Michael Lemmo's first video at Norman's Rare Guitars

[@allthumbsguitar4953]

Almost sad to watch this, Lemmo should have had a record deal. These are really good songs ,that are well played live. Norm's comment, "Lemmo in limo next time he comes here", is surreal. He's a beast at what a does, I hope he catches the break he's looking for. Also, KUDOS, to Norm, for staying with people he knows are good. It's really awesome, and I will make it to the store soon to support them.

[@sillysausage4549]

Music deals mean nothing these days. Long gone are the days when talented people could make a fortune selling albums. It's all about performance. It's why I no longer listen to music, but watch it.

[@bigNoseoftheCotton]

You nailed in your comment @AllThumbsGuitar

[@macinfloydvolk]

he doesn't need a label .... being indipendent these days is way better for the artist.

[@mineralt]

He already has made it…he’s a KZbin celebrity and doesn’t have to go to a shitty job at an accounting firm. Believe me, a lot of people wish they had his life.

[@macinfloydvolk]

@@mineralt yeah but he doesn’t make KZbin celebrity money. It’s not his channel so.

[@ultimatebasses]

And now Lemmo wows us with Guitar of the Day vids. Thank you Norm for giving him the opportunity to work at the store. It's a real good sign when Jen approves.

[@greg7656]

Hey Lemmo, I'm from the future - get used to that place...

[@davidcampbell4174]

LOL

[@loudmouthnewyorker2803]

And he's playing a Jazzmaster!

[@KareenLomax]

LOL

[@gabrielcallizaya7412]

He should be playing stadiums...by now...one never knows what life has in storage for us.

[@mattmorris2867]

@@gabrielcallizaya7412has in storage? lol.

[@luizspindola]

8 years and he still uses the 2nd song to demo guitars every now and then. Love it!

[@w13rdguy]

Norm asking for another one is like Johnny asking a comedian over to the desk. Y'know, back when jokes were funny.

[@jamesgretsch4894]

You could see his talent even as a very young guy. He's gotten better but you can see he was an ace back then. Love his playing.

[@xxczerxx]

The fact Lemmo didn't "make it" big should be enough to scare most people out of pursuing music as a career. His level of talent is off the charts and he's a brilliant songwriter

[@888Marco]

Well, he is playing with Bonamassa, Orianthi etc. and Tours in Europe right now, i would say he made it xD

[@the_sunlit]

We’re listening aren’t we?? He’s made it in my mind :) People should feel inspired to make beautiful sounds, not recognition & monies haha

[@louisxue3292]

His style is on the classic/old-school side, although it's admittedly fresh air. Just might not be for the people these days

[@Six3rdy]

​@@888Marcowait.......WHAT?!???? I've always had respect for Lemmo, but I never knew about this!!!!

[@mylogify]

@xxczerxx disagree, when you don't have albums, doesn't mean you didn't make it. First of all, wherever you play guitar, wherever you are, work, whatever, when you are happy, that's what matters. He'd have chased being popular, famous, we don't know if it was his primary thing. He's looking pretty comfortable where he is, what he does in his life. Touring, being musician is also not easy, requires a lot of work etc. One can not always want that path in life, like playing soccer, basketball... Not every good player will wanna be a sports player, they can do something else and choose to to something else. Nobody should be scared of anything, do whatever you love.

[@NormanHarris-qb5mm]

Great to re live Michaels first appearance at the store. We knew he was Something special. Thanks to Jordan for bringing him to my attention

[@Bob-Whiting]

I regularly skulk around your channel, but this is the 1st time I've seen THIS video. I always thought Lemmo was this beautiful guitar playin, good lookin kid, but Lemmo can SING! Thanks for sharing this one Norm, you DID discover him, and he's great.

[@tahoedharmabum]

Lemmo...total legend.....even in his skinny macrobiotic Sonic Youth stare-at-the-floor stage.....

[@alexcorona]

It's called shoegazing

[@owenhalfpenny5058]

Damn I didn’t know Lemmo could sing!

[@cluelessguitars5879]

And very good

[@jmanson3310]

BEAUTIFUL! Lemmo singing and playing his heart out and the bass player coming in with those harmonies. I know I must be late to the party but, what raw talent.

[@Braciole76]

So many people out there are full of it. These guys are the real deal.

[@Nikoo033]

And now doing guitar of the day!! Congrats to Michael Lemmo!

[@capnrob97]

They sound great. Just imagine cities all across America though of guys like this, never famous, etc, but can have talent.

[@williammorton2621]

He was good from the start.I have watched dozens of his videos and he keeps getting better. One talented dude !!🙏

[@juliendammert7488]

Eight years ago and already a red offset with matching headstock.

[@warpman345]

he looks like bob Dylan

[@mrtambourineman6107]

Leon Weber deffo

[@evanharnett]

I was thinking more Jacob Dylan.

[@denisbeglesov4552]

That’s his grandma over there..

[@mrtambourineman6107]

He really bloody does!

[@absolving]

Came down here to say the same thing. 63-64 Dylan.

[@georgew.morrowiii118]

The first song had a lot of really cool elements

[@williambeiser5595]

Lemmo deserves to be acknowledge d in such a way.

[@bigharrykochenbauls4567]

Norm: do a little more ...8 years later, still doing a little more

[@photopicker]

Outrageous. So young. Lemmo is the next guitar god.

[@gwbfrench]

Lemmo is such an amazing talent. Blown away. He’s an absolute master on the guitar and now I know the man can sing !

[@sidiox7857]

8 years later and are shooting vidz with Fender! Good job, man. I am very happy!

[@achill3usoverclocking874]

I wish this version would be put on the record, your singing fits this song so perfectly, I always hear it in my head when I play it, anyway I'm sure you had your reasons, love the whole blue comet album and so happy for you :) keep up the spirit Michael!

[@yabo2424]

Amazing, this is real talent!!! Great tone in that dudes voice and his playing is so smooth!!!

[@rockhead69]

Michael Lemmo 8 years ago...like i couldn't tell ! Hehehe....

[@mattperreault3518]

The brightest star takes flight to form Edibles At Night!

[@felipeiolster6721]

That was amazing, can't believe he still hasn't made it big. Keep at it Lemmo!

[@MrRusty145]

Past a certain point you have to sell out to make it big, no matter how much talent you have. Kudos to Michael, I don't think he's about selling out.

[@jamesbell8529]

Happy Anniversary Michael !🎉🥳⚡

[@wesleyAlan9179]

I Been following this guy for a long time,came back here to show a friend. I haven't seen or heard this in forever, damn it sounds so good!

This just popped up onto my recommended vids... Lemmo with a Jazzmaster 7-years ago... PLAYING THE SAME SONG! LOL - Matching headstock is pretty. Nice job, Michael.

Awesome Mr. Lemmo! I did not know you were ever that young. Very cool.

What's the name of the first song? It sounds great

[@amyinponderland]

adore their sound, cannot wait for them to release some tracks. Love from the Uk x

[@millershane71]

So cool to find this after just hearing him a few months ago playing ... i think a 70 Mustang in competition green/blue ... it's up for debate. Loved that guitar and demo! Love your music Lemmo! Keep rocking Brother!

[@martinsellers8110]

Actually when i Began playing the guitar in 1973 , the fellow showing me the ropes said that he wouldn't jam with me until I perfected my vibrato bend. It seems to come to you effortlessly!

[@burakaydogan8722]

I really don't know why but the first song impressed me a lot. thanks Lemmo

If you play an instrument then that is your own sound, be confident. Simply because you don’t play in a unique fashion does not mean you do not have style, the fact that it is you playing your instrument is your style no one else in the whole world can play exactly like you!!

Freshly trained, chasin dreams in La yet to be tarnished by the industry! He’s still amazing & intodays worlld, Lemmo is modest & reserved yet masterfully displays his command for music, playing & great guitars!!

I just happen to see this today and said i gotta watch this, glad i did . Great playing and singing , Mikey has a hell of a strong voice . Bass wad just jamming sounding awesome. 👍 look at mikey now.

[@rafialvarez3308]

Excellent playing, great songs, and it's the first time I've seen someone play a whole song (in this case two songs) using the Jazzmaster's rhythm circuit, and it sounds great! Most Jazzmaster players don't ever go there, they never touch that upper switch.

[@Jez1963UK]

That was very nice - and the singer looks like a young Bob Dylan ! Beautiful - and I feel qualified to know what's good and what's not. Every success guys - keep following your hearts..... it's your compass home.
