  • Random question: What does the tattoo on your arm symbolise? If it DOES symbolise anything at all.

  • @Fantazilon My tattoo is Michael Hedges' "Oracle" symbol. Google it! :)

  • my personal favorite J. gomm song- fantastic

  • Good work el Berko. We have to fix up a gig for this year.

  • hi (i hope this is the reall jon gomm) i saw you a few weeks back when you came to my college at crosskeys, i was wondering ... if it isn't too rude ... how do you hit those harmonics so tightly? i assume they are fretted 12 frets higher than the root in order to get a natural harmonic .. but how do you hit them so smoothly

  • Hi Tobi: The harmonics in the intro are "classical harmonics" - this means you touch the 'node' and pluck the string. So if the left hand is playing the 3rd fret, I touch the string very gently over the 15th fret with my index finger and pluck the string with my thumb. You can even mix in regular notes with your other right hand fingers. In the second half of the intro I touch the node with my index and pluck it with my ring finger, so my thumb is free to play a bassline.

    Hope that helps!

  • The intro is beautiful, but the tuning and retuning mid-song is mind blowing. *********
