Erik Mongrain learned guitar on his own, composed his own music and discovered Jean-Sebastian Bach's classical guitar melodies, which he learned by heart. During that time, he discovered and experimented a technique, which was unknown to him until then, 'lap taping' - 'I immediately adopted that technique.' With the guitar on his lap, he taped the cords as if it were a piano. The effect was spectacular. Erik is a musician who is constantly researching and exploring the world of music.[cargo]
