“It’s a loony bin.” That’s how Michael Lemmo describes Norman’s Rare Guitars, the coveted Los Angeles shop. Lemmo was tapped to join the store and eventually host their popular Guitar of the Day web series after Norm’s son Jordan spotted Lemmo jamming in the store and introduced him to his shop-owner dad. Norm kept in touch and eventually offered Lemmo a job, starting with his Lemmo Demo series of affordable guitars.
Lemmo toured through July with Allan Rayman. Ahead of their date at Nashville’s Basement East, PG’s Chris Kies caught up with the guitarist for some unofficial Lemmo demos.

Amazing! Saw him on a few of the Norman’s Guitar videos, but never thought he was such a cool, kind-hearted, down-to-earth guy! Very affable. He has some awesome stories that I’m sure he’ll never forget. Fantastic and very unique player too! The bit at 16:20 had me on the edge of my seat! He kinda mentioned that he took lessons when he was talking about utilizing the thumb, but I’m sure he’s a decent amount self-taught as well. Haha, love it. Peace, love, and happiness, to him and to all! ????????????
Lemmo sure seems like a nice person! And he is top shelf in his playing ability…
Some people just have the nicest vibe. Great playing!!! Great tone!
Damn
Great Choice for rig rundown. Lemmo rocks and his sound is unique.
Getting harder and harder to find Rig Rundowns where the artists use ''real gear'' instead of just (insert amp modeler here). Don't get me wrong, I understand why they bring modelers on tour but its kind of boring from a gear nerd perspective.
Love this guy, just seems like such a genuinely nice person. Wish you the best Lemmo! Been watching GoTD forever.
Does he use the tremolo lock button? Switching between standard and drop tuning doesn't seem to affect the other strings.
Michael and Norman Harris have graced my house here in Newhall, California. Great kid that Michael Lemmo!
Lemmo is a fantastic player and one of the most creative rock guitar players today. Never mind that he effortlessly plays jazz and other non-rock styles also.
Damn! Incredible player!
Had no idea who this guy was and I'm not a big fan of Jazzmasters, but I'm so glad I stopped by and watched (and re-watched) this. Fun, educational and inspiring stories and man, can he play!!
Fender where is the Lemmo signature Jazzmaster???
11’s on a Jazzmaster seems like a beast to play
I still miss TODD@ Norms.
Lemmo such a lovely guy and fantastic player.
Lemmo is one of a kind – love to hear him play and love what a down to earth dude he is. Can’t get enough of his playing.
I met Michael, Norm and the crew about 18 months ago. Michael helped me find a 335. He could not have not been nicer or more helpful. It was a great experience and a lot of fun.
Wow imagine getting to spend 2 hrs one on one with evh
does anyone know what the little picture between the pickups is/how he did that
Underrated lemmo!
I'm straight but I got a big crush on the dress down manner and effortless good looks of Mr lemmo
Way to go! Love Norman's!
Love Lemmo so much! Guitar of the day is the best. His tone in this vid is unbelievable.
