Jon Gomm (born 1977 in Blackpool, England) is a British singer-songwriter and acoustic guitarist based in Yorkshire. He is internationally recognised for a percussive fingerstyle technique that combines slapping, tapping and mid-song retuning, making a single acoustic guitar sound like bass, drums and melody at once. His 2012 single "Passionflower" went viral with over 20 million views across platforms, and in 2020 he was voted Best Acoustic Guitarist in the World in MusicRadar's large-scale online poll.
Jon Gomm held his Acoustic Bootcamp 2025 and opened registration for the 2026 edition.
Jon Gomm released the single "Shchedryk (Carol Of The Bells)" as his latest release.
Jon Gomm released his first new song in three years: an instrumental version of Erasure's classic "A Little Respect" from 1988.
"Passionflower" was ranked number six on Total Guitar's list of the 50 greatest acoustic guitar pieces ever - behind The Beatles' "Blackbird" and Eric Clapton's "Tears In Heaven".
Ibanez launched two Jon Gomm signature models, JGM10 and JGM5 - he is only the third guitarist ever to design a signature acoustic guitar for Ibanez, after Joe Satriani and Steve Vai.
