Nice to hear someone play one of John's early acoustic songs unironically, very faithful cover of No Such Thing. I think people are finally accepting that those early songs are classic and still stand up.

[@kendallcovell9386]

Brandon's knowledge of guitar history just blows my mind. Thank you Mike for properly displaying the capabilities of this guitar. Thanks Jen for the awesome video production! GOTD has come a long way since it first came out. Good job guys, keep up the hard work. Also I'm glad to see Norm is kicking strong again!

[@gpulse12]

The Brandon “appear” behind Michael is amazing. Jen your laugh is contagious. I look forward to watching you all every day.

[@AMinorCaseOfBlues]

Love that the spec check is becoming the norm at Norm's. Favorite Zeppelin tune as well, on a great guitar. Thanks folks!

[@Datimdavis2900]

Outstanding walk through by Brandon. Stunning sounds laid down by Michael. And fortunately, Jen was there to capture it all. Thanks! Best to Norm!

[@stephenreese9841]

I love these types of “educational videos”…. with classic and modern acoustic examples… excellent job you guys

[@freddaniel5099]

Starting with Zeppelin is always nice!

[@benallmark9671]

Always

[@mtacoustic1]

The Eric Clapton 000-28 is a super all-around guitar. More compact than a dreadnought but still has a big sound with great play-ability. Unfortunately, mine does not have Brazilian rosewood. As for replacement nuts; the biggest mistake I made with my Mossman was replacing the original nut, which turned out to be ivory.

[@jesselee741]

Hearing Michael play No Such Thing in the beginning is such a pleasure! What a phenomenal musician!

[@deblane401]

Flat top Friday is my favorite day. I graduated from high school in 68 and always wanted a 000 Martin. I have to give props to Jen for her camera work, she always has great angles, and her zoom work is just right. George in Montana

[@JEUXolim]

Great to gear Room For Squares again

[@scotth4041]

Fantastic job once again! Thank you for your commitment to doing these videos and showing us these great vintage guitars!

[@VonBluesman]

Super fine guitar. Michael you are so talented and play great songs. Brandon I enjoyed your performance at the gig. Jen you are the best videographer of guitar performances. Thank you so much for the shirt, it really means a lot. I feel like we are all one big family. I love this website y’all have created. ✌️

[@bobmonroe5765]

I sat on my bed, closed my eyes, and turned up guitar of the days “Flat top Friday”. Michael playing Led Zeppelin took me back to better days! I really love Mr. Lemmo’s artistry! You paint me pictures with your strings!

[@francissalazar6436]

Jens right, that was great! 🎸😎🎸😎 Mr lemmo you rock that house down! Much love to Normans rare guitars from Colorado 🎸

[@catfishmudflap]

I was hoping for a spec check, and was not disappointed. Really great guitar playing, and, as always, great videography. Thank you.

[@markmartin3221]

Wow liked the Brandon breakdown, I mean super nerd! I say that with my nerd cape at the ready. Killer really nice GOTD nice playing Mike, Jen is such a positive force, all joy club :)

[@richardrich8010]

I have a 19 000-28 EC it looks and sounds like a work of art for me it was very expensive I can’t imagine how much this one is thanks for all you guys do Great gotd

[@gonetroutfishing]

Gooood evening from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great night!

[@petecolyvas530]

Beautiful guitar! Love your videos! Michael, I like the all the different riffs you come up with! Brandon, thanks for all your knowledge and Jen for great video!

[@pierheadjump]

⚓️ Thanks Jen Brandon Mike 😎

[@slbolfing56]

Sweet sounding 000 - I was surprised at how much bass it has!!!

[@QE2KC3AngelWindOGodRose4ACJedi]

Fantastic Martin all the endangered wood and tone you could ever want, Brazilian always sounds softer and warmer to me. Led zep was made for that guitar, and Michael is unfailingly accurate and a good example to all learning the instrument. Brandon completes the show with his encyclopedic knowledge, and now you have jack etc on board. Gotd is stronger than ever. The Cat...(KZbin Channel - nobody is too bothered anyway...)

[@leelossi1257]

I think Jen went to sleep!! Nice playing Michael.....beautiful guitar

[@stephenhill5227]

Brandonipedia. Mike doing Mayer. Very cool

[@ToddTheJoker]

Wow, all I could think about was how much Angela P. would love that guitar! Nice spec check Brandon, great playing Michael and perfect filming Jen! It's #FlatTopFriday what! what!

[@davidlacroix6769]

Love that Led Z.

[@yazidbakar1485]

Great sound and beutiful guitar..

[@DrGregC]

The perfect episode for a truly great guitar. Both Brandon & Michael have never been better. Kudos.

[@JL-fs9wh]

F'ing awsome playing!!

[@S-T-E-V-E]

My God the tone! I want it so bad!

[@michaelvaladez6570]

A very nice guitar it's tone and projection is clear and bright sounding. And both songs are great.The first song nice arrangement and of course can not go wrong with Led Zepplin...when played properly. Kudos to you Mike.

[@MultiMrPhill]

Great Guitar-Playing & Great Guitar. Nice music.

[@larryburrough3024]

Great sounds created by a great guitar player. Miss Jen always get on tape in a professional way. Great GOTD!

[@Bluegeek1]

I like having Brandon do the tech lesson of the day. I always wondered when Martin stopped building with Brazilian Rosewood

[@editorjuno]

Import restrictions -- Brazil was pretty much running out of rosewood trees to cut down for lumber.

[@mp-kq3vc]

Holy cow Brandon knows his stuff!

[@DeltaJazzUK]

One of the best fingerstyle guitars ever made and he strums it like some old beater.

[@editorjuno]

Just like John Paul White on his much older Martin. No reason to hold back -- no guitar ever sustained damage because of hard strumming by an expert player! kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6u3nnyomtKrppY

[@larryiaquinta5003]

Hey everyone great intro on that Martin OOO-28 beautiful piece and Michael playing the Led Zepplin made it even more great.

[@cwilczak8706]

Michael, that was REALLY NICE! REALLY. NICE.😁

[@samhill3496]

Excellent picking great guitar. Another fun flat top Friday. You all take care. Hi Norm.

[@allisonholmesmusic97]

Oh wow that’s a sweet guitar from my birth year. At 54 I also need a neck reset, so that’s not scary at all. I need to win the lottery. I know the temperatures are going to be brutal this weekend, stay cool my friends

[@ronlight7013]

LOL

[@roderickbalt8993]

He sounded more than John Mayer than the man himself, and that on the shorter scale 000!

[@santerisainio7582]

I like how you actually played it hard enough

[@ArgentAbendAzure]

Brilliant. Thanks.

[@joelark2007]

Red spruce i believe on the older twenty eights they grow from ny to Maine

[@rickstorm1044]

Michael getting his Mayer and Zeppelin grove going on...Nice!!

[@1999zrx1100]

Great playing Mike, 🙏👍

[@JAROJAN63]

To be honest, I'm not 100% sure what is more impressive - Michael's playing or Brian's specs work playing. ;)

[@starringchristopher]

nicely done zep tune!! thank you

[@aminahmed2220]

Michael and jen records fantastic videos

[@mrassilyer]

I want it….NOW! 🤗

[@tacmason]

Mike I Love that version you did of "Babe-I'm gonna leave you !

[@johnault2649]

Nice!

[@Jamzocd]

👏👏👏 Beautiful playing Michael on a beautiful guitar!

[@MrFantxo]

I never see a norm’s green tshirt as it is Michael favorite color. Does it exist? Or a yellow one for jen?

[@gabrielsipos]

I was surprised to hear John Mayer but it’s always nice

[@indridcold1712]

No Way! I just bought a Martin and the first song I learned was "Babe Im Gonna Leave You". Stay out of my search history Lemmo.

[@jerrygeist1677]

Man oh man just magical ✨️ the guitar an the player 👌 wow

[@billw8648]

Nice playin there!

[@suavejay3716]

Awesome Lemmo🎶

[@butchlauer]

Supa coo stic guitar fa sure!

[@eddieayala9004]

JOHN MAYER

[@leakiin]

Great stuff! What were the songs Lemmo played?

[@TexasIke1836]

No Such Thing - John Mayer Babe I’m Gonna Leave You - Led Zeppelin

[@leakiin]

@@TexasIke1836 thank you!

[@AchillesWrath1]

He snuck a little Van Halen in at the end - Little Guitars. It blended in perfectly with Babe i'm gonna leave you.

[@michaelschiessl8357]

Sounding great like usual Lemmo!!

[@simoncaddick9085]

😎♥

[@marksheefel3796]

“Babe “ = bitch-in!!!!!!!!! Very nice!!!!

[@CNFir-fs6zs]

How much? Looked up Norm site and it's not listed?!

[@dzucur]

It's an 000M-28 Proceeds to play "No such thing” by John Mayer

[@Lurra.]

I was wondering why the first song sounded familiar! Thanks😅✌️

[@maltesetony9030]

I have a '56 000-18 & wouldn't part with it!

[@jeremyb251]

Why is there value in an original broken nut or bridge piece?

[@irineunemeu7806]

Whats song is in begin?

[@ambrosemackinnon8314]

Can anyone tell me about Winston guitars are they any good quality.if you heard of them. they re acoustic.

[@iryan9]

What song was he playing during the intro?

[@louiss3409]

Wow looking to hire?

[@rareform6747]

Wimps .. Texas here and sure will get a free T- shirt from all the fake replies ?

[@aum3.146]

If you play softer touch it would spread out and breathe more. Excellent guitar nonetheless.

[@SamFugarino]

I'm out of dumbass comments. Great demo man.

[@Mistershredd]

Adirondack IS spruce. It's a region. Like Sitka, Alaska. Sitka spruce and Adirondack spruce are both...well, spruce.

[@kellyjohnson7170]

Lemmo you did it again 👏 so sweet 😋

[@oldskoolbarbie6087]

Zeppelin…awesome,awesome,awesome….

[@peterengland2892]

Nice chord work Michael . Do more of these instead of distorted electric demos👍

[@fabriccouch]

Just let the great man do what he wants!

[@rbinkoriffic9999]

Can you tell us what your asking for the guitar ?

[@andrewandthecatfives]

It’s listed for $7850

[@arlancondez6557]

I forgot the title for that fingerpicking song. I think it's a led zeppelin song

[@luisamaya3931]

I just learnt babe I’m gonna leave you

[@musicfan8253]

Any chance that guitar could be gifted to me? I probably can’t play that John Mayer or Led Zeppelin, (yet), but, with that guitar, I’d do my best to learn. 🤷🏻‍♀️. Flat top Friday always rules!

[@wildbilljr3369]

be so sweet to hear someone there play some mazzy star. but i know you don't read any of the commits.

[@slicksalmon6948]

In 1968 we thought 60s-era Martins were crap.

[@highwayghost900]

Is the first song an incubus track? It's gotta be

[@susangallagherespanol4535]

It’s ‘No such thing’ by John Mayer

[@roberteberhart1139]

Wtf is rosewood anyway? This and more need to be answered! Our lives depend on it.

[@geminidreamno2]

What? No fingerpicking? This guitar was meant for fingerpicking and Michael strummed the whole demo.

[@DrustIV]

I was hoping for some fingerpicking too.

[@el34glo59]

Honestly, flat picking sounds Amazing on 000s

[@joenoneofyourbusiness6487]

Just sounds kinda boxy to me. Not impressed. But oh that vintage "vibe"!

[@gcalisesi]

Good sound, bad player!
