  • no new material for seven years?

  • Thumbs up if u can play this :D

  • Sounds 100 times better on CD,youtube sound is crap...

  • go to candyrat,com and buy his CD,Look him up under artists and click on his name !

  • who needs words I could listen to this pickin all day long.

  • Holy bubble head

  • i think this guy just won at guitar

  • its his best song i think.

  • im not a musician but i appreciate it more than average...enough to where i currently run a decent Focal audio system in my vehicle(w a k2 18' sub and passive radiators.

    but i've seen this video many times (sadly never heard on disc), i don't know shit about guitars, i know a martin is great but i dunno why. but to me it sounds right on that "shitty guitar" i'd like to hear it on something w more tone as well but to me this jus looks technically very difficult and he is def into it. impressive

  • I went to Highschool with Erick and he was as good then back in 1993 as he is now. He used to rock our works at school assemblies.

  • the sound on here is awful. I have one of his cd's , and it's great.

  • I've never heard of you before,but I'll start paying more attention.

    I agree about the sound of that Ovation being thin and crappy, but the song itself and the musicianship is outstanding.

  • Awesome haha, i love the way you play !

  • so....almost genius?...genius level?...i think i will go with genius level..bad to the bone level?..bad to the intramuscular level?..i will go with bad to the bone level

  • WOW ...this is cool !

  • That looks like the pale ale cup from American Pie!

    Love this song, amazing guitarist!

  • @kerranz. That is funny stuff to notice. Wonder if that is a screwdriver...I think I like the other version better though. I really dig the accoustics.

  • Yeah0 OVATION? Yikes!! That is like having Michelangelo paint with a paint roller...However, it kind of works as a way of getting an odd, non-traditional, non-woody tone. I hate the tone, but the guy is a genius at what he does. I would rather hear it done on something with more TONE, Baby!!

  • what does it mean that he's playing it on an Ovation guitar? I'm not a musician. please explain....

  • @alexiglass No musician either, but I think it's the quality and the resonance.

  • @ alexiglass. Ovation is a brand of guitar

  • @kerranz lol ikr! now tht u mention it i am too.. great now through the whole video im just staring at his drink...hmmm

  • Is it just me or does he have more than the normal complement of fingers?

    Cool stuff, but I admit i spent a lot of time worring about his knocking over that drink.

  • All I can say is "wow".

  • man, I've heard the album version and it rocks, why does this sound so crunchy?

  • He's playing this on an Ovation guitar.

  • ESSE KRA É UM ET

  • du isst grad ein omelette? :D

  • that was great

  • I love this song but really hate the sound of that ovation.

  • @dmanfromm I actually like the sound of the ovation.

  • @enderx420 SO DO I! IDK why the people I talk to give it a bad rep.

    -Berto

  • @dmanfromm ovation must have paid him alotta money

  • @dmanfromm man, I'm extremely glad to hear someone else share their distaste with those guitars. Why do people like them? Does not understand.

  • @dmanfromm he needs himself a taylor or martin...

  • @dmanfromm this is a really low quality recording in terms of sound quality...cant comment on the sound of any instrument. it sounds great if it was a nice HQ video imo..

  • @dmanfromm he probably used it so he wouldnt have to pound the hell out of a nicer guitar haha

  • amazing!

  • OMG I LOVE IT !!!!

  • COOL !  DO you write your own music?

  • Wow, that Ovation sounds like a tin can.

    An awesome tune nonetheless!

  • All ovations sound like tin cans.  I find their best purpose is accompaniment with another deeper sounding guitar. Maybe he likes it because of his style, fast!

  • And i thought i at least knew how to hold the guitar ...

    Ummmm.... :O ... Who am I .. Where am I .. can any one take me back to the planet earth ... I feel I am surrounded with GODS .. I wanna kiss ur fingers.. U R GODDDDD .. U RRRR GODDDDDD!!

  • Erick, I like your music very much. Just bought your album on candyrat and I'm looking forward to listening to your songs! Keep on grooving like this! Greetings!

  • Just wonderful ! I love it =D

  • what type of ovation is this?

  • Back for another listen ... I wish I could play like this.

  • Must be some good Orange Juice.

    2. please post this again but this time on a 12 sting. I'd love to hear the difference

    BTW you are !@#$%^& amazing, thanks for sharing

  • holy shit, you're damn good!!!!

  • Hey simonpca ... maybe he knows something you don't know. I think Ovation guitars are awesome. Yes, there are better acoustics out there, but try playing one plugged in ...

  • About Ovation... I think that they sorta sound off plugged in or acoustic. Like, unnatural, obviously. My opinion though.

  • Beautiful

  • I like playing this song at about 70% speed I think it sounds better but shit erick is a speed demon check out his blues jam in E :O

  • That guy has loads of talent to make an Ovation sound great! :O

  • to make it even sound good, let alone great, takes a lot of talent :P

  • wow, this guy is the man

  • i remember learning this song..

    omg ,,, i suck now

  • Holy s**t!

  • Maybe it's just me, but I like this version on the Ovation better than the acoustic version

  • oh yea. i def agree

  • ...rather unusual as I like acoustics better most of the time

  • this guy lives right down the road from me.

  • where is this ? :P

  • the man is never going to read this for I am in shock after hearing this .... the truth without words.un genius!

  • amazing!!

  • this guy is decimating the weak

  • Possibly my favorite acoustic guitar piece ever.

  • not listened to much then

  • Says you :P

    I get it, my opinion is wrong.

  • You can hear people in the background saying something like "Jesus, there's no way. ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" And honestly, I don't blame 'em

  • Sounds like an ani difranco tune

  • It's the OJ isn't it?

    If OJ doesn't kill you it must give you awesome skills.

    Damn, this song is beyond beautiful.

  • OJ shreds

  • goddamn it this is amazing

    for a second u took on the shape of a unicorn

  • thealexmaryuen, its an ovation i believe.

  • i only had to listen to the intro to tag this song as favorite

  • Holy... fuck...

  • what guitar is that?

  • it's a ovation

  • oval like my oval ovalonation shredder

  • Comment removed

  • HOLLY FUCK!

  • Just wow.

  • Man! Easy on that thing! that was ..AMAZING! wish i could play like this!

  • I like the head of the guitar. Nice head:D

    Good song!

  • what a sick tone O: sounds almost alittle distorted kinda, and an amazing song as well, deffinetly one to learn in due time (:

  • what I love about this, is that it's so incredible haha. I have been practicing this song for months. I still have another section to learn, but he just makes it look so easy and smooth, and consistant. Harmonics every single time

  • wad model of an ovation is that?

  • Wow! Does that happen everytime you drink orange juice ?

    Way to go man!

  • Tom Green's amazing hidden talent!

    Just kidding, that's a phenomenal Rt hand though, sounds like 3 guitars.

  • haha tom green.... hahaha...

  • wtf? this rules. why have i never heard of this dick? lol he makes me hate myself because I WISH i could play like that. Awesome job Erik. (sorry bout the whole callin ya dick thing up top!)

  • Man Erick,

    your playing is incredible!!!

    5****s.

    You are awesome...

  • from low to high... C G D D#A#D#

  • wow

  • Anyone know what model the guitar is?

  • sounds like hell. looks/sounds like an ovation. if he played a real instrument like a stonebridge or a lowden or even a martin it wouldn't be so friggin twangy. great song but terrible instrument and recording.

  • You can tell its an ovation cause of the dumb back on the guitar. Why did Ovation even make that substance?? Feels like sharp rocks on your stomach. i completely agree that he needs a martin or stonebridge. I dunno if this style would be good on a lowden or not.

  • does anyone what tuning he uses here??

  • Low C perhaps? Search Google for "Low C guitar tuning".

  • Awesome!!! Turnbull kicks ass...and does anyone else think he looks like Paul Giamatti? lol

  • HOLY SHIT! He is rocking out hard in this version! This is great!

    Mad respect to the cup of juice. It did it's job.

  • There's gotta be some sort of contraband in that juice

  • being a turnbull automatically makes you good

  • its like listening to john mayers neon for the first time, again. thank you

  • sounds awesome - looks like tom green lol

  • people like ovations because of the shape, the design, and also how it cuts through other instruments

    sometimes you see people playing in gigs with acoustics and the sound just blends in and you dont hear it at all over all the other instruments.

    ovations are known to cut through that noise and help the acoustic sound stand out more. it all depends on what sound you're going for. hes an artist, let him use his own tools.

  • Ovations don't help the acoustic sound stand out more, because ovations do not have an acoustic guitar sound. they are purely a box with strings and piezo pickups.

  • agree totally

  • I never have like ovations...i just don't get them...

  • madd skills.... but wow does that ovation sound horrible.

  • go halves on buying him a new guitar?

    Im sure he's got some talent, but all i hear at the moment is trebly ovation nastyness!

  • its not the guitar - just the recording

  • he do a little mistake at 1:22 and he correct it quickly at 1:23, 1:25.crazy guy^^

  • You have got to be kidding, Wally!!!!!!

  • where are you know man, thats intense.

  • From the headstock i'd say that's an Ovation he's playing? Why aren't you playing something that is as good as you?! Seriously Dude.... completely flawless

  • I couldn't agree more. That thing quacks worse than a duck with a cold. Can you imagine how killer this would sound on a Taylor, Martin or Breedlove?

  • uncredible!!i need bed

  • undredible!!

  • You're amazing!!! i love your style and i can play this song!!!

  • AWESOME!!!! you´re the best

  • still not as good as Bastrosha!

  • holy shit man....you amaze me. This is such a beautiful song

  • un-be-fucking-lievable

  • Simply amazing bra, I love the everything about this piece the rhythm, slaping, melody. Good stuff.

  • awesome skills. he has a different facial expression for every chord!

  • lol that's true ^^

    But he has a real talent though :)

  • his left leg is cracked out

  • now that is talent.

  • i only had to listen to the intro to mark it as favorite

  • One thing about Youtube is that I've come to realize how many amazing muscians are out there that I would have never known about.

  • omg impressive! who is this guy? is he a famous person or somthin?

  • Nothing like a little Vodka to losen mind and free the soul and orange juice to highten the bitter sweet taste of great music.

  • that was so cool

  • ur the best of the best man

  • A guitar, a chair and what looks to be a screwdrive. LOL. Awesome!
