    Wow Lemmo.....Dave Brubeck!
    You did him justice. Though I've been a long time Subscriber from way back I haven't been able to watch in recent years any of the episodes due to those 12 - 15 sec.
    Adds and commercials, but this
    didn't have them....SWEEEET!
    HI lovely Jen, anyway's Lemmo
    you sound Great! 🎸💚

    If a Gretsch is wacky,, let there be three Wednesdays a week.
    "Take Five" was very cool! A great new addition to the repertoire of Lemmo Demo Gems. And it can only get better, as the Wednesdays roll through.

    Has this guy found an old guitar yet that didn't sound good when he played it? His superpower is bringing out the best tones in those old instruments. I've seriously never watched one of these and wasn't impressed.

    I hate to nit pick because Lemmo is great but, I think the tune is supposed to be in 5/4.

    • @benjamingilmore825
      @benjamingilmore825 2 роки тому

    Love everything Lemmo and I watch almost every day! I have to agree with some other comments…the whole point of “Take Five” is a weird 5/4 time signature and I think you were doing 6 (or 3) beats per measure. Don’t take this as criticism, just a music theory tip from a big fan!!!

    I doubt anybody watching this video is less surprised than I am that Mike included that sweet rendition of "And I Love Her". On the other hand, I've got a copy of The Beatles Gearbook and am aware that John played the equal of this model during The Beatles' Revolve recessions.

    Awesome video! Reminds me of my White Falcon I had years ago. Unfortunately, I had to sell it but it was definitely a beautiful guitar! Gretsch guitars just have that awesome mystique about them. I’ve been following the channel for a few years now and I’ve found so many great musicians thanks to this great channel!

  • @damonhines8187
    @damonhines8187 2 роки тому

    Sweet! Loved 'Take Five' and 'And I Love Her' too. Been dreaming increasingly of Gretsch since someone suggested near a quarter century back that this Strat-ish player should give them a thought. Loved George Harrison's stuff on 'em back in early days, Townshend circa WGFA, if that was one, as I've heard...I think the one EC played on Bangla-Desh was that one, gifted by Pete. Brian Setzer with Stray Cats and beyond. Chet. Cool af.

    Well played and with a bit of the Beatles in the mix, you can't go wrong.

    Thanks Michael. You just stirred so many memories of my childhood. I began playing at 8. When I was 13 years old my grand father took me to Coast Music in Costa Mesa.(where I grew up) For my birthday gift he bought me a Ventura black beauty Les Paul. To say I was blown away is an under statement. When we got home the first song I began learning was, "and I love her". I can still see my childhood bedroom, turn table and Beatles records. I would borrow little combo amps from friends to plug into. Btw. That was 1962. I'm now 63 years old. Still living in SoCal, but now I have a collection of Gibson Les Pauls. However. I miss that Ventura Les Paul. I sold it for $100.00 so I could buy my first Gibson Les paul deluxe 75 from Sightsinger music.
    Cheers!

    Great music choices on this video, though the middle one had a bit of a suburban motor hotel cocktail lounge vibe to it. I'm more partial to the look of the Gibson/Epiphone double cuts but that Gretsch is sweet as well, especially in that colour. Greetings from the Canadian prairies where the snow is finally starting to melt.

    @shazam6274 2 роки тому +9

    When Playing Chet, it helps to play the tune a little slower, that way you're not trying to "keep-up / catch-up". Glad you played these and are expanding your repertoire. After you "get" Chet, try a little Jerry Reed! 😲
