Jon Gomm – Dance Of The Last Rhino
10% of all proceeds go to Save The Rhino http://www.savetherhino.org/
Dedicated to the irresistible groove of Thomas Leeb.
I originally wrote this tune specially for playing in South Africa. South Africans are the human race’s custodians of some of the most magnificent, yet vulnerable treasures of the natural world. They didn’t ask for this responsibility, but they bear it with strength and patience. It’s almost unbelievable that in 2014 the Rhino is in danger of be hunted to extinction, so people around the world can buy rhino horn to “cure” their baldness or impotence.
Just because a wizened old sage is prescribing grated rhino horn (at $5000 a gram) that doesn’t mean it works. In fact, it’s made of keratin, and so you could get exactly the same medical benefits for free, just by eating your own hair.
But ‘Dance Of The Last Rhino’ isn’t a sad, mournful piece. It’s a wardance. The rhino is a noble, warrior-like animal, and they won’t go out without a fight. It starts with the Rhino scraping it’s massive hooves in the dirt, preparing to charge.

기타 쥰내 멋있네
This is a peppy arrangement and I cannot stop listening. I certainly want to adapt the more bluesy fun in my classical playing. I love this.
You make a lot of amazing stuff but this song has a groove that will always be my favorite.
He Is from another galaxy
기타치면서 웃고있는게 너무 보기좋다
1:13 – 1:17 I found this very similar to the tune of your song 'Everything' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmWQXknDE88&ab_channel=JonGomm)

This is way too impossibly cool, to be popular. Thank you, Jon! You’re too much next level, then we can accept!
Maybe the last White Rhino..is Mitch McConnell…ha!…great sound from this guitar..thanks!

How could anyone possibly dislike this? Back to your caves, trolls, back, back!
Sweet!
incrivel som
off the charts, i am blown away so much talent!
Everything you are doing from your music style to philanthropy is Righteous!
Really, some fantastic work here. I come back every so often to hear this genius again.
guitar players that wanted to play drums ,will play like this mostly
Many of the "likes" where clicked by the rhinos. They obviously have very good taste in jams.
My guitar: looks jealous "Why do you never touch me like he does?"
Mind blowing ?????
???!!!!!!
This is genuinely one of the most skillful and catchy songs I've ever heard on the guitar
.
The last male white rhino passed away today
I've watched it 100 times, never gets old!
I have an LR Baggs microphone inside of my guitar and an acoustic preamp and I still can't get this kind of clear, crisp sound. . .
Jon Gomm bought the whole guitar, and Jon Gomm plays the whole guitar.
unfuggingbelieveable … love it
Fun vibe, Maestro. ?✊
Haters only have hate.
Thousands and thousands of working hours !!!!

Nice tones, colors tapping, alternative tunings,but if feel sorry for the guitar..the finish is gone it happens, it's a Lowden…omg.I would never treat a..my guitar in that manner.A very talented musician. Kudos for your uniqueness.
The intro riff reminds me of Sultans of swing hehe. Such great playing, mate.
He is a rhino. He is the last one left. He is in the mud, he is stained with clay, but he lives, he enjoys life, he dances and spits on poachers. Dance of the last rhino…
