This is wonderful. Please continue to shine the spotlight on those beautiful old archtops and guys like these, who know how to operate them.

[@jonlennon3348]

Very elegant guitar playing, true masters.

[@ivanmay7890]

Those are some wonderful Gibson guitars

[@thomasnettleton289]

Absolutely wonderful. I echo the sentiment ..please continue to highlight the incredibly beautiful archtops you have in the store. That Wes Montgomery L-5 sounds fantastic! Thanks Norm and Jen and thanks to Mitch and Eddie for a mini-concert and clinic. 😀👍👍

[@thomassawicki2065]

I have a 2012 Wes Montgomery L5 . It sounds marvelous, "The Jazz Tone" pours out of it, and they are awesome to behold in person,

[@ronlight7013]

That L-5 has the sweetest jazz tone I've ever heard!!! Pickups . . . guitar body . . . amp . . . or Mitch?

[@robertrobles4028]

I studied guitar with Eddie Atkin way back. He’s an amazing musician, educator, and great human being!

[@baronvontourettes]

Beautiful playing and beautiful guitars.

[@TN-D18]

Great sounds for a Sunday morning. Thx Norm.

[@WayneMemphisMojo]

I'm gonna watch this 100's of times & copy ALL these licks & comp. positions!

Impeccable......👌👏👍🎸🦫🇺🇸

[@SingSurfStrum]

What incredible musical sensibility. Best video to date. Thsnk you

[@fooll]

Totally enjoyed... So nice to see and hear the ES350-T.

[@bobholt105]

Beautiful!

[@tedgay8427]

That was a treat! I may be a southern rock/outlaw style player, but Mitch Holder has been one of my three favorites--Robbie Robertson and Dickey Betts being the others--for many years. Have him sit down with his ES-357 (aka the "ES-Mitch") sometime. So many licks to steal there. Thanks Norm!

[@richfiryn]

Whew that was killer. Great guitarists, great guitars, great amps. Great !!

[@MrStranger1944]

I can dig it!

[@lauramoore9659]

Hi Norm & Mitch & Eddie & EVVVVVVERYONE! I used to LOVE MELROSE PLACE & BEV HILLS 90210!!! I STILLLLL LOVE 1977 ESPECIALLY MAY 8

[@onthe1481]

Laura Moore---:-))

[@ovalwindow]

Such a joy listening to these virtuosos. Love your channel, Norm!

[@onthe1481]

Colin Burnham ---woah easy on throwing that word around virtuoso. Takes away from the guitar players who actually are virtuosos. Glad you liked it though, so did I "but they are not virtuoso's"

[@ovalwindow]

Curtis John Cole - Dictionary describes ‘virtuoso’ as “ a person highly skilled in music or another artistic pursuit.” To my mind, these are two highly-skilled guitarists who together produced a highly-refined performance. Less is more etc...

[@MattyK-USA]

Oh man, this was just sooo good! How can you not love jazz? Reunion 4, here I come...

[@reunion4871]

[@OzziePete1]

What's the maximum weight limit of using a Fender amp as a seat, Norman?

[@rickjason215]

I wonder how much playing on strange instruments affect their playing?

[@chaz32]

it really depends on how immediately comfortable and familiar that particular instrument feels to the player. Several of the guitars I've bought felt like old friends when I picked them up.

[@3cardmonty602]

Wow - Tim Pierce got really old really fast.

[@robgreene1776]

Dig.

[@raffyzoo2130]

i kinda got lost in the music...uh, cud y'all play another one please?

[@Anthony-qb2gr]

It would have been nice if somebody would've played along with them on drums..

[@Trev9]

[@gonzo5912]
