Norm goes shopping at the Orange County Guitar Show 2017

Here's a video of Jen following Norm around the Orange County Guitar Show! Norm goes to Nerville and talks with Joe Bonamassa about his collection he brought to the show. He gambles for a book, finds a model wearing our hoodie and shows off some of the guitars he bought! Make sure to stop by the store to see all the goodies from the show!

[@rustylanier]

Joe seems like a real cool approachable guy. Not many folks of his caliber would be at a public show like this just hanging out, sharing his stash and mingling with people. Real stand up guy!

[@derekjackson1039]

rustylanier he's a great player sometimes a too refined for me but man he wins me over with his love of guitars and music history

[@billville111]

Norm's the kind of guy that you would enjoy paying double for a guitar and then get home and ask yourself "what did I just do?"

[@pozzobasso]

Charity starts at home. You're a good man Joe Bonamassa. Best of luck!

[@559rideordie]

Joe Makes money making music still puts a cardboard sign selling t shirts for $20 love it

[@MrGavinspoppop]

yeah .... loved that !!!

[@colinhowse999]

Dylan Tkagut w

[@stageb2233]

I'd buy the sign! haha.

[@minos8036]

and michelle sells sea shells by the sea shore for $10 love it

[@bonhamhouse1169]

Dylan, does he really need a fancy sign for that?

[@VintageLeftyGuitars]

love the random stories you get from these videos

[@jasonstone8587]

Love Bonamassa love his old school approach to his music , great guy great music

[@DRealFatguy]

I had no idea so happy b day Norm. I love all the videos especially when you are out buying guitars. Having Joe in the video is just a plus.

[@HeROsiNhEaVeN]

Well....I definitely enjoyed it!...Thanks for sharing Norm, Joe and Jen!

[@LiterallyJesusChrist]

I love Joe Bonamossa more and more as he gets older. He's turned into a really nice and cool guy.

[@ferramirez4570]

Good Guy Joe! still humble and down to earth! gotta love this guy!

[@rotorhead58d]

Norm and Joe seem so nice and genuine.

[@diesel719]

Happy Birthday Norm ! Thanks for another great episode...!

[@bobl2632]

Joe, Norm, you guys are awesome! Thanks for sharing. I know a handful of chords and still play my '72 SG Deluxe I've had since 76. Playing guitar is like sex. You don't have to be good to enjoy it.

[@wildbill7]

Just cant get enough of your vids Norm; here's hoping ( from here in Belfast) I can come to the shop in person sometime. Note to self: leave the credit card at home that day!

[@twinsmm1]

About 5 years ago, went to one of those _"Come to the Holiday Inn this Saturday and we'll buy your old and vintage musical instruments"_ shows with a buddy of mine. He had an ES-125 DC (fat body, double pickup, cutaway) just like the one here only it was a few years older and _not_ like new. The sides had 1 or 2 cracks (nothing too bad). He sold it to them for $700.

[@tooties545]

When Bonamassa redecorates his bathroom he's gonna put frets on the toilet seat.

[@bangermccrusher]

Achilles could be fretless though...

[@tooties545]

JoshMetal316 But then that would ruin the joke, wouldn't it?

[@bangermccrusher]

Achilles too late I already lol'd hard

[@bobl2632]

And a tailpiece for the flush handle. Only fitting for a toilet.....

[@tooties545]

Bob L Maple with dot inlays, or...?

[@dwebster50]

Norman ...Happy Birthday from Canada ... Joe B is amazing player and only from America could you find such beautiful vintage guitars .....Thanks for posting and great people hereCheers Alberta Dave

[@chriscoleman6358]

Norm you make dreams come true. Such wonderful blessings

[@auntjenifer7774]

Norm would have to argue that and say no he doesn't make dreams come true he make some money

[@russ02281990]

pedestrian stuff...... that must mean stuff for us mere mortals. ☺

[@billville111]

the unwashed masses. . . I'm playing a Mexican Strat. . .

[@TheDaddy135]

I love Joe Bonamassa, but quite often when not onstage he has this look like he just farted and you are walking up to him. :)

[@ankerguitar]

hahahahaa

[@bangermccrusher]

TheDaddy135 lol wtf!

[@trappenweisseguy27]

He looks like he was up all night snorting white lines.

[@bonhamhouse1169]

Tox, nerdville white guy blues.

[@ianashworth1101]

All overpriced hyped up nonsense! I have owned some old Strats. All pretty much ordinary guitars. Nothing special. I would rather have an 80's Kramer Baretta. In flip flop blue of course!

[@IantaylorCanuck]

There's a fine line between collecting and hoarding!

[@subzero308]

Exactly these people r hoarders... Guitars should be played not kept in the case and never played.

[@PaulManningg]

I hate Joe Bonamasa. I wish there was a KZbin setting to block anything that has his goofy face

[@Burps___]

Norm's one of those guys that gets better and better looking he older he gets.

[@rondobondo6600]

You really can tell that Norm and Joe are really close friend's .... It's really cool to just watch these guys ramble on ...... Love your show Norm 😁 🍻 cheers

[@waitaminute7257]

Had to go back and check out that Feels so Good solo again after all these years. Yes sir that was some tasty playing alright. Hadn't heard that in years.

[@catmandu8813]

I want that SG. Wow. Beautiful guitars... Thx for sharing.

[@andrewkang6937]

The guy creepin' behind Norm and Joe (3:33) is my favorite part of this video.

[@philwilson2587]

Joel is the heart, soul and twisted carbuncle of this channel!

[@fishhooks100]

That's great! Enjoyed!

[@rockyland8895]

HI Joe, I Understand too well about having to sell a guitar to pay rent. I had to sell my Deluxe Gold top from the early 70's And I was never able to replace it because every time I started to the price went up and I settled for something else. I'm VERY Proud of you Man and I Love your Music.

[@f1s2hg3]

Joe and Norm are in guitar heaven!

[@jeffreymorris11]

I came across Norman's Rare Guitars KZbin Channel, mid-2017. Now I am a subscriber and regular viewer. This is top draw KZbin, profiling talent from pre-teens to veterans. 250,000 subscribers likely by summer 2019, will be well deserved. (Sent from a subscriber living in British Isles)

[@brucealcoriza1606]

I wish there's a lot more famous people like JB in this world who cares about others especially the homeless people, that is just so kind and generous thing to do. The world we live in today, it's just so sad that we have more than enough greedy, selfish and self-centered people...God bless Joe Bonamassa for caring and doing this humanitarian thing for the needy.

[@kenbash2951]

Joe is just a great guy from Upstate NY. Very midwestern feel in Upstate. Decent, honest, no attitude, real people and Joe is all of that.

[@ryangunwitch-black]

I love Joe and Norm.

[@bakerXderek]

Norm i'm making it a mission to visit your store and hopefully pick me up a nice strat. I love what you do and i'm in San Bernardino so i'm not too far. Keep doing you brother !

[@PC160]

Happy Birthday Norm!

[@georgegoff2550]

Beautiful merchandise. Thanks

[@CarlCulpepper]

Happy Birthday, Norm!

[@Killenmachine05]

5:40 look how excited that kid is to see his hero

[@Yirmyah]

Joe is so awesome

[@deadlegs187]

This video is dead sweet. You guys seem like best friends

[@ClarenceHW]

Hilarious.. Joe is so funny. Thanks Norm & Jen.

[@ripplebear]

We're always lucky. Having a guitar at all is a freakin bonus! 😁

[@cccmusicality]

Stop Bar tailpiece drawer handle, omg that's awesome.

[@tims4768]

Joe and Norm are 2 ultra grounded great guys. America is in short supply of guys like these.

[@filippredin2063]

That 67' Maple Cap Neck Blonde Tele is my dream. Fav Tele!

[@stephenquail3168]

Nice.Lots of goodies.

[@hollyblessing9182]

This is awesome :)

[@Amazology]

Joe Bonamassa - you ARE fuckin' nuts! In a very very cool way. The world is very much a richer place for having you in it.

[@sharkamov]

Norm's got the stuff!👍🎸 😉⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@triplesevensix291]

Great stuff Norm lad. Cheers big ears. ;)

[@robstrange]

Great video!

[@glassslide]

Thats awesome.

[@americanarmor6698]

pedestrians,& nuckleheads we r to norm.

[@dogwood8031]

Joe has worked his ass off. He deserves all his success.

[@jonnyhafer6279]

just think you could buy a home for a family with each one of those guitars. kinda hard as a past collector i get it, but at the same time in my life now i get more joy from helping others out. I have two pre cbs fenders one jag with orginals one jag with burst buckers 63 and 63

[@HarryStoneDotCom]

Joe is a hero!

[@marcstanford5857]

Harry Stone why is he a hero? I've been watching the guy since he's 12. He's a great guitarist and very awkward. Why is he a hero?

[@kxmrock]

the amount of guitars Norm stocks~ "CHERRY" 50's & 60's blow's me away... well, that's the business he's in so He's the Man

[@The10000lbGorilla]

I like the ashtray covers over the Strat bridges, never seen that before.

[@tooties545]

The10000lbGorilla late 50s early 60s

[@f1s2hg3]

Grant Is one of the best and maybe best player playing today

[@AMPSHOWS]

pretty cool day. I had fun!

[@chriscoleman6358]

Norm much respect

[@MrGTO-ze7vb]

LOL... Joe B is a funny guy.. Very Coooooooool.. Love that Les Paul SG...!!

[@jeffmason5707]

want the 1961 J45 if my lottery ticket comes up this weekend

[@ParkerOsmon]

Norm owns a time machine!

[@bryangulledge]

Love the Joel W photo bomb. That dudes a character

[@grendelsloth9950]

Norm seems like such a gentleman

[@Cyrus_Hays]

I like Joe's "Straight Outta Compton" T-Shirt!!

[@andrewjackson4422]

Thanks Norm I've become a regular watcher of Norm's Rare Guitars. You've introduced me to Joe Bonomasson and others that stir the blood. I have a guitar and a ukulele and can play neither. Can we get the Norm's Rare Guitars tops in the UK? Grant was right, Norm's got the stuff.

[@devenkohler8342]

The guy in the back at 3:35 😂😂 hell nah

[@jj3978]

FUN AND GAMES.

[@fonkamex]

You are a good guy Joe

[@grandnaguszek7417]

Good stuff!

[@rockyland8895]

WOW Norm, Send me an extra large t shirt and you WON'T have to hire me to wear it. I can't wait to see your store. I'm saving money first BEFORE I come.

[@jonyarredondo8980]

I was watching your video and I like guitars

[@StratsRgreat]

Great post as always. I think Malmsteen buys the similar Strats as Joe but gets or makes them scalloped necks...if I recall correctly. The Coral sitar was cool...I guess you didn't buy that? Do they even make those anymore?

[@motokev2727]

I think Joe and I could get along purty well. What he doesn't mention, his guitar/amp buying is his 401K. He's not stupid.

[@jimistheman9732]

"We need a lot of pedestrian stuff" = "guitars for you low lifes who come by my store and can't spend $250K".

[@richardgoldman8761]

Jim is the man You mean Norm’s Rare Guitars has stuff as cheap as $2,000?

[@pvtlehto]

@@richardgoldman8761 I hope so, I'm going in soon

[@leonardmichael6168]

Joe PLEASE come back to Australia WE NEED YOU & your beautiful Guitar Playing Thanks Front Row Fan Perth WA

[@acegibson9533]

Joe........get some adult supervision. lol lol lol lol

[@e.l.norton]

Joe has to be the most accessible and "regular guy" celebrity guitar player who has ever been. He's a guitar guy first and foremost.

[@funeralbillii9172]

Saw the title and figured I'd get to see Norm walking the floor and we'd see some cool guitars...NOPE, just Norm blowing Joe, again.

[@subzero308]

Yeah I was hoping to see some awesome guitars instead he's just talking.

[@WileECoyotey]

The most I ever spent on guitar is $500 for a 76 Les Paul in 1990 .. that was a lot of money back then .

[@par4ezTroy]

Chuck Mangione - Feels So Good refernce!! Seriously!!??!!! Chuck Mangione is why I started playing trumpet in fourth grade (c.1975) Well,....Feels So Good, and guitar wasn't available at my school. By the way, I still have that Getzen trumpet sitting in it's case right next to my guitar collection. \m/

[@billy38010]

I may be wrong, but, the "Beach Boys," had Arctic White Guitars,...and, those are all Olympic White!

[@Phoenix_cataclysm_in_2040]

Everybody wanting to buy a guitar after seeing Norm: we have no hope. 😔

[@shanestritch7578]

Norm top man

[@VintageLeftyGuitars]

i bet hes got 500K in that money bag... prolly more knowing him

[@imaseeker100]

guess he earned it practicing since he was 4.

[@archieweeks2827]

At 5:50 the kid in the back looks stunned 😂

[@BingerBoo]

Archie Weeks Ok

[@kenton6098]

Joe’s looking around like he’s afraid someone is trying to sneak up on him.

[@tahamadi748]

hahaa this guy is such a creep 03:27 & 15:00 lol

[@anthonyfxbb9040]

Taha Madi looks like joel...norms luthier!

[@ieldepiel]

Thats jordan, norms son

[@Fret01]

Joe was talking about Nerdville and that stranger in the background making faces. He should have moved his eyebrows up and down while making those faces. ROTFLMAO!

[@Dos_Ultra]

I lol'ed chief

[@philwilson2587]

Fret01 Joel the luthier

[@dhaniOliver]

That tele.. damnn

[@OFR]

14:33 Those late 62 ebony block SLes Paul G's have never been reissued, They have a better tremolo than the earlier 61 and 62s and look cool as hell - only about 6 months of those produced. KILLER guitar....

[@jazzguitarwithandy]

imagine how much Joe B's house insurance costs!

[@MrSHAUN9965]

No problem with his vision lolol 🎸🎸🎸

[@joefairweatherblues8511]

Wonder what happened to the SG Elvis played in one of his movies, Viva Las Vegas? That'd be worth something, Norm,😉👍

[@b-sideplank]

OMG! When I saw that signboard in a recent Reverb.com video on Joe I thought they made it up in computer. So, it's not computer graphics!!

[@trollfiddler]

Beautiful stuff there. Send that 335 to Ireland please :)

[@Chargerd77]

that es-125 tho !! 😍

[@Illinois-Wildlife-Encounters]

Hi Norm!
