    Mr. Lemmo, would you kindly put names of the songs you've played in the discription?

  • @kellyc2425

    Can we all be honest here?
    Is Michael Lemmo THE most underrated guitarist WORLDWIDE, or what???
    My dude does it ALL! 👍🏻👍🏻

    Jen you do an extremely lovely job following the playing while also featuring the guitar and providing beauty shots (like the down the neck angle, and pull out from the strings), all while moving the before playing content along and speaking in GOTD, all, if not mostly all live to media in one take. So kudos to you, I don't think you get the appreciation you deserve because you do a hell of a lot that most people wouldn't get just viewing. Now, that's a really pretty Gibson and because it's a bonafide "Keef" guitar some lucky Stones fan will likely get this to add to their arsenal,...lucky pup!! See you tomorrow for Straturday!!

    A lot of people write off 70 birds saying they are over braced but I have 1970 HB like this one and it’s awesome. It’s a gorgeous playing and sounding guitar. I have a Baggs Anthem in mine and it’s a great live guitar. As Lemmo said not too precious to take to gigs and a cool vintage vibe!

    Norman sure knows his stuff when picking up the right gear, as this demo proves. A really excellent example of a working 70's Bird, great tone in this one, picking AND strumming.
    Lemmo getting the best out of it, well played sir.

    Hello Norm, I hope you see this.
    I'm actually confident that you in fact.....will
    Michael, Jen, and Joel? Together? GOTD? This needs to be a staple.
    I LOVE and will NOT MISS a single episode every week because of them. I love, hell, we all love Mark Agnesi, but this is different. Guitar of the day, slightly different, but on steroids, with verve, laughter, and information.
    Kudos on these 3 brilliant people. I'm In the process of buying one of your guitars from Reverb instead of Sweetwater's similar offering.
    Love it all, I tune in 5 days a week, Sunday and Monday are painful, but you folks need time off.
    But.......Just a suggestion....
    SilverTone Sundays- Where Guitar of the Day examines, explores and plays the late 60's early 70's Sears SilverTone / Danelectro type grade of Guitars and basses. It'd be Fab. Cheap ass case amps, even cheaper assed guitars and basses, that have their own unique 'single coil tone growl', and all of the conversation around that genre.
    Monday Monotones- Where a wide variety of electric, acoustic and other guitars are shown to demonstrate single identifiable riffs associated with those particular instruments.
    Example: Monte Norman's theme for James Bond, where Vic Flic plays the iconic 24 note theme on a Stratocaster. (yeah, lot's of us have seen 'photo's of that happening on Tele's, archtops, etc.) Recent footage shows it being recorded on a Strat, at least for the soundtrack. May not be the guitar on the original production.
    George Harrison's brief lead in Get Back, played on his rose wood tele........Stuff like that. Actual types of guitars/basses for particular passages in music. Brief, and to the point.
    Anyway, use yer Imagination Norm. We absolutely LOVE you folks.

  • @MrJacobThrall
    @MrJacobThrall 5 років тому

    Well, that was a weird experience. Launching into those Raitt chords sounded SO perfect that it felt like I'd had them in my head all day and had been singing them to myself during your intro. Like an incredible coincidence that you should choose the song in my head. It actually took me a few minutes to realise that it hadn't been in my head after all.
    That's how perfect it sounded.

  • @braderrick
    @braderrick 5 років тому +10

    lol I was thinking wow this pickup actually sounds pretty good. Then he says “now we’ll turn the pickup on” ... nope. Just can’t beat a mic on an acoustic though I know it’s not always an option.

    • @artamussumatra6286
      @artamussumatra6286 5 років тому

      If one or the other, than mic, but there’s also lots of great tones to be had using both together.

    • @braderrick
      @braderrick 5 років тому

      Artamus Sumatra pickups never seem to quite cut it for me, especially soundhole pickups. I like some of the K&K stuff pretty well but even they don’t compare to a mic.

    • @artamussumatra6286
      @artamussumatra6286 5 років тому

      braderrick If you want the real acoustic sound, nothing beats a microphone imho. I do also like sound hole pickups, because they have more of a hollow body electric sound.

    @MrErdner 5 років тому +2

    OK, I've heard different advice on this from different experts. I don't know who is correct, so if anyone can 'splain it to me, I'd appreciate it. One batch of experts say that when you have a magnetic soundhole pickup, you should use phosphor-bronze acoustic strings, but screw down the posts on the B and high E strings because the bronze makes the wound acoustic strings not pick up well. But the other experts say that if you have an acoustic with a soundhole pickup, then use electric guitar strings. That goes for guitars with an LR Baggs like this one, or a Fishman, or any other add-on, as well as guitars like the ES-160E or the Epiphones with the nanomag at the base of the neck. I use electric strings on my electrified acoustic. The guy in my band who plays a Breedlove with a soundhole pickup uses acoustic strings. I can't tell much difference. Any expert guidance out there?

    • @Iamthewalrus628
      @Iamthewalrus628 5 років тому +2
