Mark Agnesi back at Norm's. So comforting :) I love that Gibson will allow Fender, Rick, Gretsch, etc to be included in their videos. I admire that confidence and acknowledgment that even the most brand-loyal Gibson fanatic still has a love affair with every great, classic guitar, regardless of who made it. We're all guitar fanatics first and foremost.
Oh man, I miss Mark. His GOTD episodes got me through each week. Lemmo is great and all but Mark’s personality will never be topped. All EQs at noon, just a little bit of reverb!
I love Norm. He’s is the sweetest most humble guy. When I lived in LA I would go to Norms all the time on my lunch break and Norm would just stop what he’s doing to talk and share. He is one of those guys that has the ability to make everyone he speaks to feel special. No matter if your a shoe salesman or Legends like Frank Stallone. :) Norm will always be warm and kind. It was always great to see Mark in the store back then as well. Long live Norm’s Rare Guitars.
I remember years ago calling Norms store and Mark answering my call, it was cool having Mark help me with an order, he was very helpful, I still have my "Make Gibson Great Again" baseball hat and t-shirts that Mark sold me.
You can really see Norm's sincerity in this video. It's scary to hear Covid's impact on businesses, even one as well established as Norm's. Hopefully in the near future us gigging musicians can get back out there and entertain some folks. Mark you guys at Gibson are doing a great job. Bought an SG standard recently, love it.
Take Lemmo all day. Better player and Mark is at Gibson! Gibson just rubs me the wrong way. They always have problems with something. Mark seems cool and everything but Gibson is just relying on brand name only. Tons of guitars are better than them.
I am one of them that don't play but do enjoy Norman's Rare Guitars channel. Mark your one of the reasons I started watching Norman's Rare Guitars, your passion and smile, Your can't fake that.
Norm Harris is a brilliant genius with a heart of gold; while he is known for his work with guitars, he is a philanthropist who makes great efforts on behalf of the homeless. May you be blessed always!
I did the pilgrimage to Norm's about a year ago with another musician friend when we were visiting L.A.. Norm was working that day. Todd greeted us at the door and treated us really well....even offered to get stuff out of the vault. I got to play a '55 Gibson ES-295 Gold Top and a mid 60's SG with mini-humbuckers on that iconic couch. As an added bonus, Tim Pierce was coming in just as we were leaving. I am a virtual nobody in the music industry, but this place treated us like we were family. Kudos!!
I'm glad Mark left Norm's, not because I didn't like his guitar of the day episodes, but because he made some awesome videos since then, going places he couldn't at Norm's. Good to see you back Marky, love your other videos, especially seing guitar collections like Brian Ray's!!
As a bassist I miss Mark doing Thumpin’ Thursday and ragging on it. My favorite was when he reported the passing of a music legend and then said, “and what’s worse is.....it’s Thumpin’ Thursday!l
Yup. I got into few scuffles with people who didn’t understand that I was joking about bass. Because I’d join in on the “ oh good lord it’s bass day again” or “ like the rain, I understand the need for bass. But when I go outside. I prefer it to be all sunny and guitars outside”
That’s what I love about Mark Agnesi. He immediately brought Gibson media content to Norman. For many people nowadays, they couldn’t separate Mark Agnesi and Normans Rear Guitar. What a modest, real dude. You’re awesome Mark!
went in there a few years back with my dad. at the time i was extremely obsessed with green day, and being a bass player the first thing i did was pick up a gibson ripper they had at the time. i just stood there in awe at this amazing instrument that i had just watched mark do a guitar of the day on. mark being the nice dude he was came over and allowed me to plug in, and was all around a super nice guy. needless to say i sat there and played the same four songs on that thing for hours lol.
Best 1-O-1 conversation, where y'all are reminiscing, and realizing what the Good Ole Days are, once again. Yep, absolutely the best. Thank y'all x1B 👍.
Another Great one, been with Norms from the beginning, I remember Agnesi's very first Guitar of the day to the Lemmo switch over and Still rolling Along. Jen, without you where would they be, Thanks to ALL of the people who make it All happen there at Norms.............🎸💚
I love the combination of music and caring for your fellow person together. Thanks to Norm and Mark for so many great videos, presenting quality instruments built with intention, and pursuing a life of passion!!
Very fond memories of my visit from the U.K. two years ago. Met Mark and he sold me a Martin 00018 EC which I play everyday. Thanks Norm and here’s to many more years.
Really really really nice episode. Really nice to see these two guys hanging at Norms again. Like father and son. So much love and respect between them. Really nice to to see these things in these times. Thank you
I’ve had the great pleasure of visiting the store on a couple of occasions, meeting these gentlemen, and buying two of my favorite guitars in my collection
Excellent video. Totally loved it. It was great seeing you guys together and sharing such good stories. Norm I have a feeling George would have let you take a picture of you, him and the guitar together.
I bought my Martin D42 back in May to support the store during these tough times. Spoke to Mark many times over the phone when he worked there. Cheers.
I’m one of those non-guitar players who Norm described that still subscribe and watch the channel. Still love the instrument though, and its history. How do you not love Norm? He’s the best. Class.
That has to be the best interview that I have ever seen. What a great institution for the guitar community to have.. Stay safe and well & Thank you for being the Godfather of vintage guitars. Signed John Zepbass. Munster, Indiana.
Norm's is the Place! Good to see that Norm's has adapted to the E-Market and Social Media as well as surviving in the age of Covid...Long My You Run Norman!
it's great to see Norm and Mark sitting down and having a chat. Both are so influential to guitar players and enthusiasts. I might have commented before, I am proud to say that I've met Mark and Norm, I walked in to Norm's and saw Mark and quickly told him that I hoped that "they" paid him enough, Mark was busy and smiled, I bought Norm's book which he kindly signed and it resides on the bookshelf in my office. I have to say that Norm's guitar store has a great vibe, rare guitars all within hands reach, not like most shops with the expensive guitars hung near the ceiling. I look forward to my next trip to Norm's and wish the best for Norm and Mark in his new adventure with Gibson.
Norman is such a beautiful soul and Mark is such a great asset. I love the company and I love and will always be grateful for Mark’s contributions. I hope one day I can visit the store and leave with a guitar. Thanks so much Norman and Mark!!
Blessed to meet you Mark and Norm in September 2018, my son and I flew out to see my friend Doug Aldrich at the Roxy. We HAD to take a Lyft to Norm's❤️
Im loving these new Gibson TV series. Mark was made for this gig, they are so good. This turn around has made me pick up my first new Gibson in 20 years. The 70s Explorer hopefully to be followed by the 70s V. Thanks for keeping gibson alive!
This was a great video!! The old days of GOTD were a ton of fun! The comment section was usually full of the same people every day ribbing and teasing each other and mark. Certainly no flies on lemmo. The kid is an amazing player and artist. But I do miss mark tearing out some great classic rock tunes. On the correct guitar for the song. Thanks to both of you guys for the years of entertainment and guitar education. Lot of love!!
I bought 3 guitars from Mark at Norm's and 1 from Nick since Mark's leaving. All Gibson's. Norman's Rare Guitars is one of the best places to buy vintage guitars. Much appreciated video! Keep up the great work!
Great interview... Great to see Norm and Mark together again... As a Vintage Guitar Dealer it just doesn't get any better to me... Thank You Gentleman ! Rudy@GRNY.
I am one of those who have made a couple trips to the store when in LA. It is just jaw dropping walking around. Norm was as nice as he could be talking with me.
Great interview- Mark asked all the questions I had in my own head, and then some. He really knew how to draw out Norm’s personality and passions. Great stuff!
Not sure if this counts as a Norm-ism but when Mark did his off-shoot show "The Mark Agnesi Show" I broke down and bought an "All EQ's at Noon, and a little bit of Reverb" T-Shirt which I still wear when playing out in the garage. Thanks Mark!
Mark , I so enjoyed you at norms, I’ll never forget.. I planned my first trip to LA to see you at norms .. months before you left... when I heard the news that you were leaving it was the same day I arrived... I was so bummed. You were gone... I Couldn’t believe it, However it was nice to see norm I spoke to him about an hour or so. I stayed most of the day .. Very cool .... spoke to Lemmo .. And everyone else ... It really was a great trip to LA... I stayed 3 days then drove to San Francisco...etc... that’s my story I hoped we would have met just to say hay ...ok better luck next time..peace bro ....joe Matt
So nice had to watch it twice ! Great q and a. Worth noting that apparently Norm hadn't been a Gibson dealer for new guitars for over 25 years but is now. Maybe Mark helped that.
Damn, Norm provided me so much information in this 14 minute video. Manufacturers starting to cheap out back in the day driving the "vintage" market was such an insight. And then the reason why he likes "blonde" guitars, has to be a good piece of wood. I liked "blonde" because I genuinely enjoy the natural wood look, but now I have another reason to it.
Gosh, I never thought I'd have tears in my eyes watching a video about NRG's but I most certainly did. Listening to Norm's story on how he's built the most iconic guitar store in the world while being interviewed by his #1 employee of all time was very, very special. Keep up the great work, Norm! And Mark, if/when Norm decides to sit on that couch a bit more perhaps you could take your rightful place on the throne? Of course, you might need to reach out to "Singapore Steve" for some backing. :) Loved this piece, thanks for sharing.
Norman's is right down the street from me, in Tarzana. I live in Woodland Hills. Across the street is CD Trader that I go to often. Will go in there someday when I'm ready to buy. Afraid to now, I don't want to be tempted.
All EQ’s at noon, little bit of reverb!!
Just remember, sometimes you gotta put the mids at 10 if you want to get *dirty*

That might be the second most famous Couch on the Internet
Lol gibson knows whats up with that like
Dead as fuck

HAHA
The fact Gibson loved your comment makes it even better 😂😂😂

I don’t care for Mark at all. Find him bordering obnoxious and talks over his guests too much.
only Norman Harris who can said:
"you know i told you not to go"
and it feels like slapping Mark face softly 😂

Now Michael Lemmo does a great job.... but GOTD really lacks the "Agnesi Historical Information" side of the guitars...
Lemmo is a great guitarist but I don’t get excited as I did when mark hosted it
As a younger person I enjoy Lemmo more than I ever did Mark. I still love Mark’s take on it.
I really like Lemmo but I’m always amazed by how he does not get the Fender Mustang pick up switches in every demos he does 😂
Take Lemmo all day. Better player and Mark is at Gibson! Gibson just rubs me the wrong way. They always have problems with something. Mark seems cool and everything but Gibson is just relying on brand name only. Tons of guitars are better than them.
Indeed. We miss mark (but lemmo is also great)
I am one of them that don't play but do enjoy Norman's Rare Guitars channel.

I did the pilgrimage to Norm's about a year ago with another musician friend when we were visiting L.A.. Norm was working that day. Todd greeted us at the door and treated us really well....even offered to get stuff out of the vault.

I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to talk guitars with Mark and Norm, both super knowledgeable and great guys. Gibson TV is awesome!
Not knocking the new guys but when mark left gotd it was never the same, he played classic songs on classic guitars and I loved it
Thank you Gibson for taking us along the musical path, Jeff in LA USA
I love the combination of music and caring for your fellow person together. Thanks to Norm and Mark for so many great videos, presenting quality instruments built with intention, and pursuing a life of passion!!
Lemmo is great. Agnesi is legendary. “True freaking bypass!” #legit
Always puts a smile on my face when you two sit and talk
So proud of Gibson not cutting out other brands of guitars in these videos! Everyone at gibson is doing fantastic
Gibson did the right thing bringing Mark on board. Killer videos.
Very fond memories of my visit from the U.K. two years ago. Met Mark and he sold me a Martin 00018 EC which I play everyday. Thanks Norm and here’s to many more years.
I miss mark at Norms so much. So happy he ascended in his career but man, what I’d give for another straturday with Mark Agnesi....
Normans guitars and a smoke shop next door... Winning combination🔥👍
Really really really nice episode. Really nice to see these two guys hanging at Norms again. Like father and son. So much love and respect between them. Really nice to to see these things in these times. Thank you
Having a cameo episode with Mark would be really cool. Maybe when there will be Norm's exclusive series of Gibson guitars?
Norm is a good dude. He deserves the all the success he has had. When I think of my dream job Norm's is pretty high on the list. Thanks
We miss you Mark! Good to hear more from you off script. It's where you're the best
My favorite episode! It's just lovely to see Mark come full circle at Norm's. Would love to visit Norm's when the world gets better. ❤
Man this is literally the best podcast segment ever done!
The authenticity and passion is second to none
I’ve had the great pleasure of visiting the store on a couple of occasions, meeting these gentlemen, and buying two of my favorite guitars in my collection
It was nice to see Mark go back to his roots. Made me smile.
Great to see Mr Agnesi back at Norms.The days when it was about showcasing the guitars, not the person playing it!👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧

Great to listen to you both talking about guitars. I hope to visit the store one day. Staysafe 🎸
You're the best, Mark, miss ya!!...🍁
Norm is looking good for his age. I still have the Tobacco Sunburst Les Paul Custom I bought from him way back in 2003 while I was on tour.
This makes me so happy!
Hope the audio was mixed with all eq's at noon and a little bit of reverb. Thanks Mark and Gibson, Great Ep!
Super interesting great and essential history of vintage guitars- and great questions!
Another grand slam by Mark! Excellent interview! Norm and Mark's passion for guitars is palpable. Perfect!
Both of your energy radiates. Good people! Great job Mark!
Norman is such a humble and kind man.
Mark we love you. You're doing amazing things with Gibson.
I did not know GIBSON was doing a great job in 2020 ! 🤪
