Jon Gomm Masterclass Video

Jon Gomm is an acoustic singer-songwriter with an incredible virtuoso guitar style, where he uses one acoustic guitar to create drum sounds, basslines and sparkling melodies all at the same time, and combining styles from blues and jazz to rock and pop. The emphasis is still on the soulful vocals and songwriting however, and his original material is influenced by everything from Robert Johnson to Radiohead.

[@MrChriss19994]

I was watching this video just to see how he does what he does and wasn't expecting him to go into "Surrender"

[@elvxxx]

Absolutely, i will learn this lick to bluff on music store.

[@MrJdsenior]

And that, my friends, is what a world class guitarist looks like.

[@axleblaze123]

The tuning peg trick is so good. Chills every time

[@sankalpakumar6258]

Ming Wu can I have your phone number, please !

[@AndrewPotterton]

Of course, playing a musical instrument uses all of your body, mind and soul. Jon is a good example of this pursuit, art, and evolution.

[@ThePimDizzle]

He's got everything. He's got a lot. He's quick. He's fast. And he's got pace.

[@HelloxImxBrandon]

With a band, there's more of a possibility of disagreements with band mates; whereas by himself, there's no tension in disagreeing with your own ideas.

[@jaydevine1969]

I love the fact Jon is from my home town, I had the chance to sit and chat with him out side a pub in fleet wood and he's a really nice guy and willing to chat to any of his fans :) amazing work Jon keep it up man!!

[@StephenTrotterRichard]

Absolutely astounding what one man can do with a guitar. And guitarists all over the world owe musicians such as this so much, they really pave the way. Also the fact that they are willing to give master classes is fantastic, it allows other musicians to gain some insight into the genius they possess. Please don't stop creating music which makes my jaw drop every time I hear it.

[@georgegrewal8797]

This guy is so inspiring

[@Alexo1954]

It's all very well, Jon, for you to explain how your guitar is a drum kit, but that doesn't explain your outrageous talent!!

[@bennemann]

He does. He says he began playing guitar at four. It's not so much innate talent as it is hard work, all his life, since the tenderest age.

[@oggaming7362]

The word talent undermines the action of a lifetime of dedicated practice. He's been playing guitar since he was 4.

[@scottcheyenne2002]

that is a great performance of passionflower-- need to have that uninterrupted!!

[@Infamous_Mr_Gates]

his approach to guitar/drums/percussion/songwriting is just astounding. A year ago I saw his Passionflower video, and it changed how I viewed the instrument and it's musical limitlessness forever. :)

[@fanolinux]

this guy is awesome....i've been following jon Gomm for quite a good time, and I never get tired of listening to him

[@DaveDoomm]

Who dislikes this? This man is a genius

[@thegratefulbrad3072]

I can't for the life of me tell if he's in DADGAD. I can't believe I just found this guy today. Thanks.

[@AdamRowleygrowley]

drumstik The tuning he uses is Eb, G, Bb, F, G, Bb BUT! you may want to use it a whole tone higher, F, A, C, G, A, C It'll work better with normal strings then

[@thegratefulbrad3072]

Thanks, I'm a bit old and set in my ways for new exotic tunings. There is so much cool guitar stuff on You Tube. I'd be guitar God if I had this when I was an acid fueled kid. :)

[@logandogan272]

@@thegratefulbrad3072 I miss acid. Need to get me a tab or three

[@greglarry11]

wish the background music was not there when he is talking.

[@giantenemybird2687]

This is the most I've ever been entertained by watching someone play the guitar. Wow.

[@Tegenwind]

Surrender, found on Jon's album called "Don't Panic"

[@avoox00]

simply a genius

[@donovanwalker9019]

Passionflower

[@Backfireoftheworld]

Wow I have been doing percussive stuff on guitar for about two years now. I have to say his approach is the cleanest I have ever seen. Realm the only problem I can see is it requires a little more equipment. I have to say in terms of caliber he is the best guitarist I have ever seen.

[@MrJdsenior]

Definitely one of them give Tommy Emanuel a try..rainbow and classical gas to start. He is another. If you like him and want some more names, just ping me. ;-)

[@rorschach775]

It's still fun to play in a band. I wouldn't say more fun, they're both pretty awesome.

[@TomMills]

There is hope of playing guitar for all your bodhran players out there... or vice versa :) .. amazing!!

[@oscarcastillo6779]

Awesome, good song too O

[@afroafro94]

Magic...that's the only explanation I could come up with...magic

[@MartinBergnerGuitar]

insane

[@zinofellazzi]

la tua arte nella chitarra è intensa e ricca di sfumature, ciò amplia di tanto le potenzialità della chitarra come strumento armonico e percussivo, credo davvero che la tua sia la strada giusta da percorrere, che in qualche modo unisce il passato più profondo con il futuro prossimo di questo strumento. complimenti.

[@brandonterrazas9079]

Rodrigo Y Gabriela is duo with a similar playstyle. This man is a gift to those who hear him

[@douglasmorton632]

Sheeeeiiittttt! This is taking multi-tasking to a scary level! I think I'm doing well just fingerstyling a sequence of chords in the right order! Thing is, this doesn't come across as a gimmick, ,it sounds really good, he's definitely up there with Tommy Emmanuel but I've never heard of him before?

[@sankalpakumar6258]

Douglas Morton correct

[@keithmore5046]

Wow Jon, this is a brilliant lesson and the performance out of this world... thank you.

[@marksmith4126]

totally,entirely,AMAZING.

[@EricLAMIDIEU]

Excellent! You show us others ways. Thanks you.

[@himanshuvora1980]

superb.....

[@johnnyharmonica4060]

Thank you for teaching me SOoooo MUCH...playin' right NOW...thx again

[@harrypatterson6955]

your sire are a genius!

[@Thisacchasnewsongs]

Yes, it's called practice.

[@stavrosxakis]

music isnt about names but feelings.

[@Pixovision]

Surrender - Jon Gomm thats the name of the example, and the intro song is passionflower

[@rsmangrum73]

Truly awesome...

[@LaObraDeMarteLODM]

I am a big fan and this is like the second video I see from you... OH MY GOD> this guy is amazingggg.

[@peneleapai]

whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ..... thank you for sharing !!!!! x

[@ThatPianoGuyHezron]

this is definitely, this is amazing, unique and special

[@Qwerty789LL]

so great

[@UliHeim]

Really fantastic and very inspirational. THANKS JON!

[@LaTesea]

Que maravilla😍😍😍

[@jazzyb824]

The wobbling is because of post-process image stabilization. You can see the Tech logo in the top right dancing around because of it. It keeps Jon's guitar stable so we can see what he's doing, but distorts the background. Still though, great vid.

[@ThEMuZicJuNky93]

Amazing! Absolute genius!

[@seamusbrowne4909]

I bet his Local Guitar Shop goes into immediate Lockdown when they see him coming.😂🤣😂

[@frandeery3758]

Awesome just no other word for this gifted man :-))

[@skisavoie]

Bloody brilliant, must buy a guitar :-)

[@KazziKolorZz]

You make it look so freaking easy. Shit is not easy.

[@mrfrogman3447]

That was the day i put down my guitar and became good at listening

[@user-zr5jm2kv4m]

KZbinだから見た目が映えるほうがウケがいいからなとスクールの先生はいうけど別にそんなことはないと思うけど…曲がいいしね。

[@guusstorm5912]

He's a genius!

[@edoggydog]

Simply amazing cant wait to see him perform live next week. But not that this has anything to do with music but its a great business idea - Jon Gomm should release his own condom line called 'GomDoms' just need a good tag line now

[@Eoneryn]

офигенно

[@OPensad0r]

Steve Vai Style... VERYYYYYYY COOOOL

[@darrenogden7962]

+OPensad0r and Vai got it from Zappa

[@Kyratoxx]

lol

[@drxkoolaidx1731]

playing guitar like this kinda seems like a cult thing to me, seeing as how Ive been searching for months on a place to get some solid advice and structured lessons on this style and have found very little. so many people want to learn but cant unless they go to berkley or some other crazy expensive academic hall. you are a very good teacher sir perhaps you should make a dvd set or something to fully enlighten others who would enjoy this gift as much as you.

[@gnarddog]

The name of the song in the background was Passionflower

[@jameshardman6727]

awesome voice too OMG he must be GOD

[@jameshardman6727]

but bloody amazing though!

[@MrJdsenior]

"If you're a percussionist, you should get a guitar"....Funny, but after the demo, I kind of agree with him.

[@stamatis369]

if i gather an army of zombies....will i be able to play passionflower?

[@gayalpret2032]

At your back side of your guitar what is it.. could you please tell me.. Wanna buy the equipment... If you explain it

[@jameshardman6727]

if he played in a band he wouldnt have to worry about doing all these percussive things and its more fun to play in a band

[@jacquesnaude3553]

fuck this guy is good !!

[@mloyd64]

Jon Gomm has 4 brains

[@2727mayank]

fucking brilliant!!

[@stevechamberland6657]

he sounds a lot more aussie than i ever guessed by his singing

[@mohammadyousuf8977]

Sir can you breakdown amin toofani rythm please a tutorial

[@awma1975]

Playing by tuning ... interesting. I can see it first time.

[@BuyingScratchoffsFTW]

this guy

[@ashleygraham6498]

Ah my fuck! What is that song and why can't I find a full version?! If he's made that up on the fly and not made a full version of it I think I might go mad! O.O

[@tomasvtk]

Surrender - Jon Gomm.

[@TritoneChris]

Is there a Jon Gomm pill we can take?

[@greezall]

thats because he needs the space for the drum and percussion style-if the strap was in the common place it would be in his way.. not sure if thats true though ;D

[@khalid7377]

HOW? HOW???

[@LaObraDeMarteLODM]

You can't practice this. This is just innate talent. No matter how many hours anyone practice. No body will be able to play the way Jon Gomm plays cause this is some how a Divine gift.

[@rlvj19871234]

What is the m'fuckin' tuning to the intro song in this video. Never heard anything like it. Amazing

[@Hellion6325]

The song he's teaching is called surrender.. I can't reply to ppl cuz I'm on my phone ;-;

[@ChienJaune01]

Probably both.

[@user-hn7kq7kh5z]

Steve Vai on acoustic guitar))))))

[@11anonomys]

I don't know what the big deal is, this is really pretty easy.

[@z0mgzt0m]

Anyone else noticed the way he wears the strap?

[@guitboy85]

It must be the rubber pencil illusion...Or the video is actually on acid; the neck on his guitar and the mic stand are bending.

[@lato20may20]

wanna hear it without artificial reverbs

[@Stickmasterrr]

Was that a sitar on 08:50?

[@vlad071096]

Fuck!!! It's better than any Tommies, Igors, Sunghas, Andys, Dons etc.

[@MateoHrastnik]

Is the camera tracking the guitar, so the guitar is always in the same place relative to the frame, or am I drunk?

[@p4wel1sko]

See... computers can just do anything.... Greetings from Poland.

[@GialluHRP]

the song at 7:25???

[@superagnitio]

wh what effects does he use to get his sound?

[@BrunoGsanto]

whats is the name of music??

[@joeroest4327]

Mark holms

[@juliechristensen804]

What is the name of the intro song he plays?!

[@SteveGleeson]

It's one of his songs called Passionflower. Amazing song :)

[@pranit90ce]
