Amazing. Moving. Incredible. Just a few of the much-deserved words of praise heaped upon Canadian acoustic guitar genius, the 28-yr-old guitarist Erik Mongrain. As a teenager inspired by Bach to Metallica, and Hendrix to Don Ross, Erik began to experiment with a technique known as lap tapping, in which the player lays the guitar across their lap, and taps the strings on the fret board with both hands. Interspersed with classical technique and jazz/pop sensibilities, here is a truly unique musician and entertainer. Recommended!!
