"Fusion"
Man! This kills me!
Just one guitar and so great!
I pray to god to be able to play like that one day!
btw, it seems to me that the guitar has a special tuning, did I get that right?
So cool.. I gonna get an acoustic now.. lol

I was so amazed by this guy I had to check out his personal site and took it upon myself to give him an invite to stop in and say hello from what I saw on his site he makes a point of answering the posts so maybe he'll bless us with a visit. I'm gonna get one of his cd's and see if he's got any shows coming up in Ontario or maybe I'll just crash at Steve's place...hehe
ps. Good find Stevedak I do like talent

Welcome to our site Erik, I have to admit I was an instant fan after seeing your stuff on youtube...do you do any touring outside Canada? Please let me know if you'll be in the Southern California area anytime, I would love to see you and bring all my musician (and non-musician) friends along!

Welcome to the the site Erik, and well done lads for getting us aquainted with Erik's music, great stuff. Unfortunately Montreal is a bit of a trek for me, but I hope I can get a chance to hear more of your music via the site.
Excellent :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
How about us doing an Erik Mongrain 'AirTap' challenge? yeah right, like any of us could pull that off!
Brilliant stuff, truly unique.

Erik you are an inspiration to us all my friend you have awakened my desire for the acoustic again !
I often experimented with DADGAD I love that tuning I don't know what you use but it is fantastic you are so different that's what I love about it all!
You remind me a bit of a really nice guy called Eric Roache who sadly passed away last year he used to use his acoustic like a drum alot also like you !!
Inspirational playing welcome to our forum !!

I only composed 1 song in DADGAD , was mostly an experiment to see how could anyone compose 15 years in that tuning. ( the silent fool is the song , its on youtube )
I use a wide array of tunings in fact , Ill post a list on my site soon enough ;)
Thanks for the warm welcoming btw guys !8-)
