My new song Deep Sea Fishes is released today. Fingerstyle guitar and voice. It's a love
song for a hideous lonely creature, and is in no way autobiographical...
Holy shit. I don't think I'll ever be able to complain about not being able to sing while playing simple power chord riffs anymore :lol:
Curious about that guitar... Are there specific types/models that folks in the genre/style look for, considering the extra wear from also using it as a percussion/rhythmic device? I've got a few acoustic tracks that I've been wanting to record, and I think doing percussion on the guitar like that would be a cool element, but at my skill level, it will absolutely be overdubbed :lol:
So that's actually a new guitar. It's gonna be my Ibanez signature model, it'll be out soon. There kind of aren't particular guitars people use for this style. Most pro percussive guitarists are using handmade boutique instruments which are not easy to get. That's why Ibanez wanted to develop this guitar. So hopefully, this will be the new standard! That's our dream. It's designed for tapping, harmonics, altered tunings, percussive work, and it has the perfect pickup system built into it.

This is the acoustic banger track. It's called Dream Factories, it's about how music, our lives, our dreams - they're taken, remade and sold back to us.

Yeah man, acoustic hand slaptap version of Holy Wars ! Your already the boss in this style, you add acoustic Hand Drum/Tap Holy Wars you will be "of legend" Super Gomm.
Quite possibly. I knew Jon from a UK newsgroup long before Stephen Fry tweeted about him and I know a little of Jon's history with guitars with handles, scalloped frets and such...
I'm back for more spamming - another video from the album just came out: fingerstyle guitar instrumental groove-based-lullaby ‘Check You’re Still Breathing’ -
I hope someone over here likes it so I feel less guilty for spamming. P.S. No I don't float. I actually suck pretty hard at guitar, that's why I have to do all this weird sh*t. But it's a fun way to make music, it turns out.
There's tab for this one in the store on my online website. "Jon gomm dot com" is the address, I believe.
Another song from the album just had its video come out:
It's about living in a city, being intensely aware you're one of millions of strangers who'll never know each other, but are all affecting each other in unknowable ways.
Hope some of you dig it.
