[TheNanatexxx]

Hello my friend ... I'm from Brazil I'm here to wish you happy birthday

[mikemoseley]

eriks birthday is on april 12th :p

[R3dnt]

:D:D yeah that would be typical

[rokkoshamy22]

i want to learn it so bad, i'm already imaging that some girl sits next to me, i play this song, and then i say "that was written with you in my mind," yeah all girls will be MINE ))))))))

P.S. One of the greatest guitarist in the world

[classicrockfm]

Don't abuse the power of the acoustic guitar.

With great power, comes great responsibility ;)

[rokkoshamy22]

I think i can be responsable. ))))

[blackpoes]

to rokkoshamy22

dude playing this kind of guitar is wayy past playing for girls... its his way of expression

honestly i wouldent play this for any random person.. it holds soo much meaning and depth its un-paralled

[J3thro100]

So why's this piece on youtube!? I think conveying that meaning to strangers (and likewise strangers conveying to me) is part of why I find music so captivating and rewarding. And if a girls not impressed/moved by this then you can safely ditch her!!

[me700gnomes]

she'll probably say "do you know anything with words??"

[rokkoshamy22]

I'd say NO, wasn't that enough?))))

[cptspoofy]

He's unbelievable and is the truest successor to Michael Hedges I've seen so far.

[tylernstew]

@cptspoofy I believe Erik has much more talent than Michael Hedges. What Hedges has that he doesn't is many more years of experience which will come in time.

[fenderbender92]

@tylernstew That is such a bad thought. Hedges died unexpectedly. To treat that as an new realm of talent, age, is simply wrong. We can say Erik is exploring as Michael did.

[tylernstew]

@fenderbender92 hmm. I did not mean to offend anyone. I was not trying to imply that talent is measured by age or that age is talent. Talent, in my opinion, is how gifted you are at something you first pick up. It is not acquired through practice. However, skill and experience is. I was only attempting to imply that i believe Erik has major potential that will develop.

[fenderbender92]

@tylernstew Okay, I misread your post, sorry.

[treyboone]

El Guitarrista!! Great song, man. I enjoy all of your music, but this one in particular I love. Really inspiring stuff!

[samtheman3000]

I fucking love the very being with that slide

[themann810]

i second that

[CheekySleekyMJ]

wow would be awesum so him live playing

[rockerfaerie]

This song makes me smile...

so much feeling he is able to express

I am always grateful for emotive musicians like erik who put their souls into the music to where it pours out even without vocals... it's like he's making the guitar cry :X

[samtheman3000]

I don't understand why this only has 14,000 views? It's so amazing lol

[Darkvinx88]

because on youtube there are only kids who loves to see a farting monkey...works of art like this are not interesting to the mainstream people of YT sad but true

[treyboone]

I disagree. I think it's just a matter of time, and Erik will be getting huge hits fairly soon.

Oh, and what's not to like about farting monkeys?? :)

[alshealy]

Impressive talent. Keep up the giving.

[Chris020687]

What is happening between 3:27 and 3:50??

It appears not to be the right pictures for the sound...

But nevertheless great work again!!! 5 stars!

[tjazmin]

Hope you consider Berkeley, CA for your next concert. We would love to see you play live.

[myspyz]

You are awesome dude..fucking awesome!!

[murf5824]

after 2 minutes of sitting like that my damn legs would fall asleep and i wouldnt be able to walk for 2 days

[sara092]

:D I play in that position all the time dude, its not that bad ;) :D

[AlwaysAbiggerFish]

Tuning?

[Shawzyee]

EGDF#AC#

[gottalovetheguitar]

its not about the notes he plays, but its about the notes he does not play.

for all you musicians out there, if you want to become great(er) learn which notes "not to play"

[GuitarSoloist666]

alot of times if you wanna really blow someone's mind with a guitar there are notes that you normally would play but you canskip and the mind will place them there and the listener will be like "wtf did he do that or did imagine it?" its funny to watch em after ya play stuff like that ;D erik does shit i could never even come close to doing tho, have to admit i'm a bit jealous

[Fable742617]

Anybody noticed that at 3:28 - 3:50 video is not "Muse" but "Equilibrium"?

[rockster10101]

Holy crap your right!

[poxikkk]

litttel lick;p

[kylemustwatch]

breathe taking

[me700gnomes]

dooo(slide) daaa doooooooooooooooom

[thewiseman226]

Erik

You should make tabs for this availible on your site! INCREDIBLE song.

Thanks for the music

[poxikkk]

They will be u got preeety lot other's;)

[sleepingTitania]

Beautiful

[VeteranVidHead]

Wonderful, thank you for sharing.

[Rael0505]

Those fret inlays are so awesome. Amazing song too, Mongrain is the man.

[theadameister]

He's so relaxed, chilled, and calm... His sould pours into his work and art. A true artist. Watch his mannerisms and the passion for what he does... How intricate and delicate he is with how well he plays... And that guitar itself plays well for him.

[1nessism]

i really enjoy this...

[thisisjustjeff]

This is probably my favorite song off Erik's album. It just has such a great rhythm to it, a great flow. The music just definitely makes you feel, and that's what I love about all of Erik's music on his Equilibrium album.

[rataMacue22]

Epic.

Thanks for putting your music out for everyone to enjoy.

[AwakeAndDangerous]

That was awesome. Thanks for sending the link.

[munkeyman90]

the mental capacity that this type of acoustic guitar playing takes is insane.... and erik completely masters it. the one guitar sounds like 2 or 3. along with playing the guitar Erik also adds in a pounding sound to make the song even more complex, but it isnt complex as in Eddie van Halen or other guitarists out there who play very fast...and most of the time sloppy...he just plays a different kind of complex....a crisp mellow complex.

[edihedihedih]

with guitarists like eddie, it's more like there mind only has to be in one place to tell one story. But eric's mind appears to be encompassing a much larger idea that he's trying to expose through the guitar with more elements then it seems the guitar can handle. That's just the way it seems to me.

[munkeyman90]

u said it dude. not many guitarists tell a story through the guitar anymore, let alone a complex story such as Erik. so many guitarist have to sing to tell the story, unlike Erik, and dont use all of the guitar, such as pounding and slapping his finger to get a more rugged and harsh sound.

[adithestar]

this is gr888888 music,, but i dont understand about the story n all that,, can u tell me?

[munkeyman90]

well u see in most band they will have a singer to tell the story or the point they are tryin to get across and there can only be one possible story or explanation. with Eriks songs, there can be many interpretations and they are very detailed.

[Numanelo]

close your eyes, and see what you imagine when you listen to this song.. :)

that is your interpretation of the story that Erik tells with his guitar

[munkeyman90]

very tru.

[theDonsonDon]

you da man

[sarah1ooo1]

beautiful :)

[systemresponse]

i would so buy his album... too bad i can't :(

[nisim765]

you are realy amazing

[sora21elijah]

[like your guitar]

[Tarasepp]

There is no one else like this guy. I have never been so amazed before. For this style of music that he plays, no one can touch him.

Really humble too, Ive never actually talked to someone like this before(he actually reads his forums and posts from time to time) and its just inspiring.

[bockbeam]

hehe i agree w u :D

[61cirnel]

Outstanding..

Very relaxing music.

You're very good, keep up with the good work! :)

[tokietokietox]
