How many people watching this have the ability to pick up a guitar and on short notice learn how to play songs this well that you've never before heard. Lemmo is a true professional all the way.

[@photopicker]

It's not impossible but for sure Mike's got the mojo.

[@mikedavis4427]

I'm not the best guitar player in the world but I have always been able to play songs Ive never heard before and have the song figured out as soon as Ive heard all the PARTS

[@henriquekaneno8306]

Playing Adele with a Godzilla shirt...AMAZING

[@jamesshriver7595]

Lemmo, that was amazing...you may not have a recording contract yet, but you are definitely one of my favorite players of all time...you play with soul and emotion and that is a gift to any generation...Happy Birthday Jen...you guys so rock...thanks for making a bright spot in my day

[@brunozilbovicius9408]

Something is wrong with the world when an amazing guitarist such as Lemmo says he doesn't have a record deal due to not knowing what is going on with the present music industry... Lemmo plays and Interprets legendary bands.

[@larrypower8659]

GOTD has been my constant friend since it started. Jen, Mark Agnesi, and the incredible Michael Lemmo ~ I hope you realize the community of GOTD fans you’re building. And many, many thanks to Norm for creating this delectable music feast. I’m 75 and have played guitar since age 13. GOTD puts me in touch with the new and old, makes me so happy I can still play at a high level, and takes me back to why I got into guitar in the first place: I love music and love everything about guitars. Thank you to everyone at Norm’s and Guitar Of The Day. It’s often the best music I hear all day.

[@andrewganley9016]

Along with the Mosrite Ventures Model my all time favorite guitar a true Fender classic always reminds me of The Ventures!

[@schalksteyn9594]

Only the Wizard can conjure up something as special as this. The master strikes once again. Blessings from South Africa in the bush veld.🤗🤗

[@dell5gibson]

Just gorgeous playing, musicianship and feel. I'm rooting for Lemmo to land that record deal!

[@andrewshaw3373]

I've stopped listening to other music and just look forward to Lemmo and guitar of the day

[@edward-clintongrimes9637]

How has Fender not made a Lenmo signature model yet??…. If there is anyone who deserves it it’s definitely this guy. Fact!!!

[@Indigoc33]

WE LOVE YOU JEN! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO!💜💜💜

L épaisseur tonal des AVRI 62 est incroyable !! Les nouvelles productions de jazzmaster av65 vintage 2 et original ont des micros complètement différent. Plus aiguë avec des medium creusé. Les avri62 ont beaucoup de medium et de bas médium. J adore 😍😍😍😍

[@androschpandrosch1273]

Great and funny as always 👍😊

[@pdp1626]

I spent a month religiously analyzing and learning this guitar version of Adele. And I don’t even like Adele. That’s just how good Lemmo is.

[@Claude1100]

F....... Brilliant...

the first half of this video I was like what... the fuck is this? Random co workers w questions? A birthday cake? Inside fridge jokes? Stayed for the Adele cover and you fucking killed it. Great guitar work and lovely jazzmaster.

1966. I was 14. I saved my money shoveling snow,cutting grass ,setting bowling pins. my grandma was always good for a dollar now and then.. I didn’t waste my money on girls or candy bars or cigarettes like my friends did..i saved for almost a year… it was 1966. A quarter would buy a McDonald’s hamburger and fries. But I saved it instead most of the time.. Finally I had enough dough, not for a new fender, A new fender jazz master or Jaguar was $479.. A new Stratocaster, was $410. A new super reverb in 66 was $410, a new fender twin reverb was $479. A new fender champ was $79..Only kids with well off parents that owned their own house and had a car got that kind of gear ..But-at the pawnshop i visited at least once a month checking out the guitars,I bought a 1959 fender jazz master on north side of Pittsburgh PA for $175 in the original brown case. I was thrilled and I couldn’t wait to get home .. I must have played rumble by link Wray 100 times that first day through my harmony amplifier turned all the way up of course.. my new to me jazzmaster was Sunburst with about 10% of the paint flaked off like Stevie Ray Vaughan‘s guitar but not that bad as his…The headstock had cigarette burns on it. The back of the neck, had the finish worn off about 80% of the full length of the neck. So this guitar probably belonged to a sweaty chain smoking pro that probably needed a fix.. I didn’t care about the worn neck, I didn’t care about the cigarette burns, I didn’t care that much about the chipped paint… all I cared about was, that it said fender on the headstock. I was actually proud of the patina, I was going to let people think that I played that finish off, even though I wasn’t even playing bar chords yet.. I really didn’t care, all I knew was, I had fender’s most expensive top-of-the-line guitar now.. that’s all that mattered.. there was another fender guitar at that pawnshop for sale. a Sunburst Stratocaster with the biggest scratch I ever saw on a musical instrument right in the middle of the back of the body, like the guys girlfriend did it for spite, or maybe someone took a shot at him that ricocheted off the back of the body. It didn’t have a case either. it was $100, the fact that it didn’t have a case was the dealbreaker.. looking back, I should’ve bought that Strat. It was clean and the frets were shiny… My jazzmaster was my first good guitar after having a kent 4 pickup ..Life was good.. and so was the music on the radio. unlike today.. 1968. I was 16. I wanted a car, but,I got a brand new Schwinn bicycle for my birthday. $49.99… no small amount in 1966..a fellow guitar playing classmate of mine liked my bicycle.. he offered to swap me a guitar that was given to him to learn on. A 1963 gibson 330 TDC. Beautiful condition in the original case.I swapped him. my mother was mad at me for trading the new bicycle she bought me for $49.99. My father died 10 years earlier,mother was a waitress, it took her a long time to save that money in a glass maxwell house coffee jar she would put her tips in every night..But I still have that guitar here in 2021. SO-After playing a Gibson, I didn’t like that jazz master as much. In fact, there was a 25 year period around 1988 - 2015 in which I never even took that jazz master out of the case. I just didn’t like it after playing a Gibson. I didn’t like the feel of the neck, I didn’t like the fretboard, I didn’t like the tone of the pick ups.. I always described the neck as feeling like a baseball bat split in half with frets on it.. I tried to love the jazzmaster... I had it set up by two different pros. It did not make one bit of difference. It felt like an old station wagon.. slow, and clumsy, and it sounded dull.it was dull..so it stayed in the case year after year.. when I saw how much those guitars were selling for on eBay around 2017. I put it on eBay just for kicks. About two hours later I got a question from a looker. He asked what I would take for it right now. I thought it was just a tire kicker that would lo- ball me so I threw a stupid big round number at him.. A few minutes later, he replied-SOLD!!!! my old jazzmaster i has for over 50 years is in Moscow Russia with the new owner. He is in a surf band, he said he tried the new ones, and they just didn’t have it. He wanted an original vintage one from when the ventures did all the recordings in the studios using JazzMasters. The ventures appeared on stage and album covers with Mosrite guitars but their studio work was done with fender JazzMasters, and he had to have one. I hope he loves it because I didn’t. I bought my wife a brand new car with the money I got for it.. after selling the jazzmaster, I sort of had sellers remorse. I mean, I sold my history, I felt like I just sold my dog,I felt like Judas. So I went out and bought a jazz master, Squier vintage replica I think it’s called.. having owned both the original, and this Squier jazz master. I can tell you, the Squier is better in every way. It has a much better neck, the sound is cleaner, the fretboard feels better..Everything about the Squier jazz master vintage replica or whatever it’s called that I have is better than my original 1959, which was the first year for the tortoiseshell pick guard but the second year for the jazz master. The 1958 had a gold anodized looking pick guard. If you are looking for an investment Jazz master, that’s one thing. But if you think the old stuff is better playing or better sounding, it’s not -unless you like necks Feeling like a baseball bat that was split in half with frets on it, and dull sounding pick ups. I’ve had a few dozen guitars over the decades, I am a guitar junkie like the rest of you..the only reason I hung onto the jazzmaster as long as I did, is because I knew it would become valuable, not because of the way it played or the way it sounded, especially after having Gibsons, Yamaha‘s, Schecter, Ibanez, PRS, Brian Moore, even my EPIPHONEs. sound, feel, and play better then that old jazz master, that I tried having emergency surgery set ups two times to try to get it to play better , nothing was changed in the electronics ever. I was assured that it was original factory issue and it appeared nothing had ever been changed by the techs that tried to make it play like i hoped.. it never did.. The insane money I got for my jazz master, was ridiculous. I mean the guy didn’t even counter offer. I thought everyone in Russia raised their own chickens ,had to wait in line for hours just to buy a loaf of bread, gathered sticks to heat their homes or Froze all winter,and wore clothes left over from WWll.. I was stunned that the guy stepped right up to the plate and didn’t flinch at the price I made up….I felt like I should actually go turn myself in for a robbery…

I got a 62 avri. Genuinely the best guitar I own

[@f1s2hg3]

Mike that song is made for you!

[@tedrenard472]

Beautifully done. That you don't have people calling with a contract is a rather sad indictment of the state of the music industry today. For once, watching Norman's, I gave up thinking about which guitar it was and how many unreachable dollars it would take to get one (or GBP in my case).

[@minder4u1]

I got a beautiful j180 as a gift from Daughter and son In law for under $1500 and the guitar is over 20 years old and plays like a dream

Adele actually wrote that song on guitar, but switched it to piano on the record because it sounded better for the vocal.

What is that song he played at the end?

[@MysticKnight]

I think it's an improv over "I Won't Back Down" by Tom Petty.

[@davidturner9266]

Mister Michael is a assassin on the guitar you could probably put some strings on a rock and it would sound good with you playing

[@viviennerose7100]

personally the idea off a old beat up nasty looking guitar can sell for outrageous amount of money is silly... unless the pick ups have been changed out, just cannot see it. buy a new gorgeous gibson les paul, run it through a tube screamer , maybe change out the strings, new magomy cable, man u are good to go... just my opinion

[@RRStout]

So you took down the video that you posted last night. And then today, an hour ago, you reposted the same video. I just hope this evening, you find it in you, to do Guitar of the Day with an acoustic guitar since we got ripped-off yesterday on Flat Top Friday.

[@MrTexasDan]

First video post had some issues. It froze halfway thru for many folks. Sorry you feel like you got ripped off.

[@stephenstevens6573]

How could anybody feel like this was a ripoff?
