Background:
Erik Mongrain was born in Montral Canada. He has been playing since the age of 14 and is mainly self-taught, picking up his music by ear. After playing electric guitar for four years, he discovered Bach started classical acoustic playing and taught himself to read music.

At 18, he heard a CD by guitarists Don Ross and Michael Hedges. As a result he began to play with his lap tapping style.

Check out his web site for music and video or visit his online forum.

  1. The airtap is cool but the guy is sooo overrated and to boot his sound is so process he might as well play electric but if he did he wouldnt be very special at all. Hes good but there are many many better players constructing good melodic content and thats the hardest part. Advanced noodling with great techniques is just that.

  2. yknow.. this stuff is cool no doubt. But the guy is way overated. He might as well be playing electric as the sound is so processed and if he did he wouldnt be so special anymore. There are many better players. The guy is decent but not a god .. far from it.
