Beautiful guitar instr. by Erik Mongrain

Check this out:

Erik Mongrain

He's playing a Rainsong guitar, and it sounds very good. I like how relaxed this guy is when he's playing, and the seamless routine for moving from flatpick to fingerstyle and back again.

What'sa matter? He isn't folky enough for you?

Clever stuff, LH, and a cool guitar - just doesn't float my personal boat I'm afraid (and it doesn't matter whether it's folk or anything else).

I thought, from your initial post, he might be indulging in "hybrid" picking - i.e. pick'n fingers - like, say Richard Thompson or Jerry Donahue.

Whatever - thanks for posting. If we never looked at anything new, we'd never find anything new.

Thanks, Little Hawk. I enjoyed it.

Not many people around at the Mudcat early on a Saturday. Don't lose hope.
