    Default Great young guitar player, amazing

    I've always been a fan of Michael Hedges and his style of music. But searching his music on Youtube I ran into this 20 something kid. Erik Mongrain, this is some of the best guitar work I've seen in awhile. I know some people who do the tapping thing just for show, but the melody of these songs are catchy and beautiful. I'm blown away.

    it's really cool but a limited technique. after about 2 songs its all the same.

    none the less. spiffarific.

    Yeah, I've seen something similar to that before as well. I really dig it.

    Although I really dig this, both songs sound quite similar. Looks pretty difficult to master.

    My thoughts are this.

    Incredible but I do agree both songs sound very similar. Left hand bass, right hand percusive with some tapped harmonics. Reminds me of Justin King except he plays it upright like a normal guitar.

    I would love to play like that but would think hearing that over and over would be a little boring.

    Here is my favorite acoustic player who happens to play in a more traditional sense.
