New videos will be released in due course for the forthcoming album, but in the meantime, here is an oldie but goodie.

“Once you get over the jaw dropping manoeuvres and technique, you will be rewarded with some spectacularly beautiful songs.” – Blues & Soul magazine

“Gomm’s complex fingerstyle technique and acts of rhythmic physical violence on his guitar are no mere novelty; these are exquisite arrangements, and somehow no element ever upstages another. Perhaps the best percussive guitar album we’ve ever heard.” – Total Guitar (2014 Top 10 Albums Of The Year)

“One of the world’s most successful, gifted and inspirational guitar players” – Acoustic Magazine

“We have seen the future of acoustic guitar playing, and it is called Jon Gomm” – Blues Matters

“Masterpieces inflected with tribal rhythms, pop melodic sense and Gomms flowing, draped over vocals that would surely make even Eric Clapton blush.” – National Post (Canada)

“Wonderful to watch. Genius.” – Stephen Fry

“I love your work and style so much. You are very special” – Jon Anderson (Yes)

“Wonderful playing and singing” – David Crosby (Crosby, Stills and Nash)

“Hands down the most amazing guitarist I have ever seen!” – Tommy Lee (Motley Crue)

“There are very few musicians on the planet who can actually strike me speechless with the beauty and skill of their playing. Jon Gomm is one of those musicians.” – Randy Blythe, Lamb Of God

“Making music can be a battle between trying to be a technical guitarist and trying to convey emotion. Unless you’re Jon Gomm. Then you can write the most complicated passages and have a heart-breaking melody as well.” – Andy McKee
