While I agree with much of the sentiment here I have listened to that Jon Gomm song many times without watching him play it and it is still a captivating song IMO. A lot more going on there than the obvious gymnastics.

100% yes. It's a complete song... it just happens to be played on one instrument.

I agree. The Jon Gomnn song posted to this thread stands on it's own as a instrumental composition. Not only is it an original song, the techniques that he's using that are entertaining to watch are also making the composition very interesting just to listen to... I doesn't sound like anything I've heard before.

It does fascinate me how tapping seems to bring out a certain level of vitriol. Most things people don't like they just ignore and move on, but the tapping thing seems to strike a nerve for some reason. Can't quite figure it out.

Nothing wrong with that if one keeps it subjective. I think it's pretty cool and I'm older than dirt.

There is no vitriol in this thread. Why direct such an inflammatory word toward other posters (that you don't agree with) in an otherwise respectful, thoughtful thread?

If we cant give our opinion then what is the point of this forum?

I mean this for both sides of the issue but particularly to those folks that want us to say nothing but nice things. If its an individual I hold my tongue but if its a guitar or style or performance then its ok to have an opinion you express.

It is too strong a word. I guess criticism would have been more accurate. I don’t even disagree much.

I appreciate your response, Dirk. It shows a lot of class.

While I am not a fan of the song I can 100% appreciate the incredible technical ability this kid has. There are several Tommy E arrangements in my arsenal but what this kid just did is above my station and I have no problem admitting that.

Not at all, your critique was on point and direct. I appreciate your perspective–I didn't mean for my post to come off the way it did. Sometimes I don't take care to choose the right words.
