You’re Missing out buddy . This old guy is still always looking to improve, in anyway possible, and going to a Joe Bonamassa concert is motivating, entertaining and money well spent. It’s the best night of the year too( sorry honey).
I’ve never listened to his music ,or know anyone into his music, but he ALWAYS sells out the local Fox…. Somehow makes loads of money to afford these things. So power to the people who support him. I have nothing against the guy, just was never into blues (besides muddy and king).
@@alexcorona he does MUCH more than a slow 12-bar shuffle. i don't care for the blues much at all personally, but i have seen JB from the second row and i was captivated for the entire show.
When Ed King was in "Lynyrd Skynyrd", Ronnie Van Zandt, used to use him as a "Punching Bag", and he got tired of the abuse, and left the band!! It's a shame how Ronnie treated him, and "Lynyrd Skynyrd" lost a great talent!!
I love Joe and his passion for vintage guitars. You can tell his love and appreciation for the art of collecting...it also helps to be one of the best guitarists in the world that's a millionaire with enough disposable income to purchase whatever he wants. He's a virtuoso and can't help but playing a guitar if it's in his hands. He legitimately can't go more than 30 seconds without playing a riff.
I could see, and rewatch this over and over again! I love this story's on the couch with Norm, Joe, Mark and everyone invited telling their stories. I'm a geek myself, a little geek 😁 Kind regards from Belgium.
You can see norms pride in joe watching him grow from 12 must have been very good to norm over the years and i think it shows hes almost like a dad to joe love the continuous joe and norm collaborations its makes the channel like nothing else and thank you for creating the amazing videos you do norm your a one of a kind guy in all the best ways!
I love this guitar, and all the guitars on the walls behind the couch, as well as this laid back talk session. But I couldn't take my eyes off that 2 tone submariner.
I really enjoy these type of videos where Norm participates by sharing stories, talking about guitars or to guitarists and when he discusses what he just bought; especially when it's multiple guitars.
❤️☀️🎸🍋I am a normal guy passing through from another continent or land, God knows… but I believe Mr. Joe Bonamassa has to receive “The Greeny” from Mr. Kirk Hammett as a special gift, free, borrowing until next true gold noble heart person in the future! Just for justice! I am only a small ant with a little ego looking only my shoes and I don’t know nothing about music or playing the guitar, or what is the blues… and I don’t know all these guys, Joe and the uncle Mr. Norman (Mr. Gentleman Norman and his magic rare special guitars and best special shop in the whole world with his passion, knowledge, wisdom, experience and big love for music, original, vintage guitar, musical instruments…All the greatest family staff from the shop, everyone, the really music lovers including the sweetest voice and really special and nice of the camerawoman. What a honor to me watching your RUclips videos because there are all a Christmas gift for my heart), but it’s true. Kirk this guitar is special and needs to be alive out of this bloody case man, come man! God puts this guitar in the Eden, here in this land just with the only action of thinking and imagining that 59 Guitar! Same as when using the mind or hands of Mr. Leo Fender and all his visionaries inspirations. Thank you God! Have a good Sunday all of you! And I shut up right now. All the best wishes in life! All yours, Jesús Sánchez.
Love the way Joe talks about his vintage guitars. I had a rather expensive one in mind but my wife said 'I hope you enjoy sleeping in the guitar case'.
My good friend plays in a band on carnival cruise...employed through bb king blues club I recon....could hang right with Joe or anyone else here...honest
I'm very happy to have found this series of videos Norm put up. I have earned a great deal about vintage guitars from them, the ting I like the most is that I discovered Joe Bottamoso. I can not wait until he comes to Heashey Pa again
Gibson Les Paul Goldtop IS THE BEST GUITAR IN THE WORLD. My father gave me this guitar that he use for 43 years. I have the original amplifier and the strap and case. I say it is the best guitar BECAUSE it has NEVER lost its original sound, it has a sound with body, substantial and fat sound. This guitar is from 1955 ( late ) with its 90’s pickups. My father protected it AS A DAUGHTER, and NEVER NEVER NEED REPAIRS BECAUSE IS GBSON.
early pat sticker pickups are identical in construction to the late pafs . the only difference is the sticker .you can get early patent number pickups for less then some boutique winders are charging for paf clones .

Nice 'hang' ! I have an EPI LP Std + in CSB that i like alot. Often thought about leaving it out in the Cali sun to get a fade like Joe's '60. I think they 'fixed' the finish so that wouldn't happen. Blues Cruise. Marcus King!!! That vid from a few years back still SLAYS me!
Got to say that, ignorantly, I have no idea who Joe is. Just found out about Norm’s Rare Guitars, so I have lots of catching up to do. Initially, didn’t quite “get” Joe, but he’s an acquired taste. I’m doing some acquiring. Cool dude for sure. Nerdy. And that brings more in my mind than so much more. He’s passionate. He’s down to earth. No more to say. Got some more digging to do. And digging good music, and those who make it… for sure. Thanks to Norm for a new drain on my time :-)….
NOW HERE THIS! NOW HERE THIS!!!! WE WILL NNNNNOTTTT! LOSE ANYONE ELSE!!!!! Y'ALL STAY HEALTHY & STRONG & WWWWWONNNNNDERFULLL!!!! & JOYYYYYYOYS & HAPPPPPY!
In the mid 70s I had a chance to buy one of these 1960 non figured sunburst top for $600. I had pretty much to the penny $297 and no hope to get the rest..and I really wanted it cause I loved Jimmy Page.Right there in the window of We Buy Guitars on 48th Street. I wonder realistically how much different this guitar sounds compared to a 59 Gibson Reissue of say 22 years of age ? Joe could really answer that one the perfect guy to do it.
Man I live through these vidios.i would be happy with an Epiphone. I want one or a Gibson so bad ..I save up then something in life happens where I have to spend it
I once heard JB say he has ADD. ....so he did pretty well not losing his thread when Norm’s phone kept ringing didn’t he? Quite irritating ring tone as well!
ADD doesn't only make you easily distracted in most usual situations or impatient if you have to do boring work. It makes you also extremely focused on things you love and you are interested in - to the point where you forget to drink, eat or go to the bathroom. Which kinda explaines how JB became the guitar player he is.
Strange, but when Joe (or any prominent guitarist) plays a vintage Les Paul, I really don't hear all that much difference from any other guitar he's playing. I would love to see him play a 60 or 59 next to a 75 or 05 or whatever, and see if there truly is that much difference in the tone. Cool to see videos like this, nonetheless.
Amazing how Joe is always so willing to share his wealth of knowledge and is such a down to earth guy. There aren't many guys like him out there.
I'll never own a JB cd, or go to a JB concert, but I can listen to him tell stories and kick out lil licks all day long. Go Figure.
Listen to his music, go see him live, he is INCREDIBLE!!!!!!

That’s the realest comment in all of guitar RUclips
@@alexcorona he does MUCH more than a slow 12-bar shuffle. i don't care for the blues much at all personally, but i have seen JB from the second row and i was captivated for the entire show.
That was very kind that Mark took time out to mention the passing of Ed King which I loved seeing him pop up on guitar videos .
R.I.P. Ed !!!!!!!
When Ed King was in "Lynyrd Skynyrd", Ronnie Van Zandt, used to use him as a "Punching Bag", and he got tired of the abuse, and left the band!! It's a shame how Ronnie treated him, and "Lynyrd Skynyrd" lost a great talent!!

The art of collecting??
I drove my parents crazy playing "Incense and Peppermints" sad to lose Ed King. I appreciate these videos, the memories everybody shares are great...
I could see, and rewatch this over and over again! I love this story's on the couch with Norm, Joe, Mark and everyone invited telling their stories. I'm a geek myself, a little geek 😁 Kind regards from Belgium.
To me, this video is more about a shared experience than just a guitar. These guys have hearts bigger than their wallets, I know that much.
You can see norms pride in joe watching him grow from 12 must have been very good to norm over the years and i think it shows hes almost like a dad to joe love the continuous joe and norm collaborations its makes the channel like nothing else and thank you for creating the amazing videos you do norm your a one of a kind guy in all the best ways!
Norm!!! There is a simple silent switch located on the side of that iPhone!!!!!!!
Gorgeous "1960 Sunburst"!! RIP Ed King!!
Kind words for Ed King (RIP), very sad. Good to see JOE, great sounding Cousin Jethro!!!
I love the finish on that 60'.
Joe can play those standard blues licks but make them sound exciting all over again.
Best guitar videos out there ever Joe Bonamassa is just a great guy so is Norm and his staff thank you Jen for the videos
All class acts but Jen should get a thumbs up Norman. RIP Mr King
Jeez Norm, couldn't you take ten seconds to thank Jen for all her contributions to the store? :-)
white knight
I swear I am trying hard to listen and watch but that black les Paul has my full attention. I need that in my life
Beautiful gear, and JB has the tone at his fingers!!!!
I love this guitar, and all the guitars on the walls behind the couch, as well as this laid back talk session. But I couldn't take my eyes off that 2 tone submariner.
My two fav guitars. Gotta love those 60's necks.
You 60s lovers and your small hands...
I really enjoy these type of videos where Norm participates by sharing stories, talking about guitars or to guitarists and when he discusses what he just bought; especially when it's multiple guitars.
These are the videos I love the most, great stories and great playing.
We're doing tubba them next week. Cool Joe 😎 God bless you guitar man " turn it up" Ed King!

I've got a custom shop re-issue of this LP and it rocks!
Come on Norm. Turn your damn phone onto silent and give some kudos to Jen.
hes running a business during filming
Jen was prankin' him lol
Hey Norman turn that fcukin’ phone off you jerk !!
You should know better.
God Bless you Dear Norm always rewatch I got your excellent videos and what a treat with Joe there Priceless! Prayers Sir .
"unfortunately it sounds like me playing a Les Paul" lol
WHATS A < LES PAUL LOL > ??? IS THAT A NEW MODEL ??
@@harleykingman I guess you didn't see the end quotes after 'paul'?
I just wanted to say I thought that quote was pretty funny, hence the 'lol'. it actually made me laugh out loud
Tremendous tone
Yep sounds like one of the best guitarists in the world playing one of the best guitars money can buy....
I love how much oomph the attack of that thing has.
Love the way Joe talks about his vintage guitars. I had a rather expensive one in mind but my wife said 'I hope you enjoy sleeping in the guitar case'.
It honestly sounds more like a tele with hums. The sound is so sharp and crisp, no other les Paul sounds like that. Only teles
I was thinking it may be my favorite sounding burst. Maybe low output pickups?
If you watched this 'til the end - you just know that Joe left with Norm's watch. That guy would sell his grandma for $10.
I have a 1992 Les Paul Classic which is a reissue of a 1960 Standard. It has the thinnest neck I've ever seen an weighs only 8lb 2oz. Amazing guitar.
My good friend plays in a band on carnival cruise...employed through bb king blues club I recon....could hang right with Joe or anyone else here...honest
I'll take fifteen minutes with M. Bonamassa anytime, thanks!!!
Gross. Be sure to clean up afterwards.
"Unfortunately it sounds like me playing a Les Paul." Love it! LOL!!!
hope Norm's discovered the "Silent Mode" switch by now, SMH
I'm very happy to have found this series of videos Norm put up. I have earned a great deal about vintage guitars from them, the ting I like the most is that I discovered Joe Bottamoso. I can not wait until he comes to Heashey Pa again
Norm, you need to petition RUclips to add a ❤ button just for when Joe is on...
one of the best looking LP i've ever seen in my life!

what a beautiful axe! It really sings
Joe Bonamassa is one cool bluesman, yeah! 👍
4:52 little section of leftys over Joe's shoulder
Could you do a review on that john lennon gibson les paul
Norm....the phone man! Shut down the phone! I love you shows.....even with the phone on.
It's fun watching you guys just shooting the "sh@t." A historic musical education as well.
What do you mean by “unfortunately it sounds like me playing a Les Paul”? To me that is one of best things in the world. 😀👌🏻
0:11 Reppin the house of Guitars! Love it!
I love ya Norm but TURN YOUR PHONE OFF MAN!
Nothing like a guy telling a heartfelt story about a friend passing and a phone keeps going off. Really disrespectful.
Like your phone has never gone off at an inappropriate time. We all do it, even Norm.
AND TURN UR IGNORANT SON OFF TOO , 4 GOOD !!!!!!!!!!
Maybe once. But 5 times. Not trying to be hard on Norm but damn.
Money is more important than Joe don't you think.
When Mr B. says that Ed King was a member of our forum. Which forum was he speaking of?
When Joe starts playing at 2:10 ish, he holds that guitar fairly interesting
Playing a LP on a couch is always a pain in the neck lmao. The big rounded body always gives me a problem so I have to angle it akwardly
That les Paul sounds great!!
I don't play the guitar. I would still hangout and listen to these guys talk shop
early pat sticker pickups are identical in construction to the late pafs . the only difference is the sticker .you can get early patent number pickups for less then some boutique winders are charging for paf clones .

That burst sounds fantastic. I’ll take the ‘63 ES-335 over the burst any day though.
RIP Ed King.

Ya HEAR?!?
That vintage pre cbs ringtone.
Wow look at that ! 4 whole Left handed guitars !
Coo; convo. Good to see brother Nick.
great "on the couch" segment guys
So nice you talking about Ted
JB: “What kind of watch is that?” JB has ADD... Hilarious!
It's a steel/gold Rolex Submariner
Ted greene was definitely one of the best,chord chemistry is that book that will teach you amillion A chords lol
♥️♥️🎸Gretsch BluesGUITAR'S,Dubro's, DoubleNeck's!! Some day soon we'll see Joe Bonamassa play a CIGARbox Guitar
Great chat guys. Be nice to see more of this type of video.
Amazing dream of guitar that beauty les paul scream jimmy page
Jimmy Page was not the only Les Paul player dude...
I know but jimmy loved the feeling of the neck on the les paul of the 60's why I mention it.
When Norm's phone rings he doesn't just hang it up, he answers it and just leaves it there lmaoooooo
Loved that Ted Greene got some love here. Got into teles because of him. Also how does JB know so much about vintage gear!
His Dad was an instrument Dealer/Broker.
Conversations were interesting, so stop nitpicking about the phone and other negative comments. Norm doesn't know how to turn it to silent lol.
Norm is always so Cool !
cant wait to see bonamassa this fall in Stockholm!
Direct deposit plan for Joe.Thats what I'm talkin' about!
Do they always record these videos after hours cos I always never see customers browsing around?
In the mid 70s I had a chance to buy one of these 1960 non figured sunburst top for $600.

Joe could really answer that one the perfect guy to do it.
Most dudes I knew hated big necks. They could not even play them. How you know you are a musician? You can play on anything!
GOOOOOOOD OL' COUSIN JETHRO!
Man I live through these vidios.i would be happy with an Epiphone. I want one or a Gibson so bad ..I save up then something in life happens where I have to spend it
The problem is that Norm doesn't know how to turn his phone off. You have to remember he (and i) started out with rotary phones. :-)
5:23 he goes for the volume pot immediately after he starts talking lol
I KNEW I was saying SWWWWWWEEEEET JOE BONANZA for a reason!!!!
Yes Sorry about Ed King. Had No idea that JB was gonna play Sweet Home Alabama!!! LOVE that Color
I once heard JB say he has ADD.
....so he did pretty well not losing his thread when Norm’s phone kept ringing didn’t he? Quite irritating ring tone as well!
ADD doesn't only make you easily distracted in most usual situations or impatient if you have to do boring work. It makes you also extremely focused on things you love and you are interested in - to the point where you forget to drink, eat or go to the bathroom. Which kinda explaines how JB became the guitar player he is.
Rainyman63 yes, I imagine that could well be the case.
I'm puzzled...that bridge doesn't look like a '60 bridge...Unless I missunderstood something...someone can explain that to me?

Very cool
Looks like a frank Sidoris from Slash’s band In the background window shopping!
I bet the teacher Joe was talking about was Carmen Caramanica. Local guy.
the 59 profile necks are unbelievably comfortable. i can't play a thin neck.
I agree. R9 FOR ME
@@jimmyjoe1871 the more neck. The more energy to the body
Joe is such a tasty little player and that guitar sounds gret!
Is that the guy from Gibson video ?
Ted sounds a great guy !
