[Pizuzuzimmer]

@wigni227

They're the people who think endless laughably over-emoting American Idol Mariah Carey wannabes is the pinnacle of art.

พี่ไทย บ้านผมก็เล่นได้ ลอกเรียนจากพี่นี่แหละ 55

[tehS0ulProject]

who cares about the resolution, 240p or 1080p, it's the sound that counts, it could be a black screen for all i care, the sound is beautiful

[infdivinity05]

@tehS0ulProject the sound quality is better too.. -_-

[Zethuriel]

@tehS0ulProject resolution is overall quality on youtube aka the sound is bad quality as well I'm afriad :(

[MClancer18]

@Zethuriel who cares what he is playing is beautiful =D

[Martyfriedman001]

@tehS0ulProject the sound is much better in 1080p than 240p just sayin, I think its cool enough with 240p though ;)

[borobees]

@tehS0ulProject Maybe for you - if you played guitar you might feel differently.

[LordRando]

@tehS0ulProject audio is compressed as well, there is a big sound difference between 1080 and 240

[tehS0ulProject]

@LordRando burst my bubble why don't you...

[berni99887766]

@tehS0ulProject i thought also the sound is better with 1080p?

[AngelosInside]

The way he taps with his index finger ( like @ 2:49) is as if he's scolding the guitar :D

[kingodisco1000]

gitarla şelpemi yapmaya çalışıyo bu amk.

[EscapeThaFaith]

Why the quality is this bad, he seems to be SO gorgeous !

[darrelwylde]

yeah he plays really god but in most of the time he is NOT TAPPING he is just doing HAMMER ON on most of the time. get your video title fixed.

[Cirocoleman]

Bloody Brilliant!!!  It always amazes me how people come up with novel ways of playing the guitar, just when you think every base has been covered.

[TehSorso]

@Cirocoleman Some hobos did this on bass in 2005 or so... youtube it.

[danielskyving]

dude.... make a darn cd and become a millionaire!  =D

[lukelife88]

19 dislike = 19 fags of the earth.

[joshua19896]

wooo que bueno..

[joncool25]

normally i don't like let's kill the people who disliked this video i think it's stupid, but who the flaming fcuk disliked this ? their girlfriends probably dumped them after watching this video

[ThePerbaer]

it´s soo cool, like in this movie with this young freddi boy... something with heart - hmm

[bullshitproof]

holy shit look him work those harmonics!!! this is going in my favorites!

[1PeRulover]

wow... im at a loss for word.

[Yousuck00]

Beast Mode!

[nocturchaos]

... Mmh... This isn´t bad... quite good... kinda overpowered... somehow... I think... lost my thought^^...

[carricod000]

[davidrafael7]

Air tapping- Erik Mongrain

[TheSweetKnife]

tabs?

[yasaswijethilake]

ohh baby!!!!!!!!!!

[settah17]

...and the keytar was born...

[poirepoire22]

That kind of shit only happens in quebec !

[Dornek1]

@NostalgicKhaos Erik Mongrain

[xbjorkey]

19 people cant play guitar! x)

[joshep901]

Yes! he is good but its advantage is that it puts the guitar lying l:

Van halen always had his normal guitar and tapping into the best 20 century!

But this guy is great (:

[Blaine465]

@joshep901 This and Van Halen are nothing alike. You have disrespected this guitar player by even mentioning "van halen". There were plenty of guitarists that tapped before Van Halen.

[DennisDoylefromDS]

How on earth??!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!­!! Amazing

[Dyarkulus]

oh god.

[DamnationGod]

FUCK ME! This is one of those videos that automatically just makes me want to throw away my guitar and quit music. That is absolutely astonishing!

[guitarguy87]

@DamnationGod lmao yeah for sure man

[Soilwar]

@DamnationGod: Please do so & give me your guitar then! :D

[AleksanderLarsen]

@DamnationGod It's videos like this that makes me want to keep playing, and become better!

[AngelosInside]

@DamnationGod I know what you mean bro...

[neilgabzceniza]

HARDER than PIANO.

[clowneg]

who's the performer???

[Soonerborn18]

@clowneg Erik Mongrain

[erikdz]

sounds beautiful

[0ester]

I fucking hate drifting, disliked

[Wellingtonmmvieira]

OMG !!! Eddie Van Halen has created 17 accounts to dislike this video !!!

[Aeroreido]

tabs please

!!!!

[CrsEagleEye]

Me: That's a weird looking bongo

My friend: Dude, that's a guitar

Me: WHAT?! 0.0

[crazymoocow300]

@CrsEagleEye cool story bro...

[RamirArcega24]

he's pianoing the guitar....

[getezra1]

sex is no pleasurable than this lol

[666Motorcrush]

Hey Bro, you're playing the Wrong instrument HAHA

[ltcode2]

how did he DID those tiny pitch notesssssssss???! >_<

[RyanTD123]

@ltcode2 They are called Pinch harmonics, i wish i had the time to explain to you what those are lol... google is your friend.

[masonvonritchie]

@RyanTD123: Not pinch harmonics. You have to have a pick to do a pinch harmonic. Think Zakk Wylde. These are slap harmonics.

[RyanTD123]

@masonvonritchie Same thing, different technique.

[scorpserpent]

@RyanTD123 its different..pinch harmonics are artificial harmonics made by the pinch effect of your picking hand..the tap harmonics arent force but are natural harmonics.

[andyrockmore]

genius \m/

[PL4894]

Holy crap.....that sounds like multiple instruments. This is an awesome style of guitar

[McFacebones]

Search for Erik Mongrain...And find a video of better quality. This song is airtap.

[flickout]

Really great! Reminds me of Michael Hedges (still miss him).

[korinoi]

@flickout that's weird i have a friend named Micheal Hedges.

[rubyhsmkh]

Is the way of tapping that the kid used in the movie August Rush was inspired from this guy????? Would like to know who was first with the idea, this guy or the directer of the movie

[BFtheWave]

@rubyhsmkh Just so you know neither invented this style of playing guitar...

[shimanchunutakara]

nice. a tapper who doesn't sound like a complete tool.

[PUPPehz]

nice but will it blend?

[hombrelubinero]

anybody got the tab for this one?

[SDupe44]

Some things just make ya smile man.

[M3taLLucky]

well eddie van halen is pretty good at tapping 2

[megadeth1056]

The only augest rush did was tap a few natural hermonics with a bunch of slaping this is totally different .

[edneimodesto]

Wonderful! Amazing! Great! That's a truly tapping strings!

[ajay2597]

jes ehh can you sent me the tabs?

[drumforlife720]

fuck those harmonics are brilliant

[Chrismayo1981]

who asked for tabs? are you insane??? i can't even think on this level...

[bvideon]

Eric Mongrain has never failed to impress me :)

[Politack]

his face at 0:38.. i love this.

[fitzy4i01]

Fuck it, i'm getting a triangle ^^

[santakdalai90]

amazing! he's playing it like keyboard.

[AFH290579]

@onetrickgiuta....

You got a fuckt up ego, caracter and the

hole other shit. I think you can play

for shit.

Stupid asfucker!!!

[SimplyFaster]

Erik Mongrain? ;D

[vonmises6]

Two words.......STANLEY JORDAN

[5150zombie]

@vonmises6 true.

[theatomizer]

Tabs?

[zyklon2000]

That dude turned his guitar into three different instruments all at once...

[MetalReigns2]

Not close to the best tapper in teh world, eddie van halen took that position already.

[Redkillahh]

@MetalReigns2 No Jeff Loomis took that position.

[MetalReigns2]

@Redkillahh Yes quite, I was thinking of putting jeff loomis but I thought everyone would be like, HAY DATS SOOOO NOT TWUE! HS JUST A SHREDOR.

[Redkillahh]

@MetalReigns2 Rofl, I thought that too, but then I thought, if he can shred like that, he can sure as hell tap like a motherfucker, and wait nooo, Buckethead should be in the top list, he's mastered 8-finger tapping..

[brillodelagua]

IDOLO!

[Lotsner]

My friend viewed this clip and learnt it in 2 nights.. his pretty good

[p00pynuggeteer]

Vin diesel should play more guitar than make fast cars.

[gase147]

Chuck norris

[soniknynja]

tabs bro...tabs.

[chrisndjames]

It's not that the recording equipment was bad. It's that it had trouble capturing such an amazing piece of music.

[xIAvatarIx]

Soooo, can you somehow tab this to me?
