Guitar Stores are paradise!

@wheninroamful Жыл бұрын

Right!! I mean Guitar Center is like the Best Guitar Store out there. If you ever get a chance to visit one, do it. It makes Normans seem like the kiddie pool next to the GC Ocean.!!! (Im only kidding , haha. But I am glad GC exists to get to see and play guitars otherwise a long drive away.) cheers!! Keep picking!!

It's so exciting to see Mary "Spend-her" time getting so excited doing what she loves. Hey Lemmo, nice couch. The cash register looks pretty classic too. All the best to Norm and his family and friends.. Cheers...

You keep looking at those ES-175s Mary :-). …. I inherited the exact one you looked at tag on from. (Thought about sending photo in for your stories as he personalized it)…Wonderful instrument and I won’t ever change a thing on it but the strings. Another great video thank you. Get well soon Norm.

Last week I watched Rhett Schull's video from Norm's and now getting to watch Mary there makes for an uplifting experience! I may be delusional but it almost makes you feel that if everyone just sat down and played music together all the other crap would go away. Being a Texan, sometimes I just have to grab a guitar to shut out the world around me. Keep it up, Mary!

Thank you so much for taking us along to Norman's Mary---unreal! I've never been, God what an incredible array of guitars. Nothing wrong with some serious geeking out, you do it so well. As usual really nice playing and your voice---there are no words to describe it properly, Cool jam with Lemmo on the Strats...I found myself actually close to salivating when he pulled them out of the cases....wow...God that Martin too. Incredible. Apparently I've lived under a rock, I've never heard of tuning the low A to G, it certainly works. Great song too. Appreciate you taking us along on your travels bopping around.

Thank you so much for letting me vicariously live through your guitar nerdiness - I am not a player (owned many, never learned, woulda, coulda, shoulda), so Norm's and people like yourself are some of those things that make me smile inside and out. Oh and there was some definite magic going on inside the store... wow.

@@Starcraft2Sonic Oh I agree... I've even built my own electric guitar, to simply understand how things work... but honestly I recognize I am just too lazy and give up far too easily... every six months or so i get the itch, so i doubt that feeling will ever go away. for now i am so fortunate to have access to people like Mary, et al and have the time to revel in their greatness...

@tow.JanWinnicki Жыл бұрын

It’s so nice to see you pay it forward by giving Mr. Lemmo (who is showing great musical intelligence when playing with you) an opportunity to introduce himself. I listened to the Blue Comet and it is very good. Clearly George Benson was an influence! Serwus!

@Tanshanomi 2 жыл бұрын

"Could I be geeking out more...?" "...I realize I am a true, true guitar nerd." Mary, I'm not a guitar nerd. But I am a rabid nerd about other things, and your voice and your expression communicated a feeling I know and understand so well. Your obvious joy gave me joy watching this.

Such a lovely and satisfying video, paying tribute to the guitar empire Norman has built and the insane number of very rare and often storied instruments the shop has catalogued. To see a pair of players as talented as Michael Lemmo and Mary Spender put some of these beautiful-sounding guitars through their paces is indeed a treat. Thank you. 👏💯🎸

Whoa.. the end of the video spooked me out. It felt like I was physically there. I don''t know if it's because of the acoustics in my basement office, but i have two studio monitors (yamahas), andit was sounded SO real. I heard Mary's playing right in front of me, people talking behind me to the back/right, and the drill came in back left. chills... ...and beautiful playing, Mary. everything felt wholesome, integral to reality, and "in the zone", for the artists who know how that feels. I live for those moments. I think you have that way of bringing others in sync with that wavelength of feeling. Time to head over to Nebula to watch the whole thing...
