I've watched this 3x and I still can't get over Lemmos playing!!!!?

[@robbybobby9086]

That flame is insane!

[@lamontprospect9974]

I don't want to make excuses for myself but I am envious of players who are big, tall and have big strong fingers. I'm 65 and I only started playing two and a half years ago. It's impossible to compete with people who started at 10 or 15 years old. Some guys are so big and strong they make the guitar look like a toy. My hands are not that big and strong but then again, I think of Prince. He was excellent and was not large in stature. No whining. I'm grateful to be playing.

[@Nightshade1881]

Love how the couch is even so happy to see lemmo play 🙂

[@NickJardine]

Hahah, I see it now and can’t unsee it.

[@estenray5385]

Yeah that back cushion has one wicked grin going on!

[@jgleeson11]

That tone is to die for! Unreal!

[@lamontprospect9974]

Fantastic demonstration. About a year-and-a-half ago I bought a 59 Les Paul reissue Heavy Aged Murphy lemon green fade. Those guitars are made to feel, look and sound exactly like the original. Hats off to the staff at Norm's and all the wonderful work they do for homeless people. God love and God bless you. 🙏🕊️❤️ What's so cool about this one is it's a sunburst

[@MattyK-USA]

I am privileged to be the caretaker of a Murphy Labs Tom-painted R8 in VOS. It is staggeringly good.

[@kevinleighton7255]

Wow, that LP sounds amazing ❤ Lemmo really makes it sing! Hallelujah! Thanks Lemmo and Jen ❤

[@frankenstein4106]

That is a great demo of a guitar! Hats off to Lemmo!!

[@glenh2752]

What an incredible player this guy is. Great work Lemmo!

[@user-gy2it7es9j]

i love it

[@stevieray7149]

the Lay It Down riff is so 80"s iconic and not easy to play

[@MyDadWasALifeguard]

I had a chance to plays a 59 light relic Murphy lab a few months ago…absolutely amazing looking..but really nothing more than an off the rack Standard to play..sonically as well ..to be perfectly honest If I had unlimited cash I would have bought one for the looks alone tho

[@darrell3368]

Awesome sounds thanks

[@Bluegeek1]

Wow! that was great Michael

[@toddflowers8052]

Lemmo you never disappoint brother !!! Thanks Jen !!!

[@tcarbonimusic]

That guitar looks and sounds awesome! What a great job by Lemmo . Thanks Jen.

[@bobboitt3126]

Yep, sounded MASSIVE as expected 👍

[@Ronald-xn2ui]

Cool. Real cool.

[@alxra]

Damn, have not heard Lemmo play Ratt before. Sounds great!

[@double_humbucker]

love the riffs of Warren D.

[@billsultzbach7079]

Loved the lay it down did not see that coming

[@wrobie]

anyone know the name of the first song?

[@dmc549]

YES

[@mrdibdles9252]

im a Fender guy myself, but God Damn does this thing sound absolutely incredible 😢

[@sharkman4928]

Got damn!!!!!! That thing is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍

[@stephenreese9841]

The last refitft in waat was played ..you found that guitar's riff... ii what makes its sould good... good jog Micheal....

[@user-qr7ep7ct1k]

Sweet!

[@michaelmitchell5909]

Beautiful guitar. Wish I had the 15 grand that thing cost.

[@roberts6053]

That’s lovely. I notice it wasn’t Tele-like particularly on the bridge like some are. So much variation in sounds from these and there is definitely a range within the range to suit everyone. This one sounded very Richie Sambora to me (am I being crazy here?). I’m now gonna have to dig out my R8 and have a play. Excellent. Thanks.

[@the-northern-light]

So good Lemm

[@beezersurf]

Lemmo you are so good, my friend. Wow.

[@kimL93]

Thats a good sounding guitar

[@duaneho555]

Now that’s a guitar!

[@manbearpig2164]

Yep, that one has the sound

[@Dav2112]

Sounds bad ass.

[@reginamiller3153]

Rainbows in the dark🤘

[@peterkoutros8190]

In my opinion that was mostly Michael's skill.. He can make anything sound great .Beautiful guitar but from the videos I've seen these the sound seem good on some and great on others...I'm planning on getting one next year.. Hope I get lucky.

[@keng9720]

What is that first song?? It's right in my Hippocamous, on the verge of recognition but alas, i can not place it... ugh!! Anyone?

[@gastilarrivey3654]

Same over here, I need the name of that song!!

[@Kovboi]

Haha I’ve listened 3 times and I’m right on the cusp. The last part sounds kinda like Scorpions No One Like You

[@S4KCx]

Is it rainbow in the dark?

[@gastilarrivey3654]

@@S4KCx yessss

[@reginamiller3153]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@gregoryfeo6837]

Its all about the wood!

[@BillNelson-OU812]

What pedal is it going through? These guitars are great and well worth the price especially considering an entry level professional violin is at least 75,000 if not 100,000. Us guitar players are fortunate.

[@silvestrovirdis2315]

Bellissima questa L.P.

[@mikemangold1911]

🤘🤘🤘

[@simoncaddick9085]

♥

[@StreetPreacherr]

Damn, I thought Mike was going SUPERHUMAN this morning thanks to that guitar! Though turns out I actually had it playing at 1.5X speed. lol

[@kazunorealking]

What's the first cool song? Great performance as always！

[@wyattearpp9540]

Lemmo the Looper 😊

[@dr.buzzvonjellar8862]

Sounds way better than most. Very 59 sound.

[@sharkman4928]

Oh no!!!! Mike said a naughty word!!!! Don't worry Mike, we all say it from time to time.🤣

[@CowboyStag]

It does sound like Lemmo is progressing

[@lucasmastroianni295]

goat

[@eloirlima-hr7lt]

Boa noite dusdo bem ❤

[@john_trimble78]

Lemmo layin' it down!

[@19581998]

Gotta love the 3/8” gap between the guard and the bridge pickup ring

[@TinyMaxfer]

tiger stripe les paul

[@ed.earmand2611]

Lay It Down is no joke. lol. That riff makes you work to get that rock n roll grimace on your face. lol.

[@Kdog123123]

I have a question. So Murphy lab ages the guitar right, and that's everything on the guitar?? Because the truss rod cover looks shiny and new. Just an honest question.

[@looking_33]

hardware and plastics are aged as well but there are 4 different levels of aging this one being level 2

[@gregoaks4413]

Lay It Down !

[@icu469]

Why don't u show us your pedalboard sometime. It be nice to know effects your using

[@rontrabbic8827]

How much

[@mattd.311]

Great LP and great playing ! Cannot remember what song you play at 4:00 it drives me crazy ! Can you help us ? =P

[@S4KCx]

Rainbow in the dark

[@stes3061]

You too can have one for Norms super special price today Only $169,999.00 Hurry Norm is slowly liquidating the store before he turns the key. Will Lemmo ever get another job?

[@yahooty07]

I don’t know, but I’ll bet my 1995 Standard sounds about as good as that one. Sometimes this stuff gets a little silly.

[@artamussumatra6286]

100%! With a good setup, dialed into a good amp - and especially when played by someone with incredible chops like Mike Lemmo has - any well made Guitar can sound amazing.

[@richardschley4110]

👍👍👍✌❤😎

[@StreetPreacherr]

My question is, does he ALREADY know all of these songs? Or is he able to just learn a few riffs before each show? As I get older, I find my biggest problem isn't TECHNICALLY playing the parts, it's REMEMBERING which riff comes next, and exactly how it goes... So as I get better at playing, I get worse at recalling the next chord or scale! lol

[@Scrappym4]

He studied at Berkeley college of music and practices a lot. I’m sure he bases these riffs off of other songs from time to time. One riff from this video was a Led Zeppelin song he changed a bit. He’s really an insanely good player

[@allisonholmesmusic97]

I must be the only person who hates flame tops, but damn that sounds incredible

[@snapfinger1]

Wide Ribbon. Tiger Stripe. Pinstripe. The death & resurrection of “the burst” is an event of biblical proportions.

[@jimayres8872]

you should play it threw a marshall....oh and my shirt size is large

[@jimmyfrombrooklyn8550]

It’s a cool, great sounding guitar for sure. But I just can’t get past a new guitar that’s aged/relic’d. Earn your scars, don’t pay for them

[@alexwoolridge94aw]

I'd rather buy a VOS custom shop and have er age as she's played. No need to over pay for patina when that can just come naturally. Better bonds form relicing guitars while playing anyway

[@looking_33]

the modern custom shop lacquer doesn't seem to age much. i've read the reason the murphy lab doesn't sell non aged guitars is because the lacquer they use checks too quickly, they would recieve an enormous amount of warranty claims. The ultra light aged seems to be them just letting it check before sending it out

[@dananthony6258]

It suck to know I’ll never be happy until I own something close to a real 59. I hope bitcoin goes up soon.

[@maxx7733]

Looking fairly ok for the bitcoin

[@adamwatson6916]

Hand painted as in he held the spray gun in his hand and painted the guitar just like every other guitar gets painted or is Gibson trying to dupe people into believing Tom painted the guitar with a brush? Hand painted just means it was painted using a paint gun which is the industry standard. Will the Tom paint Job make the Custombuckers sound more like real PAFs ? I do happen to like Custombuckers but this are a bit different sounding from vintage Pups .

[@user-fv5yo5fi5c]

A+ for effort and details kids. That said, I'm unimpressed with both the Murphy Lab guitars you did in the last 2 days. Neither sounds anything like a real 59.

[@TylerJohnstonGuitar]

For the price of this guy, you could send a chimp to space, teach him how to play guitar, buy him an Epiphone, and have years of enjoyment.

[@Ottophil]

Or you could have a nice les paul. I have no interest in chimps or space. My autism is very singularly focused on the guitar. Id rather live in a cabin in the woods with a nice guitar than live in a huge house with an epiphone. Thats my priorities in life i guess

[@TylerJohnstonGuitar]

@@Ottophil Whatever makes you happy man. I’ll bring my chimp by your cabin if you’d like 🤝🏻 Happy holidays

[@artamussumatra6286]

I’m not a Chimp, never been to Space, don’t have a cabin in the woods and I don’t even have an Epiphone…. But I do have an LTD EC-256 that sounds mighty fine thru my AC-15 which has given me years of enjoyment and continues to do so. 🐵🎸

[@Antoine_Lamarque]

Yes, but would the spaceship be reliced?

[@decadentdevil]

I'll take the Guitar 😂

[@adamwatson6916]

Tom Murphy painted is just another scheme to add more unjustifiable mark up . Why should Tom Murphy painted be worth anymore consideration than a Guitar painted by Gibson painter X Y or Z from the evening shift ? Obviously they are all good painters or they would not be there. Tom Muphy painted won't make it play or sound better and probably won't even look better .. It's not as if his Paint Jobs have telltale features where you look at them and go yep definitely painted by Tom Murphy . What's next adding markup to the guitar because a certain person set the neck ? Monetizing the name of the person who painted the guitar.

[@looking_33]

People are willing to pay more for one done by him, that is why they specify it.

[@butcho7492]

No guitar is cooler than Jen!!!
