So brilliant to see that America still has sane people,👍.

Norm’s a pro. Leland Sklar walks in, yet Norm doesn’t break customer engagement. Respect!

Thanks for stopping by!

Cool place. Looks like most people in there are unaware of the bass guitar legend walking amongst them.😁

I’d have been freaking out if I’ve seen you there Mr. Sklar🎉

I love Normans, I started going to him back when he was on Sherman Way or Saticoy. Whenever I’m back In the valley I have 2 stops , Bea’s Bakery in Tarzana and then drive down Ventura blvd to Norman’s before heading back home to San Luis Obispo. Tell Norm hi and glad to see he’s doing well, Mr Sklar great video as always. Oh and up here we have a great shop Called Lightning Joes in Arroyo Grande.

Norm looks good. I've been coming to his channel for a while now. He's lost some weight and he just looks healthy as hell. All the best to everyone out there.

I am humbled by this visit Lee. Like yourself, Norm is a legend. Good to see Norm is doing well!! Thanks Lee!

Holy Mother of God - those amps - and every guitar a treasure!

I like how the one dude just goes about with his sanding work

Nice tour thanks Lee.

Have not seen this shop as your have shown it nicely done

Norms is a throwback. Harkining back too a time when Retailers would completely Doll up their premises with accessible and interactive product and All easily seen with expansive room too enjoy. For a musician its a DisneyLand,Cedar Point and World Class Arcade. He caters too every level at any price and is a Gem of a Human Being. Norm Rocks!

Thanks for the tour 🎸

Thanks for the tour, Lee. That was fun. I miss going to music shops like back when I lived in a city area and there were several. Certainly not Norms but good fun anyways.

Wow! Seeing all those old fender amps and guitars really brought back memories for me. I think I might have had them all at one time. Bandmasters, super Beatles amps, telecasters, Gibson, Gretsch on and on. Back in the day we used to play them for a few months then trade them for something else. All gone now. The only thing I have left is a Fender short scale Mustang. Super fast action. I love it. But yes, I love music stores like that. Lots of kindred spirits in there, I'd say . Thanks for the tour Lee!

Cool, I've never seen a full walk thru of the shop before.

Love the guy in the shop fret dressing ! As a luthier that is a lot of what I do to make a guitar play great ! Norm is the best!

Some very nice kit in Norms. Great tour, thx!

Brings back great memories from late '70's before the move, searching for a White Falcon😎👍 😎👍❤🖖 Love Brother

thanks Leland. norm is a great guy.

Amazing place👍👍❤

Thanks for the tour of Norms!!!!

I’ve made an annual pilgrimage to Norm’s for quite a while. I almost always leave with a guitar 🎸 that I don’t need, but somehow can’t live without ❤

Thanks for the tour.

Love these kinds of interviews. Stuff I normally wouldnt see. Great shop. 😁

Thanks for the flashback! There are a few new toys at Norm's, but a lot of the gear looks a lot like the gear I used to covet there 30+ years ago. And Norm looks amazing. When you go back for the book signing, ask him about his new health regime (I need a few pointers)...

I saw a few I wouldn't mind owning. Cool shop.

A guitar player's candy store 👍

Bob Bitchen, people stealing, the wall of shame, and that's just in the first 30 seconds. The stuff of Genius. Well done. Thanks for posting.

In 35+ years of going in and out of shops, my holy grail has always eluded me. I have never seen a Wal in person! Concerts don't count. But never have I run across one leads to the obvious that I've yet to play on. Part of the hunt is the excitement to be sure!

This was quite a treat. ✌️🤟👍

Norm Looks GREAT! Glad he's back to full health! This vid reminds me that I'd better drop in soon... will be moving away in a few weeks. Thanks Lee!

Glad to see Norm looking good. I haven't been able to visit for a few years, now. I may have to remedy that after the summer work slog winds down in the fall. Cheers and good health to everyone at NRG!

That's what heaven must be like. If only I could play.

We LOVE Norm Harris

Awesome tour man. Thanks!!

Sweet spot highly recommend getting your gear from Norman’s Rare Guitar He also buys your instruments

Great tour Lee and even this Aussie knows about them. I thought Norm had been really unwell a couple of years ago but could be wrong. Vale Harry Belafonte and thank you for the memories. 🙏🙏

A tour of Guitarzana!

My two top shows collide, and come together at one time I can’t believe it!

It feels so good to see norm again in such a good shape,love from holland!

I appreciate you, thank you for making content.

What an incredible video. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you 😊 💓

Hi, Legendary Lee!

You have out done yourself. What a wonderful journey. Thank you for taking us there. I remember the great Mandolin Brothers in Staten Island. Stan Jay was the greatest. I miss him and that amazing store. I just listen to Sharon’s Song by Joni Mitchell about Mandolin Brothers to reminisce. George Harrison famously got a few ukuleles from there.

Holy guitars! 🎸🎸🎸🎸😆 I'll take one of each. Lovely store! Thanks for showing us Norm's store. What a nice guy! Love ya, Lee! ❤

Yikes! Guitar heaven.If I had the green.

wow, that guitar tech, "asking if he could help you". too funny.

My wife saw me looking at the guitars, and she said, "Oh no!"😊

Makes me wonder how many times Stairway to heaven was played by upcoming musicians. Great vlog. 😎👍👍✌

That B3 and Leslie are just too much!!!!

Might be time to take the 'Masks Required' sign off the door 😆 - seriously though, that's a SWEEET looking store. Holy moly 🎸

I usually view and comment on Guitar of the Day uploads from one of my other channels with my real name, Eric B. Gordon. Thank you for having given your viewers a nickel tour of the whole shop, Mr. Sklar.

Wooow ... Thank you 👍🙏

Oh man, those amps...Fender splendor!

Love the video at the 7:00 minute mark. You ain’t dead yet Lee!

Love this video!❤

I bought my first square neck Dobro from Norm himself in about 1974-75ish. The store was a lot smaller then! I remember him being really nice to a kid without a clue (me) from Canada.

Thanks for the tour!!!!

This place is on my Bucket List...

Always wanted to visit there! A national treasure, and so much history. Norm looks great.

A fave place to go whenever I hit LA.

Beautiful!

The repair man has had just about enough of your shenanigans

Guitar heaven! Cheech marin

I live near Norm's, have a handful of vintage guitars but I've never been in the store. I'm pretty sure there's nothing there I could afford. This video is as close as I'll get to seeing the store.

I believe it was Norms rare guitar shop that supplied the famous Harp guitar in 1976 for the ending of The Last Waltz theme tune ! That's the instrument that looks like it was made from wood from a primeval forest ...

Norm's Rare Guitars had a great youtube channel too!!!!

OMGOSH!!! Thanks!!!

Always watch guitar of the day. Hope I can go in there some day.

"Only" $4295 for the Dan Armstrong lucite bass ---- and it's cheaper than the three Fender basses to the right of it. Yikes!

That was fun!

❤hi Lee!

Driven by, but never gone in. The "rare" word (next to guitars) scares my wallet.

Norm looks good!

That is so cool.

Am hoping you’re there to do a demo!

Cooool!

Nice video! I was out there last month and it was my first time in the store. great bunch of people there. Got myself a really cool LP JR. thanks Again Norm!

Leland CSUN jazz would love to hear from you

made a trip to Norm's while attending a NAMM show pre pandemic. Norm is a WAY cool, humble, gracious cat. I played a few guitars, chatted with Norm a bit, and of course grabbed a t shirt. DEF worth the trip if you are in SoCal (I live in CO)

❤

I would’ve swung by

Bought an instrument from Norm when he was in Reseda.

Oriental dude wasn't gonna let the presence of a base legend get in the way of his work ethic...🙂

Thanks for showing us around. I loved the guitar, that was half transparent 👍

👍👍

"Somebody loan me a dime..."

That Japanese staff member was pissed. Didn't anyone give him a heads up that you would be there and filming?

So glad to see Norm doing well and looking great.

THEY GOT A TARANTULA BASS! Dayamm!

Awsome.

@5:30 man is like F*ck that 14th fret ski jump...

The most amazing part is all the stuff you don’t see hidden away in storage over the years

I've been to his store once, long time ago. Very frustrating by the way. Every piece I liked, guitar, bass or amp was worth more than what I could pay. Thousands of Dollars. But what a fun place to spend a couple of hours to checked on magnificent pieces of gear. Greetings from México.

Cool visit. Thanks!

The most famous brown couch in the world!

This was great! We don't get to see the whole shop on their channel. My ol buddy Nick there at the end.
