40 years playing, and this is honestly the first time I ever saw an artist play and thought I was hearing pedal/amp effects - then found out it was just the player. Astoundingly good performance. Holy shit, Michael. 😲
As an owner I can confirm this guitar is an absolute gem, and I've been told by many players its one of, if not the most fun guitar they have ever played
@@JoseVega-ox3qh Bro you can adjust them in a couple of ways. I just adjusted mine. 1. You can adjust the Neck turning the screw on the neck clockwise 2. You can grind the lower bridge (be careful not too much) 3. You can grind the Nut on the upper side of the neck 4. you can also adjust the whole neck, by unscrewing it and putting something under it and the guitar body. It just takes a long time to adjust it, but hey it's yours, you can modify it as much as you want
i dropped the neck angle with a slight shim and filed the bridge - its pretty good. but it seems the bridge is too far forward -so it goes sharp. why is the bridge in the wrong spot ? China ? mfg defect ? it sounds ok but its not perfect maybe 20-30 cents past the 12th fret. arghhh - should i move /reslot the saddle or relocate the whole bridge ?
Haven't seen any other comment that Michael is playing his own composition here - Through The Night. Amazingly talented guitarist! (2023 edit - seems to have been reworked a bit as "Closing time at Norm's" and released on his 2022 album "Blue Comet").
Gordy N he's a very good player and that's a great amp, those are pretty cheap guitars and quality control can be an issue. They are fun guitars to play though if you find a good one.
That guitar emphasizes the high end. If you're with a band where the bass and rhythm guitars are taking up the bass and some of the mid, this Sratacoustic could add sheen on the higher end, which could be quite effective. As a solo instrument it could be thin sounding.
Steve X Huh? I’m saying it’s wishful thinking because with today’s vapid music scene someone as talented and unique as Lemmo has almost no chance of becoming a Clapton or Hendrix. It’s all garbage mumble rap or pop crap.
you are the second person i see playing this guitar beautifully!! I have the one without the built in tuner, but still have the classic 4 fishman pick up and EQ. I got mine for about $200 from GC when it first show case
One word I can think to describe Mike's playing... Seasoned. He is a seasoned guitar player. I heard Dave Grohl say this about bass while joking with Pat Smear, "the bass is like bread. Bread has gluten" and so on. Michael's guitar playing, got the gluten as well. He's got the flavor
very cool demo Lemmo , never seen , or heard of , a stratacoustic before but I luv it , great look , great sound , seems kinda like one of those ovation round backs only better. I could listen to Lemmo play all day.

MattyK USA our man lemmo sure got them TFs
Shit so did I until I saw your comment then realised he wasn't! Damn
I believe he's using a slight delay on the amp settings, but damn he can play. Wouldn't sound good on a Martin .
Me the same, I thought from the first sounds it was 8th dotted delay but it's just great player😳
I thought there was a loop pedal involved!
Fender should be happy with that demo.
I think he’ll be waiting for his check from fender 😂
Was looking for the delay pedal. Nope, just lemmo shredding!
Ha what pedal bro? There ain't none!
@@8chk92 keep talking you fucking try hard.

Okay Fender Lemmo Signature series Stratacoustic.
Its Crazy the Acoustasonic Jazzmaster came out today and Lemmo was a demo guy for Fender😂
Lemmo is the player at Norms hands down. Destined for glory.
Lemmo makes me want to practice and quit playing guitar at the same time.
i came for the guitar and stayed for the playing.
Yes, what Franck said!!!
I have never in my life even considered buying one of these stratacoustics.... Untill now... I'll take that one!
Lemmo could sell a string on a two by four. Crazy riff this episode
I’ve listened to this about 15 times. All I can say is this is inspired! So well done!! You’re a gifted musician !
Lemmo's playing is almost hypnotic
As an owner I can confirm this guitar is an absolute gem, and I've been told by many players its one of, if not the most fun guitar they have ever played
I have the same guitar but is me or the strings are seing to be little too high from the fret board

I don't know what's more sick, the guitar or this dude skills
Hideki Odo the dudes skills forsure.
defs not the guitar lol
I long for the day where Lemmo puts out albums with just shit like this on it
Couldnt agree more!! ;D
5 years later and this is still my favorite demo of Lemmo’s
That is honestly some of the most relaxing guitar playing I have ever heard

You know where I can find it?
Thank u ! Was looking for where this was from its godly
Yes where can we find it
@@dae626.4here is a cool NRG podcast where he opens with that piece 🎸👌🏻

Dude i can listen to you play like that all day long awesome stuff
One of the nicest sounds I've ever heard, that thing is gorgeous.
Gordy N he's a very good player and that's a great amp, those are pretty cheap guitars and quality control can be an issue. They are fun guitars to play though if you find a good one.
Wow! Thats was some rad playing.. jaw is still on the floor.
Always look forward to Michael's playing. So smooth...(:
This is SOooooooo beautiful....like falling down into heaven recalling all the joys of earth
That was such an amazing song! Did you write it? Is there a recording I can listen to?!
Damn lemmo . You make me realize how bad at guitar I am.
Sick dude your sick
Come home after work and the first thing I see is Lemmo has a demo. Things are looking up. Beautifully done.
It only sounds that way because you're playing it...
if I played it would sound like a cheap acoustic.
Maybe, but, your Avatar/Icon is Fantastic !
He’s quite good isn’t he ?
I had one in the '90s when the first ones came out...and it sounded like a cheap acoustic

Never heard anything close to that being played, I'm beyond amazed. Great work
Welcome back Lemmo. Your playing is mesmerising. Love it.
What an incredibly talented rhythm player! You got them chops Lemmo.
Very cool!! Wow you can tell that you’ve been out on the road playing every night. Flowing like liquid
That was really astonishing. I had to watch it a second time to make sure that I didn’t imagine the whole thing. Kudos Michael!
Sometimes I just stop by this video to remind myself that I need to try harder.
This is remarkable. Like a dream or something. Thank you, Michael.
Amazing sound! Never heard a Stratacoustic sound like that they are usually tinny sounding. I am impressed!!!
Always Lemazing! Coming through in the clutch. Definitely been missing some Lemmo demos!
Some of the best playing I’ve ever heard, wow...
Very unique licks Mike, sounds great, definitely out of the box playing.
That’s the BEST thing I’ve ever seen or heard. Beautiful job!
Wow cool guitar and awesome playing.
Great poise and concentration in your delivery and execution, Michael. This had a Monte Montgomery (the breakdown in When Will I) type flavour. Bravo.
do a lesson man those pulloffs are insane..i need tabs!
you can see his fingers and even put the video on slowmode
Amazing playing. Truly awesome.
The song he played is honestly one of the cooler things I’ve ever seen on guitar
CREATIVE & BEAUTIFUL!
I keep going back to this demo. That was some incredible playing. Anyone know the songs?
Wow ..crazy playing ..gunna come back and listen to this again for sure
Its sad to know he is going to be too famous to keep these videos up one day, the man the legend
Sam Nunez hahaha! Wishful thinking buddy.
@@OspreyEye so you made records, been in a band that has toured America and Europe?
Steve X Huh? I’m saying it’s wishful thinking because with today’s vapid music scene someone as talented and unique as Lemmo has almost no chance of becoming a Clapton or Hendrix. It’s all garbage mumble rap or pop crap.
@@OspreyEye sure, laughing sounds like "wishful thinking".
Steve X you just didn’t get my comment or I did a bad job writing it.
Just wow.... nothing else to add apart from the stratospheric playing...very cool
Yep
Alien butterflies again
It's a pleasure to watch you play
Wow, Thanks for sharing. Just what I needed
why doesn't this guy have a record deal? amazing!
Anyone know what song he is playing?? I need to know!!
Watched 3 times in a row! Thanks for the inspiration! Beautiful is the only word that comes to mind.
One of the best players to ever be on this channel.
Name of song?
So so good, Michael Lemmo. I love that you play your own melodies!! 💖
Mike Oldfield on speed! Beautiful guitar and playing. If I could play that would be the one!
Guitar is aight. You, my friend, are a national treasure.
Bro I get chills every time I find this vid
I have this exact same guitar and never heard it sound this good! Damn, may have to get it fixed.... and learn to play like lemmo
That's because he's Lemmo and your not. ;-)
@@Powertuber1000 agreed!
Lemmo! you are so very talented, thank you.... Hi Jen!
Whoa. Please demo all guitars in the shop. Thank you.
Mind blowing Lemmo!
same to you Michal Lemmo hope all is well''' that was some sweet playin'''
Wow...some bada$$ hammer-on / pull-off skills. Killin it!
For standard tuning, capo goes on 4th fret, not 5th. Thanks for the video, I learned something fun to play.
absolutely incredible! blew my mind 🤯
Awsome! Came here for the guitar, stayed for the nice playing. Nicely done sir 👏🏼
Wow that’s some amazing playing! 🖖
Finally Lemmo! Phenomenal
Wow goes to show ya it’s the skill and talent of the player! 👍
nice playing! I could see myself on a long drive at night alone on the road..... cruising to this..
you are an amazing player mate. Inspiring.
Incredible
you are the second person i see playing this guitar beautifully!! I have the one without the built in tuner, but still have the classic 4 fishman pick up and EQ. I got mine for about $200 from GC when it first show case
The guitar sounds really good on the style of music you play, I like 🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
I wish there was more of his original music available, he's a great player!
I used to have one with a silver sparkle finish. Pretty cool guitar!
Wow, nice style and excellent playing!
This demo was so amazing! I don’t even care about the guitar man that was incredible!
My F. I love that JAM man. Keep rockin!
That's a strange looking guitar with a fine sound to it. I like it. Glad to see you back on the screen Lemmo!

Awesome ! Lemmo continues to amaze me. 👍🏼🎸
Fckn awesome playing Michael 👌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Wonderful sound.
You are really an awesome and unique guitar player man!! Wow!!
Interesting hybrid of a strat and an acoustic.
This is a really cool demo, Lemmo.
That's the first time I've heard someone play where I literally thought it was an effect, and not just a clever affectation of one. Wow
That was insane.
it always amazes me how fresh this guy sounds
Lemmo for president !!
I'll second that. He doesn't seem like he would encourage tear gassing children
Great playing!
Great play! As always
Lemmo - Look forward to many more of your videos!
I wanna play like you when I grow up! (I'm 64)
Wow, we forgot how great they sound! What amplifier would you recommend for the Stratocoustic guitar?
Killer playing Lemo!!
That playing is insane
Lemmo’s the KING! 🙌🏻
