Guitar of the Day: 1968 Gibson ES-335 | Norman's Rare Guitars

[@rangeofmotion5993]

This dude has got ideas for dayzzz.... I feel like he brings something new to the table each episode. Damn.

[@adco]

Range of Motion totally agreeing with you. Talent deluxe!

[@dizzyrider3883]

Yup. As did Mark before him

[@krisberntzen]

At first I thought he was all tapping and slapping and super rhythmic stuff, and I honestly lost a bit of interest. But going back to random episodes, he seems to know all the tricks in the book and then some

[@kellyc2425]

Michael, I could seriously listen to you jam ALL day. Somebody is gonna find out about you and you'll be off to the stratosphere!... Or is that 'Jazzmastersphere'?

[@adco]

Kelly Clark can’t agree with your comment more 👍

[@OpenMike90]

SO refreshing to see guitar reviews/demos that aren't just blues riffs. Lemmo just kills it every time, and makes this one of the best guitar series on KZbin, IMO.

[@jamesrabic5380]

I know you love the Fender Jazzmasters (who doesn’t?) but an ES335 really works for your playing style.

[@brewerfan100]

Most versatile guitar ever!

[@wilkowilkins363]

@@brewerfan100 most versatile player ever....

[@panam4redd]

Petition to convince Lemmo to buy an ES for his rig.

[@nolanr7679]

He needs a PRS in his arsenal, but yes he rocked this one today.

[@joriszsz95]

Lemmow = mellow = ideal for an ES

[@davids9192]

One of Lemmo's best. That "player grade" ES has so much character brought to life by Michael.

[@mrcarloselche248]

Falling in love with his playing. With Mark I was interested in the guitars. With Lemmo I want to hear him play!

[@surf247365]

Lemmo is a champ at innovative musical ideas. So glad Gibson hired Mark. He was good but not on same level at all as Lemmo. 🔥🎸🤘🏾

[@blackhawkdangles1879]

Nah your absolutely right. Lemmo takes the thrown.

[@AvidGaymer42]

My grandfather owned the exact Walnut finish that he mentioned at the beginning, and the guitar was bought and manufactured in the year my mother was born, 1968. It was his go-to guitar for any gig from then on. Played it so much, there was a sweat mark on the body from how much he couldn't put it down. When my mother was kicked out of her childhood home, (before graduation of high school), she was given it, for different reasons. 1. If she decided she wanted to learn to play, it'd be a fantastic guitar to learn on. 2. Investment. My Mom never knew what he spent on it, but he onew it'd be worth something. (Out of curiosity, Mom took it to an appraiser, he estimated about $5k in 1995) Years later, when my Mother moved in with my Father, (from an abusive ex), my father took interest in it. Before anything could happen, their apartment was broken into, and the guitar was the only thing that was stolen from them, and my parents suspected a family member that had knowledge of the value of the instrument. Now, to me. I received my grandfather's acoustic guitar, a Fender. Not sure what model. I've always wanted to play, but my parents thought I wouldnt stick with guitar playing. Now, 1½ months later, I've got gear, my Grandfather's amp, 2 electric bought with my own money, and I'm learning something every day. Hoping to one day play on the sam guitar my grandfather had. I was 9 when he passed. I am 22 now. My mother hears and sees me play, and she says that he would be so proud. He had a natural talent, couldn't read a note on sheet music, but you tell him to listen to a song, and 10 minutes later, he could play it by ear. I never quite got to experience that, but needless to say i dont have that talent 😂

[@dr.buzzvonjellar8862]

Lemmo, you are one of the most important players of your generation. Don’t let your head get big. Just stay true to your muse and keep pulling great stuff out of the sky

[@jltrem]

And one other bit of advice....don't go to work for Gibson.

[@TheChadPad]

@@jltrem Ya know what, Mark went for his dream job, and God bless him for it. It's not his fault his higher ups suck. He's there for what Gibson should be, not what it is

[@joshuawilson1396]

First song was incredible. Wondeful music, great playing, and great time!

[@bryanelkins201]

Michael, the first two arrangements are haunting me! Get them on a record! NOW!

[@frankconcepcion6593]

Its an amazing thing when unlimited creative potential and a true understanding of theory and technique exist in the same person. Those are the greats. LEMMO will be one of them one day

[@accobodla]

Lemmo, the past two or three days have been amazing. More of this. Digging the solo stuff. Great tunes, just loving it.

[@LexWilson]

Such a phenomenal talent, so many ideas, so much feels. A guitarists' guitarist

[@krisberntzen]

That first song is just so beautiful!

[@RubbelisPro]

Whenever Michael brings out the looper, you know it's gonna be a good episode.

[@throbgod13]

Lemmo, you need this 335... This is the best playing you've done so far... Without doubt..

[@albertomagotti7012]

That's what i think every time..

[@throbgod13]

No, this time was clearly different..

[@nickgates4387]

He’s done things like this before but it’s rare.... you have to pay attention closely to catch him going off.... but yes for sure this is definitely some of his best playing right there!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@peterwaringofficial]

Michael, the lead sound you get starting around 5.50, and the riff sound starting at 10.03 is sublime. Just wonderful! Thank you 👍

[@williamshore3942]

Absolutely loved the playing, this episode! Listened over and over, on fire!

[@michaelsowers8584]

Always showcase very nice guitars, but more importantly, you are such a fine, innovative guitarist. Really enjoy your compositions.

[@heathworsley8347]

One of my most favorite video so far.! Looking forward to sharing it with my dad a bunch of friends. Keep on rocking Lemmo !!!

[@tyleranderson9190]

That’s a look no custom shop can copy! Amazing playing too!

[@eddfanning]

Excellent taste and playing is unreal!!!!

[@promerops]

Beautiful melodies. Beautiful playing. Thanks Mike and Jen.

[@Kennykoo65]

Mesmerized by Lemmo’s playing.

[@JNava]

Does anybody know the songs he’s playing? Or is he just jamming/improvising it all? This sounds amazing.

[@huntertrivette5183]

How in the hell does this get dislikes? Unbelievable playing. Great stuff!

[@zepp1832]

I wish there was a section on the website specifically for the guitar of the day guitars.

[@davedrok6632]

Damn, man. Another jam to put on repeat. Amazing again.

[@bobsimmons3466]

I made my first comment before watching Michael play - that’s how a 335 is to be played, my friend!

[@leiferickson9666]

Beautiful guitar, and really beautiful playing, Mike......🍁leiferickson

[@bryceshuster6767]

Another GOTD, another day of Lemmo killing it with the loops

[@kellyc2425]

Dude is absolutely 💯!!

[@RandellVandergriff]

I love his playing. I own a expensive semi hollow not made anymore. It has a Bigsby. And looks like The Back To The Future semi hollow. I love that Gibson. Pickups are all right for being that old. I would have never thought I would learn to play the guitar and have a used expensive new semi hollow. Like Roy Clark. Glen Campbell, Charlie Pride, Country singers, rock singers, Chuck Barry etcc.. I could still pinch myself. Lemmy is so great at playing the guitar.

[@gzo313]

RandellVandergriff you lost me on where you were going there. Come back to us.

[@DJFalkoHannover]

This model is far from the 345 TD Stereo of „back to the future“! omfg, what are you talking about?

[@001USA001]

Best demo I’ve seen, ever. Great guitar. Great work!!!!

[@onemanswrld]

Couple of beautiful jams there young man...soulful and real...well done!

[@JoeGariano]

Awesome thing there with the looper. These are cool guitars, but I'm often more impressed with what he plays and how he plays it.

[@bobmrkus3185]

Wow!!! Like Jen said, I like the 2nd one. But there nothing like a Lemmo Concert!!!

[@JT-gd7he]

Another beautiful and versatile ES-335. Great playing. I’ll be in Hatboro in a month.

[@johnpowers2921]

Never having used one, my son a very accomplished guitarist tells me how hard it is to use a looper the way Mike does. He just makes it look so easy

[@jonlennon3348]

For such a worn and some what abused instrument Michael brings it alive with sweet sweet playing. He is so talented.

[@gzo313]

jon lennon Yes!!! Everyone says how great the guitars sound when he plays them. But really its not just that the guitars sound great, he makes them sound great.

[@groosha6]

That first tune hit the spot for me haha. Was that an original or can I find it somewhere?

[@toddflowers8052]

Gawd that thing is so cool looking and you make it sing Lemmo ! Thanks Jen !

[@deanchristensen3393]

Lemmo, Lemmo, and more Lemmo .... The only way today's GOTD could be better is if that 335 had 1 more pick up .... for one more song. Thanks Mike and Jen. Hope you're really enjoying your vacation.

[@martinmartin8871]

i had one of these so cool. cherry narrow neck tone with the nylon saddles..... yum yum yum

[@GundogJake]

Super creative playing once again, on my favourite guitar! Good times!!

[@TheChadPad]

That was some tasty soloing. That put the soul in solo

[@themachine300]

Wow those songs were amazing, really blown away! Just great stuff

[@paulstanley3019]

I didn’t start saving guitar demos until now. More Es guitars

[@naxxodrop]

There are so much reasons why Michael Lemmo is waaaaaaaaaay better than Mark Agnesi carrying this show. I love all the things you do with the looper, and always something fresh to play in the demos. Thank you LEMMOOOOO DEMOOOO

[@podfjsfgsspdjapos8888]

Went to that Met exhibit. Absolutely worth checking it out!

[@johnpowers2921]

By far one of the most enjoyable demos by Lemmo

[@wilkowilkins363]

Dammmmmn... That was some serious and utterly fantastic playing Michael.. Why stop so quickly on that last jam... I wanted it to go on.. And on... And on... Fabulous 😊

[@Geromill]

Ohhh!!!! Today I was looking for some Gibsons and found this one, and you just uploaded a video of it

[@maximilien_4382]

what a surprise ! I don't need to stay up until 3 am to see the episode right after it comes up !

[@geminidreamno2]

Michael. Your phrasing and voicings were amazingly beautiful. And that guitar is hubba-hubba. I want it like I want Amy Adams! Oye!

[@eternalme6077]

Oh shit............I'm IN LOVE WITH THIS GUITAR!!! She is a BEAUTY! Jen Learned a lot from Agnesi, who loves ya Jen. 🎸💚

[@westernOne11.]

How do I get the tabs for the first two songs ?? I’m a huge fan

[@phatbassanchor]

Love Gibsons! Love ES-335's! Today's special is beautiful in the gold finish. Yet, if I had my choice I will always prefer Heritage Cherry. Color preferences aside, your elegant play style really showed off both the warm rhythm tone vs the biting lead tone of this masterful instrument. Thanks for sharing :)

[@jeffsaginaw1769]

The color is Sparkling Burgundy (Fender had Burgundy Mist) and the nut is 1 9/16" and another Lemmotastic looperism tutorial. Thanks Mike and Jen

[@rossmclean7569]

Everything was awesome man and that guitar sounds great. But That first jam (Neck Pickup) was amazing. and Jen's nails on that neck... was a highlite of my week :D

[@martinandersson5833]

What a cool guitar. Got some real mojo. Awesome job Lemmo as always! 👍👏

[@TheRockyhockey007]

Man , that is a killer guitar ,, even on a low output , clean and sober , such tone and vibrance , of course it helps to have a guitar master who is also well versed with the looper , fantastic overlapping sound , very EC , one of the best GOTD's ever , well done guys , beautiful guitar.

[@rexnavarro2918]

beautiful playing and a beautiful guitar...

[@PrehistoricBeasts]

Thank you, Michael, for being an inexhaustible musical idea treasure chest.

[@OniDasAlagoas]

Even tho you have some audio problem in this video, what kind of cameras you use? They capturate sound so good.

[@thebreakfastmenu]

68 is my favorite year for 335s. That is one unique looking guitar. Definitely not ugly. Sounds sweet enough to put me in a sugar coma too.

[@martinmcgimpsey9750]

Awesome set Michael! Awesome video!

[@d-mack7053]

Please don't wake me............I'm having a dream right now I'm there right now buying that guitar.

[@sefton1972]

Class playing. I’m a recent convert to a looper pedal. Great for a rhythm guitar whilst you work out your noodling. But ultimately great playing Mike.

[@daniel_chayra]

Dude I love it when Lemmo plays clean!

[@coachdewalls9355]

You definitely won't have to worry about getting fired on your week off with that playing! I agree with the comment that you and 335s get along rather well.

[@Smagledorf]

Beaut of a ES-335! I see you're trying to rack up some Gibson numbers on the tally there ey Lemmo! However! Gotta do a Maton!

[@Birbdup]

Might be my favourite episode in a long time

[@tituschalk]

Superb! Some of your best playing yet!

[@nickgates4387]

LEMMO WAS FEELING IT TODAY FOR SURE!!!!!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@docskate4312]

Made Jens' "ooouuhhhwoouhh" be my ringtone. Hope that's ok.

[@joelsimms4636]

I love 335s like you love Jazzmasters! My dream guitar. I like the hard tail.

[@Natalia-jn8ul]

He's just getting better! 👏👏👏

[@skeetschuler1859]

Second Great inovative playing on a beautiful 335. Thanks

[@jonathanmeyer1164]

Loving it. Looper pedals and semi hollows equal tons of fun.

[@davidcampbell4174]

That was bitchin', in every possible way. Pretty good for someone that wasn't even working today :p

[@robbryant3588]

Michael has IT! IT can't be taught. Only a select few are born with IT.

[@mrwhite6743]

Rob Bryant practice makes perfect

[@rorymcloughlin2023]

Beautifully played

[@Danowarthemanowar]

Somehow Lemmo always surprises me.

[@michaelgoodhand2313]

The Met show - "Play it Loud" is amazing, and runs through October. Enjoy Michael!

[@zgparsons]

Mad good playing 🎸

[@daciuk8]

Best ever today Michael.

[@Rolandogsd]

The solo was exquisite.

[@camilo.ribeiro]

Very good tones. Lemmo + Looper is killing combination!

[@tomfischer8751]

Wow Man! What a awesome Sound

[@yestoES355]

Lemmo > Mr. Authentic Mike is just killing it and brought me back to these vids.

[@byokes21]

Every time Lemmo finishes a song, he looks up at Jen with puppy dog eyes that ask, "Did you like it...?" hahaha

[@rickstorm1044]

Some very cool sounds running through your fingertips today

[@leiferickson9666]

Last tune was cool, the guitar was unbelievable....🍁

[@joelsimms4636]

PS l love it when you use the looper. It lets you get in a groove and show your stuff! You need that guitar man!

[@dipparoni]

The fact that he plays something new everyday is crazy

[@joelsimms4636]

Doesn't matter ES335 is still my favorite guitar!

[@HoosierRooster]

very tasty playing I hafta say.... that was so nice I want to buy the guitar...& I can't even play

[@localguy8]

Herb Wandrei just buy it and figure it out later by that time you could probably sell it for more money 🙏

[@rebel-yell9453]

Would have liked to hear it through that vintage Marshall there at the end of the couch!!
