I don't understand why more people don't talk about Doyle Bramhall. That guy is extremely underrated. Can play the hell outta some rock & blues and does it all on an upside-down guitar.

I love Norman. I called Normans Rare guitars last week because I had some questions and to my surprise Norman answered the phone. He spent 15 to 20 minutes with me and I must say he is the most warmest kindest individual. He didn't snub me like many other music store employees have done to me in the past. We'll be making our six hour journey soon to Norman's

Thank You Joe for encouraging The younger crowd. I've been playing for over 50 years, I've taught over 100 people to play , Mostly kids and I NEVER charged a dime. I watch you very close and every time I watch you play I learn something. I Love Your music and EVERYTHING You Do. May God Bless YOU Man.

sometimes my shirt collar feels too stretched out but it's all relative i guess

3 Greats all together. Joe & Doyle are great players and with Norm do so many great things to help people less fortunate than they are, Thanks guys for all you do!

God damn i love see great guitarist sit around and talk.

"Just a little bit or reverb" is certainly and understatement, or Norman's store is the batcave

Love how Doyle keeps hard eye contact with Eric Clapton when they play.Much respect for some of my guitar heros.

Doyle and Joe wih Norm just chilling out on the couch is priceless, thanks guys.

2 of my favorites also. These 2 in the store at the same time....EPIC.

Two of my absolute favorite spectacular players.

Doyle rules, period.

If it's a odd thing seeing Doyle play an upside down Strat,strung right handed;Imagine playing a Strat on your LAP!The way Jeff Healy did.He would sometimes stand up,still playing,jumping around etc.And he was Blind!He would BEND those strings,and had a wicked vibrato!Healy was/is another great/legend.

2 of my favs!!!!keep itup boys!!! thanks nom for hetting two greats together!!!! thats classic. it will live forever

All I know is, Doyle is THE Tone Master and Joe is THE Technical Master of blues guitar today. That's it, that's all, 'nuff said...

coolest Norms Video ever, made my day, absolut fantastic.

YES!!!! KEEEEEP GOIN YOU YOUNG-UNS!!!! THANKS FOR KEEPIN THE BLUES & ROCK & ALLLLLL MUSIC ALIVE!!!!

I've got to put that on my bucket list to go hang out at Norman's rare guitars.... Obviously some great and down to Earth guitar players in Norman is a great host.

Two awesome guitarists. Amazing.

I really appreciate all these videos, All of them!. Thank you Norm.

Love both these guys!

Got goosebumps! That was fricking EPIC!!!🙏🏻🎧🎸

Doyle, when I met you, had to be about 20 years ago, at the Saxxon Pub in Austin. You were in the pool room putting new strings on a Strat before playing with the late, great Rusty Wier. Those were some good times at the Saxxon Pub. Rusty played there every Thursday night. He was a great guy. I hope you remember to mention him in the future when someone asks who you used to play with. Rock on, Doyle!

Joe is so on point. It's so incredibly cool to see young people getting into real instrumtation. A few years ago, I gave my nephew a cheap Strat clone. Since then, at birthdays and Christmases, he's asked for picks.....and straps.....and amps.....and more guitars.....That gives me such a charge as a music fan. My latest gift was an Epiphone Tele clone that I picked cheap and personally modified with a 4-way switch mod and Fender Mexican Tele pickups. He loves it (VERY expressive about it, which is RARE in a 15 year old) and I love the fact that I gave him a gift that I built with my own 2 hands.

Saw Joe open for Peter Frampton, and saw Doyle play with Clapton on the Me and Mr Johnson Tour…. Great players!

When I want to feel good about life I come to Norm’s channel and listen to his guests.

Can’t wrap my head around how Doyle plays a left handed guitar, strung right - on purpose. His dad must have had these right hand guitars in the house and he obviously did it on his own. Can’t even imagine playing a basic G cord upside down ... little e, big E. Guys a legend

Love these two great guitarist

So cool to listen to these guys.

Thanks for posting! Great stuff.

Wow that was so Awesome !!!! Thanx

Defiantly 2 of my biggest guitar hero's!

Two of my favorites,you too Norm,no playing,but some great conversation which is cool,love your videos Norm

Doyle is an artist - Bonomassa, a virtuoso. Gimme the artist everyday!

Doyle is too cool for the couch.....

And to think, I sat right on that couch with Norman in March. It was a great experience being in that shop.

Great Pickers. Joe just goes to town on Doyles Guitar. Amazing.

You know this is an outstanding education on entertainment,,. *Thank You*

I really enjoy watching your videos. It shows the real side of a person. These are guys and gals that you can sit down and have coffee with. I hope that I will be able one day to walk into your store. Thanks for the videos.

2 great guitar players here. thanks. good story.

Oh no it stopped too early, love both guys!

Both great players!

Joe dressing like its still 2008 and I love it

Big Doyle Bramhall fan. Love his new record too. Why no jam fellas???

Yes the guitar exchange!!

cool cool cool... nice interview

joes settin ther like "fk da tawk, les play"!

that strat sounds awesome.

This is fantastic!

Awesome thanks Norm!! I love when i can find more great guitarists that play lefthanded guitar strung right handed like i play. Of course the great Albert King and Eric Gales are right up there on my list of favorites including JP Cervonni. Jimi Hendrix to a degree but he normally played a right handed guitar upside down but strung lefthanded. But i have read he was able to play either way which isnt surprising with jimi's ability. I myself started on my grandmothers righthanded heritage cherry Aria SG copy guitar flipped upside down for a few years then got my first lefthanded guitar a Hohner stratocaster sunburst brand new from my grandparents when i was young and i took a years worth of lessons that way. I then sold my lefty two years later and i bought another righty a beautiful white stratocaster and 20 years later i have been playing a righty flipped upside down and i have even purchased a few lefties a lemon drop les paul and a strat and changed the nut and strung them right handed like you see here with Doyle Bramhalls strat. It feels more natural to me upside down than the politically correct way lol. I always say keep playing guitar no matter which way you hold it or what people think as long as it feels right to you and it sounds good!! Keep em' comin Norm and Rock on !!

This was just COOL...

Love both.... Doyle opened for someone can't remember I really liked his music

Didn't know of Doyle until Arc Angels. Loved that but happy to see EC in '07 with Doyle. Heck, they played "Outside Woman Blues" the DG classic he said to be the first solo he ever learned! Maybe upside down then too. Also a killer vocalist! Problem Child from Smokestack rips.

great show..

Epic!!!

2 badass guitar players.

Very fun

Cool interview

Doyle is playing upside down and lefty..great sound just as long as I don't watch his hands...i love this..what a great hang...

My daughter: "Love it when he passes his guitar to the other guy!" WIN! Sorry Joe!

At the end of the day, both guys are doing their thing playing the music they love for a living. Personally. I prefer DBII for a lot of reasons, but I wouldn't argue Joe's technical virtuosity. I guess what I think is harder to pull off as a guitarist and an artist is to have your own style and unmistakable sound. Like it or not, he has a sound and style all his own that makes him instantly recognizable.

Great couple of legends here. Joe looks so baby faced and clean. Doyle looks like he just stopped in a guitar shop before going to a methadone clinic. Joe holding a Gretsch looks so weird. Seeing him playing what could be Eric Gales guitar was really cool

Hi Norm! I'm a 75 year old lefty Guitar player. When I played right hand Strats. in the '60s I would replace the knobs with old fashioned, beveled rubber Faucet washers so I wouldn't turn the knobs while I was playing. Thought you'd enjoy this little tidbit. Love your videos!

Great Video!

On of the topics of my English exam was about Joe Bonamassa 🤘

Damn. really wanted to see Joe crank that White Falcon. those are so cool.

Nice!!!

Left handed upside down playing crazy fucking unbelievable genius

Im having trouble telling what year this was shot in. Joes dressed like its 1999 and doyles dressed like its 2020. Wtf.

Would love to see Joe and Doyle TOGETHER

I love Joe B. Incredible & very technical guitar player and great voice. However if Doyle & Joe were playing the same night across the street from one one another......I would pick.............I would pick......what rhymes with boil??

upside down strung lefty alert!! That twists my brain!

I remember being in Norm's on Vanowen, and one of the guys working there was talking about how Elliot came in and had all of these guitars that had been given to him by various manufacturers, and I guess Norm, or maybe someone else there said...." how much do you want for them?" and Elliot said, nothing, man, I just want to get rid of them, I don't want them and they are in my way.... please just let me give them to you.... classic California story!

Special sale today only all Doyle bramhall t shirts half off.

BONAMASSA IS LIKE A NASCAR DRIVER OF GUITAR PLAYING

My 2 top blues guys just hanging out. Would love to see a record together.

Sweet

"Having a good time on the couch" :D

JB playin an upside down Strat?? Legendary. sounds good

All three of them look absolutely insane and it's freaking me out

Doyle is too cool man 😎

Dang, luv the resonance, on that hunk of wood! Other guitar is gorgeous, sure wish they would have played 'em tho!!!

Yes

I have that hat Joe Bonanasso's wearing & have for over 10years, wear it often and it looks fresh. Guess who 'wears it better'. (griiita 👚)

I want that earnie ball's cap😊

Joe needs to have Doyle on his podcast.

Got one of those Seafoam Green teles hanging on the wall righthand side. Really fab guitars - american standard special run (looks like mine anyway). If you want a cool tele, get this one!!!

2 Ass Kicking and taking names Great Guitar players!!

Why is it that I always miss the chance to see guitar idols like Doyle Bramhall II and JB? I go in and there is never a famous guitarist. DANG!!!!

Damn, Norm does know everybody, and has sold a guitar to most of them.

Where I live it's all 80's hair band music, I wish there were blues people,here.

I seen Doyle with Roger Waters awesome!!

so whats up with the back of the falcon? i think its a protection for bucklerash?

Hi Joe & Doyle & Norm & EVERYONE! GOOD TO SEE YOU!!!

8:32 Joe is thinking "should i buy this guitar?"

slight talent! 😮😮😮

I like how joe dresses like a normal guy an Doyle dresses like your typical musician tool who wants everyone to know they play guitar

I actually have a left handed strat that's converted to be played as a right handed guitar, just like how Doyle's is set up. It's my favorite guitar for sure.

Still makes my brain crank that For plays a left handed guitar strung upside down

when was this documentary recorded?
