COME ON GUITARISTS! You can do it! I predict nobody's gonna nail it (I sure haven't), but SOMEBODY is gonna fumble their way through it in a beautiful way. I'll probably cry.
Jon Gomm it sounds beautifully technical, much like attempted flight. This hits me right in my soul!! I was admittedly not very excited about the last few songs you released, but this changes everything! I'm totally amazed!!! Thank you so much for all the time and work you put in, tell Wilma I say hi. 😊 Much love and respect.
Here's my version after around 6/7 hours of practice(spanning 2 days). I posted it on your site and I figured I'd post it here aswell! The solo was by far the hardest because of my long fingernails. Hope you enoy it! Cheers from Poland Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/u4y1eUHARUU/видео.html
Jon Gomm thank you. Just got being an amazing guitarist and also reaching out to your fans and showing your just l8ke the rest of us. I'm touched by this opportunity, not because I think I'm going to climb to the top over night and win this contest, but just because you have it to us. I will surely give this a go, merely because the information I will gain by trying is worth a lifetime. However, if some major power did allow me to ingest such a monster of a song, I would greatly value your pickup system more than I can imagine. Much love from Oregon, USA!!!
The great Jon Gomm!!!! I remember the time when you go to my hometown (Feira de Santana-BA) and I saw you playing in front of me! What a day, man! What a day! Is still worth the invitation I made you to have lunch at my parents house there in Bahia. God continue bless you!!!
Dude, you're incredibly talented. I know life is hard but whenever you're feeling down, just realize that what you do is so inspirational and uplifting to other people.
Oh my god, I have been waiting for that video since I first heard Zombie Shuffle! I think I will try to learn it, but for that incredible solo in the middle I would definitely need to cut off my long claws, so it would be a hell of a challenge!
*tries to get my nylon guitar to do it* *sees Alexandr Misko going for the challenge* *put guitar away* - I didn't wanted to win anyway...... hahahahaha I hope i play this tune someday, even if it is later from the competition, it's really wonderful. It would be epic some duet from you with Jon! Just saying a dream out loud, even if i can't go to the show.......hahahaha Cheers from Brazil! ;)
This is amazing. All I need to say. Your skills are amazing, your compositions are amazing, your voice is amazing, your guitar itself is amazing, what's not to love?
Thank u Douglas Adams for a better title than Zombie Shuffle... Thank u youtube for making this my top recommended song... Thank u God for dumping 1,376.8 sploots of guitar talent on Mr. Gomm... And thank you JG for sharing another work of art... wow... beautiful composition... (And I wasn’t even tired of listening to Passionflower!) Happy Thanksgiving Jib!
You’ve really helped me become a lot better at feeling the music Jon. I used to overcomplicate by merely using the strings but now I’m using pinch/slap/tap harmonics and the body as a rhythm machine, the necessary breaks for a busy mind.. not even learning bass has shown me the beauty of silence the way you have.. I love you, thank you ☺️
What sets John Gomm apart from the rest of the other artists is basically the capability of expressing his feelings in such a deep way! I'd like to say it comes to down to his acoustic guitar technique only, but he's able use that to reach an assortment of deep feelings. I'm not even able to explain and sound legit, he's just unbelievable though. He is nature expressing itself and that's mind-blowing!!!
DobrieNIN I think i didn't get across properly, there are a plenty of other artists really amazing out there, one of them is John Frusciante (former RHCP's guitarist) he's a very talented and sensitive guy. What i wanted to say was just that his talent and mind are beyond the average artists. There are an assortment of great artists out there, though. Thanks for pointing this out, man!
@@quenteqmampff8204 Yes, isn't it amazing the difference you see in attitude in the comment sections in videos like this and SOME videos on YT? When I go really good science sites, except for the occasional troll, the same is true, intelligent people discussing interesting subjects without rancor. Gotta admit though (probably shouldn't), I do sometimes go to the "flat Earth" or "Moon Hoax" type videos just to troll the crap out of idiots, there is some humor in that, even if I know I probably shouldn't be doing it. I start out nice, trying to honestly educate, but when they almost invariably get nasty, the gloves come off. ;-)
Man, if you only listen to the audio, you think there are 3 guitar players and 1 percussionist, and then you watch this. I think he creates acoustic songs only for himself to perform. Shit, dude, I don't have four arms! That's beautiful!!!!!
If you watch carefully there are times when percussion is going on while his hands are NOT doing that percussion (such as 2:52). This shows that he's recorded multiple tracks and only filmed one of them, and is not being very honest about it. 2023 edit: I no longer endorse this comment.
@@bennemann I've bought tabs and studied it for some months, it's not impossible and it's not edited at all, some times he even makes percussive sounds hiting the back of the neck
Wow!! I love your technique so much, using the drums just to add to the melody rather than showing off with it.. That's why you are one of my favorite guitarists :). Also, so complicated ahaha
The name of the song fits the challenge to cover this song so well! I absolutely love the technique, mixed with the heart that is put into Jon Gomm's music. If I could ever see him play his music live, I'm pretty sure that would secure the happiness in my life.
I would love to see jon gomm and tommy emmanuel together once, or cover each other's songs. Both of them expanded the range and expression of the instrument in amazing ways. Or at least hear what they think of each other. They are definitely guitar gods that need to have a show together
Ok Jon, challenge accepted! I have been working on this for a couple of hours and can do some of the parts but I admit I am not yet able to play them together with left and right hand coordination. I don’t do a lot of copying other people’s songs but this one is a masterclass in skill building, just picking out the pieces and putting it all together. I don’t expect to be in the first batch to post it, but will put it together eventually. It is such a sweet song and truly catchy melody that it is easy to miss how complicated the guitar work is. Thank you so much for putting it out in audio and video.
At about 5:00 minutes Jon starts a 2 part swimming ethereal hurdling through space massive Salmon jumping impossible falls with ease reaching the Spawning Pool ditty. I like it, Very much. Greetings from Colorado Springs Colorado Christopher.
Aw...the amount of work you've put into this tune is tremendous...you are even better than when I saw you in Scotland. You're inspiring, thanks for playing.
Goodness knows why it has taken me so long to find this glorious piece. Very many congratulations and please come and see us again soon on the Isle of Man. Outstanding !
Give me about 10 years and I might be able to get halfway through this (poorly). Incredible work, Jon. Thank you for the art that you have created and bestowed upon the world (and, selfishly, me).
Jon with prize or not. Thanks for the tab. Reading your tab is like reading your book. Put more info in there please. Learning your song is fun, progressive, challenging and satisfying. Been a fan for 3 years now. Will upload as soon as i perfect it!
This song is incredible. I just bought the sheet music from your site. I don’t plan on getting this down in time for your contest but I’ve always wanted to get into this type of guitar music and I thought I might as well go in head first. Thanks so much for making your tabs available to everyone, being able to learn this music is a blast
Excellent work as always. Awesome of you to have this giveaway as well! I can mangle my way through some Gomm but never with percussion. I reckon it needs practiced until it becomes second nature. You're the man!
This guy is fucking sick. 32 downvotes by people who don't know a damn thing about playing the guitar. It takes a lifetime to be able to play like this. I know I can't and I've been playing for over 20 years.
It's always a great day when you release a new video! Great job with the tune man, your incredible. I will take your challenge but I might not be first to complete it because I'm currently working on composeing 2 1/2 other songs at the moment. I haven't learned a song in awhile, I've just been coposeing a lot the last couple of years. You are by far the biggest influence in my music so it would be an honor to learn one of your songs. Hopefully I can show you one of my oringinal songs you inspired one day. Music wasn't the same untill you came along man, your a real pioneer!
Jon the man Gomm, it would be awesome if someday you publish a video course on teaching your song creating and writting process, i would definitely buy it, sorry if bad english... or maybe i wrote it all right i dont know.
Jon I just subscribed because you are a very blessed and Amazing person. love your music, so creative and moving. so original. I myself am an artist but with clay, photos and video and paint. trying to do the music thing and you are an inspiration. Evan thoe I'm almost 50 I am determined to learn to play the guitar. my dad and sister and my uncles and cousins all can play anything by ear, I didn't get that cromazome. lol. great work man. God bless
That is absolutely insane thank you for that. After seeing oyu live at Guitar Summit i've been digging your content please do keep it up! Hoping to see you on your germany tour.
I'd love to try and learn the song to win the pickup system but I half expect there's gonna be some complete mad man out there who uploads a near perfect cover within the next 24 hours haha. I love the fact that you're doing a contest though.
Really beautiful piece, congratulations for this composition Jon and like always awesome percussive technics 😊 It's give us the envy to covered it 😉 Tripman Project

Unappreciated great comment
Epic comment
COME ON GUITARISTS! You can do it! I predict nobody's gonna nail it (I sure haven't), but SOMEBODY is gonna fumble their way through it in a beautiful way. I'll probably cry.
Jon Gomm I think you deffinately nailed it. Unless if there's a skill level above ninja that your not telling us about.

Marcin Patrzalek Awesome!
Completely blown away by this, the solo at 2:50 is mesmerising to watch and looks like an absolute killer to attempt to play
A sneaky but creative way of promoting the sales of your tablature

Alexandr, I was thinking of you a lot when uploading this video. I know you love this tune, and if anyone in the world can play this, it's you.
its unfair if you win :D i need them too :p
Александр а ты не пробовал сделать кавер на глупый блюз?))) в ютубе не хватает каверов на Гомма ,я не знаю кто лучше тебя справится с этим))
Alexandr, you playing this will be really great ! :D Please !
*tries to get my nylon guitar to do it*
*sees Alexandr Misko going for the challenge*
*put guitar away*
- I didn't wanted to win anyway...... hahahahaha
I hope i play this tune someday, even if it is later from the competition, it's really wonderful.
It would be epic some duet from you with Jon!
Just saying a dream out loud, even if i can't go to the show.......hahahaha
Cheers from Brazil! ;)
My brain is so very pleased, as it struggles to replay this all through my day.
Thank you, endlessly!!
My first time listening, and I gotta say that I'm truly amazed. I always enjoy seeing innovative guitarists develop new definitions of music.
This is amazing. All I need to say. Your skills are amazing, your compositions are amazing, your voice is amazing, your guitar itself is amazing, what's not to love?

@@bennemann I've bought tabs and studied it for some months, it's not impossible and it's not edited at all, some times he even makes percussive sounds hiting the back of the neck
My goal in life is to introduce enough people in the US to your music to make you touring here feasible and worthwhile. You're my hero man.
Watched that solo part on repeat a couple of times.. you are something else, Jon. Still remember your show in Beijing so vividly.
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy : )
Wow!! I love your technique so much, using the drums just to add to the melody rather than showing off with it.. That's why you are one of my favorite guitarists :). Also, so complicated ahaha
Masterful piece, Jon! It's deserving of an oddly long, inventive homage of a title, too!
Jon, your combination of sheer talent and passion never ceases to amaze me. I'm always blown away by your music.
Mad props for the Douglas Adams reference! I recognized the title even before I read the caption :) Good luck to all guitarists!
Never stop being who you are, Jon.
The name of the song fits the challenge to cover this song so well! I absolutely love the technique, mixed with the heart that is put into Jon Gomm's music. If I could ever see him play his music live, I'm pretty sure that would secure the happiness in my life.
Jon Gomm, You tickled my ears from beginning to end. That is one hell of a tune.
oh Jon, thank you for your talent
Awesome Song and Awesome Book Reference. Douglas Adams would have loved this. And so would Zaphod I think lol. Wish you the best in everything always.
I would love to see jon gomm and tommy emmanuel together once, or cover each other's songs. Both of them expanded the range and expression of the instrument in amazing ways. Or at least hear what they think of each other. They are definitely guitar gods that need to have a show together
They've played together, haven't they? At least at the same event.
Such a masterful musician - equally a composer, guitarist, and percussionist. You are amazing Jon!
Ok Jon, challenge accepted!

lock me in a room for 100 years and i still wouldnt be able to do half of this. incredible!

I like it, Very much.
Greetings from Colorado Springs Colorado Christopher.
This is my favorite instrumental of all time. Spectacular composition and performance!! Thanks for creating it and sharing it with us.
i can't believe it every sound was created only by one accoustic guitar...so amazing
You must've heard this before, but you're a musical genius. You inspired me very much to upload my own stuff. Thank you.
Aw...the amount of work you've put into this tune is tremendous...you are even better than when I saw you in Scotland. You're inspiring, thanks for playing.
Goodness knows why it has taken me so long to find this glorious piece. Very many congratulations and please come and see us again soon on the Isle of Man. Outstanding !
You forgot to tell him he should come during TT! ;-)
No words, it's just an absolutely incredible. You're one of the best musicians I'd ever heard, not just guitarists
Loved the name, clearly a direct reference to Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Yet another level of guitarplaying. You really are talented.
I'll probably be dead before learning how to play it. You rock mate , huge talent.
The skill involved here, is just mind blowing 😮
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Always the best from Jon. Every composition makes me feel the feels for reals. Thanks for sharing your creations with us.
Give me about 10 years and I might be able to get halfway through this (poorly). Incredible work, Jon. Thank you for the art that you have created and bestowed upon the world (and, selfishly, me).
Absolutely amazing. Jon - you deserve EVERY plaudit and more!!!! Much love
Amazing inspiration to me as you have been for years so happy musicians like you are out there and I really hope to meet you one day
Jons music is just so incredible beautiful.
It's hard to wait time for this fantastic videos, thanks
P.s. come to Italy
Jon with prize or not. Thanks for the tab. Reading your tab is like reading your book. Put more info in there please. Learning your song is fun, progressive, challenging and satisfying. Been a fan for 3 years now. Will upload as soon as i perfect it!
love you Jon, I hope you and your family is safe! Thank you for posting this, its truly beautiful and inspiring.
Don't worry corona is a hoax. i hope he is safe from the upcoming vaccine that'll be the disease causer.
Stunning....superlatives are inadequate! One Love

Another beautiful piece.
You are a genius Jon Gomm.

Absolute master performance and just such felt and complex musicality. Jon I adore this song.
Wow man. Thank you once again for showing us your musical beauty.
Wow you amaze me every time Jon in your creativity and every time you nail it, loved it
sooooo relaxing. Love the percussion on this one. reminds me of...something. beautiful.

Incredible song.
Description of the music fits the way it sounds. Cool song, Jon.
I'm not a guitarist but as a Bassist it's really cool doubling the Harmony part for a duet on this song pretty cool song Jon Gomm.
Wow! That is one well-loved gutiar. Oh, and the style of playing ...like no other!
Love this song! Just beautiful!
So awesome Jon. Your an inspiration in your uniqueness 😁👍
You never fail to amazed me!!! You're the best!!!
Great job John,
Thanks for the music, Jon ! :)

Faszinierend, ich mache mich auf den Weg!!
Wow this was insane. Nicely done Jon
Bravo Sir! Thank you
You can tell when a song is insanely difficult by if Jon is willing to attempt to sing over it or not loll
Esse cara é um Extraterrestre kkkkkkkk
Jonn, você é um excelente artista!
Parabéns por mais essa obra espetacular. DEUS ABENÇOE SEU TRABALHO.
Realmente, o cara é mágico.
I'd love to try and learn the song to win the pickup system but I half expect there's gonna be some complete mad man out there who uploads a near perfect cover within the next 24 hours haha. I love the fact that you're doing a contest though.
Stunning
How have i only just come across this
Really beautiful piece, congratulations for this composition Jon and like always awesome percussive technics 😊
It's give us the envy to covered it 😉
