Guitar of the Day: 1963 Gibson ES-335TDC Cherry | Norman's Rare Guitars

[@nitzanabutbul9894]

Playing a vintage Gibson with a fender t shirt , that’s is playing AUTHENTIC!!!

[@dave_d_i_a_l]

Ahahahahaha 🤣😂🤣, that was a good one

[@Kennyk77]

The depth of Lemmos talent is refreshing

[@jakkuc01]

This is one of my favorite episodes. Not even a big Clapton fan, but LOVE Lemmo’s renditions. Beautiful work.

[@loudmouthnewyorker2803]

You said it Jacob. I'm also not a Clapton fan but all of a sudden I wanna hear some Cream and Yardbirds.

[@RobertoGaspar69]

Not a fan of Clapton post Cream. But Lemmo playing is another story!! He should start his own channel!,

[@benjamintruax4157]

Norm you are so lucky to have Micheal on staff. I'll keep listening and watching.

[@markwarren250]

One can never go wrong with Clapton on guitar of the day

[@breakandrun70]

Michael, you were living, way back in time, and dam, you did a great job of it. I'm amazed how you can pick out some of that music, you my man, are a very talented man.As always Jen, you are very talented woman, keeping those guys in line and producing some real good video, Kudos to you. Have a great week.

[@MrGuitarHack]

Lemmo, absolutely beautiful instrumental version of "Wonderful Tonight." You did that guitar justice.

[@RikBizz]

No guitar is demoed until its Lemmo'ed. Solid COVID content Norm's, this goes great with a black cup of coffee and a sunny Friday morning.

[@3cardmonty602]

Some of the greatest playing by Lemmo ever! Thanks Mike - Go Flyers!

[@ODaySong]

LEMMO plays anything in his own style !! AWESOME !! 👍

[@connorreid7128]

Lemmo you are truly a gift to the guitar world🙌🏻

[@JourneymanActor]

Guitar is a beast. That bridge pickup just wanted to scream. 👍

[@Snowghost76]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@eoinkane5908]

11:25 I don't know what's more monstrous the guitar or the dude distorting space and time with it holy shit

[@jadmcgregor]

I'm pretty sure Lemmo could make a banjo and a megaphone sound amazing!!! Love watching him play!!!

[@mikeblueblaze]

Nice I started on 335 Gibson in my early days of rocking out always my first love. Thanks again and have a wonderful weekend

[@zacharykarras6027]

Simply WOW Michael. Does anyone else now want a “Lemmo Plays Clapton” covers album, or is it just me?

[@russclewley6945]

Lemmo this was the best GOTD I have seen/ heard in awhile! Excellent!

[@kw7292]

Michael your playing was superb today. You were toying with us at one point. You just killed it.

[@aeondream]

That’s the exact guitar I started out on in 1963. Wish I had held on to it but alas that 52 tele I traded it for didn’t feed back as much on gigs.

[@rossljensen]

dude, i got lost in those covers man..wow. I was like oh yeah, this isn't a concert hahah amazing!

[@gerardwalsh5969]

Thank you Michael-your time is impeccable. Regards, Hbg, PA

[@gerardwalsh5969]

Playing too, as always. Cheers!

[@stevelinbergbaby135]

Great playing from Lemmo like always.

[@senord2429]

5:34 may be the best performance of Sunshine of your love I’ve ever heard

[@coachdewalls9355]

Lemmo dropped some funk on them crossroads! These guitars were made for electric blues...no doubt!

[@plumiegirl47]

I swear he said on his Instagram that he is taking a little blues class. But he can’t read music?! I wish for an once of his skills

[@abaulcomb]

Fantastic playing.

[@thedaver8]

Well folks, we've done it. We've reached peak guitar demo. This is the GOAT.

[@Flyingnono]

Playin a Gibson with a Fender T-shirt, that’s just destiny showing who’s the best 😎

[@RobertoGaspar69]

And which is the best???

[@madebydbm]

How the hell has this got *any* down votes, let alone 23?!! What a great sounding guitar, especially that bridge pickup. And brilliantly played by ML. Lovely stuff.

[@daviddalziel884]

Dream guitar but to be fair I played a Memphis reissue a few years back and it was great -nylon saddles and all !

[@jcbravo4021]

without words, your face says it all !!! great guitarist great guitar. Thank you

[@markmartin3221]

Tastefully done Michael and thanks for the normanclature breakdown on what the letters stand for, Okay 👌

[@TheRockyhockey007]

beautiful 335 , not a huge RED fan but luv the 335's and EC , especially the Cream era , Derek and the Dominoes , etc. , definitely my favorite guitarist , this one has monster sound , huge , big hollow body sound , very creamy , luv to hear Lemmo noodle as well , rock on dude. thanks guys

[@jorisev]

The best live guitar sound I ever heard was Noel Gallagher playing one of these. It sounds HUGE! Like a warm blanket. Nice demo lemmo, thanks :-)

[@mickyp2006]

Doesn’t Noel play a 345 with a bigsby? Similar but not the same

[@jorisev]

@@mickyp2006 ah yes, I think it did have a bigsby. Google is telling me it's a 60s ES-355 actually. I saw him with Oasis in 2009...

[@ricksnyder4338]

THAT WAS AWESOME! Lemmo you rock. Always look forward to watching Guitar of the day. And screw these idiots that give thumbs down, fly by night wanna be's. Rock on bro!

[@urbanerphoenix5132]

I think that crossroads was recorded at winterland 1967 with "The Fool" sg. Am I right? Please if somebody know anything about that please comment .

[@indieguy81]

I have always heard that he played the 335 on "Crossroads" but that doesn't mean it's true. I'm sure you can find an interview somewhere of Clapton talking about it.

[@williamkiss8517]

'Crossroads' was The Fool SG indeed. The only time he ever used the 1964 335 in Cream was the 2nd & final set of the farewell concert, at the Royal Albert Hall. He did use it later in the Dirty Mac, Blind Faith and sporadically afterwards. For instance, on the road for one show with Derek & The Dominos supposedly.

[@indieguy81]

@@williamkiss8517 good to know. Thanks for the info!

[@williamkiss8517]

@@indieguy81 No worries. I've been obsessed over this stuff for a long time. Glad I could share this info :). 'Crossroads' from Wheels Of Fire was recorded on 3/10/68 (March) at the Winterland Ballroom, San Fransisco. A search for photographs from this date shows that Clapton only had the SG on stage with him that night, so it can be presumed that he used that on the track. www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/cream-march-9-1968-at-winterland-ballroom-sf.2091405/ This has lots of photos too.

[@dubskj01]

Not a lot of people know that Eric's brother Ernie was the inspiration behind the famous Rolling Stones track "He Ain't Ernie, He's My Mother" which was a hit before it was recorded at the famous London recording studio Flabby Road.

[@leonkennedy8259]

Awesome guitar and awesome player

[@ecrecords615]

First Union, then Wachovia, now Wells Fargo! We can't stick to our arena name for more than 5 years in Philly lol

Lemmo you need to chill tf out, bro, you’re making all of us look bad 😂

[@cramster3495]

Jesus Mike that was good

[@TorToroPorco]

Yes Les Pauls are very nice and vintage ones fetch a king’s ransom. But the Gibson that really turns me on and would rather have (if I had to pay for it with my own money) is the 335. Sunshine Of Your Love pretty much cemented that choice for me.

[@owen_asztalos]

Lemmo was on fire today

[@stevenheath741]

GREAT vibrato Lemmo Clapton would have to happy with that....

Thorogood plays a Epiphone ES-125TDC. It’s his signature

[@MrTeleSpanker]

Smokin hot demo ! Hot damn !

[@mh-oh8kf]

Wowza

Clapton still plays the 335. If you find the "I Still Do" documentary, he says that he uses Strat and 335 when recording.

[@jonnybeck6723]

Hey Mikey he likes it!

[@mattrogers1946]

These are the coolest semi hollowbodies Gibson made
