Jon Gomm - Loveproof

[@Sammychangable]

Jon Gomm is one of very few people who know the true secrets and emotions inside an acoustic guitar, you're amazing Jon!

[@leogodinez9334]

It is just now that got acquainted with Jon Gomm, and I must say... Does this guy have two brains or somethings? lol... I've listened to many fingerstyle guitarists but I never thought that the guitar could be played like this. Superbly great material :)

[@bluxpretion]

What an old gem

[@guitarded82]

this guy just wanders around..Jon Gomm is one of the most incredible talents you or I will ever see on this planet. Feel privileged you seen this vid

[@mikedawesofficial]

Great song Jon, really strong melodies. Poor Lowden :( Best of luck with the album

[@dimitridessources8478]

are people even allowed to be this good? Jon, keep doing what you're doing man you have an amazing gift.

[@nancyl2]

The Harmonics fill your whole being-ness cannot be described IT must be experienced. Much like love. This music can heal any broken heart take away the pain + fear that have a hold on Humanity at the moment. Jon your Mastery handling the strings, using the keys to change voicing amazingly Artistic abilities I have not seen at one time. I am in awe. This music is Love. What a gift when special beings send them your way + synchronicities come along that are so amazing this is not chance. 5*+++

[@jongomm]

Only 4 shows left in Canada now: Lévis, Montreal, Rouyn-Noranda and St. John's, Newfoundland. It's been amazing so far, thanks to everyone who's showed up, every gig has been packed!

[@DrEviiL23]

Thats a great answer. A proof that your music comes from your soul. Thats rare nowadays.

[@andreholm]

Jon : Please come to Norway!!! I love your playing, not just because its original, but you are a star :-)

[@marcschelz]

I still remember when someone showed me this video for the first time and back then I did not understand what I watched. Now almost every time I see this video and listen to the song it makes me cry.

[@betterbutterstutter]

He's feeling the music. It's something special when you can physically see someone's music come out. That's the best kind of passion there is.

[@rolfedrengen]

You really know how to handle that guitar, tune it to sound the way that suits your plaing, move your fingers, use technology (like realtime pitch-tools), and write great melodies. In this track you challenge the musically minded people, and you do it very well - and in the same time, this could be a hit-line. Respect, from a muscian to another musician. You are outstanding, sir.

[@rockemsockemrobot1]

Jon..... this is absolutely fantastic! Please come to Sam Houston State University in Texas and melt the faces of this wonderful fine arts program. Truly a God given talent you have sir.

[@darkffur]

@jongomm A show with Andy McKee would be really amazing, I think I'd move from Quebec to see wherever you perform, your music is amazing, thanks for teaching women that men can do more than one thing at once! Great work!

[@brandonlievano1329]

I can't believe what I'm seeing and hearing. This is incredible.

[@otleyperson]

A perfect balance of song, performance and video. I really like this. And , being me, I can hear a lovely echo of "All Along the Watchtower" in it. A bonus!

[@charliepipe9399]

Still my favourite Jon Gomm song in 2021

[@Rickles]

A breath of fresh air. Music lives!

[@skimmingstones1]

Been on KZbin loads can't believe I only just found you !!!! I have no words to describe how original and spectacular you are Jon I am you new number one fan !!!! So talented its sick

[@kirbyman036]

Finally some good music of this generation

[@matu90rk]

wow, those harmonics are out of this world

[@janetbastable9615]

Keep being who you are its the toughest thing to do in this world but well worth it....I admire your talent and am touched by your music... :-)

[@666Metalbassist]

his techniques are so multi-dimensional and creative, its like reinventing the acoustic guitar haha kudos to you Mr. Gomm

[@SoundofMuzak91]

What a masterpiece Jon! Very moving and inspiring melodies.

[@Daneruuu]

I like how I can tell how old one of your songs is by looking at the wear on the guitar.

[@khadja1]

been there and now listening to all your songs on youtube, can't get enough :) thank you Mr. Gomm for a great evening yesterday (you have been my birthday gift for my guitar playing father and brother) !

[@Frlja]

Dear Jon, I Just found out about you and I am happy as hell I did. You are incredible, instantly I can put you among people like Paco De Lucia, Tommy Emmanuel, Knopfler etc. You are unique and incredibly talented and it is a joy to watch you and listen to you, especially when you are a novice guitar player like me. Simply stunning what you can do with our beloved guitar. Keep up the good work!

[@NuclearDropOut]

I recently lost my eldest son, your music gives me the will to carry on. Thank you Jon.

[@2WinGs2]

Excellent song, excellent place, excellent performance. Nice to meet your music JonGomm, I wish you all the best. :)

[@johangustavsson5880]

You have a beautiful soul. I can tell by the inspiration that your music fills me with. It keeps me going as a person and keeps me playing my instrument as a musician. I'm a fan, needless to say.

[@jongomm]

@raskolnikov1873 Thanks! To answer your questions: I studied classical guitar from an early age, I had guitar lessons all through school then went on to The Guitar Institute in London, then Leeds College of Music to study jazz. The guitar is a Lowden O12, and the pickups are a Carlos Juan under-saddle, and a Fishman Rare Earth Blend.

[@Jazga]

Insanely good stuff Jon... When I first was watching one of your vids... I was thinking wow... He is doing all that tapping/sctarching/tuning mid song stuff at the same time... and then you started to sing on top of it and my jaw hit the floor. Spirit of Hedges is strong with this one

[@Loryxxxxx]

i know the one is most enjoying your music is you,i can feel the love through your playing man,thank you ;)

[@failuzre]

Don't listen to what other people say, you're an amazing talented person Jon.

[@jongomm]

AUSTRALIA tour starts this week! Geelong, Melbourne, Braidwood, Central Coast NSW, Cronulla, Sydney, Byron Bay, Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, Newcastle and Adelaide.

[@epitagorasvieirapachecopit7158]

Maravilha uma luz diante do um atual contexto musical, tão carente de criatividade...essa é aprova de que música não é barulho nem gritedo...

[@rob.ot._]

Pessoas diferentes, mentes diferentes, maneiras diferentes de se expressar através da música. Cada um tenta expor o que se passa dentro de si de maneira pessoal. Uns de maneiras mais "calma", outros de maneira mais enérgica, e por muitos, considerada "barulhenta". Mas é algo pessoal, não tem essa de que "ou é só isso ou só aquilo". A arte tem essa liberdade. Abraço.

[@rob.ot._]

Claro que tem muitos que não tem feito um bom uso de sua criatividade, mas quem somos nós pra julgá-los, não é ? De qualquer forma, essa música do Jon é ótima ! :D

[@Marley123451]

Come play in Bradford, you'd definitely get a big crowd. People really appreciate good music here.

[@jongomm]

I've decided to throw open the support slots for this Spring's UK gigs to local musicians.

Solo artists, bands, poets, comedians, magicians... anything welcome. :)

[@gertnood]

Good on you for opening the door like that. Love your music.

[@chrisoma4]

Jon Gomm I realize I'm in the wrong country and a couple months late but if I posted a video of one of my songs on your event page (if it's even still on facebook) would you watch it anyways? You are by far the biggest musical inspiration for me and I think that would become very noticeable once you heard some of my stuff. I'm almost done with my first album just trying to get my name out there. I would love to get your opinion of my music and what my next step should be!

[@ronnyschutze7171]

I'm soooo looking forward seeing you in Germany next year. That will be the concert of the year for me.

[@MICKRIX09]

This guy is brilliant and a real nice guy to top it all

[@That1JUANguy]

Stay true to yourself and your music Jon! You'll always have a fan here man.

[@Patnurse1]

Beautiful music, played with the soul, and heavenly background scenes. I love it.

[@bruno1ero]

Beautifull You are THE BEST, JON. What a feeling, what a playing, what a way to write music, what a creativity, what a way to play the guitar. please, come to mexico to play a concert PLEASE. Do you have any transcription of this song???? is tehre any music sheet book of your songs ??? Would you film a video teaching how to play this song????

[@nancyl2]

At 5:00--> to the end when Jon works those keys he uses to voice his strings I am just in awe. Not only a Master of creation of lyrics and score but of HIS INSTRUMENT. Amazing for sure. Thanks Jon for your magnificent artistry. Bless you. :-))

[@a1211121121112111]

Sing-along! They live in a lighthouse Where they keep each other safe and warm And wait the night out Til the morning crashes on the shore She finds the deepest grooves that cannot be resisted But you can’t force a man to listen Loveproof He says he loves her And he knows he’ll mean it some day soon The stars above her couldn’t make her feel any smaller So she will write a song where they can live together She’ll weave a tangled tune to bind forever Loveproof You can’t lead

[@jakecook697]

Dude john ur music is awesome.. really man it keeps getting better.. so chilled!

[@guil_juliao]

You are my favorite artist man! USA is already waiting for you my friend. Please keep us informed with the US tours! God bless you talent.

[@kleinjogg]

How beautiful. Thank you. Cheers from Zurich.

[@rdouthwaite]

Simply stunning.

[@davidismiguel]

When I first saw one of your videos, I was knocked on my ass for about an hour. I had never before seen any one single musician capture the true essence of music quite as you do. I can tell you are very dedicated and have a passion for music. You have inspired me more than you could know and I wanted to say thank you.

[@MrSmbass1]

Music find of the day :) awesome playing. Keep music alive!!

[@ArcaneEnacrA]

Beautiful and inspiring as always. Cant wait for new songs!

[@foldingtype]

Well worth the wait, this is a damn fine song. Jon's vocals have improved, as has his playing. I'm genuinely looking forwards to the album.

[@97rafaraujo]

Thanks to your travel to Portugal, now i am a really big fan of you, love the way you use the tuning to your songs :)

[@azaricorindo]

Actually, i know music is not a competition but...you are so far away from others finger-style guitarrists, considering your high level and feeling...no one can be compared to you

[@jasonbatey2104]

Personally i prefer the fact that you are making the music you want to make how you want to make it, the fact you can do it all at the same time and just rock around and bust out such a full sound as one person is the attraction i think

[@suityou316]

Absolutely loving that, possible my new favourite of your stuff.

[@SentientNo6]

@jongomm I recently discovered your music as well when I saw your Passionflower video. Instantly fell in love with it and I couldn't help but order Hypertension and Don't Panic from your website. Couldn't be happier with them and I can't wait until your next album. True artists are hard to find these days, but you sir are one of them!

[@AndyMrSong]

this is the best voice plus the best fingerstyle!

[@painterx7]

Thank you , Jon , for introducing me to Michael Hedges .The Spirit is 0NE !

[@05bullbuster]

You are amazing Jon Gomm! My band teacher introduced me to your video "Passion Flower" addicted ever since. Know that a people are watching you! :D

Oh man, is there any chance you'll come by Columbus, Ohio?

[@MattBurnside]

Amazing stuff Jon. Love the vocal style and looking forward to hearing this one live.

[@Mouldytone]

Another beautifully melodic, floating, ethereal tune. You`ve changed my rather orthodox views on steel string acoustic guitar playing Jon. Previously I`ve respected the percussive, slap/tap players but haven`t really connected 100% with the tunes. Your playing seems to flow and dance. Not in a boring back ground music sort of way but more in the exciting tension similar to watching a tight rope walker a hundred metres above the ground kind of way. Lovely clip as well. Tony

[@bobcairns7239]

Hey Jon, 'hammering to the enth degree' superb! you pulled it all together in this one including the video, well done mate, inspirational!

[@merineri]

Really enchanting!! Maria Elena, Italy

[@jongomm]

@kimbarklor The tab is available from my website. Glad you like the song!

[@jacobrosemusic]

Wow, this is amazing! holy cow! Keep putting more up, this is fantastic

[@arianelopes5850]

*--* love ur songs ! Jon !

[@jongomm]

@yourmomsashoe I am classically trained, and trained in many other styles too! I attended the Guitar Institute, and Leeds College Of Music (a jazz school in the UK). Nowadays, I do play by ear though, they're just educated ears. :)

[@Raul1971xxx]

Jon, great playing and great singing. You are a worldclass.

[@bobcairns7239]

Hey Jon, 'hammering to the enth degree' superb! you pulled it all together in this one including the video, well done mate, inspirational! see you at Album release down Jolly Brewer.

[@bluedoorecording]

thank you for your music!

[@marutoxica5761]

felicitaciones por hacer una gran musica

[@TeaganTangent]

You're right Jon, I'm truly sorry. Your talent speaks for itself. I have no filter and come off rude when I don't mean to be. And despite our different tastes in fashion, I still tell people you're my favorite guitarist and expose them to your musix.

[@khirkhe]

Thank you Jon!

[@nkidbush]

@jongomm sweet! I seriously just heard passionflower the other day thanks to stumbleupon, and I'm glad I did! hopefully some of your cd's will be rolling my way this Christmas season!

[@PhilGooch]

That's really nice, hope the new album is a great success!

[@Guzzi_Pete]

Jon - glad I happened upon this. It's truly the most beautiful piece I have heard in a long while. You are an inspiration.... in fact I created a KZbin account just so I post a comment ( never felt the urge before ).... Off to buy the albums on your website now ;-)

[@randercrf]

Jon Gomm tenque vim pro brasil o cara e muito fera no violão nunca vii ninguem tocar com ele e ainda cantar pow e muito foda

[@Brux2Golf]

Fantastic

[@Holdino_]

Jon Gomm, you make the internet beautiful again.

[@guitar5289]

Wow, that was beautiful. So glad to have found your music. You are very inspiring :)

[@raskolnikov1873]

Thanks for replying Jon. I first heard about you yesterday and it reminds me of when I first heard Tommy Emmanuel play: just jaw-dropping. It reaffirms my love of the instrument and convinces me again that the harmonic and expressive possibilities of the guitar are unlimited. Your technique is astounding, but the cool thing is how you use it to generate such diverse moods and melodic effects. Brilliant! Thanks for the inspiration. I noticed you have an album on itunes: I will be buying it.

[@Ollarion]

Jon Gomm always plays my background music for when I'm working :D
