I'll say it again: I wish you guys would give a lot more love to Gretsch guitars!
Big ups to Jens filming and how clear we can see what mikes doing, its a great learning resource
That thing is basically a Tarantino movie with six strings.
I love a good Gretsch. Nice playing bro. Chet Atkins would approve I'm sure.
Doesn't get much better than this. Beautiful guitar!
Gotta be careful cranking up the polepiece magnets on those DeArmonds…they’re pretty strong and can yank on the strings, killing sustain. This is why Chet Atkins didn’t like ‘em. He wanted to raise the magnets for a better signal-to-noise ratio (less hum) but couldn’t without deadening the guitar. Thus the Filter’Trons in 1958!
Really worked for Duane Eddy on his 57.
Do a guitar of the day for that 1964 Duane Eddy Guild you all have.
Josh Elliott Love the old Guilds.. I have a factory special custom order '66 Starfire V, blonde maple, Bigsby delete, Hagstum floating bridge. Had it since '67... will have till I leave this earth.
If you've landed here, and don't know who Chet Atkins is, now's the time to go find out!
Anyone who plays guitar and watches this channel knows who Chet Atkins is. He is hardly a unsung hero
@@cody8804 You never know, new people are discovering guitar all the time, or they might be in a different country.
w13rdguy
& then they can find out who Eddie Cochran is. 🎼🎸
w13rdguy that's a good point,but because of who Chet was and what he meant to guitar nation I'm pretty sure most have heard of him.But I'm sure not everyone.Theres a young kid in Eastern Europe by the name of Frano who has some videos out there .He definitely knows who Chet was.You might know of him,but if not,his video of him playing a Chet medley is quite special
You're damn right!
Just went to iTunes and bought "Lemmo Demo" - what a great album!
My favorite things about old Gretsch guitars are the colors and the necks.
Pretty sure Mr. Lemmo could play a broomstick with yarn & rock it hard....
Love the ending thanks Jen for keeping that in their
That Gretsch burnt orange is a classic finish for sure. Nothing else like that, very original....
You can expect a call from Brian Setzer tomorrow.
You should have done some surf music, Michael.
Absolutely, more amazing than usual, song choice and delivery.
What a beauty. Yes please.
4:06 unexpected and hilarious
My fucking dream. I love this finish on the Tennesseans
This is great. This was made the year i was born (both still working). I saw Ronnie Montrose in '84 and he played a Gretsch similar to this most of the night.
ha, 4 year old memory from '61, Chet Atkins "The Most Popular Guitar" Girl on the cover actually looked scary to me but loved the guitar.
Very nice guitar.
I'd JUST been about to say some of those little trills in the first tune were quite Frusciante-esque...
Maybe that's what he thought too and it influenced his second choice.
That first song made my ears moist

There ain't no cure for the summertime blues...
"Mahogany back & sides"... No I don't think so, maple plys. This one seems to have replacement tuners, pickguard and bigsby handle. Moreover, both pickups are reverse head-down...
Absolutely love this GotD! As a HUGE fan of Chet Atkins, I'm in!
Amazing it still looks like that after 62 years. I was wondering "what is he going to play on that" as you never really know.
Yes Guitar of the Day road trip! That last tune summertime blues? Awesome! Nice camera work Jen. Cheers and happy Thunder Moon!!!
What a beauty!!
Hilarious that he describes this guitar as having a “ sorta orange tint” .. that beauty is as orange as could be !!
Fun demo! Loved the different representations of sounds you got out of it!
Amazing.
Lovely Gretsch you got there! Beaut of a hollowbody! However! Gotta do a Maton!
I gotta say this fella is really startin to do it for me..AF
Jen giggles at Poles & Nuts
Michael, as always great job! Always liked that model of Gretch... Thank you so much
Keep up the sweet work!
Left out the S in Gretsch...
nice 1957 Gretsch!!
Nice guitar. Excellent playing!
Awsome song choice
Setzer's people are calling him now ..... should be a good commission Big Mike !
I was hopin he'd lay down some Rock This Town!
I’ve played that exact guitar at norms. So worn in - it’s the easiest guitar I’ve ever played. Like a warn in pair of shoes. Please learn some rockabilly mike :)
Fantastic smile opening!!!!
LOVE that Gretch!!!!!!!
( humble, says can't play Chet, I bet you can Mike!)
Ummm, Lemmo said a dirty word, but we enjoyed the picking, Michael quit worrying about when you messing up, we would have never known if you hadn't told on yourself, your only human right?
Love me a Gretsch ,nice job Lemmo ! Thanks Jen !
How could you do that.. without pluging into that Marshall.. and getting monster feedback fun..?
This is a great Bluesmans guitar, Nice fat Twin Reverb
"Not that Good yet" 2 mins later plays amazing jazz
Loved the tribute to Eddie Cochran at the end!
Lennon had one of these in 1966 and he later gave away to his cousin I believe
Lemmo, Sir, you are a pro!
Michael: You're big time now, young man. Clean your fingernails. Do NOT make me come down there! M'kay.
His fingernails are nasty as hell
I went down there in Person and I thought his fingernail polish was coming off but nah
They were just absolutely filthy lmao
Randy Bachman's guitar in Takin' Care of Business and some others... I know because he said it ; )
First impressions last forever. The very first "Country Gentlemen" that I ever picked up was set up for crap, intonation was w a y off and it had to be re-tuned every 10 bars or so. I've never owned one, I still don't own one and probably never will.
God Bless Leo Fender.
Best guitars made
Classic ✌️
Bruuuhh...your fingernails 🙈😂 Jen should've caught that as she was filming. Go wash them immediately, young man!
stills and young played a lot of lead guitar with those gretschs
shoulda done some stray cats... fantastic guitar
Eddie Cochran would be proud!🎸😏
Well mike, I guess sometimes the guitar will tell you how it wants to be played!! Very appropriate
you made that 57 muddy may be the mic I use a blue tooth and its crystal clear .
The Poison Ivy guitar.
Thats so odd, arent the pickups backwards? Like the adjustment screws usually face toward eachother on d'armond pickups. It doesnt make a difference since both are swapped around but still.
Sweet Guitar and as always great playing Mike!
Is that the Filtertron pickups, too?
Lemmo, what’s your blood thc level?
Justin Musica 1:1
@@EmptyDomoKanti99 He’d be green.
willie nelson
And with such clear white eyes too? How’s he do it?
That major chord in otherside :O
Lemmo's not good enough to play Chet Atkins? Gimme a break.
hes not Lemmo is a creative cat...Chet is the greatest of all time
You are your own worst enemy
Probably meant Chet songs were too difficult to learn on the fly today for the video (he was partying last night remember). Chet's picking technique is pretty tricky even for a player at Lemmo's level, so he would need to put in some proper practice.
Also, Chet wasn't good enough to play Lemmo.
Chet is on another level, sorry. So he was quite right saying it. With a lot of effort he might be able to copy him :-)
Great vid!
Was lemmo digging holes with his hands before this one?
Jen gave him the hook there at the end
Link Wray
I'm pretty sure that Otherside verse ends with A minor..
Thank you for another fantastic video, Mr. Lemmo!
Do you have to be a super guitar player? I am near 2 years playing and only by myself so been tough but any chance for noobs in the contest? And today?
I've played some of the modern ones but never a vintage 6120. The newer ones necks felt really wide. Was this one similar? Thanks for having a go at something all new! (rock that Mario)
What was the song he played
Why was the top E string not in the saddle on the bridge?
No Duane Eddy, Chet Atkins?
A Thoro(ly)good guitar to play until you get the Cramps.
No one could ever badmouth Chet Atkins he was the master. Someday people will be calling Mike Lemmo the master
Wow Man!😰🚬
Why not crank up the distortion?
Is the twang extra or is it included in the deal?
Rad
Let someone else do the Gretsch's
Oh are those F holes real? So used to the painted on ones
So I tried my hardest to enter the great guitar giveaway but it wouldnt work out my video. Dreams shattered. I have to hang my head low in defeat. Hi Jen!
10:03 Eddie Cochran does handsprings in his grave
8:49
What is that first track?
Thanks for the John Frusciante licks....(#2)
Learn a couple Duane Eddy songs for this guitar.
Yeah do a guitar of the day for that 1964 Duane Eddy Guild you all have.
👍
cool guitar , it's orange , I luv it. pretty unique sound out of those Gretsch guitars , and call me crazy but I'd say Lemmo is a tad better than Chet Atkins , in fact that first song sounded very Chetish , but Lemmo just has better chops over all. Anyway great Gretsch , seems a bit smaller than a typical one , which is nice because I find the normal ones a bit too big , and this one is orange , how cool is that? thanks guys.
You're crazy.
What kind of wizard is this?
Knew it had to be in there somewhere. It’s an unwritten law that when you pick up a hollow body Gretsch you must play Summertime Blues. What a wonderful unwritten law it is 😁👍
Don't forget the nut. LOL What is the girls name that always does the Guitar of the Day?
I don't care how many commentors "pooh, pooh" this guitar for being "Ugly". It's the sound that makes this guitar, and let's face it, back in 1957 Television programs, without a picture were called the same thing they are today, a "radio program" so you didn't have to worry about how bad the guitar looked, I guess. Now, aside from the looks, which to me are beautiful, the tone has that unique blend of country and rock & roll twang, I guess there is a reason why brilliant players of the era chose the Gretsch to showcase their abilities. As always a great kicking off point to the week by Mr. Lemmo and the vivacious Jen!!
Couldn't have said it any better!
