Erik Mongrain - Air Tap!

[YELLOWNITA]

le son est fluide!plutot al'aise le bonhomme!on devinne un accordage spécifique de la gratte afin de limiter la marge d'erreurs,ce qui n'ote rien a la complexité du jeu!bravo!!!

[andzhus1992]

how the hell can anyone dislike something like this???

i bet they are metalists.. :D

[prototypep4]

@andzhus1992 Fuck off cunt. Most metalheads would deffs appreciate this. It's probably all the rap and bieber fans.

[shibidahcho]

@prototypep4 Fuck off cunt. I listen to rap and I am absolutely stunned by Eric's music. So that leaves the Bieber fans i guess

[shyhannahrose]

AWESOME!!! That is it just AWESOME!!!

[ChrisBrandsborg]

High Quality video with amazing audio quality of Erik Mongrain playing Air Tap on my channel or as video response!! If you like this song, you might check it out! Because it's a pleasure to the ears!

[flealll]

21 people clicked the advertising...

[eugizzzle]

[kickfliperz]

21 are rappers:)

[guitaristofmylapore1]

I just attained enlightenment listening to this music,

[niuniaCore]

This man has changed my brain into shit...

[Buggygovroom]

No beating around the bush... 21 people are just really friggin ignorant, retarded, numb, like rap, stupid, and have no appreciation for skill.

[FPSKings]

@Buggygovroom Excuse me? All I listen to is rap and I love this. Rap music has nothing to do with intellectual ability or appreciation of skill. Don't associate the music with the ignorant.

[Destructo4444]

please have my babies

[brendanapoluza]

real life August Rush??

[sprman1976]

[alstreet2009]

I mean...I love that movie...but still

[alstreet2009]

suck it August Rush

[ROBERTtheGUITARIST]

ASIAN GUYS: Wow! This guy is more asian than us!

[KoRnFaNaTiK]

3:38 THAT is what makes it all worth it.

[Ton3Zon3]

Hacker, he's not holding his guitar on the right way!

Just joking, this guy has 4 brains and 8 arms.

[moncef75]

comme g dit sur Erik Mongrain  ya un ans il m'étonneras toujours

[slingshotmcoy]

@moncef75 Took me four read overs to realize he was speaking another language, and wasn't retarded.

[Felderoth]

Woah turn the treble down a bit there mate i have a headache now. You got mad skills though.

[maddietara18]

what is this type of guitar style called; like the way how the guitar is playeed?

[TuonelanJoutsen616]

@maddietara18 It's called "lap tapping" technique :)

[cantouchthis94]

who ever disliked this should go boil their head...

[R4vindcption101]

guitar hero right here

[ante912]

Insane skills but way to speedy and messy for my taste.

[kebab2609]

You're doing it wrong.

[he1986]

My ears hurt!

[he1986]

My air hurts.



[olasonn]

I play guitar and love listening to most types of guitar playing, but this was rather unpleasant to listen to. I'm sure what he does is difficult and all, but it doesn't sound good to me.

[darkhaven328]

@olasonn i personally love the sound of the guitar in this tuning and style. But to each his or her own i guess. Btw I have made many attempts to make something this complex and yes it is quite difficult.

[alstreet2009]

@olasonn thats sad...I mean...you're entitled to your opinion...but he's playing with some very beautiful harmonics to create insane soundscapes...its actually really pleasing to the ears in the traditional sense...but, again, you're entitled to your opinion

[server1908]

i would like to see him play the sitar. that would be amazing

[russellsnuts]

i would turn gay for that guitar

[SuperYodizzle]

I LOVE THIS GUY

[Youareyow]

Hoooow Can We Do That With A Guitar ???? What Kind Of Guitar is This ??? Plzzzzzzzzzz Gotta Know :) <3 <3 <3

[ConnorFGuitar]

@Youareyow I think the guitar is a Rainsong carbon-fibre acoustic, sick guitar but really expensive

[Arksband]

Being able to play that would just be pure bliss.

[killingj0ke23]

[DecapitatedONE666]

This guy looks like my uncle. I wish my uncle could even be able to pick up a guitar. This dude is sick.

[MadxProductions]

in middle of song, guitar falls, ULTIMATE FAIL!!!!!

[deadeyedickification]

He is the musical side of Chuck Norris

[1flywhiteguy]

He just divided by zero

[Frickenlickengood]

I showed my tutor at college this song, And his exact words were..

"After me playing for roughly 20 years thinking that you're close to knowing everything and one guy in the space of 3 minuets shows you that you really know fuck all." XD Best quote i've ever been told. :D

[willateurface]

Amazing.

[pergsify]

Erik Morgrain completed the square..

[jobless205]

[00KurosakiBankai00]

[Killerzac]

[MOPATA69]

@Killerzac looks like carbon fiber.

[jordanizcool12]

[njwfunmaster]

The guitar whisperer?

[1burneyyy]

is it only to me? or does this really look like 3d animation!?!

[Radiqua]

@1burneyyy

It does, doesn't it? lol. Its not though ^_^.

[HeyJudenn]

@1burneyyy only you :P

[benelauer]

does he uses any effects to create this sound apart from a damn expensive custom made guitar?

[pear500]

@benelauer I imagine he added some reverb post-recording, but he makes that sound with his fingers and that guitar.

[babbersabber]

@pear500 I know he uses an bass boost and this isn't a normal guitar.

[deeboo007]

@pear500 deffinately a pre-amp reverb but still awesome

[MiryChesstopher]

@benelauer I don't know about effects but I am pretty sure the guitar is a graphite guitar. Maybe it is custom made but I doubt it, however, they are expensive regardless.

[crowningglory9]

this is what you call "SHEER GENIUS!"

[knelledkismet]

Eric, this song has changed a little since key west...extra fills are nice, jeremy lester

[davebase3]

Eric gets great tone out of that RainSong Carbon Fiber GTR!!

[Funkykenta]

Yeah he is the most unique guitar player I've ever seen. I wanna see him 20 , 30 years later. He will connect with the space and express the sound through his guitar.

Peace

[niematojak]

Widzę kościół to wyłączam.

[Kill3rBNC]

[Heletuusi]

Head aching after watching this vid...

Damn, Erik's probably one of the best

[Celshonar]

Holy shit. @_____@

[hellheroes1385]

is Air Tap! the name of the songs, cause I really thing it should be name like Heaven's Music or something like that

[cmouataz]

@hellheroes1385

the name of that song is "percusienfa"

I know that guy, is coming from Québec province.

[kwac88]

@hellheroes1385 Yes, the name of the song is "Air Tap!" It sounds different each time he plays it, because his songs are 75% improvisation and 25% structure.

[elbala777]

Gifted people are gifted =')

[elbala777]

Gifted people are gifted :')

[rockpicschick]

[JakeHallofficial]

what kind of guitar is he playing??? please can someone let me know. and what tuning is this in??

[pear500]

@JakeHallofficial It's probably some kind of acoustic with a graphite neck.

[akslick256]

@pear500 It is a Rainsong Carbon Fiber Guitar. Google them. They have interesting tone and tend to be very light compared to traditional wood.

[pear500]

@akslick256 Thanks mate, good to know

[patrickacoustic1]

just when I thought I was a good guitarist...

[MrStrangeSensation]

Is this song actually called "Air Taps"? Of all the videos of this guy on YouTube, this song is by far my favorite, it would be nice to know the name of it.

[xshaggothxx]

@MrStrangeSensation It's called air tap, without the s.

[SubGordonUSN]

It's soo Japanese that they have judges nodding in approval. And they would.

[sharkask]

15 people suffer from spasticity...can't click the right button... <.<

[Moshikashitenai]

You're holding it wrong! Nah, just jk, that was sick!

[WorstSailorEver]

He just turned my brain into shit....

[DonTheTurtleDude]

@WorstSailorEver if i only had a brain

[Lymesloop]

This is easily the best version!

[stewartjlong]

I wanna know what he does at 1:43

[Goodwin7X]

@stewartjlong he strums with his right thumb right at the bridge. while holding Natural Harmonics on the fifth frets with his right hand. Something like that anywayss.

[Kamake78]

[thundermorphine]

[ToastOfFear]
