Erik Mongrain - Pandora's Box

Part of Erik Mongrain's Equilibrium Experience live concert that can be found on his website here: http://www.erikmongrain.com/News.asp
Pandora's Box - "When you receive a new guitar, there is always the magic of discovering how it sounds on every move you can think of. Although you've tried it first or figured out how it should sound, you truly never know exactly what you're going to get! Just like the Pandora's box, everything could pop out of it!".

Tuning: BF#DF#AC#

[trainman999]

whats the brand of the guitar??

[barrywalsh789]

@trainman999 It's a custom made Kingslight. If you want info on him, look up his website

[moonunitenar]

are you sure it's in GADEAE? I've been trying to sound it out and it doesn't sound anything like GADEAE...

[barrywalsh789]

oops! my apologies! GADEAE is for Equilibrium. Pandora's box is BF#DF#AC#. I'll fix that now, my bad! :P

[dugganater]

this guy is leaps and bounds better than most all guitarists i've seen.

[Pizat19]

Why does it stop!?!?!? WHY DOES IT STOP!!!!???

Mother fucker he is good.

[PaleHearse]

Just beautiful. This is the kind of guitar playing that would have gotten you burned at the stake 400 years ago.

[killxthexsmile]

1:37 the top string buzzes, FUCKING LOVE IT! god. i love that guitar so much. i wish i could have bought it instead of that other guy :((

[handsomerube]

really beautiful...no doubt influenced by michael hedges (also used sunrise pickups).

[dead1mans1grin]

awesome song so good in fact i got a nose bleed in the middle of the song and i just squeezed it and swallowed blood so i could finish it

I listened to "sanctuary" and loved it !!

I also noticed your comments about inner wounds etc.

My best friend Neil has inner wounds from his childhood that he expresses in his lyrics when we make music together. We never rehearse, we just roll some ideas around, then start playing and see what comes. Neil makes up the lyrics on the fly and they usually come from a deep place. Have a listen to our "give me back my freedom" track and see what you think?

[RiouxItsMe]

@SONGSTICKS I compose and the best part of it it's when you write something that you've never heard in you own existence and not even a hint to something else, it's truly a gift :) if you mind go listen to my ''Sanctuary'' piece. these is some lack about it like Video/sound quality and at the time i did not master the song entirely but i think you catch the color/mood. enjoy !

[RiouxItsMe]

@SONGSTICKS i complety agree with you. Imagination is the greater part of musical writing. you can obtain a musical piece only with simple musical idea but together it can turns into magical piece.Just look into akira yamaoka's work ( Silent Hill's music writter ) his song arent complex, it's simple melodies but all flooded together it becomes beautiful art.

@RiouxItsMe

ABSOLUTELY !!

So nice to see an amazingly skilled guitarist that isn't thrashing the hell out of a guitar or trying to show off. The subtlety and skill in the creation of this guys beautiful soundscape is just stunning !! To my mind, skill is one part of music, Imagination is the greater part. Lots of people out there very skilled, but just copy other peoples music.

Having said that, anyone who can find pleasure in whatever music they play, good luck to em. It's all good

[RiouxItsMe]

@TriviumFan15 finnaly someone think like me.. music is not about competition is all about feeling and imagination.
