I'm a heavy metal guy but Joe Bonamassa blows my mind in ways no metal guitarist ever could. Complete mastery over the instrument. Amazing talent.

Obviously practice mattets, but 10,000h is 40 hours per week for 10 years. At 10 years old joe was already a better guitarist than I will ever be.

It’s called playing with an ACTUAL melody and feel…not how many shitty notes you can play per second…that dumb shit is forgotten as soon as I hear it…but with REAL guitarists their licks/solos stay with you FOR LIFE

@@timcorbridge6772He is humble and shows his humility too. I’ve been to a couple of his concerts and during one of his amazing solos someone yelled out “You’re the greatest guitarist ever “ and Joe shook his head no and pointed at Josh Smith who plays rhythm guitar at some of Joe’s concerts. In my book they are both incredible musicians! Thank you Joe and Josh for giving me something to aim for! ( Never happen but it’s worth trying)

I wanna say that Norm looks great.

The random Prong sticker on the shelf in the back is AWESOME!!!!!!

Guitar sounds freaking awesome 😮

Always love seeing Joe B., I love this guy, Thanks Norm, for doing fantastic videos, interviews, etc.

I've been wanting to ask that for some time : Who is Jen exactly ? I hear her cheerful voice every time I watch these videos...

Ole Bo jonamassa can play that thang!!

That particular model is the Kay K6700S Artist. The larger model you spoke of was the K8700S Jazz Special. These models were reissued some years ago by the current owner of the Kay name.

Hey Joe - 33 years go by real fast. You’ll be playing when you’re 80.

Love it! Ralph and Norton hamming it up.

Joe's the best! Always interesting, talented and humble.

Ооо и снова Джо, очень приятно видеть его на канале Норма! Здоровья парням и побольше видео с Джо! 🔥👍👍👍

It is so great to see Joe Bonamassa at Norm's. Joe and Norm are so approachable and relaxed, and it is so nice to see Norm, who looking great!

The condition of this guitar is frightening.™️.....right Norm?🎶🎸😮👍

What a beauty guitar! 🎸✔️

Nice that you seem to have a family atmosphere that works well together 👍🏼

Barney Kessel is a total Legend and man that Kay is in such good condition.. My Dommie was a (slightly modded) Seventies 50 watt with the 15" Spider Back, I went back in for my Strat and left with my hair on fire.. These Norm / Joe sit downs are a treat and Wacky Wednesday a great day for it 😎❤.

OMG, Norm is your uncle! So cool! Now i know why you have single handedly scored all the best Les Pauls lol.

Sounds incredible!

I loved hearing Joe when he performed on “Lazy “ with a a whole group of other greats in the studio. If you want to rock out,take a listen to that video,it’s amazing in my opinion. I’m just shy of 80 and I still enjoy hearing them.

What a beautiful guitar, looks and sound

Blues licks blues licks blues licks so impressive. Wouldn't Barney be amazed?

Jen , hello, you’re back, thanks, I love the laugh jen, how’s is the baby and husband, ? Thanks Joe and Norman, thanks BigAl California..

I had the treat of seeing Bruce Foreman and Pat Bergeson play a month ago. Bruce played a 1946 Gibson with a 1938 Charlie Christian pickup that he inherited from Barney. Pat played a Super 4000 inherited from Chet Atkins. Chet kept that guitar at the ready next to his desk at the studio.

One of my best friends long since dead had a Kay the shape of a Les Paul single cut hollow body in a dark tobacco color and he had flat wound stings on it. Didn’t care for the old strings but that was a guitar I loved.

It’s not the “Car” … it’s the “Driver”! 😎

I want joe to play us part of a song that suits the guitar . We all know how great he is . But i want some pretty barney type passages , the way only joe might know . How cool would that be .

I used to have that exact same Dominator amp!!!...It was my first ever amp! Sold it with a Peavey T60 in 1979 for £150! 😭😭😭

You look fantastic Norm!!!!!

I was just watching ‘your nephew’ on his 1941 000-45 mint find. I saw how you looked and, it seriously made me want to fly to Nevada to shake your hand (forget about being in the best guitar shop in the world) as you looked as enibriated as my father did before…. I had thought it was a new video but it was from a year ago. I was quickly buying my ticket just to meet you. I am so happy to see how you look today. Im sure nobody around realizes as they are around you daily. Keep doing whatever you’re doing. Im only buying the ticket now if i make at least 20K more than I need…. If you’re ever in Montreal… reach out. Much respect and KEEP HEALTHY!

Wow nice guitar

Sounds fantastic looks fantastic..... thank you Joe and Norm !!!! P.S Love that amp too !!!

"On June 9, 1975 People magazine published an article titled “The Jaggers” that included the following remark from Mick Jagger who was almost thirty-two years old. Jagger and the Stones have endured at the top longer than any other rock band, but as for the future, Jagger admits that it could all suddenly end. “I only meant to do it for two years. I guess the band would just disperse one day and say goodbye. I would continue to write and sing, but I’d rather be dead than sing Satisfaction when I’m 45.”"

Another great video - Norm look great, Joe is killer good! from SE Texas Bear

That thing is gorgeous!

I am so happy to see you guys. Branch out into different rare guitars. I mean stratocasters, telecasters and Gibson. Les Pauls Are not exactly rare. Certain models are, but not all of them. I really appreciate you covering these kind Of hot balls.

‘55 Melita bridge $425. (Used) 55 Kelvinator side by side Food-A-Rama $3000. (restored)

Wow that guitar sounds really good ...tinny sound

The guitar has the styling of a good 56-57 Chevy... Joe is a funny guy lately.. sure is a good-looking guitar

Sounds great. A quick riff in position 1 or 2 reminded me of the Dominos “Tell the Truth” a song I frequently play around with sans Duane Allman’s unforgettable slide work.

Pops Staples Had A Kay Guitar N The Early Years Of The Staple Singers

Slim Harpo-like vibrato tones.🎶🎸👍

I had a 53 Gretsch Streamliner with a Melita bridge. It was nice to adjust the intonation on the fly.

To everyone bitching and moaning about Joe and Norm constantly talking over one another during these *Guitar of the Day* videos, I say to you, *"Just dont watch their videos together if it bothers you so much!"* These two have been interacting this way for a long time, and if either one of them was truly bothered about how the other person was acting I'm positive that they would have said something to the other *A LONG TIME AGO!* *NEITHER* Joe Bonamassa nor Norman Harris are particularly shy about expressing their opinions, and they genuinely seem to treasure one another's company. *As far as Joe playing whatever guitar he happens to be holding in his hands over top of someone who's speaking to him just remember that he's NEVER been shy about admitting that he's.....* *#1,* a huge nerd. *#2,* suffers tremendously from serious ADHD. *#3,* is in all likelihood on the high-functioning end of the autism spectrum. *#4,* plays a guitar while being interviewed as a form of both expressing himself as a person, and as a coping mechanism. *For myself, I find Joe's talking and playing over top of someone else's speech just as annoying as I'm sure everyone who complains about it does. That being said, I learned a long time ago when first attending 12-step meetings, that not only am I not perfect, but that when it comes to anyone else's idiosyncrasies and faults, I had best be tolerant and forgiving because they deserve my tolerance and forgiveness just as much as I do/did for all those times that I managed to piss someone off while I have navigated my way through life.* *Whenever I watch a Joe Bonamassa interview, especially these Guitar of the Day videos for Norman's Rare Guitars, I remind myself that I don't possess one, one-millionth of Joe Bonamassa's abilities and talent, and that his idiosyncrasies are a SMALL PRICE to pay for GOD allowing me to witness what Joe so freely shares with the world.*

Speaking of parts - Hofner tailpiece looks just right

Has Samantha Fish been in Norman's, if so what episode?

I’ll be seeing you Oct 30 Mr Bonamassa, Aqua Caliente. I’m begging, please don’t cancel, or reschedule I’ve been waiting so long for my 1st Bonamassa concert.

Couldn't Norm find something to do for a minute so we could hear Joe play?

I had had one some years ago that was like brand new. The guy I bought it from bought it new and never really got into playing guitar - It literally sat under his bed for 40 years before I purchased it. The case was mint, case candy ... Ultimately sold it - Cool to look at but needed a neck set, etc. 'Did make a nice profit, though. 😀

Arte deco headstock vintage Gibson esque sunburst. More affordable way into the vintage market..a blues guitar with a gritty edge harmionically fuzzy and lovely analogue early break up. True blues history in the sophistication and tone.

Whos runnin the camera? Jen??

Bella/Linda.💰✡️✡️✡️✡️✡️✡️

Why no reverb or vibrato? 4 guitars for a 53 Fender amp.? Laminated woods?

You could plug a table lamp into the Watkins and it would sound great.

Crazy delay or reverb or whatever but great sound

Bet he got the Martin good vid

Don't get me wrong, I love Joe but,,,,, put the guitar down when you're being asked questions or turn the volume off!! It's a bug!!!

I think the bridge pickup needs to come up closer to the strings

Why do I get the feeling that when (God forbid...) Norm passes, Joe is going to become the owner of Norman's Rare Guitars, and eventually, he'll be selling all of the guitars he bought from Norm?

I think with a little more practice, Norm’s nephew will go places.

He's just played a k and still has fingers left!...that's a first for me 😂

Why did Joey have to play with that heavy tremolo? Was he purposely trying to distract the listeners from his playing?
