I was fortunate to take a three day instructional series with Howard Roberts. Along with being super informative, teaching you how to learn, applying theory to guitar, and providing many stories of the studio (he insisted that he didn't have any tunes memorized); he was a kind and generous fellow to hang out with at lunch.
He's right on about The Beatles helping you learn music. I started learning like 8 months ago and a lot of songs I feel like I don't gain much knowledge from learning. But every time I learn a new Beatles song I legitimately feel so much more confident in a new area of using chords. They were legitimate masterminds.
The Fab Four Forever !
I remember being blown away by that Feels So Good solo. Bravo man!
Re Howard Roberts. Trust me on this... on of the best albums EVER is Howard Roberts' "The Velvet Groove". OMG. The songs. The arrangements. The playing. Perfection! Howard was a true badass!
I use to be one of the guys playing in the garage with Grant and toured with him way back during high school and right after. We had a lot of fun and I learned almost everything I know about playing guitar from him. He is and was a great friend and we always knew if anyone of us was going to hit the big time it would be him. And by the way we were playing everything from Beatles, Stones, CSN and Y, Credence, Blood Sweat and Tears and Chicago and originals; all the while he was taking jazz lessons and college music course's to show us how a real music professional learns his art. I think of those formative days with great fondness. Proud to say he is my friend. PS Grant made sure I knew who Howard Roberts was and that is one cool guitar.
Great story great memories .
Howard Roberts. Technical master. Clean sound and tone wizard.
this dude is an animal on guitar!
Terrific video all around. Thanks to Grant, and a big hug out to Norm and Jen! Know that you are loved and appreciated, and that we are grateful to have you in our lives. ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Grant, a great player .
Grant is absolutely one of the best❤
Grant wrote the theme for two and a Half Men and on a sad note Conchata Ferrell woh played the part of Berta passed away yesterday. RIP Conchata
My guitar teacher turned me on to Howard Roberts back in the 60s. I still have his albums, somewhere. :O)
One of my favorite Beatles solos is Michelle. I still play Michelle today every time I play.
So much outstanding music came out of that era!!!
I am homesick every time I see a new video. So cool to see the motherlode of rare birds. All the best to Norm's.
Super guitar, and a great player. Thanks Norm for this. All the best to you.
Beauty guitar, congrats Grant. Looks to be in the right hands.
Really dig the BeaTle tunes, and a cool guy, and the gettar was ok too!!!!.....🍁
So great to see and hear him!!!!!!!!!!
Nice to hear some jazz... and a remembrance of Howard. Cool Beatles stuff too.
This channel is such a perfect guitar channel. A lot of times channels have something I'd change or improve, but I never have a single thought about wanting to change any of these videos. Just great wholesome content haha
Awesome to get exposure to these legends and learn about these historic instruments.
Thank You Grant you totally made my afternoon, one amazing player 🎸👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🎸 you have a great time with the guitar n come back again soon with more tunes from that Epi inspired moment 🔥💕🤑🥰 thanks Norm for twisting his arm 🤔
Lovely playing on such a lovely looking guitar! Love a good Epiphone! However! Gotta do a Maton!
Wow. Just wow!
This guys a monster
Went to the right guy! Nice guitar Grant!
An amazing guitar that found an amazing new home! Loved it!
Wow dint know about this guy what a player that solo on feels so good is one my favorite riffs of all time,the guitar was good to see too, probably never see another one 😀
Beautiful guitar!!! Gracias por compartir estos grandes instrumentos 😉😜💪🏻💪🏻
Never ceases to amaze me the talent that walks through Norm's door, and the knowledge of Norm. These guys are aficionados!
One thing that does make my skin crawl about this shop is the way they swing instruments around in the back! I ALWAYS think someone is going to snap the head stock off a priceless git fiddle!
You don't need to add character to any of them!
Howard Roberts wrote all those excellent columns in Guitar Player magazine. I still do some of the technical exercises he posted. Great guitar!
You get some great people in there. Love that guitar, too. Excellent video! It even had a cameo appearance by the beautiful, and talented ROGO!!!!
Such a great performance! I'll be smiling for a while.
Love your videos and there are cool guitars
That’s my favourite guitar on this show to date. Well done Grant lucky guy.
Norm is a freaking guitar almanac.
Don’t forget Grants love of all things EC!
Hey, so this is his second Major score on a NRG’s buy!! In the words of Doc Brown “Damn”, Damn Damn! The man is super talented and way humble but he will always be taken for Grant ed! Oh my, you’re killin me!
The Beatles song title at 08:17 is "I'll Be Back", from the "Hard Day's NIght" album (1964).
In common with many others, I've always liked this song very much - yet it was stuck away on side 2 (the non-film music) of the "Hard Day's Night" album.
Thank you Norm.
Dang, you made my day. Loved the guitar and i loved watching Geissman work. That's a musician.
Muito legal!
Conhece muito!!
Parabéns a vocês!!!!
Rara guitarra
Beautiful sounding guitar....
Nice
I saw GG playing with Chuck Mangione many years ago. It was a great show and he was incredible. I have sort of lost track of him over the years but it is great to see and hear him again.
What an amazing player. 🙏
Beautiful unique axe Norm and awesome playing Grant ! Thanks Jen ! 😎🎸👍
yep , he can play , luv the beatles , don't remember howard roberts , more of a 60's guys , but I also luv the epiphones , I have 7 of them and they are every bit as good as gibson , made in the same factory with the same material by the same people , just less expensive , you really owe it to yourself to check them out , thanks guys.
Awesome playing and really nice guy but who are the 4 who gave this a thumbs down?
Great GOTD episode! And that’s a sweet Epiphone.
7:56 As a guitar player, I can confirm what Norm and Grant say. As a beginner, I had a Beatle song book, and then bought another one for a birthday. I used those book until college, and by then I could play in any rock band. Please use Norm and Grant's advice.
Howard was a monster player. Really great demo.
I dont like CNN
Wrong(😜); a lucky lucky spoilt Aussie no less has an original 1965 example with mini-humbug, walnut brown, the “right” scale, carved solid spruce top (ply back but) & just professionally repaired, adjusted & setup. Love it! Grant, urs being all acoustic, is the back also carved? Sounds great/just like mine ... has very useful acoustic sound & response. Urs 25.5” scale? I must get those HR albums. Learned recently HR was a WreckingCrew stalwart & wrote lotsa textboox but many were simply incomprehensible 2 me. As I write I’m digging Grant’s playing on that acoustic HR .. it sounds gr8
Enjoyed this, in spite of myself.
Grant is a legend !!! Check out some of his other vids at Norm’s , the one where he plays the solo to feels so good is Ridiculous!!! So amazing!!!
I have an uber rare late 80's Epi HRF III.....cool guitar....
Soundtrac on "The Deputy"
Great sound, 175 body. No pickups. Reminds me of Gordy's Hitsville studio, none of the guitars plugged in, all the electric guitars were just miked on the same channel no less. Word I think of is "real". Cool.
excuse the language my respect for this man but Grant THe General is a Fukin legend up thier with Eric Clapton , Mark Knomphler, Eddie Van Halen im 49 Grant is my jazz guitar legend growing uo in the late 70's 80's
What kind of strings would be best on a guitar like that to get a good acoustic sound and volume?
I own an epiphone re-issue of the HR1. It has .012 flat wounds. It doesn't get much playing any more. Plugged in, it sounds great. Acoustically, not so much. Would rond wound bronze strings be better for acoustic playing? Maybe .011?
The higher gage of the strings doesn't work so well for me. I got used to .011 and 0.010 on other guitars. And found myself preferring the feel and sound of round wound strings, especially on semi-hollow and solid body guitars.u
Great!
I sold one of these to Madelyn Roberts. They have spruce tops unlike the Gibsons.
Well I knew somebody who didn't know that the guitar harmony at the middle of Master of Puppets was by two players, so he played it himself. But that riff in And Your Bird Can Sing is way faster that that. Wow.
Yeah yeah ya ya !!!!!!! How much is it ..... cheers 🥂
Norm knows Jazz!
Fantastic demo
Norm stops talking around 5:30
The jazz police ahahahaha! I’m sure he’s referencing his days with the big phat band
Sounded like Jen had a dentist appointment today...lol.
At last a look at a Howard Roberts Gibson sorry Epiphone!
Grant is such a well rounded guitar player perhaps more so than Joe B 🤔
His solo on Land of Make Believe live at the Hollywood Bowl is something I can never forget. If you haven't heard it, what are you waiting for?
Wonder what shade of Just For Men he uses?
awsum
Ok now if you excuse me... I'm going to practice and then practice more, because I wanna play like him 👍
Beatles!
Tell me that you've got everything you want
And your bird can sing
But you don't get me
You don't get me,,,,,,
Yikes! Great playing
Anyone know what that Beatles song was that was switching from major to minor?
And your bird can sing I think. But not 💯 on that
I'll Be Back off A Hard Days Night
@@peterstephenson9887 Also on Capitol's Beatles '65.
Why down on jazz?
Men, men, men, men, men, men,
I hate that song
@@roberteberhart1139 could have been Achy Breaky Heart.
@@gonzo5912 I hate that song too
@@roberteberhart1139 How do you feel about Frank Stallone - Wake up little Susie
@@barrysoetoro8452 Is that on his greatest hits album?
7:21 song?
The Beatles - I feel fine.
@@Kloetenhuhn thanks, its a fucking amazing riff
Are you taking lessons, lemmo?
👌
Norms new Halloween look......a proctologist......
Great picking shame that guitar has been out of action all those years
Norman was there a sticker on it that says it may cause cancer? Hi Chen
YAWNN

Norm... why the mask?
