      You do realize when I said underrated I meant in the pantheon of great guitarists, right? He's almost NEVER mentioned. Not underrated as in mediocre. Underrated as he doesn't get credit for his skill. Glad to see you understand definitions of simple words.

      wayfaerer320 As Norm pointed out, it’s because he does not really want to be playing in the video. Not only do I think he’s underrated, he is also very humble and unassuming, and does not like the spotlight. This is probably the reason why he has played with Lenny for 30 years. He is more than happy to let Lenny have all of the spotlight.

      I get it but the premise is getting to watch some legends as they would behave in a guitar store, it's a great idea and there are already plenty of videos available if you just want to watch them play. I like the way the clips are put together and Norm just happens to be smart enough to dream up this idea and profit off of it, it comes off as unscripted and a little rough around the edges but that's why it's so appealing. Maybe he's a jerk irl or something, I dunno but I like watching this stuff he puts out, I get to see a side of some musicians I wouldn't know otherwise.

    When being underrated means that you purposely choose NOT to be a mainstream personality, then underrated sounds great to me. We all need to stop using this word to appreciate good musicians. This guy is obviously a great guitarist, family guy, a very fine gentleman and a key part of the RNR history. Underrate my a**, he is a very smart person IMHO. The one thing that'd be underrated here is his hairdresser.
