FFS!! HOW HAS THIS, AND EVERY OTHER ANGELIC PIECE OF ART ERIK HAS COMPOSED NOT BEEN APPRECIATED AS MUCH AS IT SHOULD BE??? The amount of practice, precision and passion that has gone into this and everything else Erik has composed is nothing short of outstanding. Undoubtedly & undeniably best guitarist of all time!! Do your research and fight me..

Mr Mongrain, probably you're not the most talented guitar player out there, but I can tell you one thing that I'm pretty sure; you're the most expressive musician I've ever heard, you speak throw that guitar, words that can only be told using a heart, Congratulations and thank you From Colombia :D

Hi, Mr Mongrain, I buy your cd at the day one, the first thing I have do when I woke up. Forward is your best work, to explain what u give to me with your music I need to write a book, so many worlds and dimensions u create. I don't care if in the contest I will not be a winner, is an honor and a pleasure to support u. And support u is one of the many things that I want to do in my life. Take care, and thanks to make my life better with your genius.

Hey Erik, awesome song and congrats on the new release. One question though: Somewhere I read you wanted to do more composing (film music?), less touring. So, do you want to keep it acoustic, or are you also going to play other instruments or have people play them for you? Also would you do acoustic versions of those and tour with them? :-P regards
