This is the first time I've seen a shop asking someone to play in front of their establishment, and even giving them a guitar. Incredible stuff - well done.
We (my mom and I) are deeply moved and in tears for this beautiful act of love. We know Roberto for years. We’ve enjoyed his performances always “playing for the songs”, never showing off. We’ve seen him everywhere playing in San Fernando Valley. He is a very talented and kind man. He helped his poor family in Mexico even sent his son and daughter to University playing music in the street. One of those stories. What example !!! even through the saddens of lost a son in Washington a few years ago due to a random act of violence. Let’s help Robert !!!!! He is a good man.
Dan, if you can help me, would be splendid to really bless Roberto. Let's plan a big surprise for Roberto, shall we? How can I get in touch with you, Instagram????
Roberto is a real life musician. He's not doing it for fame, he doesn't want to be famous. He just plays music for the love of it. The way he picked up that Telecaster and in seconds made it his instrument, that's what it's all about. He deserves this guitar in every way. Well done Jack and Norman's Rare Guitars for their generosity. God bless you, Roberto.
@@philfrank9226 Ordinarily I might agree, but with all the hate and intolerance being shoved down our throats daily it was nice to see an act of kindness for a change. Maybe we need more of this...
@@philfrank9226 Norm is a businessman most and foremost, i think that's a good advertisement to his shop. And they gave the man an expensive gift that will help him to his street playing earn more money. You don't have to be nasty 😕
@@pangs3798 Muhammad ALi gave much money to poor people, but mostly not in front of cameras, and that`s honest to me, and not to emphasize in every second word, how expensive the guitar is.But as you said Norm is a business man.
Beautiful to see there is still people like Roberto, like Jack, like the person who gifted Jack a guitar and like Norman. World needs more people like them.
There is a young lady that takes lessons at a music store where I shop you could see the potential in her playing she had a acoustic guitar that the strings were 9 miles off the neck so her mom was trying to save up the money to buy her a new guitar electric guitar so I have so many and a lot of the guys that I jammed with when I first started playing, gave me stuff that they were not using anymore and thought that I would love so I have so many guitars and as we all know times are rough right now, so for Christmas, I gave the young lady one of my guitars to pay it forward just like everything that was done for me and watching your video brought back those warm memories of giving her that guitar. Thank you very much Norm.
I just want to say that Roberto is my generation type of guitar player whose play is clean 60s/70s pops and SO clean! TY Roberto you guys at Norms always come up with such great ways as you say “to pay forward.”Jack, God just smiled and the Angels just sang. No, it’s not your time yet Jack!
Roberto knows just when to make the strings ring a little longer or shorter..this is decades of playing...very talented for sure ..thanks Norm and Jack for gifting this man a quality guitar that he can enjoy for many years to come ..
I was walking up to the store when this was happening. It was incredible to see such a great act of generosity as my first thing I see visiting Norm's from the UK
I don't even have words for how cool this is. Especially in the crazy times we live in and with all the toxicity and anger, total respect for being a kind human being.
Roberto plays like an angel, simply beautiful. What a wonderful gesture by Jack gifting that wonderful guitar and Norm for having Roberto play in front of his store. We need more acts of kindness in this world, well done!!
I've played in local cover bands for 30 years, in various venues, and this guy is so good that he should be playing in a band somewhere! He's so smooth! God bless him!
You can tell Norman and Jack have huge hearts and their faces show kindness, well done to you two classy decent human beings and congratulations to Roberto...well deserved and he plays the guitar beautifully 🙏❤
That was just beautiful, I have tears in my eyes. Roberto's style is so relaxing, I find it hard to believe people like this are playing on the street and not in a studio.💖
Roberto was able to play that Tele and immediately get amazing tones and phrasing like he’d been playing it for years. The mark of a master musician - so much talent!
Legend. His touch, his feel, his tone. Love this so much. Well done boys, I could listen to him play all day every day. He played that guitar immediately like it was his. I bet this guy could play a shoe string and make it sound good.
Well you have this grandpa in tears, what a beautiful act of kindness. How appropriate he is playing “killing me softly with his song” he plays amazing guitar. Thanks for sharing, Jack
Back in the early 80’s I worked for a sound company out of Cleveland we travelled all over the states mostly with rock bands and just did a few shows in NYC with George Benson who was a class guy Roberto just has that same touch
Norm and Jack, it's people like you that make the music industry so special, that was one hell of a beautiful gesture! I buy old guitars, effects and amps, send the guitars to my guitar tech so he can work his magic while I clean up the amps and effects then I donate them to the foundation named after the gentleman who's picture is behind Roberto. It's become a rewarding hobby to say the least.
Roberto has such beautiful touch and feel, his palming and vibrato is flawless. If ever there was a guitar player that deserved a great guitar it’s Roberto- awesome job fellas
It was a very beautiful gesture. Congratulations on the contribution you made in the life of this exceptional musician. I am here in Brazil accompanying each one of you... 🇧🇷🇧🇷👽👽❤️❤️ Rodrigo
That you've asked him to come to play in front of your store says two things to me: That you're a really nice person and that Roberto is a very talented guitar player. And now this... Wow... This is how the world should be. Thanks for what you did and most importantly, thanks for being what you are...
Hello Norm, Glad to see your health is progressing well. I just wanted to say that you folks are really something special, You guys get it, always so willing to pay it forward with out asking for anything in return. In a world filled with hate, despair and anguish, your actions let us know there is still hope in the world. You and your team are always such a fun loving bunch of kind hearted people. People such as yourselves make this world a better place. I can't say thank you enough. Enjoy your day, keep up the great work you Guyz are doing. PS, lemmo is the Man.....peace bruthu.
What an extremely kind gesture to a talented artists such as Roberto. What he needs, is a UA-cam channel were he's able to stream live for several hours a day. I for one would love hear him play. He'd be able to pick up tips and be making a living by what he loves doing the most and that is playing music for all of us to enjoy. Because the world needs to experience Roberto's talent. Could someone help him setup a UA-cam channel?
You chaps are bloody marvellous. That was a very kind wonderful gesture. The look on his face was awesome, I can imagine how happy you made him,even brought a tear to my eyes. It’s great to see an act of real kindness is these grim times.
Just one more reason the guys and gals at Norms are amazing!! Roberto has such a smooth style. I could listen to this gentleman all day! He deserves this guitar! Well done!
First off Roberto's playing was so beautiful I was starting to tear up. And when Jack gifted the guitar to Roberto, I got a lump in my throat and the tears really flowed. God bless Norm for allowing Roberto to play in front of his shop where Roberto is truly appreciated and especially Jack for gifting a top-of-the-line Tele to Roberto. This video made my day. Makes me proud to be a guitar player amongst first class fellows like Roberto, Norm and Jack.
What a beautiful act of kindness Jack. I've always believed that it's not what you take out of life that counts but what you can give and put back into it. The smile on Roberto's face when he looked up at you towards the end of the video says it all. Well done mate!
What a beautiful moment! Such a nice gift to a very good guitar player and a nice person as Roberto seems to be. This is the beauty of music really, the community that keeps on giving ❤
That's awesome Jack! I love it when musicians look out for one another like this. Roberto is very talented, tip the man if you see him playing. One last thing, please let Roberto play on a 'Guitar of the Day', that would be extra awesome!
That was so awesome guys! Most guitar shops would probably chase people away from the front of their stores, but you encouraged and recognized how talented Roberto is, I don't think I've ever seen that before, bravo Norm's.
A fantastic gesture from the guys at Norms! Wow! And well deserved Roberto - you play so tasefully. Love it! A huge UP to Jack for donating this beautiful Tele. You guys Rock!
Beautiful absolute beautiful! There really is nothing else that needs to be said. For this guy to do that for this man and for Norman to support it and show love is first class my friend first class.
Roberto is KILLIN' it !!!! He's SO good. Roberto asking if he can play it there at 7:00 is a show of humility that only a person with gratitude would question.
Jack your kindness to Roberto touched me deeply. You and Norm are ALLSTARS!! God bless all three of you and hopefully Roberto can make some money as he is very talented guitarist. You make the world a better place.
Norm does so much for the guitar community. Not just for all the customers that come into the store, for the guys that he hires that go on to do great things, but for everyone and for all. Amazing video and amazing guitar playing from Roberto!
Just saw this for the first time, this is so great! Just paying it forward is what it’s about and the music, of course. This man has the touch, love the way he caresses those notes, and the tone is fantastic!
Awesome that you guys did that; what a feel-good story. As a busker from years ago, I love seeing this happen to him! (I once got a $20 tip and I still remember that one! 😄) I Just sent Roberto a tip on Venmo and he sent me a thank you right away! Hello to Norman's from Seattle. 😍
I don’t play music, but I know quality when I hear it. Roberto’s style is beautiful. And Norman’s generosity is equally beautiful. Thanks for warming so many hearts! ❤🎸
Right. It's a beauty ..my man just thinking a guitar..eh....it will have stickers on it soon .not realizing it's value ..but it's his ..and he sure plays great
Wow, the guitar just sings with his playing. What a wonderful act of generosity, giving the gift of music so Roberto can continue gifting others as well with his musicianship.
would love to sit and listen to him play all day long. Very soulful player. Kudos on the gifting it forward. That guitar will be played and treated with the love and respect it deserves. Keep playing Norman!!
Roberto is an amazing "gifted" player, touch and feel for the dynamics of the song, like a pro at any level. And Jack, just a regular guy giving a USA Tele to this man = Awesome Kindness Rewards Here and In Heaven 😇
This is just another reason I love the Guitar and music community. Getting along and helping each other. Norman you're successful because you help others be successful ❤️👍
I wished to be in US and to live moments like these.. To be and work in a store like Norman's..46 years as a salesman and repairman in Athens Greece I never seen hearts like yours guys.. That's why the tears in my eyes.. Thank you for this moment
I love the. musical accomplishments of the US but I never would want to live there. It's the richest 3rd world country based on fear despite of this act of kindness.
@@narvul We have a whole lot of good things going on, too. Just the small percentage that is bad is all that makes the news. We get the same about every other country, too. The vast majority of the population is not represented in the media. I think it's because we love drama. Gets good ratings.
@@narvul It's a huge safe country with most of it unpopulated or sparsely populated. All you hear about is a handful of over populated centers that have criminality in their cities.
This is incredible. Kindness goes a long way. How often is it that someone does something this special without expecting anything in return? This made me smile and I’m sure it will make others smile as well
This is the first time I've seen a shop asking someone to play in front of their establishment, and even giving them a guitar. Incredible stuff - well done.
👏🏻👍🏻🤝
JACK GAVE THE MUSITION THE GUITAR, NOT NORM!
@@heres2ya still it was a pay it forward initiative by the shop. Other shops normally shout at such musicians to go make noise somewhere else.
Long Live Norm!
👍👍
We (my mom and I) are deeply moved and in tears for this beautiful act of love.
We know Roberto for years. We’ve enjoyed his performances always “playing for the songs”, never showing off.
We’ve seen him everywhere playing in San Fernando Valley. He is a very talented and kind man. He helped his poor family in Mexico even sent his son and daughter to University playing music in the street. One of those stories. What example !!! even through the saddens of lost a son in Washington a few years ago due to a random act of violence.
Let’s help Robert !!!!! He is a good man.
Thank you for sharing this information about Roberto! Love his playing 👍 Awesome & kind for Norm & Jack, hope God blesses you guys greatly!
Amen God bless you abundantly💥💖🙏🙏🙏

Hope no one steals the guitar from him on the street
@@slimturnpike It is a concern.
@@slimturnpike ... I hope a bus hits the thief... and then the guitar magically jumps back onto Robertos loving arms.
Well said.
God bless Norman, Jack and Roberto 🙏🎸
Roberto needs his own UA-cam channel, he is really good! Could listen for hours to that tone.
He definitely needs his own channel , his smooth soft style is amazing.
Verdade, eu poderia ouvir a tarde toda muito lindo, Deus abençoe a todos.
100
It’s so relaxing listening to him play, very good, thank you.
His tone like something that play in hgh class dining place, something that soothing to ear, soft sound yet so enjoyable to hear it....
In this screwed up world, watching stuff like this makes me teary eyed…God Bless ALL of you guys!❤
Me too😢

Haven't seen him in a video in a while. Looks like he lost weight and is quite pale here. Hope he's healthy.
That was just beautiful, I have tears in my eyes. Roberto's style is so relaxing, I find it hard to believe people like this are playing on the street and not in a studio.💖
Especially when you hear the crap that the media tries to peddle as music these days.
Not as hard to believe as the people who ARE in the studio

I love the. musical accomplishments of the US but I never would want to live there. It's the richest 3rd world country based on fear despite of this act of kindness.
@@narvul We have a whole lot of good things going on, too. Just the small percentage that is bad is all that makes the news. We get the same about every other country, too. The vast majority of the population is not represented in the media. I think it's because we love drama. Gets good ratings.
@@narvul America is the greatest country.
@@narvul It's a huge safe country with most of it unpopulated or sparsely populated. All you hear about is a handful of over populated centers that have criminality in their cities.

Beautiful. Beautiful gesture of kindness!
Wow. That is nice! Giving him a guitar is an amazing gesture of love and kindness. And he plays so well!! The world needs more love and giving!!
Great act of kindness. Love and music is the universal language of the world. Beautiful playing Roberto.
This is incredible. Kindness goes a long way. How often is it that someone does something this special without expecting anything in return? This made me smile and I’m sure it will make others smile as well
