My Australia's Got Talent Audition for 2012 Erik Mongrain - Airtap!

[GavriLLavich]

i remembered the movie " August Rush" here in your video.. He does air tap too. :)

[bourky93]

@GavriLLavich Good movie :P But he doesn't perform Air Tap, he just does an improv tune in the lap tapping style, however, the tuning used to play it is very different to the one I am using (fun fact, Kaki King is the one who acts as his hands in that part :P). I think the tuning is DADGAD or something similar to that

[S0PHiNATOR]

Erik Mongrain is freaking awseome!!! Nice work man.

[333newlife]

awesome!

[morsony96]

WAIT answer me please... is there tabs? or anything? it sounds like... A FREAKING MASTERPIECE

[bourky93]

@morsony96 It's kinda hard to put Tab to this. This style isn't meant to follow a solid structure. With lap tapping, you need to play what you want at the time. However, with particular songs like this, there is a small bit of structure like the bits I play at the start and end belong to this song, "Air Tap". :) I might end up making a video soon when I get my hands on a new camera or something and to a tutorial as well as a new song. Thanks for the comment though :) much appreciated.

[maurodreamtheater]

@bourky93 even what you say, there are a tab of this song. I have a lot of songs of erik mongrain in guitar pro

[bourky93]

@maurodreamtheater Oh yea, not doubt there are tabs there, I was just saying it's kinda hard to actually do it :P Proper tab for Erik's lap tapping pieces would only have the core parts of the song. If you find completed Tabs, then it is just another one of many renditions of the song. Chances are, you will not find a Tab that shows how to play this version of it here :P Just saying it's supposed to be more of a on the spot song, not a piece that you find a particular rendition and practice it.

[strustru1]

@bourky93 Erik himself has released tabs for all his songs which is in his website,saying that your right, song is structured and you jam really :)

[bourky93]

@strustru1 yep yep :)

[Willbayley63]

Sounds great :)

[slam631]

this is great (: , this looks really hard to play , but im so want to learn now (: congrats , and hope you do well next year (:

[bourky93]

@slam631 Maybe next week, I am going to get acrylic nails put on so I can play better :) I was thinking of putting up a new video of me playing because this one is like 2 years old now lol and I might even put up a tutorial on how the basics of this style :D So stay tuned if you are still keen on learning

[AssassinsAreUs]

Dude, how did you not get in!?

This is amazing, awesome, original, entertaining! everything the show could want.

[bourky93]

@AssassinsAreUs Who know :S I auditioned in Cairns and it popular belief that they don't tend to accept many people from regional areas. Not sure if that is true or not but oh well. I'm going to Audition again for next years season but this time in Brisbane. If i STILL don't get in I will just drop it :( I got Uni and all that to look forward too and if I can't get into Australia's got talent a second time then there is no use crying over spilled milk :P Fingers crossed for next year i guess :D

@QueefbagAnil I didn't hear back from AGT :( If I don't see anyone playing like me on the show, I will definitely try again for next year. If I don't get in again then I wont be able to pursue it haha, I have to go to Uni lol :P But hey, you never know! Thanks again.

[QueefbagAnil]

[bourky93]

@MeBeRukua I was going to Audition in Brisbane but I was told by a resident there that if you wanted a chance just to audition alone you have to camp there the night before. I went to Cairns for my audition, it was the best choice EVER! hahaha, I arrived like 4 hours before the Auditions started and I was like 3rd in line? How was the line up in Perth and what did you do? Maybe I will see you on the show! :P
