It must be so nice to work at Norms , or be one of those friends that drops in and gets to jam with some of the greatest musicians in LaLa land , but ultimately its all about the fantastic , beautiful guitars , and it's always a pleasure to just sit back and enjoy the music. Thanks Norm , Mark , Jen
The SONGS are most important - I like that John Shanks made that point. Guitar players who play to the song are much more interesting to me, people like Mike Campbell for instance. Great interview, and part 2 with Chris Issak is even better!!
Thank you guys you covered so many subjects of music n life it’s amazing. Team work n and the sound it delivers so many times I have gone into a place to hear a new band play but one plays louder than the other is it ego and the cranking of amps starts then the sound dies..........
I was 14 when I discovered Chris Issak in 1995...no real reason why other than I thought the album art was cool for Forever Blue...when I listened to it...it was one of those moments that I realized didn't happen by chance. It waslime someone else was writing the thoughts in my head. Because of him and my brother those are the reason I picked up a guitar. I've been hooked ever since.
My dream RUclips show would be listening to John Shanks and Tom Bukovac talk gear, guitars, and crafting parts for records. Seriously, what would be better than that?

Love this casual conversation, but right in the mid sentence it cuts to a movie about ebola and "we're all gonna die!!", then back to conversation. :-0
That was fuckin cool. I love shit like that, man. My fingers never worked like that, but.. I miss the days when they almost did. Fuckin arthritis. All I want to do is play... all I got is time.. and I'm fadin' so fucking fast. It sucks. Big time. Shit. Fuck. Hell.

What John Shanks is saying about playing and writing is something I've preached for a long time. It is the tale, not he who tells it. (To quote Stephen King - sort of.)
Just an honest question for Norm’s, are late 50’s/early 60’s Les Pauls really THAT much better (craftsmanship wise) than say a 2016 Les Paul Standard? As somebody who will most likely never touch one of those vintage instruments let alone play them, I’m really just fascinated by it. I have a 2016 Les Paul Standard that I think is just a fantastic Les Paul (and I’ve owned several post 2000 Standards) - what makes late 50’s/early 60’s Les Pauls the most incredible Les Pauls ever?
Great players I hope someday I can afford some of your guitars I get such pleasure out of hearing in them. I long for 57 Les Paul junior player's grade change tuners who gives a f*** I'm just going to play the goddamn thing in bars
That was....uhmmm...underwhelming......thanks for the Cameo Chris........!......cant'wait for part three.........?....Norm for christ sake.......step it up or step off!....just kiddin!
Says who...? It's 'Norman's Rare Guitars' not the Marine Corps, and moreover, there's no grooming standard in Los Angeles let alone the music industry. Stop eye fucking other men over their grooming habits and turn your mind towards more pressing concerns. That is to say, concerning your grammar (or lack thereof), you have truly shit the bed. Bare in mind that whilst you're nit-picking the grooming habits of other men, you might want to do so with a command of the English language that doesn't bring to mind a third grader with a learning disability.

I learn so much, about guitars with you'll. Thank you!
John Shanks and Chris Issak? Holy crap!! Amazing talent there!! Can't wait for part (or number) 2!! Thanks guys!!

Great, great interview. This guy is great!
Every musician, not just guitar players should watch this, and listen to John's wisdom !!! . I can't wait for part 2. 👍
John Shanks, a musician l could listen to all day and can't wait for part 2.
The stories, information, details....I could listen for days...Thanks for another great experience...
I AGREE! LEARNING ALLLLLLLL FACETS OF MUSIC IS IMPORTANT & FUN!
Love these videos.!! Keep em coming!!
Thank you guys you covered so many subjects of music n life it’s amazing. Team work n and the sound it delivers so many times I have gone into a place to hear a new band play but one plays louder than the other is it ego and the cranking of amps starts then the sound dies..........
Just another great video with great talent. I think this was the most interesting "talk" that I've heard from all of Norm's great videos. Good stuff.
Now that's a cliffhanger!
I really like what John had to say... Basically, he's talking about being a MUSICIAN, NOT just a guitar player... Very well said
Ok guys this part two better be mind blowing to make us wait this long for it!
Cool. It's great to see how many of these guys are so humble and seem like great humans.
Only at Norman's would this happen... I need part 2 now!!
Loved the massive sound of those acoustics! Great video, Jen!
thats great. I'm waiting 2nd part. I love Chris Isaac and have all albums.

damn i have never wanted a second part of a video so badly in my life
I hope many young musicians hear this.

GunsAndPoker But, my friend, can these strippers wax rhapsodic about Pete Cornish pedals? If so, I'm in.
13:45 this is the most perfect acoustic sound.
More awesomeness...thanks
I didn't know that wrestling manager Freddie Blassie (seen on the left on this video) owned this guitar store. Interesting.
Love that thrid gitare that he played big fan

New book idea..... Norm’s book of dad jokes.
He Recorded Van Halen's ADKOT 2012
Yeah Lemmo, you should know that, lol…. 8>)
Is that the Pink Floyd ‘Pigs’ sound right at the start of the Video when the logo appears?
That's funny; I didn't catch that, but I love that album and can play several songs off of it on my acoustic....
Troy Strain that album is unreal. The more I listen to it the more I see its brilliance. I’m gonna go learn dogs solo since you said that.

100 percent right Norm. Next episode please

John looks like the Marshall from Django Unchained, lol..
19:31 "What is it that makes that sound?"
*Looked at the price tag... :D
Just talking about guitars, and then Special Agent Chet Desmond walks in. Strange times indeed.
I know this is the wrong song, but here it goes, "and the house is looking like a rummage sale" lol John Fogerty sings Tax Man...
That look at 19:41 :-)
You should ask Jay Leno in the back to join.
Did they say 25000 for that banner acoustic? WTF?

WINDING PICK UPS IS CERTAINLY AN ART DOYLE
I HATED MADAME WONGS 2 NUWAVE CLUBS I PREFERRED PLAYING HONG KONG CAFE
SHE OFFERED LOTS OF $$$$$ BUT IT HAD A LOUSY VIBE
I WONDER IF JOHN PLAYED WITH THE GREAT PHIL CHEN WHEN HE WAS WITH ROD
WRITING & PLAYING UR OWN SONGS IS THE WAY TO GO
IT'S THE MOST REWARDING WHETHER FOR YOURSELF OR FOR THE MONEY TO BE HAD
JOHN IS RIGHT PLAYING IN A GROUP IS THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TOGETHER WIT HEART
YOU CAN STUDY ALL YOU WANT & WATCH EVERY VIDEO IN THE FUCKING WORLD AND IT'S NOTHING AT ALL LIKE BEING IN A BAND FOR REAL
JOHN IT RIGHT EVERYBODY
JUST PLAY TO THE SONG
THE SJ/J 45 SOUNDS FINE
JOHN COULD'VE LISTENED A LITTLE BETTER TO MARK
THE GUITAR AIN'T DEAD CUZ COMPUTERS DON'T LIVE DUH
