[philipejc2]

your good dude... try to check mine if its okay..

[LeviLabbe]

yo Bro not 2 bad what's the tunninggg ? nice work , ive been working hard on it too , but trying out diffrent tunning's 2 c what best fit's .. good job . u got 2 tell me the tunning please bro:)

[alexohisyellow]

great job man. it sounds awesome, you'll eventually improve on it. and by the way, erik's airtap is about 75% improv. so everytime he plays it sounds different, which means yours can sound different too :]so don't try to get it perfect, erik's right hand is just insane XD

[Brendanthepimpshit]

Dude, u really got the right notes all the way, but ur rhythm is a little off, ive been tryin to figure this song out and its really tough, keep it up man and repost once u get it down, ive found ur video quite helpful!

[josonfine]

good job!

[guitarfreak714]

:13 lmfao~!

[ssteiyne]

Thanks for the tuning info. Much appreciated. I got a couple vids of two mini bass guitars that i made. Check em out if you haven't already seen them. they're not "all that" but you might get a kick out of em. Have a good one.

[ssteiyne]

sweet bro!! You pretty much got it, I'm sure it took quite a bit of practice. I want to try to start learning that too but I can't quite figure out how it is tuned, can you Pleease tell me, I would totally appreciate it, and Nice job!! thanks.

[Xanaden]

Thanks, it's FACFCF.

[DrDread]

im sure with more practise ul get a groove to it and get it cleaner and more "sparkly", like Erik does. Other than that, I haven't sene anyone get the actual song so spot on - I can tel its actually the same. Keep it up bro.

[Xanaden]

thanks dude. yeah, now after a year of practice it sounds a lot better. maybe i will upload a new version the following week.

[extremeawesome]

not very good. but better than most other cover attempts

[RikyBll]

great job!!!where can i find air tap tabs???I really want try to play this song!!!

[culoits]

wow ur great :D

[Hajszy]

i do not understand...

[wickedwitch1268]

[logician008]

good job dude. It sounds great keep up the good work and i want to see more videos from you!

[ramster800]

can i buy the tabs for you since i dont have a paypal account or sumthing..plss..

i really want to play this song..it makes my mother think of me as a better son..XD

[Xanaden]

???

[skj7777]

Erik's guitar is a Guild D55 one of the best sounding acoustic guitars on earth.

[Xanaden]

His current laptap guitar is a stonebridge.

[lemmingleper]

good going man, love to see someone else making a decent attempt, youve got one technique which i havent got down yet, so well done! have your fingers been bleeding yet?

[joliebw]

hey,..very good..really,.

wich kind of accoustic-guitar do you use.

the sound listen like a tenson!

And wich open tunig do you use?

FACFCF ??

[Xanaden]

Haha, it's a cheap Stagg guitar ;-)

And yes, the tuning is Open F.

[gibsonrockerguy]

It's

CACFCF

[Xanaden]

no, its FACFCF ;-)

[gibsonrockerguy]

FACFCF is an open F, ur right about that, but when when i try to play it with his live video i tune the 6th E to a C and it sounds right

it's when he hits that 6th string(the fat E) when he enters into the song

either way ur prolly right

i tried learning the sing by ear

any whoo, good cover man

[wickedwitch1268]

Can you end me the tabs? Pleezeee

[Imboli]

do you buy ur tab somewhere ?? et eté tu francais ??

[randytauren]

are you using effects?

or just the guitar amp?

you are awesome dude

congratulations!

happy new year!!

[Xanaden]

happy new year to you, too.

i did use nothing. its just accoustic sound recorded with the microphone of my camcorder.

[randytauren]

ok! thanks dude!

[battlingpig]

thats really good!

[beuvlad]

amazing!

[job8]

Great Job, one of the best covers on the net for sure!

[Xanaden]

Yeah, that just doesn't mean much. Your's the best! :-)

[aboynamedchris]

i will definitly learnt it when i get the chance i actually plan to play Airtap and percusienfa together as one! Im gonna start off with the first half of airtap then somehow move into percusienfa and play that real cool percussion part with the harmonics half way into percusienfa i think you may know which part im talking about.

[aboynamedchris]

Im loving the sound of your new guitar!! And i find myself always coming back to this video its great!

[Xanaden]

Thanks mate. It's time to learn the song yourself, because you could perform it better for sure :-)

[RyanTzor]

one tip, take your tempo a bit higher then you have mastered it. I guess your tempo should just be more constant and high is what i am trying to say, keep at it man good job

[Xanaden]

I already played it faster than Erik (look at the duration time). Just coudn't get it as flowing as him.

It needs extremly much pratice to play it like Erik do. I can't even play Airtap anymore, cause haven't played it since two weeks. It needs very much practice every day to get it flowing.

Soon I may post a video of my Percussienfa cover which will be a lot better.

[RyanTzor]

ya you are right, i guess your tempo is just jumpy like u said or flow

[remoouch]

You must work again !!

[samhuisman]

lol you have the elixir package lying like that there :D I love elixir but why not put the western strings on intstead of the electrics?

[Xanaden]

those strings lying there are the elixir acoustic guitar nanoweb strings, but i used other strings in the video but not electric strings, though.

they had no elixir polyweb strings left in my store so i had to choose some other thicker strings cause nanoweb sucks for laptapping.

[ivmar1]

on en veut plus!c'est super

[Doreauxgard0]

sounds a lot like it, not as good sound quality since he was on tv.

[lcquare]

Wao ~~~~ Cool ~~~~ Ang gu gu ~~~

[Bobbelman]

he man .. super nice ! wtg

[Hadrelle]

Nice work man. Sounds a lot like it.

[inthefade]

Tune your guitar!

[onemon22]

I was wanting to do a shout out video to Erik and I was wondering if you wanted to participate if you would like.

David.

[Xanaden]

Hey David, yes, i whould of course participate when my time makes it possible.

[baoubaba]

not bad but erik still best lol

[LowAstral]

Impressive!!!

[LokiBen86]

hey man, nicely played!

check out my attempt Airtap! (version 2) n see what you think.

[Stahlross2]

everyone who copies a grat player has to put a video into youtube. why?

[666ryanryan666]

Because they can play well... And want to share there talent.

[capo420420]

yeah good job 5 stars .. i gave up on "covering" eriks songs LONG before you did haha .. way stick to it .. i just started having ideas of my own early on .. check out my flat tapping video's ..

Jeff Williams

NiNja ALeiN RoBoT GuiTaRiST :)

[pablolazarus]

Yes that is awesome. I went to buy the tab on erik mongrain website, but i did not see it for sale.

[Xanaden]

it's available SOON, but not for this version of airtap :-(

[capo420420]

hmm well, I've been speaking with erik for about a year, i'll be suprised if a tab ever happens .. but if erik said its coming it probably is .. haha .. i don't think it will because there are things you CAN NOT notate in tablature ** as far as i know ** AND Erik says, "its more of an improvisation" so .. its not exactly the same every time .. but .. good luck with that ..

jeff Williams

NiNja ALeiN RoBoT GuiTaRiST :)

[Xanaden]

you can of course notate the tabs, even with guitar pro. i actually tabbed everything out, even i play it not exactly how i tabed it cause i havent played the song for a long time and forgot how to play it exactly so i improvised much, too.

[bl0wie]

respect:)

[guitarplayingcat]

Very nicely Done man, Great job.

[Rudreax]

Not bad. Too bad the sound's off sync a bit. Not enough to make it bad, though.

[JustinMartin87]

nice man, I'm impressed.

[xXSpartan150Xx]

Damn!

[Brendanthepimpshit]

Wow nice job dude, you must have watched that video at least 1 out of the 2 million views its had cause you played it just like it!

[jelmerholland]

Air Tap! hisself is better but it's a start ;)

[aboynamedchris]

aewsome work uwe :) love the new guitar!
