WHAT

HOW DOES IT EVEN

ddhdfsjfhjsafsauy

:C

please stop being good at guitar

i laughed really loud out of amazement and confusion just now and my brother was really weirded out

[anythinguploader]

good job

[sluttynubs]

what tuning are you in

[steadysonance9]

hey bud.

nice work,

a little tip to get your harmonics to sound better:

if your lookin down at the guitar, slant the body a little farthe away from you so youre coming down with your index finger a little more of an angle.

I've been trying to perfect the freakin harmonics for months also. maybe this'll help.

[yourmumgavemehead69]

You must be hitting it too hard.

[mhstofman]

sounds fantastic

what is the tuning of your guitar?

[jkshoujk]

It's not "Erik Mongrain" style, it's called Lap Tapping, and it wasn't even invented by Erik. In one of his interviews he said he passed someone on the street using the technique so he tried it out.

I liked it, but you need percussion! ;)

[Clarkedj2140]

You don't need a percussionist,

you need a sense clear sense of rhythm.

Or to use a different word, you need a clear sense of the pulse.

Basically you need to count.

And give it some more passion too.

Otherwise good though :) keep up the hard work.

[jkshoujk]

Not a percussionist, but PERCUSSION.

He didn't drum enough is what I'm saying ^^.

[Clarkedj2140]

Ok - fair point.

[yourmumgavemehead69]

You use rhythm with lap tapping it sounds like shit. You need to be free.

[alexanderjameswright]

cool i like it ;-)

[djpoppyt]

I liked it. It had a very good feel.Much better than a chord progression made up of power chords which personally i dislike. You've got something good going on keep it up.

[Rachenviel]

Not nearly as good as Eric himself (who is?), but good enough :)

[stagethreesleep]

got a nice flow kid. now start messing with your left hand and youll be set.

[george14141414]

how long did this take u and how did u learn??

[robrechtmathues]

its just amazingly preformed tap harmonics,

[blueredfred2]

not half bad!! :D

[metalife2006]

that's not just like erik's tapping but you tried to do it ... good

[TheLevy666]

Not bad at all..Better than I could do XD

[diamond1234567891011]

50,000 views, how the fuck!

[shredman18]

its an EAEGCD tuning.

its a bit different then erik mongrains

[twelvehaha]

once you get your right hand makin real chords and hammer ons / pull offs you'll be alot closer. good work tho man, just found out about guitar tapping today and ive been playing for 7 years LOL..... good work.

[bonna3444]

how is the tuning for air tap?

[BADsnack1]

you suck!

[apricotjamm]

do you have to have an elctric acoustic to play air tap guitar??

[xenoz99]

Sono stato toccando per tre mesi ora è awsome

[kieranblacker]

What is the tunning

[jamietom]

FACFCF....

[earthbenderzore15]

how you guys play it like that,i dont understand the dynamics

[Prettylittlebang03]

fukin amazin man, ive been playin guitar for years and i could never imagine playing it lyk tah :D:D:D well done

[bubbletea1027]

what is this called? like is it just called guitar tapping?

[Blacklabel1011]

All you did was tune it correctly, and then hit random harmonics.

[TheOrangeMrJulius]

And your point? :-)

[alkalinetrizzle]

very nice, very nice indeed, but yeah, throw that right hand into it man. sounds good

[AnimaRaptor]

Not bad at all, I'd make more use of that right hand though, you'll get a lot more into he melody

[kentboboss]

ué eric mongain style, ya encore beaucoup de  taf quand meme

[chosen11979]

Buy another one you rich mothafucka

[RenderedGore]

Fantastic mate.

I love listening to Erik Mongrain - he's probably one of the most skilled guitarists in the world, especially in his style.

Not really as good as Erik Mongrain, but I try! Lol! very good job!

Loved it, 5 stars.

:)

[Skunkface909]

Good effort mate. Certainly better than I can do. Keep practising!

[Discofreestyle]

bravo

[omochicken]

Lol, valiant effort. xD;;

It would years upon years to play like Erik Mongrain, and quite frankly, I think it's good that you could get a melody going. All these flamers don't know what they're talking about.

Keep it up man. Haha, you've got a long way to go yet, but don't we all? xP

[deadeyeselh]

that was pretty good, keep it up dude!

[noahnauman]

its decent dude. keep at it. if you can get that left hand in there with some chords itll be alright

[jimimarshallhendrix1]

Needs a little work but sounds good man. Keep at it

[vegunited06]

:/ pffffffft

[twatbrain]

tel you one thing, its better than i could probably do

[nemesis21h]

he's really awesome!!! still, i can't believe his fingers never get hurt and stuff from all that tapping!!! those are some real hardcore taps!!

[misfits0772]

[headhunter1996]

[ARRASER]

YOU'RE GETTING THERE LAD!

[328281]

[BlueFocks]

[BXC747]

Not bad, I just was enlightened of this style today and plan on trying it eventually...

[CtrlAltDaLEET]

[soccerblondy512]

[guitar993]

[gussie01]

Yep,,thats the stuff alright. Good work, if you get time you might send me the tuning.. thanks

[shucakan]

[RyanTzor]

keep your left hand more interactive.. just takes practice my man

[NarutoXHinataXForeve]

Is that guitar acoustic?

Also..What song is that? its sick!

[liadon666]

are you serious ????????????

it's a classic guitar...song improvised..I guess...

[cr4zyvi3t]

you suck. you need to have your hands cut off. noob.

[RyanTzor]

don't reticule attempts...

[GhostGuitars]

not bad, what tuning did you use?

[ching2tht]

man u sud create ur own song in tht style, cos its deffinatly got a better melody to mongrain..

[TDAYADT]

That's awesome.

~Mike

[kiresnikpmot]

pretty cool man

[pisgahfall]

that very good, you could take it to the next level by throwing in that left hand, but its very difficult! 5 stars

[Xaederaz]

Wow, really good! You should practice, practice, practice and practice some more, and you will probably just as famous as the real deal. Good luck!

[elcaptaina]

well done mate, I've played guitar ten years and never lap tapped and i think you have done a better job than i could have. so keep going and don't listen to any negative comments your great.

[tehdarkcloud]

Very cool. It's not bad. :)

[alexdepuyricard]

good job

[MickyAleman]

yeah ! its a great job man ! congratulations 1 but i think you can do it better. =)

you're great. playing this way needs a lot of creativity !

[shailin1204]

YOU DID A GOOD JOB!

and keep practicing and you can become Erik Mongrain one day!

just believe yourself and believe the music!

[Kiaser17]

thats actually pretty good for not bein pro. well done sir

[magriyou]

you can do better

[greenfalco2]

your getting there! keep practising ;)! ignore ignorant people

[volperastajazz]

very little..must little!

[sabusta]

i ve just 1 question...can u play guitar?

[nixiki]

nice video! SUPER!! PERFECT!!!

[nededdie123]

excellent effort man

Great likeness to the style

don't listen to anyone who puts you down

You keep going for it man

xx

[JLMendo]

GO!! 5 star for you!!! practice

[langerCAN]

u have kinda the right idea, the main thing is to use hammer-ons, and the tuning idea is right - erik often leaves the root note ringing while hammering the other strings then hitting individual notes and strumming. right idea though, just keep experimenting and you'll get it eventually

[JamesMountford]

All you nob heads with comments like "what the hell was that supposed to be" shut the fuck up, also the guy thats like nerr nerr "your supposed to be in this tuning" you shut the fuck up as well.. the whole idea is to be experimental.. there is no set way to do it, leave the kid alone... hes 13 and pretty darn good.

[2theunstop]

Thats pretty good dude keep up the good work and you'll out play all of'em.

Hey all in the New York area Erik Mongrain Is Playing the in the City with another great guitar player named Matthew Nichols(look him up) at a sweet place called the Monkey on June 30th. Im not associated with them just a fan.

[vonjager]

what the hell was that supposed to be? Look, I can beat my fingers on the harmonics randomly! Learn how to REALLY play, then try again. ;)

[discodoug]

Yeah, but notice how it sounds quite similar to what Erik does. It's an easy style to imitate with decent results. "Oh, he duz hammer onz, ur a god man". Gimme a break. Keep it up shredman18, you're on the right track.

[clemsonfan00000]

Yeh he did notice that. He wasn't insulting him, he was being incouraging,quit being such a prick

[shailin1204]

well,can you do this!

SHOW THE VEDIO,MAN!

or just shut your damn mouth!

[vaitriani]

well, try more rythm not only harmonics

[rubiks4x4]

it not that tuning man. air tap is done in FACFCF tuning

[shredman18]

its a EAEGCD tuning

[barmes09]

what tuning do you play in for that?

[barmes09]

what tuning do you play in?

[Durbanplaya]

it's ....ok.... but go look at some other erik mongrain tributes to see how to do it (lemmingleper in particular)

[JeffreyCarpenter55]

Hey min it's Jeffrey. Dang your'e pretty good. lol you prolly think I don'tknow you but we have 6 period geometry together. and everyone he is 13 Iknow him in real life.

[mopkid]

cool.

[dgarTCA]

its a good start, and its always good to try to learn new techniques, but let it inspire u to know that there are so many things u can do with music, and we should always be trying to make something new ourselves

[HappyJuiceMusic]

Not bad at all, keep it up :)

[metalhead8465]

thats cool dude
