  • Stay tuned for Steve's video! He received $20,000 of the donation pool to put toward his own charity event in partnership for supplying his 20 string guitar for our giveaway. I also matched 5% of the donations and chipped in $4000 of my own money to make sure everything went off without a hitch. We're hoping we can make an even bigger impact next year! Thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered or participated in any way!

      Gear doesn't matter as much as you'd think. I got my first bass at 15 which was a cheap Ibanez, a few later bought a 62' Reissue Jazz bass, ended up selling the Fender and keeping the old Ibanez because I thought it plays and sounds better, despite being a lot cheaper.
      Just make sure you're playing your heart out and having a blast doing so, and that's all that matters.

    Someone bought me a guitar when I was a kid. I took two to three lessons then quit...and then the guitar moved houses with me, was lent out to siblings and relatives and friends who all took lessons. But... a few months ago, I picked it back up and have been playing consistently and really enjoying it.
    So moral of the story is! A lot of these kids already play but some don't seem to, and that's okay. They've still found something really special and the cool thing is they now have the option to learn guitar and a shiny, beautiful instrument to motivate them.

    Jared, you're the man. Your generosity proves that you're a good man. I'm remember when you wanted to give one of your guitar to a kid overseas, but coudn't because of logistics, and if I remember well Earnie Ball did awesome...
    Also big shoutout to the guitar store and the brands that made a partnership to that. I'm sure y'all made those kids' christmas big time.
    When I see that, my faith in humanity is restored.

    Man, seeing that little girl at the end play 'Wish you were here' legit made me cry' and I don't even know why lol. I think it's just watching the impact that music has on people. Watching a song that will withstand the test of time being played by someone who will never get to experience music like it was then. The universe is nuts.

  • @inflameslp311
    @inflameslp311 4 года назад +217

    This is awesome. So many kids get those shitty starter packs and dirt cheap knockoffs (from people with good hearts but either don't know the difference or can't afford better quality gear), and they quit either because they think they are doing something wrong due to faulty equipment or they get frustrated when the equipment just doesn't work. I dealt with quite a few disappointed parents who returned them when I worked at a music shop. By giving these kids $750 each, you get them started on or upgraded to some solid gear that they WANT to play on, which increases the chances of them continuing on and getting better. Well done.

What he did here, is basically charity as well, and to add up to that, music is one of the good ways to express or be a part of someone way of expressing themselves. That's mentally helping those kids at their very young age, since many young generation nowadays face depressions and that could possibly a great medium to help cope with everything (i hope this doesn't happen, but gotta put it up here)
