My dear friend Morgan had this guitar and I learned to play on it. He was moving back to Kansas and his car caught on fire burning all his earthly possessions including his Hummingbird. Fast forward 37 years. Morgan has passed away. I walked into Guitar Center with my Grandson and they put this guitar on the floor. The guy didn't even get it into the cradle. I bought it as soon as I saw it. Such memories it brings back. I also lost a very good friend today. I think Alex and God made this possible? Thank you for this video and what a fantastic sound you were able to coax out of that Hummingbird. My condolences to the family. Please stay safe everyone. God Bless
Norm I love how genuine you are you can tell you actually care about people not only do you have amazing guitars great staff Michael lemmo and Jen love you guys what's another of people like you in this world gives me hope for Humanity keep up the good work
@@jbspring I would put your e-mail under notified me when available. They get orders regularly from Gibson as they sell a lot of Hummingbirds.... Good Luck!
As a proud owner of a 2019 Hummingbird (cherry finish) I really appreciate what Michael does with that guitar. Even with super great speakers on you computer, the sound, when its in your hands, or an artist's hands like Michael, is so good you never want to put it down. Acoustic or amplified it's a sweet instrument. In my experience the sound will only improve. If it's played daily, in six months time it will have more depth and a richer and warmer tone and continue to improve.
That is one beautiful instrument, both in sound and in looks. My dream guitar is a Hummingbird in any color. One day, I will own one. Thanks for the wonderful video.
@@soofitnsexy they have a pretty cool publicity vid on YT . they have had some sorry experiences . but we all hope for Gibson to pull it together and begin to shine . I like the Southern Jumbo . but this one too . I only have a Martin currently . maybe someday that will change .
Nice offering, Mike. Loved The Beatles bit. My condolences to Tod. Lost my Dad in '05. Hurt but took a few weeks to hit me (band reunion, up coming bar gig...ill health). When it did, it hit hard. There were always guitars around the house growing up. Heck, i got two for Christmas ! On a positive note, saw The Scene Gibson vid with Mark and Norm. ha, Norm even dressed up :) Glad Gibson's 'in the house' again !
Fantastic sound , especially acoustic , big fat bottom and bright high end , still great sound thru that pick up , and I love her , very well done , beautiful playing MIchael , I always luved the Hummingbird , and gibson has reproduced a classic beautifully , thanks guys.
5:00 i have never played or seen a guitar in person before today, I truly loved the melody u played at 5:00- 5:40 could i ask if you have a recording of it please?
Happy with my 2020 new gibson also. It also has a pickup. Struck out for my first acoustic. Nice work by the Chord master, and at least with the lockdown we can focus on our playing for awhile.
TODD! I know you are reading these, our condolences from the Sombrero's. Very sorry to hear about it and sometimes you got to be a bear to get through this life.
The best part of this electro-acoustic is the beautifully mellowed (aged ?) mahogany that has been used; a lovely lemony tone. The guitar sounds phenomenal, more like an eagle, not a colibri... Todd, I lost my father a long time ago, but can truely relate to the sadness that now must be in your life. "My condolences" sounds kinda hollow, so I feel for you, mate, and keep you & your family in my thoughts.
I wish people would realise we definitely WILL have to face viruses again...and again...and again...the answer lies in how our species deals with it together as as a species. Viruses are a fact of life, as are vaccines and scientists. We just gotta stop hating one another and proceed forward with love. I believe music has a key part to play in this. Peace and love guys. Nothing more, nothing less.
So sorry to hear about Todd’s father it was a good man on your channel I hope you guys have a Christmas party this year and get everybody together would love to see that video and Michael you keep on rockin brother👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Wow! What was the first song that was being played? Oh and the second? Heck we need a list of the songs that are being played Lemmo!! Amazing playing. The Beatles songs are known by all no doubt 🤣
Are they still calling these VOS or are they making two models? Condolences to Todd and his family. These days are marked with daily loss. We cannot get immured to caring and loss. That sounded great. The cynic in me thinks Mark is sending Normans some sweetheart guitars. I’ve got 2014 J35 Collection that is a monster of a guitar. That sound Lemmo got out of it reminded me of M Ward latest lp release- he gets a wicked sound out of Gibson, some reverb and a smokey vocal, maybe an old echoplex. Check out his newest record ‘Migration Stories’ -beautiful performances and brilliant Gibson sounds. It’s great community you are shepherding -thank you Norm and crew. This is happening everywhere-I was sick as a dog for 10 days with last Saturday being the worst, -love, some TLC and an old guitar got me through. I found melodies I had never played and it comforted me like few sessions ever have.
Im really happy with the new lines of guitars from Gibson since the new management, the original series with 61' aesthetics as seen here on the hummingbird and the 50s and 60s standard les Pauls !
Does sound really good Michael, great Beatles cover! I think if I were going too spend that kind of cash I would go with the Dove! But, awesome and beautiful guitar none the less! Awesome video Michael, awesome video Jen! Can’t start the day without Guitar of the Day! Thank you all!
Outstanding playing. Got my eye on this guitar to compliment my HD 28in Ambertone. Only been playing for couple of years but addicted to learning. I have small hands so not the flexibility or knowledge of your chords. Is it a good strumming guitar? My style of music is UK. Oasis, Paul Weller Ocean Colour Scene and both the Gallagher stuff Long winded sorry. 🤗
My fav day ... Flat top Fri .... Beautiful guitar ............ Sry tho bout Todd's dad .. It has been a very diff yr indeed .. Lost my son just before all this covid crap started ... Jan of this yr he took his own life .. ........ ... .. . anyway Would love to play somthin like that one day but .... Might be outta plans ... It's beautiful tho regardless ..... Lookin forward to watchin u guys tmrw .... Thnk u norm for having such a wonderful store ...
First, Todd, condolences from your UK fans. Second, Hummingbird, I was lucky enough to pick one up, a 2010, for a good price. The sound is very special, pure Gibson.
Would like to see an Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Hummingbird Lemo Demo. And maybe even a comparison video of the New 2020 Gibson and the Epiphone Inspired by
Todd my condolences to your dad n my prayers will be for him 🙏🙏🙏
Can't have Lemmo nipping out, and much love to Tod and his family. I lost my aunt today as well.
Sending you and your family positive energy as well as condolences. Sad day for many I guess.
@@bikeluversusie2522 my condolences to you n your family 🙏🙏🙏
Your aunt was mentioned in this video?

Really beautiful playing. Great versions of Beatles tunes. I just bought a 2022 Gibson Hummingbird and it is AMAZING.

My dad also passed 3 years ago . I know how it feels sorry for your loss.. prayers to your family
I just got the exact Hummingbird model last month and it exceeds my expectations! I have wanted a Hummingbird for years... I LOVE it!

Norm, wherever Lemmo is on the payroll, raise it!!!!! He is the reason I stay so glued to this channel!!!!!!!
Also "It's Only Love" doesn't get the love it deserves. John, naked and afraid.
Absolutely incredible rendition of "It's Only Love." Really blew me away.
Agreed! Who’s the artist or band for this song?
@@blissfulhumanoid9536 The Beatles
Thanks. He played it differently, right?
My heart goes out to you Todd. I know the pain of losing your father. Never gets easy. Hang in there.
That is one beautiful instrument, both in sound and in looks. My dream guitar is a Hummingbird in any color. One day, I will own one. Thanks for the wonderful video.
Same. I'm saving for one now.
absolutely love it when lemmo plays acoustic. dude is crazy good
Condolences to Todd and his family🙏What a beautiful guitar and it sonded so good. Well played Lemmo👏
Sending my deepest condolences to Todd and his family. Sending you love and hugs. ✌💖
Oh what you did to those Beatles songs. Accurate words escape me. Just beautiful.
Mr. Lemmo - tell us more about the ‘60’s twin reverb, you seam to favor it and like to hear your thoughts
That thing was made in my home town! Nice work, Michael.
where is that!!
@@soofitnsexy bozeman montana, i think
@@shyankhan_ thanks!!
@@soofitnsexy they have a pretty cool publicity vid on YT . they have had some sorry experiences . but we all hope for Gibson to pull it together and begin to shine . I like the Southern Jumbo . but this one too . I only have a Martin currently . maybe someday that will change .
Everything lemmo plays is my favorite thing I’ve heard
"It's only Love" very well played. Beautiful actually. Thanks
Who is the original artist for this song? Beatles?
@@blissfulhumanoid9536 It's Only Love" is a song by the Beatles, written mostly by John Lennon and credited to Lennon-McCartney.
What are the names of the songs? Anyone knows? So cool. My condolences to Todd. :(
Never seen a brand new Hummingbird. Looks and sounds sweet! Nice playing too Mr. Lemmo.
I have a 2006. Named her Josie after my favorite dog when I was a kid. Love her so much.
Nice guitar and playing, thanks to Michael and Jenn. Love and thoughts to Tod. Take care.
André.

Condolences to Todd Dad He is resilient. Hope he comes back swinging again with more strength and wisdom
He was playing so dope...
Any idea what song was he playing from 4:05 to 4:53?
I want to learn it
Ever find it?
@@jacoboneil6450 never did.
Could you help me out mate?
Hey...do u know other songs he's playing?
Dude, it’s so cool. We have to find a way to get a tab for this. We should send it to every guitar teacher on RUclips. I want to play this so bad.
Edit: I’m working on a tab for it now. I have the main riff pretty much down.
Great playing as always, Geez that Hummingbird soars. insane sound
Your version of and I love her is beautiful, Michael
Happy with my 2020 new gibson also. It also has a pickup. Struck out for my first acoustic.
Nice work by the Chord master, and at least with the lockdown we can focus on our playing for awhile.
Don’t know if you’ll ever see this Tod but sending a supportive hug to you and the family. Wishing you strength and peace in the days to come.

One of your best acoustic demos so far
You guys should do the 12 string epiphone variant, it came out this year and it's limited edition
Tasty playing there dude! Beautiful bird as well..
Be strong todd we are here for u
You of my Favorite songs. Natural Born Guitar Ringer. Love to hear Michael play.
would love to play like this guy!
What a stunning guitar! After owning the J-45, this will be my next guitar!
Where was the first chord progression from? Need to know how much it will cost if I steal it 😂
My dream acoustic!
I hardly ever post here, but just wanted to say sorry for your loss, Todd.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. +++

I think you think from your ass....
I have f#cking goosebumps, not sure if it's from guitar or guitarist, it's both. Thanks for the video.
Very sweet Guitar 🎸

Sending love to Todd. Hope you get through this man.
Lovely Gibson acoustic! Such a beautiful sound! However! Gotta do a Maton!
Wow! What was the first song that was being played? Oh and the second? Heck we need a list of the songs that are being played Lemmo!! Amazing playing. The Beatles songs are known by all no doubt 🤣
Second one was "And I Love Her" from A Hard Day's Night
Great video! What is the name of that very first song? It sounded absolutely amazing! Is it a newer version of another song?
Of course, you had to to show (at 1:33) just how incredibly beautiful the 2020 Gibson Hummingbird actually is.
Condolences Todd from across the pond 🇬🇧🙏🇬🇧🙏
Beautiful playing Michael!
Great job on the Demo even when out of tune... You pulled it off Michael.
That’s a beautiful guitar! I would love to have one if only I could do it justice with my playing
Are they still calling these VOS or are they making two models?
Condolences to Todd and his family. These days are marked with daily loss. We cannot get immured to caring and loss.

Do you know what he played at 5:02?
I loved Todd. My condolences to Todd. Now Lemmo on the other hand - Fuhgettaboutit!
Outstanding playing. Got my eye on this guitar to compliment my HD 28in Ambertone. Only been playing for couple of years but addicted to learning. I have small hands so not the flexibility or knowledge of your chords.
Is it a good strumming guitar? My style of music is UK. Oasis, Paul Weller Ocean Colour Scene and both the Gallagher stuff
Long winded sorry. 🤗

Played it like you ment it love it
My Condolences For The Wisenbaker Family And Especially For You Todd Wisenbaker
Love the guitar, not the price tag
💰💰
It's an aspiration level instrument for sure. It reallyly is worth the price if you find a good one but they're proud of it for sure
If I had a nickel for everytime I heard that I could buy you one.
I own this and it’s worth every penny. Played martin’s that cost 2-3k more and didn’t have this sound.
First, Todd, condolences from your UK fans. Second, Hummingbird, I was lucky enough to pick one up, a 2010, for a good price. The sound is very special, pure Gibson.
it is Norm.....good words...love you too buddy...
Beautiful tone
I wish i had the knowledge of Michael on the guitar
Does anyone know what the second song is? Condolences to Todd and his family.
Ever find it?
How beautiful and prayers Todd🙏
Very good guitarist ...COOL
Susan is a saint!
Much love Todd ❤❤❤ your family too
Nice. Beatles. And I Love Her and It s Only Love
Acoustic sounds superb, but is a little odd with all that reverb.
What are the first two songs he’s playing?
Ever find them?
what amp are you using for the video?
Would like to see an Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Hummingbird Lemo Demo. And maybe even a comparison video of the New 2020 Gibson and the Epiphone Inspired by
