I am going to be 70 in June and I am still rocking out! When the Beatles came on Ed Sullivan in 1964, I was 14. I told my father I had to get a guitar and he said OK, but I had to take lessons. We went to Duke Spinners, the local music store in my Rochester, NY neighborhood. I bought a guitar and started taking lessons. The teacher was a few years older than me and taught me Elvis & Buddy Holly songs. I wanted to learn Beatle songs so as soon as I learned chords I quit my lessons and got in a band. I have been playing ever since and The Beatles still rock!

Lemmo is literally the only reason I’ve continued watching Norman’s rare guitars for a while now and to know he’s doing gotd is amazing. Literally the best guitarist that comes into that store. The collabs he does with Henny are some of the best modern music out there right now IMO
@@mrtambourineman6107 The thing that anooys(ed) me about Mark was his attitude that everything was a beat down or old news or he was too tired about it. Just his vibe always gave me annoyance. Lemmo is just happy
He made me want that guitar, so he's doing his job. It also made me reach for my guitar, which is an added bonus. Good guitar videos have that effect on me.
I went 40 years of playing professionally without knowing that I needed a Jazzmaster. A buddy left his at my studio for a week, and curiosity got the best of me. I tried dodging his calls, and pretended I wasn't around when he stopped by. Finally, he caught up with me, and I tried to convince him to either sell or make a trade for his guitar. He wouldn't let it go. Next day I was calling a few stores that I knew would either have a solid used one for sale, or could get me one quickly. 3 days later I made a deal. The next week I had a new guitar in my guitarsenal. It has a voice that's all it's own, yet is as versatile as any guitar I own, even my Howard Roberts Fusion with a Freeway switch, and 4 push-pull pots on it. While a have a guitar, (or two) for every purpose that I can imagine, the first one that I reach for when I'm not sure what I want, is the Jazzmaster. While I think that Leo totally missed on the name, he hit it out of the park with the design.
Holy shit, what did I just watch? I feel like I should've paid admission. Seriously, you owned that guitar. You're an alien...in the best way possible :)
Yep, it started off beautiful and I thought Wow! Then Reckoner was Oh yes, this is it. But that last track I couldn’t believe what I was seeing and hearing! Norm should just give him that guitar. He’s going to shift a lot of guitars with this playing. GOTD is now a must watch, not just for the guitar but also the playing. Thanks Lemmo.
Man, I really like Mark. But as a 22 year old I was soooo happy to see Lemmo play “Reckoner” on that neck position! Music that speaks to me :) great job Lemmo!
Wow, Lemmo killed it. It's great to see someone so good and who knows their way around a Jazzmaster. The other guy would have remarked how they're for hipsters, and how he doesn't like them, then he would have played like an 8th grader in Guitar Center.
Loved Michael from the very first time he was on the show, (1) He can play the most smooth beautiful melodies, originals included that he truly feels deep down inside (2) He is always smiling and an up beat positive human .... great to watch / listen to.
UkeliDokeli dude I’m blown away. I find myself watching just to watch and listen to him play. I forgot the guitar was the true feature of the video lol
Been watching this show for the past few years. Feels like I’m rediscovering it all over again. Major props to Lemmo for bringing new life to the series
Mike, I definitely think you were the right one to carry on Guitar of the Day after Mark! Another great job! I feel just as interested and excited for the new episodes. Thank you and great job playing!
Lemmo is going to show us a lot of creativity: Different sounds, amps, pedals, styles, and tricks. Mark gave us the sound of each guitar unfiltered. I really like where this ship is heading!
That was absolutely awesome! I must admit I feared that Guitar Of The Day would fizzle out following Mark's departure, but it really looks to be in totally safe hands with Michael and the rest of the team. Superb playing and great fresh choices of music - the show promises to continue to be essential viewing as it enters a new era. Great job Michael!
So glad you took off the jacket to play!! No scratching up the back of that sweet jazzmaster! Killer playing, I think you just made this show your own!
Classic rock songs are great and all, but as a millennial I’m mesmerized by his unique playing and song choices... really gonna carry this show forward, just like he described what the jazz master did for his playing
You deserve all the praise you are getting. You came into a tough situation because we all love Mark but you are doing a great job so far. Congrats sir.
Beyond the amazing playing and beautiful guitar, knowing the players personal connection to the guitar makes it so much more engaging and enjoyable. You rock, man.
Talk about an artist displaying his own diversity and the guitars diversity at the sametime. Love it. I do not play an instrument but damn this makes me want to!
Mr. Lemmo just so you know we are all here for guitar of the day not for case of the day so you know and also you can really play very well and love the way you like to do the tricks which a lot of people have never been taught !! Awesome LEMMOSTRATION on this 2nd day !! Rock on !! Jen byeeeeee !
Maaaaaaaan weird ass Wednesday just became my favorite day. Cant wait to see more of of that out of this world sound you bring out of those jazzmasters.
Holy SMOKES!!! Lemmo, you knocked it outta the park with the demo today!! I’ve always pondered getting a jazzmaster and now I’m sold! I’m definitely making my next buy a jazzmaster 😵🎸🔥 ..... on another note: keep being you, you’re doing fantastic! While Mark was great covering the usual classics, you’re great at more modern and progressive stuff! And don’t worry bout the case, we only come to see and hear the guitar! 😂👍🏼
The thing that got me into watching guitar of the day was the constant exposure to songs, which inspired me to tackle new things, but this episode was excellent as a lesson in technique and the qualities of the Jazzmaster. Really enjoyed that, cheers!
I see you come from the "Take the jacket off" school of guitar playing (unlike Mark) ;) Loving the demos Lemmo, happy to have you (and the hipster guitars hehe).
Michael Lemmo, thanking you for keeping GOTD going. I really appreciate the fact that you are making it your own and playing some stuff that Mark probably wouldn't have done. He was great and we miss him, but good for you for taking this to a different place and owning it.
You know what really comes across is that he cares about what he plays, it’s not superficial or showing off at all, it’s genuine class. Great job young Lemmo!
and that ladies and gentlemen is what you call a smooth takeover
Amen Liam
indeed brother, agreed.
Proper transfer of power
It was smooth, wasn’t it?👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Mark who????
Set list:
1. Claude Debussy - Claire De Lune
2. Radiohead - Reckoner
3. The Smiths - Barbarism Begins At Home
4. Lemmo - Angel
Thanks man
That Smiths cover is nuts. He does a fantastic job of capturing the Marr feeling.
@@cstimko It's wicked how he makes that guitar sing.
Christopher Timko I like Lemmo but that cover he kinda botched. Maybe it’s difficult to play sans Capo but it sounded pretty off at times.
@@Deadmemedream I have no doubt there. A lot of Marr's stuff is played capo'd.
You do the jazz master right after mark leaves 😂😂
No more condescending attitude, and inevitable utterance of the “H” word, I love it! 😁👍
Funny but Mike probably would have scared Mark here.
yeah I don't the "offset phobia" lol
plus the 70s teles mark liked are way wierder than the offsets lol
Go Lemmo Go! 🔊😲

I'm old enough to remember when Mark was the host
Was that before or after MTV stopped playing music videos.
Seems like a while back now
Shit that was about the same time as when having hair that went over your ears was a cardinal sin.
Jon Wilson me too
Get back to the Village old boy
Wow! That is how you play a Jazzmaster. Nice Job Lemmo. The only problem is, I never wanted a Jazzmaster and now I NEED a Jazzmaster. Thanks for that.
Lemmo is the kind of player the Jazzmaster was designed for. Props.
for sure.
Not really, players like lemmo get a lot out of them. But as the name suggests it was designed for jazz musicians.
Agreed.
The Offset Era of GOTD begins!
That last song was one of the best performances ever on this channel.
38Noles for sure I’ve come back to watch it again several times
@@schmoo3407 me too
Agreed, with Lemmo's playing ...but, the beginning of the offset era especially!
"I'm a big fan of the off-sets"
Well... that's something I thought I'd never hear on GOTD hahaha
AHAHAHAHAHA
Pelo username suponho que seja br

There wasn't a smoother way to put that in words. Lemmo is gonna be a Clapton one day. Just a God

I SECOND THIS SO MUCH
I geeked when he started playing Radiohead, and a great song of theirs, too! That seriously made my day.
If he ends up playing Swerve Driver, My Bloody Valentine, or a band like Dinosaur Jr I'm going to flip.
Omg yes ! This song haunts me since i've heard it for the first time, and hearing it on GOTD really made me like Lemmo a lot more :D
MMAwizard 96 WE NEED SOME SHOEGAZE!
Killin it with these set lists!
Somehow I knew we were going to start seeing more videos of Jazzmasters and Jaguars
Yes, and finally by someone who actually appreciates them. Thanks Gibson! 😉
Its glorious!!
I'm all in, man. Colorful Ventures in '61 to my Squire Jagmaster i'd use for RF jams.
I hope for some more mustangs or jagstangs
Jaden Pisarczyk what drugs you on cause I don’t want them 😂
Wow, Lemmo killed it. It's great to see someone so good and who knows their way around a Jazzmaster. The other guy would have remarked how they're for hipsters, and how he doesn't like them, then he would have played like an 8th grader in Guitar Center.
All EQs at noon, reverb d r i p p i n g
What no eqs at noon and no reverb? Other than that doing fine just relax and have fun with it.
The songs totally demanded it! Awesome vibe!
Am I the only one who keeps rewatching this video and yesterday's one ? Maaan i'll never get tired of Mike's playing...
Yes you are.
I rewatch it super often. The last song is killer
You're not the only one man. It's my 10th time I guess 😂😂
Lots of love for Mark but you got to admit that Lemmo is a mindblowing player, keep up the good work my friend!
Yes. He is def on another level with his playing ability!
First Jeff Buckley, now Radiohead. I'm in love with the turn this show took.
BoBo same here!
Agreed
Agreed!
Already finding your own voice! Brilliant!
Loved Michael from the very first time he was on the show, (1) He can play the most smooth beautiful melodies, originals included that he truly feels deep down inside (2) He is always smiling and an up beat positive human .... great to watch / listen to.
It really was a great choice to let Lemmo do GOTD... We all know him and love his playing

Been watching this show for the past few years. Feels like I’m rediscovering it all over again. Major props to Lemmo for bringing new life to the series
Couldn't have found a better replacement for Mark! You being the new guy and asking "Is that okay?" at the beginning was quite endearing.
Where did mark go?
Heath Thompson pretty sure he just moved jobs. You can watch his last episode from a few days ago
Robertson well that sucks but that's life. Thanks for the reply
@@heaththompson3834 took a job with Gibson! Apparently it was one he just couldn't refuse. He left on good terms though.

Played with feeling. The music is in him. Don't ever leave. Fab. playing.
Holy shit!!! That last jam. I had chills through the whole thing! Love the wild sounds, keep it up!
What is it called ? Do you know ? I can't find it in the comments, maybe it's Lemmo's original stuff
It’s called angel from his album lemmo demo
@@MegaCherokee16 Thank you so much ! Do you know about the third song, by any chance ?
Same here, i literally had chills, that was awesome!!
Dunno that one sorry
Honestly....that was nuts. First time I've ever seen a Jazzmaster fully rocking. I'm already convinced guitar of the day will be in good hands
He took his jacket off before playing!! Thank you Mike!!
@notbenny. No More putting $5,000 scratches into $50,000 guitars!
Two shows in and I’m sold on this guy. What an amazing guitar player.
Lemmo is going to show us a lot of creativity: Different sounds, amps, pedals, styles, and tricks. Mark gave us the sound of each guitar unfiltered. I really like where this ship is heading!
And that's why it was called Guitar of the Day.
Personally I’m loving it but I expect he’ll get some backlash from all those “let me just hear the guitar” people
Which I understand to some degree. Hate demo videos that drown the guitar in shredding distortion
That was absolutely awesome! I must admit I feared that Guitar Of The Day would fizzle out following Mark's departure, but it really looks to be in totally safe hands with Michael and the rest of the team. Superb playing and great fresh choices of music - the show promises to continue to be essential viewing as it enters a new era. Great job Michael!
Episode 2 by Mr Lemmo and he’s already making his own impact. I’m impressed. Lots of cool inspiring info Keep up the great work
You got this kid! Two days in a row too! Just relax a little more and have fun, Mark picked the right guy!
Never expected hearing some Debussy here. Nice choice!
Yeah Michael!!!!!!! Keep on' Rockin' Bruddah!! See you soon; You got this!!!!!!
Thinline Tele and a Jazzmaster the day after?! Loving the guitars and your work. Keep it up.
That last lick was just.....*AMAZING*.
Offset guitars and something other than Rolling Stones...👍🏼👍🏼
JL Sagely exactly!!!!!!!
No more 45 year old keith groupies?
I'm so excited for the first tele custom that comes through so we can hear something other than three Stones on it.

Rolling stone is your papa!
The stones bool dude stop hating
So glad you took off the jacket to play!! No scratching up the back of that sweet jazzmaster! Killer playing, I think you just made this show your own!
"Is that cool?" the veil lifts, Jen is always the master of GOTD!
LEMMO YOU'RE DOIN' GREAT BUD
I thought that was cute, he wanted her seal of approval
Hey man your filling it up with YOU !! Refreshing ,I’m listening keep it going

I used to watch for the guitars. I think now I'm gonna be watching for the guitar playing. Best host yet. And humble.
Magnificent. I could listen to him play all day.
Claire de Lune by Claude Debussy is the first piece on the rhythm circuit. Michael needs to do a lesson on it!
oh my god yu dont know how much im loving the version on this video

So happy for you lemmo! This has been the best guitar of the day yet....ever!! You now own this show....man!! This is the level, the next level!!
Lemmo is so at home with the Jazzmaster, really suits him. Great playing!
Probably my favorite episode for the playing!!! EXCELLENT!!!
WOW -maybe one of the coolest riffs ever to close out this demo - Great job MAJIC MIKE!
2 of 2 - PURE ENTERTAINMENT! Keep going, Lemmo, you're on a fly!
I fucking love this new style of video. More playing, more versatile song choices, and Lemmo is just an awesome dude. Never stop :D
Best jazzmaster presentation ever, you rock Michael Lemmo
It's really nice to see the support from this community for this cool gentlemen. Lemmo you're the man
Found the most positive comments section on TH-cam. Only took a little over a decade, but it's finally here. Good stuff Lemmo

Talent just drips off this guy, I am not aware of what you can do with a jazzmaster but boy do you know how to play one. Super good job
Amazing host, amazing playing, amazing guitar! Wow I am blown away this episode
I bet Jen’s jaw drops watching Lemmo play! He surprises every vid. Now I want a Jazzmaster!
Great job! Add some more facts about the guitar itself, some history... you know, minute detail type of stuff! Sweet playin though!
This show is still in great hands. Fantastic unique player and a genuinely funny dude.
Lemmo is awesome at this. He's such an inspiring guitar player and a really engaging character. GOTD is in safe and very groovy hands.
this guy is a gem of a musician
That was an amazing range of sounds you got out of that guitar. From sweet to crunchy and everything in between. Loved every second of it.
Dude!!!! After a few nerves on day one you knock it out of the park on day 2!!! Love love love!!!!
