Jon Gomm - Passionflower

[TheElementXYZ]

how could you possibly dislike this?

[ear8dmg]

Worldwide banjo peg shortage announced as guitarists flock in their droves to fit the things...

[Bl4ckBasecoat]

Oh god when you do the main riff in the beginning... My brain melts into a fractal pattern, making roses in my mind... Gaaaaaahh!

[gerrymandering18]

I wonder how many sets of strings he's gone through...

[TheDusty182]

This song makes me so happy every time I hear it which has been about 1,714,000 times.

[beckhighways]

Not only very impressive, but beautiful.

[kabloo12]

@BlackWhiteBlur Jonn Gomm, making EVERYONE retire since 2011

[TheHotboy94]

Wow 1.7 million views I seen this when it had like 50 thousand incredible.

[bennysturg]

Men can't multitask..?

[TheSirenSoundtrack]

[TheDusty182]

@TheSirenSoundtrack our music*



[jmsquis]

dude you're pretty fucking rad. So keen to see you in sydney. First concert I havent had to ask people to go along too.:)

[beergoggleprophet]

i think this guy just won at guitar

[jmeiskues]

this man is a man

[Nigel4ADayLike]

127 people's weakness is weakness.

[afaultytoaster]

this song is very beautiful but also sad.i intrpret the lyrics as meaning that we're shaped by our social existence and that limits our ability to express ourselves, even though it's also the only way we can do so

[bugsfx]

Father of Multi-tasking.

[nonhaniente]

You are one of the best i've seen. RESPECT!!! Cheers from Argentina :)

[thomasalun123]

Amazing. I'm off to hit my head on the floor.

[VvRushvV]

don't get me wrong, i love this stuff. but i find it hard to believe you get such perfect drum tones right out of a guitar! i was just wondering, do you put your hits through any EQ or processing? nevertheless, your talent freezes me. this is amazing

[jongomm]

To answer the question - There's no autotune on the vocals, I don't believe in such things, I'd rather be out of tune, and I doubt I can afford an autotuner anyway! :D There is an octave effect on the vocals though, creating that low "harmony", which gives it a weird artificial sound, which I thought lent a fitting unreality to the song, especially in the chorus.

[imfkinsad]

@jongomm that effect really suit the chorus...and amazing....:)

[rploeger]

This song is so awesome it wouldn't let me pause the video

[Hump4Dinkl3]

k well this will be the last video i watch cause im going to kill myself

[SteveAlysis]

Its not auto tune ... its a pedal vocal harmonizer. You can hear the harmonies if you listen.

Makes me like it more!

[orlandoando89]

who the fuck cares if he's using a bit of autotune. if he plays the guitar that way and even dares to still sing it himself?! fuck it people. not all autotune, or technical arrangemetens are bad at all. He's a fucking genious, enjoy the music guys!

[Blyledge]

"The mp3 and guitar tab for this song are available from"

Yeah, good fucking luck trying to play it.

[djschoolcraftmusic]

oh my god jon gomm, you can fuck my bitch jon gomm...

[snowday9999]

Haha, the "guitar tab" to this would be about as useful to me as teats on a boar

[SOMEFUCKINCHINO]

126 assholes!!!!!!

[Deadbyapril0804]

clap, clap, mother fucking clap. nuff said. Best song ever.

[8ghosts]

holy shit

[tshadowh]

I think this is the most amazing song i've ever listened my whole life

[Dimothian]

Sometimes you just come across things that make you happy you're alive...

[ThePanicMoon]

It's just so....chill....n.n <3

[HARDROCKGLAM2011]

as 126 pessoas que não gostam preferem Michel Teló!

[BoatManBeats]

CRAZY. This guy is Truly Best friends with his Guitar. Soul Matched with his guitar. Beautiful ...

[msjojolalafy]

[emiliobmusic]

I can do that, I just don't wanna.

[ROM935]

[chickingsavedbygrace]

[grillinho4]

CHUCK NORRIS

[kornamo]

'scuse my french, but that was FUCKING AMAZSOME. You're like the Steve Vai of the acoustic, but you sing like a god on top of it all!

[BlackWhiteBlur]

Jon Gomm, making drummers retire since 2011.

[agrov8tr]

correction....126 dicks in the ears.



[GuitarLucius]

I think I have a man crush on your guitar playing mate. Kick ass work! Cheers, Lucius

[butterflybeingborn]

[CtrlAItFU]

[ILovethissongnow]

[hvmm92]

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G

[jesussaddle]

Truly one of the greatest artistic performances ever - even the originality here is original!

[margaritaESP2007]

I want to have this man's children. Lol

[jaron0103]

I was lost in perfect sanity for six minutes and twenty four seconds

[henzinador]

FRIEND OF CHUCK NORRIS xD

[Kimosabe08]

[definistrate1]

[josimonkeyman]

how do you give an acoustic guitar overdrive?

[TheDusty182]

@josimonkeyman pedal

[josimonkeyman]

why isn't this on candyrat's channel of favorites?!?!

[TheDusty182]

@josimonkeyman I don't think he is affiliated with candyrat

[tobto1]

enormous vast one man orchestra which open hearted and simple. Love your distorted sound, Jon. Soo clear, impressive.Tanita loves you! Too much words from me.. sorry. NICE!!!

[ryanphillips1986]

Jon Gomm will be at Proud Camden, London tomorrow.

Go to View London to get your £5 ticket.

[poada2008]

[poada2008]

Xxxxx

[300imperium]

This is amazing stuff! Love it! Seen some amazing my guitarists in my time...looks like another gig is on the horizon to see another one! :P

[junglistninja]

fucking class!!!!!!

[DRUMMERSPIROS]

123 people must not have taste in music!

[Jamez182]

Jon, how did you double the vocals? It's great how there is a harmony and only one voice. Just wondered how you acheived it.

[ear8dmg]

@Jamez182 Octaver pedal

[khalid7377]

The most talented man I've seen in a long time. This is utterly stunning.

[matkica23ify]

This performance made me feel tingling....such an incredible thing to listen !

[recordingforfun]

baaaaaamm! ... such an indescribable power! goose flesh!

[blakewooten]

The fact that he plays what he is playing WHILE singing is enough to make me want to put down my guitar forever.

[dale4234]

omg he was amazing i wont to now if he was heled back in school ^_^

[ManoftheMists]

Jon Gomm looks a bit like Chuck Norris. Would make sense... *squints*

[MrLuy25]

hey jon, just wondering if you've purposely scratched the finish off your guitar to get a good tone with the scratches? or if you have any more tips to do with the tone of the percussive side of the piece? im having trouble imitating that sound. bought the tab and has been useful. i am trying to learn for my year 12 final exam!

inspiring piece, looking forward to seeing you in melbourne!!

[edzillas1]

there are 123 people that got pissed off at the level of talent in this video... envy is the cause of dislikes...

[frylocdub]

man talk about multi tasking haha....

[ChrisTheBible]

This is really amazing your music is great, and it's really helpful for me at the moment i only just found about you maybe an hour ago? but i love it, Thanks for the music.

[sunmachine100]

Wow.

[flipsideprodutions]

123 people have dicks in their ears.

[xxxxxxSURFACINGxxxxx]

@flipsideprodutions I usually think comments like that are extremely dumb, but i must say that I have a problem an issue figuring out how not to like this song...

[dravenheissel]

It's simply amazing...

[Rockerboy1976]

Maaaaaan! It's amazing! :)

[MrFuck2012]

Fucking amazing

[bugsfx]

Come to Porto Alegre - Brazil. <3

[jongomm]

Next gig - LONDON! This Wednesday March 7th at Proud, Camden. For tickets, just google "jon gomm proud camden tickets". See you there! :)

[copingstrategy]

@jongomm Shit! Can't do Wednesday. When again are you playing in London?

[qJesseMusic]

@jongomm London is so lucky. Hope you have a great time!

[craigredline]

@jongomm You'll be selling physical cds at the show, right? Can't wait for the gig!

[jevjev1000]

@jongomm what!? the 7th?! that's today!! DAMN IT! :(

[MadMonkeyBoy08]

@jongomm DAMN IT! I'm a day late for seeing this. If I saw this at the right time, I wouldn't have missed it for the world!

[thebowbells]

@jongomm Damn, its the 10th today and I've just discovered you a day too late to see you play in London Mr Jon Gomm. You don't by any chance happen to be playing anywhere else in London before you head off to Belgium? 

[DefinitionsUK]

123 people are jealous as hell.

[AadamPe]

Simply amazing!

[fundibula]

WOW WOW WOW!!!!

[SilentKnight762]

Oh my lord! You possess a beautiful gift. Please, for any reason, never stop playing. Thanks for sharing.

[quirelll]

@SilentKnight762 One can not simply posess a gift, gift may be given, thing which you call a gift may be also achieved by hard work and perseverance and of course love to music

[DannyDoomPink]

Downright astounding. So much vai-ishness in the intro! :D

[ActsAreMeantToFool]

Thank you for this; it's amazing and deserves much praise.

[parkourislife123]

can u please tell me the tunning so i can play around in it pleeeaaaasseeee

[hellashes]

@parkourislife123 I figured it out from the video. It's D#-G-A#-F-G-A#

[ajmjakforeva]

HOLY CRAP!

[musicalebox]

You are a master........................­....

[Cortgb34a]

oh man. This is just... Damn... You are the most talented person I have ever had the pleasure to hear in my entire life. Thank you for you spreading your wonderful gift

[GhostOfBrendan]

Hey Jon, how do you like the brass nut compared to traditional bone? Sounds nice with the open strings, and gives a smooth feeling when you're tuning up. Very neat!

[Pozzo84]

This is nearly the greatest performance I've ever seen on Youtube. Chapeau!

[OIFIG]

This always manages to cheer me up =]

[numnutsjay]

my girlfriend has just said "hes good" i said "take out an o and your half way there" :)

[BruinThe]

He's no musician, he's a wizard

[TheSonsofHorusx]

wow this guys wicked good at guitar lol

[amAzementFX]

Absolutely amazing, i've followed your work for a while, this remains to be my favourite, your style, voice and stage presence is simply amazing, and unique, Acoustic is and always will be the best,Good luck Jon!

[Hollyweird81]

fucking awesome, never heard something like this before

[mrjohnfernandez]

Lowden guitar... beautiful tone... have you changed the machine heads specifically for this kind of note bending action?

[Paulc771]

The best bit starts at 0:00 and ends at 6:24

[spyrde1]

Come to Finland!

[CaPsLoCkWuT]

Saw this under the "Recommended" tab of youtube. Words cannot express how impressed I am...I made it my new years resolution to learn finger style guitar, so I learned some Andy Mckee and Antoine Dufour stuff (rather advanced), but this... dear lord, this blew me away. To play things this complex with the use of harmonics and percussion, and SING as well as you do...You are my new favorite musician.

[gausepads1023]

i just don't get how you get your guitar to make those sounds!

[gausepads1023]

literally have no words for this. you make my inherent music sooooo much stronger. the beautiful music and rhythms have made have made me such a more attuned musician than i was before. this is so so so unbelievable that I can't image leaving it. good job :) I can't wait to hear more

[Ollysguitarr]

Jon's not even human.

[ztbsk8er]

JON GOMM NOMM NOM NOM NOM NOMM!!!!!!!!!

[Rockerboy3872]

I don't want to be one of those typical commenters, but the 123 dislikes makes me lose some faith in humanity....this is absolute beauty and talent at its finest, I can't even think of a reason to dislike this, what the hell people?

[mrjohnfernandez]

@Rockerboy3872 they must have been trying to play their keyboard like the "percussion hands" on the video... they just weren't up to it...

[khigashiano]

forever alone

[Amitbidermoon]

Do I hear steve vai at the begining? O:

[jongomm]

@Amitbidermoon Yeah man! The intro is Grade-A Vai-soaked material, and therefore must be handled with extreme caution. I think I am possibly the world's only Vai-influenced acoustic singer-songwriter. Unless James Blunt is hiding something very very well.

[JasperManning]

@jongomm My wife is also a Vai-influenced acoustic singer-songwriter, but she doesn't have anything on Youtube (yet) :)

[StevenAn2322]

@jongomm when did you first start experimenting with tuning the strings mid song in the fashion you do to create the sounds?

im trying to " borrow " your style a little and it's hard as hell.

[Amitbidermoon]

@jongomm haha well I really like it don't get me wrong :D and your style is not influenced too much from him, only the right amount ;) Keep on rocking that was great :)

[PadraicWalsh1234]

@jongomm THAT'S how you answer a question!

[BadwickHoneycutt]

@jongomm Mr. Gomm, you are a delight. I look forward to supporting your future endeavors.

[gutordin]

@Amitbidermoon And a Joe Satriani ending! Niice

[dendolgov]

Yeah Cool Men!

[AlexSlams]

TAB available you say? *quits job* *starts beating guitar like a ginger stepchild*

[ryanphillips1986]

Jon Gomm playing in LONDON! At Proud Camden, March 7th. Just google "jon gomm proud camden tickets" to find £5 tickets. See you there!

[Bowlingfor300s]

Have watched this several times. I get chills EVERY SINGLE TIME! Thank you for this wonderful piece of music.

[MrMintcookie]

I'm angered at how pristine you are Jon. But at the same time happy and amazed. Don't ever sell out! Just do what you want to do, because by the looks of it, change isn't ever going to be necessary. Flawless talent, my friend, flawless.

[WolfMeister69]

John is so pro! 

[BJ219]

God, the emotion.

[akerfeldtuk]

123 people on here are idiots.

[TheFrejaLouise]

Dont get too excited by the number of views Jon, 1,629,000 are simply me on repeat. Its wonderful x

[thecheeselvr]

chuck norris of guitar. right here. even tho chuck norris could play this with both hands tied behind his back. well done Jon. simply phenominal.

[SuperAbstractor]

All 123 dislikes, wish they could do that.

[bachy100]

..... loss for words. Beautiful is insufficient. Just wish I had the patience, drive, coordination and talent to be able to play like that. Or even remotely close to anywhere near as good as that. Just incredible.

[aromapf]

amayzing!!

[BattleRattle1775]

123 people are jealous because they thought they were good at guitar.

[dudebfg0123]

I guess the guitar's restraining order ran up.

[mrlibertine]

WOW! That is amazing

[NathanSooalo]

What would you say if i told you i learnt this?

[Marink96]

Pure genius. beautiful song.

[ogjbot]

Playing a Lowden is like a badge of honour, which this guy has earned.

[jayroc361]

123 people are deaf

[AndreasStilis]

perfect.............!

[TRONDTROND]

Are you coming to Norway anytime soon? Hm? Yeah? Awesome. See you there man, cheers.

[metalhead3671]

This guy makes Andy McKee look like shit

[lewisbrad]

Did anyone just hear the sound of Slash and Clapton hanging themselves?
