Pandora's Box

[ChrisBrandsborg]

Tuning??:)

[bcbk93]

Heard this so many times and STILL....the goosebumps are EPIC!!!!

[ChrisBrandsborg]

Your best song! What is the tuning?? 

[immortalsoloist]

Now I want Pandora's Box :P :D awesome Erik

[PosthumouslyObscure]

How its made should use his music in their show!

[BobPokrzywaMusic]

what a huge inspiration...awesome song!

[dihang94]

This is what i call effects XD

[MrFranciscoFidalgo]

It sounds like you have at least 3 instruments on here.

You're simply a genius.

[zackman333]

Hmmmm after listening I took a pregnancy test....It came out positive , thanks a lot Erik you jerk :(

[brycecake2]

how in the world did you do that at 0:39? wow.

[lcanhearmusic]

@brycecake2 its a one handed harmonic struck near the sound hole....

[thejman10]

i gotta stop listening to this guy in my car. hes putting me to sleep

[MachineMalfunction]

Wow. Just freakin wow.

[binky69]

i wish i had something to say.... but i am really left breathless

[lichtenshizervonshir]

i play myself but i never realized the real possibilities of my guitar. i like to kind if play it like a bass. slaps and taps so forth. but Erik's music really displays the guitars unique variance in sound. it truly inspires me!!! I wish i could have known this man growing up. i think this world needs more of this kind of inspiration . nothing better than losing yourself in a beautiful melody .

[siksadlitlwrld]

I absolutely love the harmonics at 40 seconds in and so on throughout.  God you truly are a gifted artist. The composition of all your songs are so good, keep it up as long as you can, I enjoy listening to your music often.....Cheers to all!!!

[me700gnomes]

it would be really cool to see you play a harp guitar

[greenmax80]

circuspenguin123 you are gay

[darceyfartcy1]

tuning?

[Nevermind900426]

have he ever been in Sweden?

[SweBass1]

Just amazing. Stunned.

[Lizco93]

man... you'r really talented :)

[wildflower91]

I'm sure you've heard that before, but HATS OFF to Erik! :)

[HalfPuertoRican]

Nope.

[CircusPenguin123]

nice

[WorkingMan1967]

GREAT!!! Erik, tu es extraordinaire à la guitare! Continues ton bon travail.

[tckhero910]

This song is actually Alone In the Mist not Pandora's Box...but nonetheless a great song

[erikmongrain]

Sorry, it's Pandora's Box

[tckhero910]

then Itunes has ur song titles mixed up

[erikmongrain]

I know, BIG problem !!!!!!!!

[DrDread]

lol until today I've thought Alone in the Mist was called Muse. Equilibrium is called Pandora's Box! Aiee!

[K1LL14N]

That's why I don't like Itunes xD

[RiouxItsMe]

i dont think this is a baritone the bridge is not really far from the hole and the neck isnt too long(as baritone )

i love that guitar such a beautiful sound..

[gavininco]

another great piece Erik!

[nirvan1111111]

holy shit

[brichterman]

Erik has such an awesome haunting sound.

[mikemoseley]

sorry eriks right our left ")

[mikemoseley]

Full screen the video at 1:25 and it almost looks like smoke clouds or dark lilly pads form on the right side of erik haha

[guitarmad18]

Guage 9's he uses

[xynaxis]

are you using the high strings from a 12-string set ???

[bruno280678]

superb!!

[jdsongwriter]

Great guitar playing! I need to learn how to play like that!

[xynaxis]

I have never heard a guitar "growl" like that...

[MasterThief1324]

I've never seen someone manipulate the guitar so that it would sounds like marakas.

[erikmongrain]

nop

[Atli7]

thats him slapping the body of the guitar to get a drum sound

[IKTET]

@sliptide its erik hitting the guitar

[puika1987]

This is great! Really great feeling with this song. Thanks!!!

[mmxcrono]

does he use a baritone guitar?

[TCupSipper13]

i think its just a low tuning, and a great guitar. a good combo.

[Numanelo]

isn't it a rainsong or something like that :/

[sainow]

That guitar is his custom Kingslight. I don't think it's a baritone, just built so that he can tune it down without buzzing. The rainsong is the black one. :)

[PiNoYPrYdEWyDe73]

Really cool harmonic at 0:39. Wow.

[treeanglular]

i second that!

[Minja4]

you makes it look so easy! great job eric!

[kyleM5055]

how can one man be this good. i think he probably the best person who ever picked up a guitar on so many different levels

[sora21elijah]

no i think shungha jung

[Tarasepp]

That kid is really really really good too. Granted they have completely different styles. I would like to see that kid play stuff like this, I bet he could, but i don't think anyone can match the emotion that you feel listening to this kind of music. I couldn't imagine how this would sound live.

[aboynamedchris]

i hear you man. I think how great someone is can be determined by how they make you feel! Eriks songs at a live concert would have me completely captivated in an emotional roller coaster ride!

[LarsJohann]

are you fucking kidding me Erik is on a whole other level

[junka22]

This song has an amazing big and bassy feel to it, love it.

[SiggyMe]

Very nicely done! doc

[CaptainCheeseCurl]

This is amazing my friend.

[Letargian]

this brought tears to my eyes

i play guitar my selfe

and music like this keeps me going

thank you Eric

[xxadamnxx]

[BjoernGelotte]
