I had never heard of Joe Bonamassa, and then I was looking at the Gibson website and they announced a new Joe Bonamassa signature guitar, and I thought “If he gets a signature guitar, how good a player must he be?” so I checked him out on UA-cam, and before you know it I and two of my friends are in front of the stage in The Old Royal Navy College in Greenwich… then again at Hampton Court Palace… and then Joe’s music is carrying me through stage four cancer to remission!
Norm’s guitar of the day videos and Joe’s music helped get me through a very dark time in 2018-19.
Thanks Joe and Norm (and Michael Lemmo).
It's hilarious to watch Norm talk over Joe while he's trying to demo his wares...so humble.
I'm 63 now and have been playing guitar for about 50 years. If I had one guitar player who's life I could live, it would be Joe Bonamassa. Guitarist extraordinaire, guitar geek and cigar aficionado......and just a good dude!
"I like to play", no kidding. When he's not working, he's working. Joe is a national treasure. He just keeps getting better.
Not better than the real legends.
What a quote… “giving someone a guitar can change their whole life” true words to live by, for sure. Love to hear things like that from a true pro
At some point he is gonna be buying guitars off himself and not realize it...
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Haha
I definitely believe Joe has more guitars than Norm's store does now.
😂😂
You really have to give Joe some credit. He’s a hard working, kind hearted, excellent guitar player.
Groundbreaking analysis!
yeah but he's a greedy mofo when it come to vintage gear
@@toor30309 As we all would be if we were in his situation
Joe brings you along on his career. That’s cool.
Yeah he is
Norm and Joe two legends. I just love ❤️ to watch these guys. So much knowledge and talent.
Joe and Norm making the World a better place through guitars. 👍
I love it because he just loves to play. Only 2 things I ever wanted to do were play guitar and fly. Ended up flying for a career but I still play everyday and still play in bands. I still have the passion that I wish I could perform almost everyday. Admittedly it’s a bit harder when you’re doing all the setup and tear down but it’s still worth it. Watching him play and seeing his passion is like living your dream through him. His story is a great one.
Great musician and awesome person, Joe is one of the greatest guitarist and storytellers, living legend.
😂 Joe, ya gotta stop playing while others are speaking... ya do it in every video. Patience young Danielson. 😅🎸❤️
I absolutely love the nephew line and Joe always cunningly smiles ❤
After Jeff Beck passed Joe became my fav living guitar player, not just for his playing, also for being a super cool human being. That said it passes down through family and Norman is the the coolest ever!
Attitude of gratitude and the desire to give back, very classy . Us guitar nerds appreciate you both.
I started playing guitars since 1964. It changed my life. I took an acoustic guitar when I went to Vietnam to fight in the war in 1968. I now play a pedal steel guitar as well as a jazz guitar. It changed my life for sure.😅
I'll throw in my two cents about playing guitar. You might not become the next Bonamassa but knowing how to play is VERY therapeutic. Better than any medicine I've found. Grounds me like nothing else. Thanks for the video.
I couldn't agree more. Playing is the best medicine, at least for us guitar nerds it is. There's an additional $.02 to yours!
Hats off to Joe. Great musician and very hard worker as such.
It’s soo great to see Norm up and about!!
I met Joe around seven years ago. One of the nicest guys you could hope to meet. A real gentleman 😎
I love how Joe can't stop playing over Norm talking
I got to visit the store last summer and was surprised how it literally is a tiny storefront in a crowded LA strip mall! Super cool to see and some historic guitars in there. Also, Lemmo is a lot taller in person!
Once he’s tuned them all, it’s time to start all over- a full time job for sure lol. One of the modern saviors guitar!
Good to see that Norm is loking good again. I prayed for him when he was ill and to my recollection this might be one of the first times I have seen him in a video and looking like he is back to his same old self which is really great to see. God is good and answers prayers when we intercede for others, just sometimes the answers we get are not always as we might expect or within our own time frame, it is a very delicate thing, and the Lord's will is entirely up to Him but I love that he chooses to let us be involved in praying for others, and our earnest Prayers for others, whoever they are -- will have powerful results. See: James 5:16, Prayer does Work folks.
Great video with Joe Bonamassa. That '62 Fender Stratocaster sounds amazing. Kind of reminds me of the '61 Fiesta Red Fender Strat Gary Moore owned.
Sounds like 100$ squier
Standard protocol, i see joe bonamassa and vintage gear, i like the vid instantly. I could listen and watch joe play vintage stuff all day long. Guitar god JB!
That Martin sounds lovely. Loud or quiet it just sounds right.
I think Joe’s acoustic playing is stellar!
You haven't heard many acoustic players then.
@@nealm1814 😂True😂
@@nealm1814you must be awesome at acoustic. If your better than Joe you should be touring bro.
@@MrWonka5MEO Read my post again. I never said I was better than Joe at scoustic guitar but plenty others are.
@@MrWonka5MEOit never fails if your playing guitar or watching guitar players someone that doesnt play guitar will say or comment about someone else being better than you or them.
What an utterly heartwarming video, a couple of top shelf human beings! Thanks Joe and Norm!
Saw Joe 2 weeks ago in Savanah GA, fabulous. My wife who's traveled with Clair Bros./Showco years ago, said this was the best show she's ever seen.
I saw Joe in concert recently in Riverside, California. Great show, worth every penny!
Love John and Norm speaking because they listen to each other ….let each one speak when he wants ! 🙏🥰
That Strat is absolutely stunning. If I had a magic wish I would trade collections with Joe. 😂
I'd settle for just spending a day with him touring "nerdville"...
Joe is a super talented artist and a great guy. These two together are wonderful. Would love to see Norm visit Nerdville.
Thanks Norm, for your charity work. I love that. I have donated my hair 2 times to Loks 4 love and 2 times for Wigs 4 Kids. It just makes your heart warm, doing something for someone you don't know. And hoping it brings a positive effect to bring them happiness.
Joe works hard to keep up with the addiction we all wish we could afford 😅
What if Joe one day decided he was interested in modern guitars? Could you imagine if he went deep down the rabbit hole of Ibanez, ESP, EVH, PRS, and Music Man guitars with, Mesa Boogie amps?
So nice to see people who love what they do. Thanks for sharing!
I bought an early squire se strat and it plays and sounds great.Lots of hype and overkill.😊
You're looking good Norm. Every video you put out I can see more and more improvement. Your voice is stronger and there's a little boogie in your step. Back to the Norm we all came to love and admire!
I have been noticing the same thing. He looks and sounds better with each new video that he appears in. It is great to see.
I could watch these two all day. Always a pleasure
Joe is amazing . Love his dedication
Master Class in True Fire 14 day trial.
Just love Joe Bonamassa!!!!!!! Don't ever stop being a regular Joe
What a talent and a great sense of humor. See you @ The Taft!!
Two Absolute Legends Right There🥰
Awesome Guys doing Awesome Things👍
I was in LA in August for a wedding and got to meet Norm at the store. What a sweet guy.
I used to go in the old Norm's Guitar store when I was a kid off of Vanowen street and they would always tell me to keep my greasy hands off the guitars Lol. Great memories!!
I am always mesmerized listening to you play. Thank you for taking time to let us into a small part of your life as you share on media outlets. Love to see you at Norms, it is so much fun and never know what to expect.
I had a chance to see Joe but with epilepsy I couldn't go what I admire as you can see the love and pain on his face when he plays
NEVER too loud when it comes to Joe playing 😁 Saw him last month in St Louis @ the Fox, great show, the band was having fun playing.
Sir Norman and Sir Joe Bonamassa ... wow.. not sure if any researches about music and genetics!! As you can see here it's amazing thank you. Regards from England.
“Do what ya love, & love what ya do “ pretty much sums up both Norm & Joe’s lifestyles.😎👍
Fantastic episode, Mark! Amazing store! Rudy seems like such a kind soul.
JOE I'M FOR N.C. , I BROUGHT A D-35 MARTIN BACK IN 60'S WHEN I WAS 15 YO‼️ IT'S HAD TENDER LOVING CARE & RINGS LIKE A BELL🎸 I'M 71 NOW & GOT ARTHRITIS IN FINGERS & HANDS I CAN'T BEND FINGERS ‼️ I SAVED MONEY I MADE CROPPING TOBACCO FOR 4 SUMMERS 🎸I PD. $642.00 DOLLARS GUITAR & HARDSHELL CASE 🎸 I'M LAST ONE IN FAMILY AND I CAN'T BRING MYSELF TO SELL IT , I'D LOVE FOR YOU TO HAVE IT , I'D KNOW IT WOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF & PLAYED 😎 YOUR THE BEST JOE , THANK-YOU
The real shock in these recent videos is how great these Riveras sound.
Every interview with Joe at the store, Joe talks, then he starts jamming out while Norm (or whoever) is trying to talk to them or ask him questions.
That looks like the ‘62 Strat I bought in 1978 with money I saved from mowing lawns. It was refinished dark green almost black. I took it to George’s music in Kansas City on North Oak and had it refinished in Fender Candy Apple Red but kept all the original pickup covers and pick guard. It was a great first professional instrument. I traded it in 1980 to Jim Colclasure (Kansas City area vintage dealer) with $1000 for my 1959 Gibson ES-345.
WOW sold out in a WEEK!!! Congratulations Joe I'm so happy for you AND the blues!!!
Our gigantic dog knocked over our Martin and broke off a tuner. When I called the company and told them the story, the rep said he had a big dog that just destroyed his screen door by walking through it when it was closed. We had and great laugh -- and he sent me a tuner for free!
Norm is the real deal!
Joe is the real deal!
Joe, can you help Roberto ( at Norms front door) find a record deal. He is incredible!🎸🎸
"In my mind I'm still young." Amen, Norm!
Joe is not only an incredible guitar player, he is also an extraordinary artist.
An extraordinary human being !!!
I met Norm at a little local guitar swap meet a few years back. Nicest guy around and down to earth.
I still haven't seen Joe play, but it is on my list.
I was given a bday present to Martin and the private tour. Thanks to my children Johnny Dallas ( who took me there ) and my daughter Alaina Nicole.
We saw Joe in Austin in October. What a fantastic show! Chris Layton sat in with Reese and the band for some SRV songs.
GREAT video guys! Love this video the passion they BOTH share! The next one I see following this path (ALREADY) is young Taj Farrant. Already a Virtuouso and has a passion for Guitars with a very decent collection already, at just 14year old! Its great we are lucky to STILL have passionate gifted players and music connesours with a knowledge for the History and keeping The Blues and Rock alive and well! (The Late Great Jeff Beck was another who's sadly no longer here) so great to have people keeping the passion alive! 👍🎸🏴🇬🇧
I just love Norm and Joe! Fantastic people!
That story about Joe getting deals while norm was out recuperating is hilarious!
Norm n joe together just made my day! Love you guys
❤ saw Joe on the welcome back show in San Jose and it was fabulous. Just fabulous. I do believe we sat right next to his parents in the front row. It was a beautiful show. I have a beautiful beautiful recording of one of your encore songs that night on my channel
Got to see Joe BonaWho in Seattle. I was a believer before the show. Now I'm a FOLLOWER.
This why I love Norms!! Guitar central !!! Awesome stuff
Man, I feel like Joe was bummed people didn't understand how good this year's SG was. Everyone got so caught up on the damn pickups. It's a super rare model of sg. There's not exactly a production Gibson equivalent. And getting a custom shop made would be 10x the epiphones. And then you couldn't gig it in good conscious!
I'm sure he won't see this, but I'll say. I bought one, and it blows a lot of thr Gibson standard, and 61 reissue that I've played, out of the water. It's closer to a Gibson custom than Gibson would care to admit. The wood on my example is gorgeous. So is the REAL MOP custom inlay.
If people used their ears and not their eyes/country of origin to judge pickups, they'd realize they sound pretty damn good. (pickup height is important and balancing the middle position to a sound you like)
I also think epiphone should've really pushed the solid two piece body, the inlays, and the single piece neck. It seemed like a lot of marketing went towards the tuners, which are gorgeous and feel premium, but don't really sell a guitar imo. But I know nothing about marketing tbf.
I feel like epiphone did Joe dirty with this greeny release being so close, and having the gibby headstock.
I think Joe also deserves the title of coolest man in show business along with hardest working! 😉 he’s always so down to earth and has a great heart. It’s fun and interesting listening to and watching him all over the tube. What a stud 👌🏼😎
Thanks, enjoyed the conversation. 👊🏼✌🏻
Hey I live near the Martin factory. I wish I could have met Joe.
I've seen Joe a few times and NEVER been dissatisfied lol, that man truly is the hardest workin' man in show bidness.
This video is awesome!!! Norman is very generous, Joe’s message at the last part of the video is inspiring…
The sound of that orchestra model 🙌🏻
Looks exactly like my 000 28 Eric Clapton signature, AKA the most amazing guitar I've ever owned.
You cant have them all Joe !! :D Congrats to another beautiful one.
Good sounding wood , p up slightly muddy . 62s are scatter wound which gives a deeper, thicker sound, but at the cost of clarity and definition.
Couple of superstars, always a pleasure, thankyou.
And Seymour Duncan is gonna release "Joe Bonamassa Signature 1962 Red Stratocaster Pickups" probably in about three weeks.
Will they be as muddy and poorly defined as actual 62s ?
I wonder what stupid nickname he's going to come up with this time and if it can top the JB "Cradle Rock" set. It's a 62, so I'm guessing the JB Texas Floods.
We love Norm and Joe ...both very humble and sweet souls ... Music binds us together.. thanks for your contributions to this beautiful gift from God ❤.Merry Christmas to you all at Norm's Guitar shop 👍❤️
Joe knows an incredible amount. Not just about how to play the instrument but the history and heritage of them. Very impressive.
Love how he mentions Knopfler immediately!
That Joe Bonamassa signature sg retails for $1400 with Epiphone import pickups in it...ain't no way
I sure wanted to hear more of that sweet sounding Martin
What a shop.... what a bunch of guys shooting the breeze...... what a life..... merry christmas and stay safe..... greetings from down under.
What a class act. Norm and Joe. Pretty Awesome
Even an average player becomes very good when they are working (if your fingers are a little sore, youre not practicing enough if you really want to get good) at the craft but more importantly if you are getting ON STAGE WITH OTHER MUSICIANS. there is something about that that makes you a better player and if you are able to get to a point where you are on stage all the time you can get insanely good.
Very nice to see these two gentlemen talking ... It's a lot of passion for vintage gear out there. ❤
I own a 1940 000-18 all original and it’s the only acoustic I will ever need I inherited it from my MawMaw she received it brand new as a wedding present she and my Pawpaw played and sang bluegrass gospel. Miss them dearly.
Surprising Norm looks like he lost weight a lot since I saw him in person in his store and then on UA-cam. Wish him well.
Joe at Red Rocks is the MOST AMAZING SHOW you'll ever see!! EPIC!!
Once again, Joe beats me to the punch and buys a guitar I had earmarked for my collection.
Can’t wait to finally see him in February in KY 🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻
Love watching these two get together in Norm`s store and talk gats :) x
Bless you guys! Merry Christmas ❤
⚓️ Thanks Jen 🎶 Joe 😎 NORM!!! The cool thing about Joe’s collection… well cared for… curated .. maintained. 🌈
Great video.
Nice to see Joe Pick up a cool Strat.
folks watching this show would never ask for a refund....2 of the good guys !!
Norm!!! Great legacy sir. You make me smile. You found a way to spend your life around guitars without being in Band. Bravo.
