheMulinki]

This is magnificent. I can listen and listen this song. You are SO GOOD!!!

[kainthornn]

Absolutely brilliant work!

[bird9898]

i think it's very good.

[tylernstew]

Your replies to comments make me laugh. Short and sweet. duh! lol

[fluffy3339]

this song is incredible.

you should "un-loose" it

[4b10xs]

that's amazing

in my brain it's more a chilout Simon prosford style .... but a beautiful compositing !

[geeksquad9]

wow. Truely amazing work.

How long have you been playing the guitar?

[chvygrl23]

Great music! I found you today...and I fell in love with your music today. Only one thing that disappoints me is that you charge people money for your music. I think music should be free for everyone to enjoy and experience...but i still love you for your music :)

[mikey053085]

ya gatta eat to

[angelfr83220]

@chvygrl23 Yeah and food should be free too, as clothes ect... how is he suposed to live ? i guess that his music money earning isn't even enough to live. Fucking communist.

[Feddan75]

Then listen to him on Spotify :-D

[daumoro]

@chvygrl23 Music is his profession!

[whitefalcon112]

Hello Eric,

Could you tell me the tuning and the key.. i would like to learn this considering it's kind of a lost song now..

Thanks man.

[erikmongrain]

[a7xzackaryvengeance]

increiblemente bueno hombre....felicitaciones por tu trabajo

[NightmareRitual]

Where can I buy your music?!

[erikmongrain]

my website

[musicmaster555]

@erikmongrain yea dude i love the way your guitar looks, i saw it in guitar center and i knew i wanted it! They way it has graphite all over it just looks so awesome and I'm sure it adds to the tone quality as well

[fetzer75]

super eric! vrasiment une belle decouverte pour moi! lache pas...:P

[TheSnakeRider]

salut erik je sais pas si tu va voir tes commentair mais j'aimerai savoir comment ta guitare est accorder et si c'est une guitare en fibre de carbone merci!

et continue je te trouve extremement bon XÞ

[erikmongrain]

merci de ton commentaire. Sur mon site, j'ai tous les tuning et informations sur mes guitares

[caridooshi]

when are you finishing the song, want 2 hear it full

[elirahlaine]

you are truly the greatest guitarist there is in this genre,

i love your music,it's as though i feel what your soul puts out(sorry if that sounds weird but it is rare to find a player who plays what they feel)gabriella,spanish acoustic at super speed is the only guitarist like you but in a different style,i play twelve string and i wouldn't try do what you do cause i doubt i could but at least i can listen to the original every now and then cause it makes me feel great,never stop playing,

tara

[ericpowell96]

amazing

too bad you forgot it

[zdskate21]

my favorite guitar player... and thats above tommy emmanuel

[marclb]

I do not know why people would give you thumbs down on this comment. It`s you to decide what you love.....if for you, Erik is your favorit...he`s your favorit! Now if you wouldve said that he is "better" then tommy, I could see why the thumbs down (they both are in superior musicians).....For me I`d rather have Erik`s CD playing before Tommy.....But Tommy is a freak of nature.....I`m sure even Erik agrees to this :P

[AGEAGE8]

tuning?

[poxikkk]

i heard somewhere it's same as aerial boundaries

[caridooshi]

finish with this song, I want 2 hear it full,

[7omahshah7]

i love the music style you do. i have been doing this style for a couple of months now and i love it so much. there is an endless amount of posibilities with it.

[tylerguest]

What is that Guitar made out of? looks like carbon fibre to me?

[ChrisCarterOaH]

thats what i was thinking

[wearelosers]

it's a rain song, constructed 100% carbon fiber.

[ChrisCarterOaH]

I thought so

[SupeERwoeMn]

question: did you come up with playing the guitar like this yourself? or did you learn it from someone?

just curious cuz it's really unique and i've never seen it before.

you're really good and God is going to use you in amazing ways to share your talent with others. :)

keep it up.

[Decapithagore]

in an interview he says that he see someone do that thing..not the same thing but similar..he just develop he's style with that technic. Sorry for my bad english im french :P

[MalPro6284]

Decapithagore, your English is sufficient apart from a few errors. It doesn't matter, we can understand you fine. Tu parle l'anglais bon. And my French est mauvais, lol.

[BrandallRock]

Check out Andy Mckee, This is known as air tapping, many different styles have been implemented due to personal styles. Candyrat records produces many influencial artist like Erik Mongrain. This style is amazing and does take unique talent.

regards,

Bryce

[DeathCubeK400]

Check out the man who revolutionized this style of playing: Michael Hedges

[3245james]

That guitars really big... or he's really short.

[pastorkev777]

He is amazing and should look into composite acoustics for graphite and mcphersons for wood. These are the two best acoustics!

[MetaNapour]

Cool song, but i gotta say...

Cut your nails! I bet your mother can't even bring herself to look at you :P J/K keep it going man hopefully we'll catcha in europe sometime, until then im stuck with youtube :(

I finally got Fates yesterday, and the absence of this song is my ONLY complaint. There's always the next CD, though. :D

[RossWildish]

[tripwire81]

[Explendivle]

I am looking migthy forward, to the upcomming of this album, Mr. Mongrain. This skill you bestow is amazing!

[paddybutts]

Looks a bit like Roberto Carlos here wouldn't you say?

Great tune.

[bellsmeg]

i see what you mean, with the roberto carlos, mabey a slight bit of theirry henry aswell, (apart from the colour obviousley)

[dannyjam]

I was gliding over the grand canyon while you played that - amazing x

[Feet0n]

What is your tuning Rockstar :O !

[katcode]

Wonderful, this music is definetly Timeless, still that's the biggest acoustic i'v ever seen! 5

[guitarman63mm]

pushing down on the top is a trick of mine too lol

it's kind of like a mild bigsby

[allenicknamesbesetzt]

wow, you are very creative.. :P

It's a well known technique.. Tommy Emmanuel uses it by nearly every song, and every acoustic guitarrist should know this

[alanbyond]

ça sonne ni blues ni rock, ni variété. du beau travail.

[bomiowichmow]

sa c'est le savoir faire québécois a son meilleur !!! Lache pas Érik, t'a ton son!!!

[zaulkin]

Erik Mongrain and Andy Mckee are among my favourite acoustic guitarists

[waterfulrelaxing]

swet but it need some consentration

[caboose1320]

thats quite a large guitar O_O

[snap23212]

its so sad.....this is one of my favorite compositions, but it's still destined to the graveyard

:(

[Bakratzu]

Wow, I can really feel your passion for the music! You're quite an amazing fellow.

[tt0onnyi]

ichh men i see some videos of guitar but this one is great :P

[Dspears13]

this guy is amazing I don't care what anyone says

[JMCSD]

Most of the time I don't enjoy this style of this guitar but this guy can really feel this and it sounds great. Definitely awesome.

[wolf3326]

[taytay2thenaenae]

[FuckingTeash]

Married yet? lol.

[songsbymikedotnet]

[Blackoniatushinigami]

[kickazz96]

[enzopellarini]

one of the best stuff on youtube !!! like michael hedges, just needs reverb and its perfet.

[nighthawk584]

I have to say your are Michael Hedges on acid. Simply a natural born genius on guitar. Heres to an incredible career I see in your future. Take care. Truly changes perspective on my own playing. WOW!

[JessGassim666]

[skaterduderocks2000]

one of the best ive seen on youtube

[scubasteveisc]

[ragooonb]

To see a program of GONTITI, I came over.

A comfortable tone!

The tone that continues being heard all the time.

(from JAPAN)

[deathroll88]

wow, t'est vraiment à l'aise et ultra fluide sur ta guit. J'aimerais pouvoir en dire autant pour moi.

[gesticule]

quand j'ai appris la mort de michael hedges, j'ai reçu une claque sur la gueule et un poignard dans le coeur; impossible de le remplacer. mais là, je trouve erik mongrain qui dévoile une âme profonde sur la guitare. bravo!

[powerslaveking]
