  • Our regular customer Jonathan Stout came back and played our 1929 Gibson L-5 for us. He really can play these amazing arch top guitars that we have here at Norman's Rare Guitars! Do you guys agree?

      All music is "real" cuz all have different tones and sounds and just different feelings conveyed ...

      Nick Newman im not saying that he doesnt, im just saying that all music is real should be judged by the people that like it

    • @chrismetzler8049
      @chrismetzler8049 6 років тому +1

      Did Duke Ellington compose/play/lead "real music"? In a common quote ascribed to Duke, he supposedly said "There are two types of music: good music and bad music. I like both kinds." He was (unsurprisingly) on the right track.
      If it sounds good to you, it's good.

    I have a mid '20s L-3 and while a different design from this 'box' (no f- holes) it has it's own personality. The best part is how wide the fretboard is to articulate these chords and the action is great.

    It had a family guy feel to it. But on a more important note. That is one of the most beautiful guitars I've ever seen. Found an awesome looking 1936 Martin R-18 arch top at the flea market at the Rose Bowl last week and I've been infatuated with acoustic arch tops since. Guy was asking $1,800. Not in good shape but beautiful. I want an arch top so bad.

    @nancychace8619 4 роки тому

    Nice video. Beautiful guitar, love the tone. Excellent playing. I wonder what his criteria was to select the one he did out of the others? Always nice to hear someone playing a good instrument who really knows how to play it, but I'd never underestimate the value, ability and importance of a better quality instrument to inspire one of lesser ability to keep striving and learning. Not that a beginner should always go out and buy the most expensive thing, but trying to learn on something with the strings falling off can be counter productive. That beautiful tone is something to aspire to -

      Um not really. Schools jazz bands always pick songs as old as this... What did you think school jazz bands are playing? Punk rock music? 😂 although School jazz bands will do rock blues tunes, and some funk stuff, along with a lot of Latin jazz stuff...
