Jon Gomm - High and Dry

My cover of the Radiohead classic. I worked out this arrangement about 7 years ago. I played it on my first solo gig, and have been playing it ever since!

The song is on my album Hypertension, available at www.jongomm.com

The footage is from the TV show City Centre Social: big thanks to Shy Gerry, Dancing Dan, Rachel K and Interesting Phil. www.channelm.co.uk

Thanks also to the enigmatic Mr Dykes for trimming the clip

how is that justin bieber makes the headlines and this man does not?

I didnt realize how unfair this world was.

[ricohpentax]

are you human ?

[elliotnicklin]

@bartlettandbosc Wow. Aggressive. You'd have to be a fucking nonce to doubt the talent of either. And Adele's on an independent record label? Not quite the corporate bullshit yoiu were referring to but I see where you're coming from, some people need to deny talent when it's recognised cause so many of her peers are fuck tards. If you need to do that, go right ahead. Also, "Go back to crying into your pillow because Whitney has died."... whuh? Peace

[bartlettandbosc]

@elliotnicklin Not even half as talented mate. better song, amazing playing and more emotion than Adele could ever spurt fourth from her corporate songwriter f-artisits. You are just a foolish sheep if you even think about getting into a debate about how much more talent is in this man than f*****g Adele. Go back to crying into your pillow because Whitney has died.

@bartlettandbosc Cause everyone who isn't percussive and melodic on a guitar at the same time isn't talented? She has an infinitely better voice than him?..

[bartlettandbosc]

...And everybody say's Adele is "so talented"...

@guitarfreakdan the system wants to dumb down society, making them listen to hypnotic repetativity to controll their minds, ofc if the system showed you jon gomm, everybody would want to better themselfs, not only the fact that this music helps you activate different areas of the brain, but its relaxing and makes you happy, THEY DON'T WANT THAT. god bless jon gomm

@ear8dmg haha ^^ , includes that he support's indie labels

[JackWitcomb]

Love all of your other work. Think your a crazy good guitarist. but not so crazy about this, think the original does it enough justice.

[timmoral]

@guitarfreakdan Cos he don't suck on anyones ass. Artists like Jon are recognised for what they are - Amazingly talented. Can't say that about Beeber can you.

[MrsJazzhands]

Having seen Jon live I have to say you don't fully appreciate how talented he is from these clips! The songs he writes himself are just amazing.

[guitarfreakdan]

@meiname666 no, i agree. I'm just saying that people should be rewarded and PAID according to their own skills and talents, NOT what large music corporations are doing.
