wow he is so talented. He looks like a Nasa engineer from the 60's, lol

sometimes its just nice to sit back and hear a guy as good as this just play.....thanks norm another gem.

It’s so refreshing to hear such wonderful playing on a beautiful sounding guitar. No amp, no effects, just awesome!

It's great to see the kid from Christmas Story grew up to be a phenomenal guitar player

Fabulous playing! It takes a player like Jonathan to bring out the best in an instrument like this.

Fine playing, for sure! Thank you.

Man this guy is super polished at his art of playing. I have listened to this video a few times just to hear a real artist.

This guy knows his stuff and that's a fact! Enjoyed his rendition of Paper Moon, Nat King Cole just smiled along side of Eddie Lang. Great video!

What a tone this guy knows his stuff , beautiful chords cool

wonderful stuff, always great to hear a player who is dedicated to his style

I'd definitely enjoy hearing more of this.

I heard a army of angels sing as I walked thru the store. Truly a guitar candy store with dream guitars on every wall and floor space.

It's nice to know there are still people out there playing the great classic stuff.

That was exceptional. Wow. Love these videos, whether its celebrities or everyday customers.

Excellent! Thank you for playing. Thumbs way up!

Sounds great with a great guitarist playing it.

Damn, that's some pro playing and a pro sounding guitar :D

that's great...glad somebody is keeping that old music going

That was awesome...man that guitarist sounds amazing. Probably the most authentic sounding "swing" playing I've heard

That was truly mind boggling! Thanks!

What a delight! Thank you,

A fine stylist, just the right spirit. I admired his latest CD very much!

He really makes that guitar sing. Loved all the funky chords.

Talent.

Great sound.

Breathless....Never really considered learning to play this kind of music until now.

Killer playing!!!

I keep playing this over & over.....very nice...classy....really enjoyable to see guys who can play like this

Beautiful guitar and beautiful playing!!

Yes, we agree

Great player!

Magic mate .

I've just realised that beautiful guitar is nearly 90 years old and is just getting better every year! Beautiful playing too thanks for bringing these gems to us Norm! Maybe one day I can come across the pond, visit and buy something special!

Wow! Amazing player! Beautiful guitar!

What a great player, really enjoyed that thanks

Now that's showcasing how full and beautiful an old Gibson can sound.

Beautiful playing on a gorgeous guitar.

Beautiful tone! Amazing.

Jonathan is Amazing. Thanks Norm.

That tone conjures up so many memories

sounds great

probably the best and most badass guitar player who ever walked into norm's shop

It had a family guy feel to it. But on a more important note. That is one of the most beautiful guitars I've ever seen. Found an awesome looking 1936 Martin R-18 arch top at the flea market at the Rose Bowl last week and I've been infatuated with acoustic arch tops since. Guy was asking $1,800. Not in good shape but beautiful. I want an arch top so bad.

This guy's playing is amazing. Wonderful tone that he's getting out that acoustic archtop.

gosh that's beautiful

Incredible!

I want more Jonathan stout... seems like a sweet man

GREAT PLAYER AND GUITAR - COOL SONG - FINE STORE -

This guy kills it every time Norm has him on.....a great player of this musical genre..... I have happy feet right now.....

Amazing!

Holy Shit, that was AMAZING! I did not see that coming at all. LOL

Totally awesome.

Wow...he really dances with that beauty.

BRAVO!

beautiful sound

That old saying....you can't judge a book by its cover!!! He rocked it!!!!

Lovely playing!

Go Jonathan, go. Sounds great.

I'm an instant fan!

Very nice and refreshing. Beautiful example of a ultra rare king of the crop L5. Jazz musicians Holy grail. Although I'm a metal head lol still would love a crack at playing something on it

Awesome, great style and different from the usual modern guitar

You can hear every tone. It almost sounds amplified. Really nice.

wooo great!

omg this guitar's sound is astonishing

very cool sounds fantastic.

Unreal Playing right there.

Mad Skillz Bruh

wow what a player

Damn. so smooth.

Great playing !

Nice guitar and nice playing. Soloing without rhythm section ain't easy especially to sound good.

I most certainly do!

Wow great playing

greatings from Brazil

Nice video. Beautiful guitar, love the tone. Excellent playing. I wonder what his criteria was to select the one he did out of the others? Always nice to hear someone playing a good instrument who really knows how to play it, but I'd never underestimate the value, ability and importance of a better quality instrument to inspire one of lesser ability to keep striving and learning. Not that a beginner should always go out and buy the most expensive thing, but trying to learn on something with the strings falling off can be counter productive. That beautiful tone is something to aspire to -

I love that old 20’s Gibson headstock.

Ringing like a goddamn bell!

Awesome !!

Really cool, melodic playing

Wonderful.

cool chord progression

I have a mid '20s L-3 and while a different design from this 'box' (no f- holes) it has it's own personality. The best part is how wide the fretboard is to articulate these chords and the action is great.

I love it! Where can I learn how to play this kind of music?

If Michael Douglas was unavailable for 'Falling Down', I could see this guy taking that role.

Wow 😮

beautiful finally someone playing real music!

Very nice!

Great playing and video- The only other guitar store that might have as wide a selection would be the legendary, George Gruhn.

Fab guitar and player

excellent player!

This guy's a MONSTER! Whoa

The playing and the attack are perfect, so is the instrument!!! Please tell what strings are mounted on it. Thank You!

He looks as if he came there to ask Norm if he had any time to talk about our lord and savior.

He's like Guitar George. He knows all the chords. I'd love to see him spank a Tele w/ flatwounds.

sounds so fucking good

VERY NICE

The boy can play!

Good Jams!! Cheers, G :D London

Music best thing on KZfaq

I have a Loar 700 copy of this model L5 wish I could play like this guy Thanks
