"Airtap!" by Erik Mongrain Preview Lesson

Modern acoustic guitarist and "lap tap" master Erik Mongrain shows you how to play his song AirTap, from the 2006 album, Fates. This advanced-level, medium-tempo song can be played with a single steel string acoustic guitar tuned to an unusual Open F tuning (the strings are tuned F A C F C F from low to high). This unique style of playing involves left-hand rhythm patterns with percussive harmonic parts played with the right hand. This is an ideal study for the intermediate to advanced acoustic guitarist looking to broaden their techniques. This is a sample of a 25 minute video available for download at iVideosongs.com.
