This dude Craig Ross is the most underrated guitarist in the history of music. I swear. I just saw them last night in Saint Louis, and I cried when he hit the Are You Gonna Go My Way solo.
You 're so right ! Underated is the word! His genious is to let put the light on LK but from the bottom of his heart this guy is not here to overpass Lk but more tattoo something in our minds. He is so far away one of the best of modern musical history. Hope that peoples gonna make him recover at his right place (sorry I'm my french, I hope my words feet with my feeling)
@@pierax17 Yeah I knew Craig was the real deal when he played the Whole Lotta Love guitar solo in front of Jimmy Page note for note. I knew then he was different!
@@vincevanderperre6484 You do realize when I said underrated I meant in the pantheon of great guitarists, right? He's almost NEVER mentioned. Not underrated as in mediocre. Underrated as he doesn't get credit for his skill. Glad to see you understand definitions of simple words.
Craig Ross performance was amazing during theLed Zepplin Tribute at Kennedy Center. Saw him & Lenny at Berkshire event in 2022 and was amazing being right upfront in the pit seeing these guys perform. Craig has to be one of the best guitarists ever. I'll never forget it.
Probably the most underrated guitarist of all time! Saw him live in Stockholm together with Lenny Kravitz and DAMN how satisfying those classic rock solos were!
An old lady came up to me and said how are you doing remember me from school. I said holy shit who are you. I had to go take a closer look in the mirror.
Craig Ross is soooo down to earth, like Lenny Kravitz. I always loved him since the early Kravitz days, his wild, electric Zeppelin hair and amazing guitar is the BEST!
No - what the hell did I just listen to? This is the kind if playing that a 9-5 working man who practices blues every night and on weekends can perfect. Nothing about this was even remotely impressive.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MR.CRAIG ROSS' PLAYING.. HIS PHRASING. HIS CHOICE OF 🎸 GUITAR'S.WHICH IS USUALLY GIBSON LES PAUL CUSTOM'S.. I LOVE THE WAY THAT HE BENDS STRINGS.. THE UNISON BEND'S ARE JUST PHENOMENA.... BRAVO TO YOU.,SIR!!!!!

The God of the guitar Craig Ross !!!!He tore serious....You're rock and Blues baby !Oh yes,what it's good !!!Craig Like Lenny,Franklin,Gail,George,Cameron,Michael And Harold you miss me so much.Thanks for this marvelous video.
Craig is a very underrated guitar player... if you ever get a chance to see him play on tour with Lenny Kravirz I recommend it! Plus he ALWAYS has the best guitars and gear..figures he is at NORM'S!
I could not agree more to that. He is awesome. You can‘t even find an interview with him on the net, at least I could not find anything. This video is very rare from that perspective.
wayfaerer320 As Norm pointed out, it’s because he does not really want to be playing in the video. Not only do I think he’s underrated, he is also very humble and unassuming, and does not like the spotlight. This is probably the reason why he has played with Lenny for 30 years. He is more than happy to let Lenny have all of the spotlight.
I can't help but cringe every time Norm talks about his 'buddies, and is never listening to the guitar players. 'That's my wife' and Norm still keeps on dribbling only interested in dropping names. I'm pretty sure the guitar playing here was how this bloke was feeling on the inside, he had worse than the blues, he was playing the Norms. He's a much better player than this, A tough vid to watch.
I get it but the premise is getting to watch some legends as they would behave in a guitar store, it's a great idea and there are already plenty of videos available if you just want to watch them play. I like the way the clips are put together and Norm just happens to be smart enough to dream up this idea and profit off of it, it comes off as unscripted and a little rough around the edges but that's why it's so appealing. Maybe he's a jerk irl or something, I dunno but I like watching this stuff he puts out, I get to see a side of some musicians I wouldn't know otherwise.
who needs pedals with a 335? Craig MFer!! So good. I know you get paid well to do this live but thank you for giving us some time to enjoy sitting down with you on the couch.
When being underrated means that you purposely choose NOT to be a mainstream personality, then underrated sounds great to me. We all need to stop using this word to appreciate good musicians. This guy is obviously a great guitarist, family guy, a very fine gentleman and a key part of the RNR history. Underrate my a**, he is a very smart person IMHO. The one thing that'd be underrated here is his hairdresser.
GuitarlosCarlos yeah it looks at least on my little phone like it’s got maybe a little checking. But only enough to add character. It is a beautiful guitar. That’s a great explanation of the sound. A mellow quack. Definitely!👍
@@ZakEdwardsOfficial The band always makes the great solos, don't they? I'll give you the chords, but I also think it's bc the single lines are so sing-able
@Realist Soul Ah, nice. Thx. Craig Ross is in the video, so it's confusing, but you are jogging my memory now. I'm pretty sure Lenny played almost everything on Mama Said except horns and guest appearance parts. What a solo!
Hold up, at 5.23 , it's nice to see Mrs Guitarlos, but there in the cabinet, is that a Gibson harp guitar Style U ????! Come on how about that for Wednesday !?
Why on earth is underrated the most used word nowdays? Everybody is underrated, every band,every singer, every drummer, every bass player, etc. Can you people find another word at all?
He so totally rocks!!!! One of the best kick ass guitarists of today! Amazing skills. Honey, the tribute to Led Zeppelin at the Kennedy Center!!!!! Check it out on TH-cam. It was Whole Lotta Love and Lenny Kravitz was singing. He is an amazing guitarist.
Craig Ross is a great guitarist but he isn't the most underrated guitarist of all time. He joins the list of underated guitarists including lindsey buckingham, brian setzer, dez dickerson, lita ford, sammy hagar, peter frampton and many others!
Robbo Pinnetto , what are you thinking? What Hendrix tune is it close to? ya thinking, Purple Haze? for a bar, maybe. But Jimi takes off from there. This riff just stays there and beats you over the head with it. He only changes the sequence once, with a chord change. Then goes back to beating you with the riff. That's what I love about it.

I saw Craig play at Wembley Arena in London a few years back and he totally blew me away. One of the best, if not the best guitarist I've ever heard.
Jerry said you never heard of Jeff Beck, jimmy page, edh, because this guy is on the bottom of the list in the hundreds of thousands

Craig Ross, Peter Stroud and Audley Freed keep the old school going.
Probably the most underrated guitarist of all time! Saw him live in Stockholm together with Lenny Kravitz and DAMN how satisfying those classic rock solos were!
30 years with Lenny Kravitz. Nice gig.
I thought Lenny was in his 30's!! Just found out he is 55. So, He looks great. Music keeps us young. Peace!
Chess I don't know how old you are but it goes by very quickly. I remember Brad Pitt was a kid like yesterday. He's 56 years old. WTF
@@guitarocd9984 I'm 60, but I was 25 two days ago! Man, how true my friend!
An old lady came up to me and said how are you doing remember me from school. I said holy shit who are you. I had to go take a closer look in the mirror.
When it really hits me is when I see my age on a document. I say to myself no fucking way. LOL
Craig Ross is soooo down to earth, like Lenny Kravitz. I always loved him since the early Kravitz days, his wild, electric Zeppelin hair and amazing guitar is the BEST!
This dude has the chill factor going.
Been a fan of his playing for a while now. He really has it all, the complete rock guitarist.
Absolute legend, love his style of playing. Learned so much from him over the yesrs
Same homie. Those bits of bends hold true
OMG one of the coolest and most brilliant guitarists out there....bloody brilliant.
No - what the hell did I just listen to? This is the kind if playing that a 9-5 working man who practices blues every night and on weekends can perfect. Nothing about this was even remotely impressive.
@@wayfaerer320.. yeah but great hair gets the big gig lol
This guy has been with Lenny Kravitz since day one! That quite an accomplishment for any bandmates.
Top notch guitarist. A breath of fresh air for the TH-cam channel.👍 🎸
One of the most underrated guitarists of the 90's. His live work with Lenny is unreal. Don't think he got the chance to rip on the recorded versions.
He does. He is one of the only persons "allowed" to join Lenny in the recording process. He plays many of the solos in Lenny's songs.
He ain't underrated to true fans and people who know what's up, we don't care about the general opinions or the rolling stones top 100!
I just learned the coolest funk pattern from Craig Ross! Thanks Craig! and Thanks Norman!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MR.CRAIG ROSS' PLAYING..
HIS PHRASING.
HIS CHOICE OF 🎸 GUITAR'S.WHICH IS USUALLY GIBSON LES PAUL CUSTOM'S..
I LOVE THE WAY THAT HE BENDS STRINGS..
THE UNISON BEND'S ARE JUST PHENOMENA....
BRAVO TO YOU.,SIR!!!!!
Great underrated guitar player! Always loved him in any Kravitz song... Are you gonna, Believe (legendary solo), etc...
1977 I WAS IN LOS ANGELES, I WAS 27 CRAIG WAS 13 YRS

So, Craig is in his 50's?? Looks great!! Peace!
my dream guitar
Oh yes Craig... this guy is awesome. :)
I love this show!
My favorite guitarist!!!!!!
Cool guitar player! Cheers from Brazil guys!
He sounds exactly like me, like this book blues you can use vol. 1
Love Craig
Don't delete the vidéo !!!
One of the most underrated guitarist .... Just listen to the solo on Sister
jason schifo I thought his playing here was boring as hell. Phrasing sounds like he’s just copying blues guitar for beginners lessons.

Not to mention he just came over in the middle of him playing and started talking over him ...
Dude is fake and annoying .
Norm is a complete narcissist, worse than a used car salesman.
@@surfallday6583 His job is to move equipment and he apparently does it very well. Get yer point, but there's that.

The Brilliant Craig Ross!🔥❤️🔥
He’s thinking, “I’m never coming back in”....
Lool
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"... that's my wife"
So does Goya...
Thanks for this amazing three fingers pentatonic trip.
The charm about Norm and crew is they are really a bunch of normal Goofs in a Rock and Roll World.
@@8chk92 'long as you got maybe $12K to kick in.
So underrated
LOVED THIS VIDEO FOR THE GUYS ANF THERE WASNT 10 MINUTES OF TALKING BEFORE THE GUITAR PLAYING EITHER
CRAIG! You f'n Rock !
A heart full of soul 👍
THIS DUDE! 🔥🙌🏾
THIS IS AWESOME
He's like when in family dinners, parents and relatives tell you to play guitar...
I love him sooooo much such a nice dude
I met him at Nassau airport and we talked about my 63 hummingbird
Craig seemed really thrilled to be there 😂
Those pick-up/volume/tone changes though!!! Gee mister! I ain’t ever seen something like that!!!
who needs pedals with a 335? Craig MFer!! So good. I know you get paid well to do this live but thank you for giving us some time to enjoy sitting down with you on the couch.
Mr. Ross is a beast of a guitar player, he played some of the meanest cuts on Lenny Kravitz albums.
That was friggin' awesome !
The GREAT CRAIG ROSS....!!!!!!pure FEELING....!!!
He is an awesome guitarist who plays with real feelings. You can’t teach that.
A lot of talent there.
He plays with space and soul like the greats
Very soothing
I think the honor should be for him for visiting such an amazing store.
Dream guitar
What a feeling
that's the blues baby!!
The caption needs to be corrected. Goya is Craig's wife, not his girlfriend.
Norm was rockin' That JB. . .

Acho esse cara incrivel, classico, digno de tocar com Lenny.
Tbm
I always wondered who the guitarist with the Side Show Bob hairdo was in Lenny Kravitz's band.
Maybe you got my Gibson Les Paul Artisan that was stolen in 1995 in Phoenix. My SSN is scrolled in the component box.
Soulful
Gosh! at 1:47 the phone rings in harmony with lick's break 🤭
You can definitely hear some BB King in the way he plays the blues. Dude is severely under rated
Wow! Clean 64!! Wow!! Craig Ross!!

So freakin good bro, but that dude is really with Lenny Kravitz? I thought that he played drums in Grand Funk Railroad! LMAO!
It Ain't Over Til It's Over solo might be my favorite of all time. Just something about it. Not sure what it is. Just so melodic.
It's the chords behind it and the Hammond specifically.

Actually its well documented the Are you gonna go my way is a collaboration between the two. Please do your research
