Guitar of the Day: 1964 Gibson ES-335 Sunburst | Norman's Rare Guitars

[@joelesko1419]

Never heard him play anything better, superb!

[@KieranManning-n6e]

No joke, the first thing Lemmo plays starting at 2:54 is one of my favourite pieces of music ever. Fucking hell

[@tedfurlo2268]

Michael Lemmo, I must say, A particularly exquisite showcase of your talent!

[@arthurblackhistoric]

That whole bridge pickup set was hypnotically fascinating. What an absolutely incredible guitar . . and played by an absolute master guitarist!!

[@robertwinkler5194]

Lemmo was feeling that second piece !! I want to thank the Norms crew for putting this content in the world - it’s a better place because of it. Stay cool

[@jr0706]

That’s seriously some of the best playing I’ve heard. And what a guitar.

[@sammyhomeboy7056]

Mike’s playing is a stellar! What a wonderful tune in the beginning. Waiting for the album, man!

[@Wingman52]

Of all the guitars he plays he seems to be most inspired playing these old 335s. He may love the Jazzmasters but the 335s bring something out in him that the others don't. I hope he has one of his own.

[@camwinston5248]

200% right spot on !!

[@cjdaniel7828]

DAMN! That was phenomenal! Lemmo is like EVH, before EVH was a thing. Mike, really enjoy your playing & unassuming attitude. Can't afford that guitar, but love to hear you play it.

[@DNeil5]

He still blows me away! After watching I don't know how many videos of him, everyone is different KOOL! Don't know how he does it!

[@camwinston5248]

Mikey is a 335 hand...he just ain't admitted too himself yet...excellent playing Lemmo !

[@MichaelDeFillippo8889]

Agreed !

[@LukeRock197]

What's one of those??

[@gfgranja]

Agreed. forget the Jazzmaters Lemmo, 335 is the way to go!

[@naj_z]

The best performance I’ve seen from him till this day… speechless

[@maltesetony9030]

@0:34 - "We're always buying especially vintage guitars as they're not making 'em any more . . . " Classic!

[@connorfischer3283]

That’s gotta be the best GOTD I’ve ever heard and I’ve seen literally every episode. The quick licks on the 12 bar blues and that first piece was just amazing

[@MattyK-USA]

"All knobs at Lemmo, more than a touch of reverb..." Time moves on. Lovely guitar, and a lovely performance by Mike.

[@RobChappers]

Always love your playing Lemmo, keep up the incredible work and hopefully we will get the chance to hang when the plague has finished :-)

[@georgejungle2255]

And the captain too??

[@connorfischer3283]

Dude was just in flow state on this one. Just kept finding really tasteful stuff that was just killer

[@clutchcarabelli8054]

HOLY F'n S when Lemmo takes his abilities to a 9 We're all reminded What's Up!! that Crossroads was Cool AF!!!

[@Fox-86]

Your playing on the middle position was just great

[@bemf4532]

what song was it

[@Isaac_howell]

@@bemf4532 crossroads, by Clapton

[@Isaac_howell]

@Deleting KZbin isn’t easy. Of course, who didn't 'borrow' from Robert Johnson

[@torydrake2846]

Lemmo is so awesome.. I've been listening to the first tune in this video everyday for a week already! Better than anything on the radio today, i could just listen to you warm up and play over almost anything! God bless you man

[@guitarswhiskeyandgolf]

Lemmo strikes again with a killer groove. Amazing to throw in those octave melody lines and keep that complex chord groove going

[@friele80]

A muse, riding on the storm... End was great!

[@Warrior_Pilgrim]

Lemmo of the day, hosted by another guitar! His playing is out of this world!!!!! This is the only guitar review channel where the guitar is a true master!!

[@nancychace8619]

Awfully good. Beautiful guitar and Lemmo did a great job playing it. Thanks for sharing.

[@CNFir-fs6zs]

The obvious thing is that Michael loves to play guitar. He has the ideal setup to play great guitars through good amps. As he keeps playing he is improving before our eyes, the audience. He gets the feedback and he knows he's appreciated and keeps playing great while being a humble person. Get the 335. Trade Norm - guitar lessons for the guitar.

[@lolvideo123456789]

dude that sense of time on crossroads....insane!

[@seek5842]

yes he's really in tune with it - god gave rock n' roll to you

[@vobecky]

Wow Lemmo!!!!!!!! What was that first song? Thanks for sharing your skills with us all! Inspirational!

[@rongamblin2107]

Outstanding, thank you for the free concert.

[@christianjonesmusician]

Genius playing ML. Picking my jaw off the floor brother

[@kennethchapman9564]

Lemmo making that 335 really sing. Fabulous.

[@ArtEpstein]

Exceptional. Simply exceptional.

[@ud251]

Absolutely love anything he plays!

[@tbrown805]

Michael and the 335 sounded SO good. Tons and tons of energy

[@connorfischer3283]

Yea this still one of the best episodes in my opinion. From start to finish just nailed it

[@carlito7863]

Love the first one. Pur Magic sound!!! 🤯👏

[@bagsbunny]

Here in the U.K, our Straturday videos arrive Sunday morning. I have guitar porn with my 1st coffee of the day, every day, and the coffee GENUINELY tastes even better if it’s a Normans Rare guitars day. This was exceptional. I need more coffee to recover. Love and respect from Lahndan Tarn.

[@TheLocalZeroChannel]

Wow. What a range. And the guitar's pretty good too.

[@dep1001]

Great playing, man. I always enjoy it. It can get a bit tedious to hear those same blues solos and licks and just random notes played as fast as possible - which 90% of youtube guitar vids are about. So this is just lovey. Thanks, Lemmo.

[@SneakySniperGuy]

Pisses me off. Friggin alien or something. When they come back to take you home, please take me with you. Bravo and FU all in one! Whew. Staggering.

[@benjamintruax4157]

Another Ausome demo from a man that really knows how to play a guitar. Thanks Michael and Norm.

[@arthurblackhistoric]

I love these Gibson ES-335, 345, 355 guitars, Epiphone Sheratons, Rivieras, Dot Deluxes, 345s and 355s . . All the rest, even SGs and Les Paul's, are just so much kindling to me. Strats? Wouldn't have one in the house! Gretsch? Maybe on a good day. I had a Gretsch White Falcon double-cut. Absolute rubbish! I was well rid of it when I sold it. It'll do the rounds I reckon. Each successive owner will think he can fix it . . Nah! But I come here to Norm's KZbin page to see and hear the Gibson hollow and semi-hollow guitars being put through their paces by Michael Lemmo, one of the best guitar pickers I ever saw! 🙂

[@brucesguitardemos8197]

Absolutely brilliant 🤩

[@gabelieberman8799]

Just picked up an epiphone es-335 in sunburst. These guitars are truly beautiful, as is the playing!

[@allonhanohof4496]

That first track was very Paul Weller yyyyy good stuff 🕺 And all the rest of the tracks just mind blowing your amazing guitarist so many techniques used some subtle some not so But you can see the gift you have mixed with some very hard work/Practice I’m sure if all the guitar greats that have left this earth could see you play they will all take their hats off to you .....just saying 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@djskampy]

What. A. Player. And what a beautiful guitar!

[@SamSveistrup]

shouldn't compare but he's one of the greatest

[@JustinTabor24]

Love me a good 335. Nothing better.

[@RevMishka]

Michael, you are one gifted player! Absolutely killer! Thanks for putting the 335 through its paces! No one could do it better! Awesome!

[@f1s2hg3]

Michael you always have a great guitar to show me that is the best thing next to the players including you Mike we always listen and never disappointed Norm has a great show!!!! 5 ⭐️!!!!

[@danbaker8582]

Not everybody can make that guitar sound like that . Nice job Mike!!

[@In_MT]

En Fuego my good sir

[@anthonygonzalez8684]

I just enjoy hearing Michael play guitar period. Plays anything tastefully and very seasoned. Great Job as always. 😊🎸👍🏻❤

[@matteocampostrini2770]

Wow Lemmo, thanks for these amazing, very well-spent 17 minutes!

[@rogerd9966]

My bucket list guitar. Great job Lemmo.

[@lawrenceberge2185]

Fantastic guitar, Amazing playing! Well done, Mr. Lemmo, well done.

[@shayeasy]

a beautifully rich and dynamic sounding instrument and it took lemmo all of five seconds to demonstrate that

[@ryantroiano2463]

Michael, you remind me so much of my brother who is also a Michael, in fact. Absolutely love watching you demonstrate your absurd musical ability everyday. I always look forward to watching Normans’s GOTD videos every day. A true motivation to myself as I’m about 8 or so months in learning guitar on my own. Hopefully, I’ll make it out there soon to visit Norm’s because I’m so fascinated by not only the diverse selection, but by your versatility on the axe as well. From Connecticut - peace and love! Keep rockin’ Lemmo.

[@jerrymcgeorge4117]

Tremendous Michael, BRAVO!!!!!

[@danielpatting9045]

The part at 1:30 to 1:33 is killer. The notes Michael is playing are in tune with his talking. You got guitar playing in your veins man. I feel that because I got it as well. Keep practicing and playing, you’re delivering great stuff day after day. 👍

[@jamescoventry6657]

This was unbelievable. Lemmo you’re playing is becoming godlike !!

[@bradvideos]

Outstanding demo Lemmo on this glorious 335. This is my favorite guitar and I really want one, and I don’t even play. I never miss one of your norm’s rare guitars videos, and this is one of the very best. Thank you!

[@richardhedd3080]

Just phenomenal playing Michael!! The Gibson sounds awesome too!!

[@Jnichols77]

Incredible

[@mvmmotovlogmusic2815]

Not only is the playing brilliant, also thanks for letting us hear the actual tone of the guitar. 👍🏻💙👍🏻

[@janefossen8350]

Keep going!!! That's what she said.

[@Irlose1]

Oh man…that’s such great stuff. If I had your chops…my fingers would be worn out. Love it.

[@greg6L6GC]

Great guitar…great guitarist. A match.

[@jodysheridan604]

🤟 WOW!!! 🤟

[@skyking228]

Gifted no doubt, ty.

[@thomastobiassen1569]

Holy cow! This has to be one of the top five gotd!

[@mrfxm55]

The ES 335 is my fave and Lem tears it up just like I wish I could lol if I could buy a Vintage it would be at Normans! Rare Guitars.

[@jimbonacum8917]

Excellent as always. The 335 is my dream guitar and someday when my ship comes in I hope to get one. Recently I read something (sorry I can't remember where) that said the famous recording of Crossroads on Wheels of Fire was not played on a 335 but rather on "The Fool", Clapton's psychedelic SG. He certainly played a 335 during the famous farewell concert at the Albert Hall which may be why so many of us associate that guitar with the music he played during that era. But it really doesn't matter Clapton would sound great no matter what he was playing.

[@bradleymerino1531]

I know it's like, super subjective, but this is like, totally, a perfect sounding guitar. OMG

[@eightyoutube11]

These sound great in person, but lack personality in a studio setting . I find recording with these made my music sound like music you hear in a elevator or at the bank. SG’s, p90’s, fenders, are the way to go.

[@freddaniel5099]

Sweet guitar & played very well by Mr. Lemmo. Not a Strat. Still it's a nice listen on a Saturday evening. Thanks!

[@allisonholmesmusic97]

Holy shit that’s some amazing playing. Good job Michael

[@ryanramsey6391]

There we go!

[@taloujazz9504]

dream guitar

[@joezambrano9651]

You are a mad genius mike

[@zacharyhefta3227]

God that guitar is beautiful, and beautiful playing Lemmo!

[@greensombrero3641]

[@chasedelao4722]

[@mcadamsrandy]

Good Job ! I'm a Lefty and Jen sold me at go ON!

[@kevinmcgrath8969]

[@indiefilmandmusic]

Nice playing. Great groove.

[@franielee38]

Love the ES 335!! 💜

[@adaptiveagile]

Best cover ever. Ever.

[@davemeshamsr6000]

Wow

[@davecooper360]

Man I just love 335s! The look, the feel, the sound... everything.. if I had the $$ I'd have a small collection of em. What's he playing through? I love that tone and reverb!

[@philbergeron5306]

Wow ,thanks

[@billylee4719]

Wow!

[@DESERTCYCLI5T]

Damn, that was some fine ass playing! Oh nice guitar too…..

[@glenngarver687]

5 THUMBS UP MIKE! 👍👍👍👍👍 🔥

[@derekmosher4561]

Lemmo killing it as usual , love it .

[@HiHello-ku1fl]

Lemmo I feel like that guitar was inspiring you and you got lost in it like we all love to do. That was quite a jam and in a few different places was amazing. Also do you listen to The Wave radio station?? That first song sounds like something I would hear on that station and I loved it. Keep em coming man....that was cool.

[@morgannunneley136]

I cannot stop smiling, fuck everything you play is just magic. Trying to learn the first tune right now!

[@willgoodfellow3144]

Me too! Do you know if that tune is something he just made up?

[@Guilherme.Magalhaes]

Tone machine!! 🔥

[@w13rdguy]

Sounds like Lucille's sister, "Roxanne." Or a close cousin🤩

[@earlcarl4116]

Amazing guitar session!
