In case that didn't impress you (and if it didn't, you're not watching very closely), the link I meant to use was THIS ONE, and if that first link did impress you (which it should have anyway), then prepare to have your tits blown clean off.
If there's a modern guitarist I would believe sold his soul to the devil in return for musical ability, it would have to be Jon Gomm. Watch his hands, and try to imagine your fingers accurately making those shapes at that speed. Or accurately making any shapes at that speed.
Previously having seen Jo Quail play support slots several times it was a real treat to witness a full hour of her extraordinary compositions, for cello and loop pedals, and virtuoso playing at OSLO Hackney on Friday.
Also very much enjoyed guitar genius Jon Gomm's set and their collaboration pieces at the end.

Feeling sick today. Bad flare up. Time for music to help me feel sad about everything.
This afternoon's #soundtrack is The Faintest Idea by #JonGomm. Melodic #fingerpicking #guitar with percussion included for added profundity, haunting voicing, and an underlying sense of dread.
Yeah, this is a perfect soundtrack for today.
A recent song I learned about is this more than a decade-old piece by Jon Gomm titled "Passionflower". I think this is the best ever guitar performance I have ever seen. The percussion, the dynamic tuning, and the tapped harmonics are already insanely impressive. But to be singing on top of it? Unbelievable!

So tomorrow evening I'm off to see Jon Gomm at The Stables in Milton Keynes
Stoked and can't wait. Haven't been at one of his gigs since October 2021.
And not just music. Jon brings you into his world and his gigs are so intimate, inspiring and thought provoking - but overall are joyous and life affirming.
