  • 18 people can play guitar much better than this guy. phhhtt

  • this guy is like the ferrari of all guitarists, a game changer, simply awesome.

  • steven steven bo beevin

  • Comment removed

  • im not saying its not amazing tune .. just pointed out similarites who cares hes amazing though you cannot deny that!!!!

  • reminds me of michael, micheal, michael a little. definitely influenced by don ross, there's no question about that. 

  • Rip-off? Rly? Still unique(?) -> Hells yeah. This is defo harder to play than Drac and Friends, so go home fellahs. It's one hell of a tune, and if it's only a matter of taste wich you like more, then he did a damn good job. I've been playing Drac and Friends flawlessly for a long time, so listening to this now is still amazing. Not quite as funky as Drac and Friends, this is more soothing and laid back. Erick you created a masterpiece, no doubt!

  • Don ross influence, yes for the groove but this song is completly different from drac and friends

  • wow!

  • Dracula and friends... antoine dufour... and mr don ross.. . deserve credit for the structure!

  • @magiclovefillmeup lol, that's nothing like antoine dofour... you should learn a bit about music

  • @magiclovefillmeup your an idiot

  • @StevenBoBeevin haha hey atleast im not american! isn't that the idiot capital of the world ?

  • @magiclovefillmeup no. this whole planet is the idiot capital of the Universe. So don't get your hopes too high bro. we are in the same boat. sinking. so stop arguing who is sinking faster. and i assure you there are enough idiots in every part of the world.

  • @magiclovefillmeup Canada ftw

  • DRacula and friends rip off!

  • WTF Dracula and Friends !!!! ? way to similar for my liking!!?????

    Antoine dufour! don ross!

  • WTF Dracula and Friends !!!! ? way to  similar for my liking!!

  • peckaaaaaaaa

  • omg tabs someone???

  • i discovered turnbull few days ago and now i just found again the reason why i begann to blay on guitar ...

    ...to get laid XD (joke) (but it works XD)

  • @TheEdoooOOO 'da man can swing, tist, flip and courrumba!!!!!! phoen-tectically speaking of course.... this guy rocks.

  • instantly sounds similar to Don Ross's "michael michael michael". still enjoyable but i think some credit should be given..

  • The harmonics mixed in with the picking on this is simply outstanding!

  • Michael Michael Michael?

  • Its maybe heavily influenced by don ross but it is still a cool tune. Everyone is influenced by someone, it's almost impossible to be totally original these days.

  • Ripping someone off is pretty rash. I think of dozens of artists when I hear great guitar music. All with some similarities and like qualities. Erick Turnbull, Erik Mongrain, Don Ross, Andee Mckee, Preston Reed, Antoine Defour, Kataro Oshio, Tommy Emmanuel, Doyle Dykes, etc. I mean it goes on forever and ever. You could compare them and contrast them all, all day long. The only thing they are ripping off from each other is, is that they are all exremely passionate and epic guitarists.

  • no im a guitarist and i have no idea who don ross is

  • I can see what dude was saying about it being a don ross ripoff. I see plenty of similarities but it was still very enjoyable. Meh.

  • Cool ! Grovie :)

  • damn. I've been listening to this on my pc speaker since you made this video. Much better with a good set of headphones. excellent sound range for a home setup. hehe

  • friends and dracula..

  • I dont want to be a hater...but this is a don ross rip off hehe:P he could have been WAYYYY more original .

  • @ViniHendrix23 I don't think you can hear music very well if you think that.... I mean some songs sound a little similar but I mean.. I just listened to drac and friends and it doesn't sound anything alike... stfu and enjoy it.

  • @iamrobertpaulson I m just sayin' it could be more original ...if you cant hear it ...thats your thing.so no i wont stfu . opinions are personal and by the way ive been playing guitar for 11 years...i know a thing or 2 about it. so stfu yourself dim wit

  • wow, i want to be that good, i just need about 15 years spare

  • Wow. That was flawless. What genre would you put this style in because that is what I want to play.

  • @smithson876 that'd be fingerstyle guitar. Although, it would probably take years of practice before you can even attempt something like this. Good luck. :P

  • Yeah man.... I would get trained classically as a start. That will provide you a great foundation to build fingerstyle off of!

  • Ya I'm pretty solid with fingerstyle, but mostly folk and bluegrass. This seems to be a blend of every fingerstyle out there.

  • I consider fingerstyle to be that very thing.... it seems like most fingerstyle guitarist incorperate classical techniques, with other genres... blues here... possibly the rhythmic drive of rock.... also finger-tapping is usually characteristic of fingerstyle... none here really. Regardless... as soon as my recital is done this April I'm learning this song!

  • This reminds me a bit of Drac and Friends.

  • yeah definitely the beginning.

  • been watchin again...still love it.fuckin marvelous!

  • hmm i hear a bit of don ross in there, it sounds great!

  • sounds a lot like victor wooten bassist for bela fleck and the flecktones

  • Fuckin badaass!

  • I dind't know you were on Candyrat..

  • I have yet to find anything I don't love from Mr. Turnbull. It would be so cool to be able to handle the guitar the way he does. Its beautiful, magnificent!

  • this kinda reminds me of drac and friends.

  • This guy has completely changed my perspective on how a guitar can sound - such an inspiration.. ♥

  • @dappiduck anyone who's music is on candyrat.com is amazing

  • @dappiduck Indeed, this guy has got the funk..

    I can dig it...

  • Welch elegante Geschmeidigkeit der Finger

  • love it!

  • yea..!! that's groovy

  • the harmonics are tight

  • OMG Yah I gotta get this guy's stuff..

  • Anyone knows what mic he's using in this video? or what audio effectsdid he add to obtain a funky-bass audio like this?

  • My gut feeling on the mic he's using is a Rode NT4, a nice stereo large diaphragm condenser. It's got a frequency range of 20Hz to like 20kHz.

  • This guy, I heard June tune right, and so I am like the shit is sick..I got to buy the album.....so I am at pay pal and I pause and think...ok lemme make sure and check some of his other joints...and hearing this only confirms it. So, like tomorrrow Ill be on my ten speed bumping this shit in my ipod and dude shit is only ten bucks? heh I feel like a saleman but really...I live in hollywood and hear a lot of wannabe talent, and this shit is good stuff. Give props where props is due.

  • OMG thats the funky shit!

  • Yeah so far this is the nicest cat from candyrat. I mean they are all nice but if this song came from this cat brain its like I bet you sees the music.

  • MAN I WANNA FUCKING DANCE

  • ive heard a bunch of imitators but noone plays it as smooth and effortlessly as ET. im not a critic, just know what i like. this shit is badass.

  • You finger pickers must have the cleanest nostrils on the planet with precise structure like that.

  • "cleanest"

  • Funny, right!

  • Sounds like Donny

  • i play but how??

    theres just no way that should be allowed

    much RESPECT XXX

  • Please make a tab for this song times 1 gabillionzillion!!!!!!!

  • qué pirámide!

  • Candyrat kicks ass!!

  • For the love of GOD! Please please please (a thousand times please) make a tab for this song. I must learn how 'you' play it.

    I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

  • You can get it off the candryrat website. No it's not free, but it is worth it.

  • I have a purchased from candyrat before. Bombachecka is NOT on there (at least not the tab) if I am wrong please PLEASE correct me by posting the link

  • it sounds so easy ...

  • written by erick him self, but if u listen close u can hear a little don ross style and a little trick from a song named dracula and friends

  • sounds like erick turnbull

  • looks to me we have the same last name, that must be why you're so good ;D

  • Super sounds like Don Ross. Very good song tho. Definitely sounds like the Don had a huge influence on you my friend

  • Sounds like drac and friends...:)

  • yup ... a bit faster....

  • Lol no it doesn't you guys are slow.. This sounds like Erick Turnbull

  • it is erick turnbull with some "drac and friends" rhythm and style in plucking"...different notes but similar plucking style to draw friends.:)

  • the beginning mostly

  • come on....the plucking style does have an influence of drac and friends...and what's this saying that i "sound retarded for thinking so"? that's so politically incorrect man..some people are born with medical conditions like retardation..i have a friend who has such a condition...You use the word "retarded" so negatively...please be a little bit more sensitive..

  • Awesome song!

  • Don Ross influence?

  • @bootcamp661 haha yea it sounds like most of don ross's songs do with a few extra flares in there.

  • @bootcamp661 Practically every guitarist has a 'Don Ross influence,' after all, he is God.

  • @bootcamp661 Just maybe alittle, eh?

  • @bootcamp661 HAHA... the beginning is clearly too much from dracs and friend

  • @bootcamp661 yes, i'd say ross...xpecially rythm section

  • still awesome tho :)

  • yeah i was gonna say, Drac & Friends slightly.. heheh

  • stfu and enjoy the son, it's not the same.

  • Drac & friends II yeaaaah baby

  • very nice

  • living with problems, heh mate?

  • rewelacja!

  • good job buddy!

  • Enjoying being shocked from unpredicted ways of playing beautiful songs . The mix between the groovy rhythm and the romantic sense is amazing. Man you are good

  • shit hot.

  • his head kind of looks like the end of a guitar string. I think its safe to say that dons high E popped and along came "E"rick

  • woah, amazing!

  • That groove is incredible!

  • awesome rippin

  • i like

  • Can someone say Drac and Friends by Don Ross lol. But seriously, Erik is a kick ass guitar player, but this song is really heavily Don Ross influenced. still 5 thumbs up though.

  • I don't understand people keep comparing those two. I play both, I think they are quite different.

  • this guy is the most don ross-y of any of the candyrat guys I've heard... what don (and erick) apprently miss with the hedges style stuff is that his music was more about gymnastics... these guys are all missing melody and composition. their "compositions" follow a rigid vocal-style structure of verse-chorus-verse-chorus-brid­ge-verse-chorus... gets a bit monotonous after a while :(

  • Beautiful!  You've got that guitar just singing.

  • That was awesome =) If there were only tabs for this.

  • Yeah, I'd love tabs for this, I feel it big time.

  • me too, why don't they listen to us

  • Dis is dat shit man- BadASS

  • Nice tune. Some Don Ross influence floating around in there, but definitely has Erik's blood in it's veins.

  • OK thats a given.. Don ross has inspired a lot of people. But still Erick plays his own way.

  • sorry for my bad english everybody.i hope it s expressive.low c is great too

  • nice music!!congratulation for him if he was the compositor

  • why theres so many people here who think of themselves as being so important?!?! lose your ego u stoopidz. anyway, from what you say one can make out your not musicians

  • ......... ;)

  • good job man ;)

  • Right, Don wrote every single song of his before Erick was born. Good logic MihaZ. Who cares really when we can just sit back and enjoy the music.

  • Who's to say Don wrote his stuff first? Remember that Erick has only recently come into the spotlight...doesn't mean he just started playing. Keep rockin Erick!

  • Don was playing before this guy was even born. Your logic is flawed lol.

  • You, sir, are a moron. Guitar players of the old inspire new gen guitarists. That's how fingerstyle evolves. It is not necessarily copying if you use similar playing styles or techniques. Plus, Erick alone gets credit for this song....he composed the damn tune. And if it 'sounds' similar than try comparing the tabbed versions of the songs. You'll be in for a surprise. NOOB! FUCK OFF!

  • How about you actually spend time understanding what I said? I never said he stole something, I only stated, and provided a proof, and this song looks very similar to another one. I got his CD because he's a quite talented guitarist, some of his other songs are very good. Also, insulting people on internet only removes all of your credibility.

  • I've been playing guitar for 13 years as well as cello. I'm not professional, but I know what I am talking about. Comparing the tabs is useless when you can hear the actual song.

    Looks and Sounds are perfectly correct words when it comes to say an opinion.

    Credibility is important, even on youtube, just to make sure people aren't playing with you because they think you are a clueless idiot. Lucky I am bored, otherwise I wouldn't even give attention to your opinion.

  • I said it was useless because you can listen the damn song. There is a major difference between theory and actual playing. If you don't know that, well, keep your opinion, but it's obvious wrong lol. Please listen Dracs and Friends and tell me bass line, playing habits, etc don't sound similar.

  • I kind of like black people.

  • You do got a point. I mean the songs are different but they have a lot of similarities. As well as a lot of songs though when you really listen. Evanp2pixel is a fucking retarded he has no idea what he's talking about. All tabs are different anyways. lol.

  • i like cheese&macaroni

  • HI, just for know: what is the kind of guitar did you play on this video ?

    nice;)

  • to put it simply, perfect shit :D *****

  • He must work on it, I think but still promising...

  • so many parts of it are nearly directly taken from Don. Not quite an original song imo.  People like Mckee and Dufour sure learned from Ross, but they never copied him, at no point.

  • Nevermind you guys.. This is what I mean, "Don this, Don that, please Don my ass Don".. ub3rphat said, listen to the music, dont think. YEAH! AND DONT POST A DON ROSS COMMENT!! PLEASE!

  • And yet, you didn't counter anything that involved him playing a song that looks very similar to Don's stuff. I think you should ''listen to the music'' a little bit harder. We aren't saying this guy is not good, he is obviously very skilled. We are just stating that his inspiration is more than clear lol

  • MihaZ i dont you enlighten us, which parts exactly has Eric stolen fron Don?

    It´s a very harsh accusation! So please show us the evidence.

    And let me remind you that, if i write a song using A minor that doesnt mean that your stealing if your using the same chord in your song.

    Eric is very gifted also as a conposer.

  • First of all, I didn't say that he ''stole'' work. Also, I'm sure you might actually agree on that, it's quite pointless to try to prove something on youtube. Although, if you listen to this piece and have ever heard of Don's music, you can't say it's not similar. He has the same little habbits when he plays for example. This reminds me a couple songs from don, but the most obvious is definately Drac & Friends, or at least a part of it.He is definately a good player though, I agree with you.

  • As a random information, I actually bought his cd quite some time ago lol.

  • After listening to both tracks I can see they're very similar.

  • There needs to be a bassist in candy rat.

  • O wait there is.

  • mamalo lilmark there´s a diference with influence and the same thing you should take a few class about concepts!! and find the meaning of mamalo!!

  • very nice... I hear the Don Ross influence

  • DOn't say fuck Don. If if it wasn't for Don Erick probably wouldn't have had an inspiration to learn how to play like that.

  • Its not like that, but its like... Man Ronaldiño your great, I can see the Pelé influense! WTF? Yeah, Don is a legend, but legends can be beaten. Im just tirred of everybody putting a Don Ross comment in every fucking candyrat production. Antoine Dufour is just way better, and Andy McKee covers his songs better than the originals. Don is great (legend aswell), BUT!!!,great can be beaten...

  • You miss the point of music, you're to simple minded. Listen to it, it is not a competition. Grow up. They aren't competing and they all have their strengths/weaknesses. Listen to it for what it is and don't think nearly as much.

  • genius... one of the best in this style... also credit to sound engineer... condesor mic at 15th fret about a foot from player... old school!

  • sorprendente eres grande muchacho saludos desde puerto penasco sonora mexico

  • Well i think it sounds nothing like drac and friends totally diff melody diff tuning so i dunno whats wrong with u guys ears

  • They do sound alike at some places. When I first heard this song, like the few first seconds, I thought it was cover.

  • he plays like my uncle who is a freaking genius!!!! So kudos to you my brotha.

  • not bad mate not bad !

  • i don't even understand how someone can be this good at guitar.

  • HOLY MOLY! This song is amazingly well played.

  • Great,man!

    good job!!!

    (Taylor is good too)

  • Holy wow. That was inspiring.

  • Wow, where can I pay for tabs?

  • dude!

    I LOVE THIS kind of music.

    So awesome!!

  • everyone has influences, that would be like saying Albert King copied BB King. Great song though btw
