All of Jons songs have so much emotion, but hearing that strum 9 years prior still resonates in me. That raw sound, seeing him in his socks on stage, feeling the whole thing as we all were. Amazing

[@tylerdurden9803]

What i respect from Jon is the fact he could choose money and fame by going on BGT or some show. Instead he chooses music over everything else. What a talent, and a very humble man too when i met him :-)

[@BrianZhangMusic]

The work of a modern master. Jon Gomm is magic.

[@jessekayne2384]

Your sound in these videos is fking amazing. I can hear every subtle nuance. Yet another masterfully performed and recorded track. It earns an honorary spot on my playlist. Thank you Jon and Wilma. I love you both!

[@roblamb4848]

Jon, you're a modern day virtuoso, the fact that you can create these songs let alone play them is simply staggering, best wishes to you and that old beat up guitar. :)

[@gutslappa]

Fucking unbelievable You don't need a band because you /are/ the whole band! Absolutely incredible skill.

[@messy113]

love this....Admiral Rickover's got the blues!!

[@phoenixsplash135]

Man was not meant to be this awesome

[@otonilix174]

phoenixsplash135 sold his soul. Thats the only explanation. LOL!

[@ruberband29]

As always amazing work Jon! Cheers from Brazil.

[@erikgrundy]

I think my favourite part of this is how energetic you are, and how much you are obviously enjoying playing the song. Brilliant!

[@natacruz9848]

Amazing, Jon! When are you coming to Brazil? You got devoted fans from here!

[@Deffrall]

Jon Gomm, you're an absolutly genius, thank you for everything you do!

[@AmagrasMUSIC]

Well, I can not beat the great comments here: well done Jon, this is now a great morning and your guitar sounds better than ever!!

[@XSimonEntertainmentX]

My favourite song of yours and the first one I learned as well. Hoped for years that a tab would get released so I could double check. Now it's here! I feel very happy. :)

[@totscantor258]

Esse cara é simplismente magnífico!

[@jackstroem1324]

Always puts a smile on my face! Let me know if you have a gig in gothenburg, sweden and need a place to stay!

[@The_River5453]

Speechless was this one🤘 Jon Gomm is the all syllabus of guitar playing.

[@tr.o.ubadour6559]

Everytime I get stunned again by this incredibly unique way to play and the passion you put in there. Please never stop!

[@pookamcphellimy8540]

Great stuff Jon. Guitars were made for you man. Your style reminds me a bit of the late great Rory Gallagher. Check out his classic "Out on a Western Plain" (live in Cork). Would love to see and hear your version.

[@jongomm]

+Pooka McPhellimy Love that track. RIP Rory

[@LucaMarinelliguitar]

You're just amazing, no other words would describe you!

[@Kovain1812]

Amazing rhythms as always Jon!

[@wilsonnoblemusic]

Excellent! Nice one Jon.

[@TheAlphaWolfer]

Awesome track Jon. It would be amazing if you and Josh Martin of Little Tybee did some collaboration. The two of you are at the leading edge of developing new guitar techniques and sounds, it would be cool to see what you could think of together!

[@jongomm]

+UpperEchelon He's a wonderful guitarist, so inventive.

[@matesdantesable]

That sound... Jon Gomm you are badass. x)

[@seanms35]

That was inspiring. Thank you!

[@phoenixnew]

Awesome song! When are you coming back to Scotland? I saw you in Airdrie and you were absolutely fantastic!

[@paulmacrath8985]

Amazing as always

[@letsrace567]

This reminds me so much of Aerial Boundaires... great tune.

[@Kamour]

Amazing stuff ! You are, in my opinion, the best guitarist (alive or not) in the world, no joking. You are such an inspiration for me, and I would like to thank you for that ! Are you going to do "tutorial" videos for 1 or 2 of your songs, for example, as Andy Mckee did ? (Sorry for my bad english btw, i'm french^^)

[@thefaballanon]

There's so much Michael Hedges in this song ... great!!!

[@danielveigasoficial3408]

Vem pro Brasil Jon

[@IsraelBorochov]

[@SheWillRide]

LOVE YOU MAN!!!!!!!!

[@StefanosKoutelis]

- How many guitarists does it take to change a lightbulb? - Just Gomm. None will complain!

[@jongomm]

I prefer the darkness.

[@R0d35]

+Jon Gomm " - How many guitarists does it take to change a lightbulb? Anyone, except Gomm" ?

[@rodiebobwilliams1330]

Last time I heard that joke, was from Steve Morse in Dallas when he opened a show for Al Dimeola.. Punch line was one to duet and 7 to sit there and say "I can do that"....Doesnt apply here..I cant do that! Lol
