Tailored for Modern Fingerstyle Playing by Virtuoso Jon Gomm In 2012, acoustic guitar virtuoso Jon Gomm exploded onto the world stage with a viral performance of “Passionflower,” a song showcasing his revolutionary and undeniably emotive style. As part of the modern acoustic fingerstyle movement pioneered by luminaries such as Leo Kottke and Michael Hedges, Jon incorporates percussive taps, slapped harmonics, and alternate tunings, among other advanced techniques.
