Kid, you are very lucky to have this dad of yours. Looks like you've been working at it a long time. Keep at it and don't limit yourself to just one genre.

my dad suprised me with a pair of jumper cables once

So good to see the parents supporting their child, in playing music/guitar instead of sitting in frt of a TV playing video games for hours.

Nice to see a kid not glued to a video game or phone. Rock On!!!!!!!

Your welcome my Derekito!!!! Greatest son ever!!!! I'm so proud of you!!! Love you!!!

This video reminding me of my dad, i miss him so much. I love you dad. He bought me my first guitar i was around 10 years old, a Gibson les paul and the funny thing was i wanted a flying v cause i loved kiss at the time and i wanted to be Paul Stanley lol. Thank you dad for being a great father!😊

Special thanks to Randy at Guitar Center in McAllen for helping us time and time again with everything he needs and for helping me with this special moment. If anyone is in the market.... ask for him...

Kid you have a awesome family love them hard

Damn, 😢 I wish my dad had taken that kind of interest in me when I was taking guitar lessons when I was 9. Really happy for you kid

This happened to me in 1985..❤❤❤ Huge LOVEE to my Father & Mother.. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

What a great dad! Enjoy your many years making memories playing great licks on that beautiful Flying V. Remember the day you met it and your dad for being super cool 👍

Lucky you 🙂🙂 When I was growing up there was always an insane amount of shouting snd fighting between my mom and my... father... because shock, horror, my mom was playing her Beatles and Rolling Stones records... My father was a diehard opera lover and he considered everything else a blasphemy... There's absolutely no way he would have bought me a guitar ( and an amp ) let alone a Gibson Flying V... Hell, if my mom had bought me the cheapest crappiest guitar she could find my father would have gone into a fit of anger and he would have smashed it and thrown it into a dumpster... The very first guitar I ever bought was a 1985 Ibanez Roadstar RG-440, I still have It...But I had to wait until I was 18 and in my own place for that... I bought ny first Gibson Flying V in 2000... Congratulations young man and most importantly enjoy life 🙂🙂🙂

Love is a beautiful thing. Loving proud parents, kid loving guitar, God is great.

Cool deal.....blessed kid! and grandparents.

That's a beautiful guitar! You're so fortunate to have a supportive loving family. I hope you keep that one forever, and hope you always keep your family close. Beautiful. So happy for you all.

Congrats young man and keep it up, the chops are there. As a 49 year old who remembers Metallica hitting the scene, it is awesome to see the youth of today still diggin them. Props to Dad for supporting and encouraging his son in his obvious passion.

Awesome gift! Always keep the box

Oh what a wonderful dad you have, enjoy, 👍 great video subscribed cheers

He'll remember that for life

My kid is 10 he just started learning with my guitars. I saw that he got better withing the last couple of months so I took him to GC and bought him his first squier jaguar 70's. He's getting better every day. I know that feeling when your a father and see your kid grown into to something g better than you and you can afford to buy him the gear you always wanted as a kid. When my kid gets even better like your kid I'll buy him a fender jaguar kurt Cobain edition.

Congratulations on getting such a beautiful guitar. You are so fortunate to have a such a great dad. Keep up with the practice.. You have some good chops:)

Awesome, hope and expect to see you on stage in the future with that guitar. Nothing like a Dad supporting his sons dreams. Awesome.

Way cool!! Congrats to you. What a gift and what a DAD!!!!

Hell ya, dad!!! Great memory! May he cherish it forever

That’s really great. I had to wait until my 40’s to get a V., so congrats. AND, you’ve got great technique. I love your playing. Keep at it and you’ll be huge.

What a great man your dad is. Good luck, have fun with the v!

Great Dad.

Nice guitar, I remember when I bought my first guitar a bc rich mockingbird I never stopped playing it because I loved it. Big props to the dad for bringing that smile and joy to a future guitarist. Blessings

Good job Dad, your son seems like a great kid. Very cool video

He looks so grateful, which is not common these days. Good kid!!!

So wholesome. Congrats to you!

What a dad! Nice!👍

Awesome! You Are Very Lucky-I Had The Same Experience Long Ago-I Have Been Playing Now For 47 Years-Including 30 Years Professionally-Never Give Up!

Epic guitar derek 🔥🥶

Your dad is the best!

Cant remember my Dad giving me anything..😢 your very lucky..cool Dad..

been playing since the 80s,one of the first things i did was teach my self to tune without a tuner.

Bad ass!!! 👍👍👍👍 Rock and Roll 🤘🤘

Congratulations!

Congrats and keep on rocking bro!! We need more people your age playing actual instruments.

Nice guitar! No matter what anyone says or thinks, just keep jamming on that thing!

"Whoa..yo...lets goooo...." Ugh. Im not jealous.its cool for him. But damn these kids need to work for what they get,otherwise it isnt appreciated. I bought an epiphone explorer in 2000 with my middle school job money for 375 and i appreciated that thing so much

Best dad ever.. !! a Gibson.. !! now go play some "Balls to the Wall" by Accept as any white V deserves to have played on it.. !! congrats.. rock on.. \,,,/

How awesome is this!

Just something about a pointy guitar 🖤

god bless you and your supportive family

Congratulations

My dad surprised me only once: when he didn't come back with milk

Dad level = Ninja Wizard Master

Yes, keep that heavy rock going! Next generation keeping it alive!

Dang that kid has good potential! Amazing! The kids parents know what's up ;) love to see a youngster smile so big! Cheers! Subbed! Get him into Testament Alex Skolnick and he will be better than anyone eventually!

AWESOME!

Nice to have a dad huh, i always wondered

One day my parents went to go get a new bed because their old one was hurting their backs really bad, and it ended up being like 4k dollars. They felt bad they they splurged that hard for themselves so they took me to guitar center and I got a vintera 60s modified Jaguar. One of the best days of my life.

Gran motivación para seguir practicando.

Hi Derek it’s me Hugo

Keep on keeping on youngbuck

guitar 🎸 heaven.

We would live in a better place, if all parents cared about their children this much. It does help if they are able to afford to do these extra things, to try and help the kids be successful !! Great stuff !!

That's Awesome

Keep it forever

happy NGD .. now go forth and rock it ...

vendedor ligou a guitarra no amplificador errado, mas parabéns, fiquei feliz pela guitarra que ganhou dos seus pais.

I'm jealous 😁

Enjoy kid!

Only issue with a V is they’re rough to play seated. They’re sound a look are a 10/10 but as a couch boy I’ve never held on to one long

Get a marshal stack play for parties😅 very nice

Dude you're very lucky when I was your age my father wouldn't even let me play an unplugged electric i had bought with MY MONEY in the house. I hope you're doing all the dishes mowing the lawn taking out the trash and anything else he asks of you

Sweet...

A guitar is fun !

What song are you playing here (the first one)? For the life of me i can't remember the title. Also congrats on that beautiful axe!!

James Hetfield would say: YEEEEEEAAAA-EEE-YEEAAYEAAAHHH!!!!!!

3:45 Orion solo !! 😂

70s Flying V and of course you gotta play some early Metallica. Good job kid!

yeah!!

Enjoy It Boy, Flying Are The Best Guitars Already Created Around The World, I Love Judas Priest And Also Loves Heavy Metal Music.

ok wow.

🎸The kid plays better than me! Rock on! 🎸

Man I had to bust out a music store window to grab a guitar. I left the red Gibson V. I didn't want to get busted.

Thrash On little buddy !

Love it🎸🤘🎸🤘🎸 Grats with a monster killer guitar.. Just play the living shit out of it,you will be great🤘

What the hell are they doing??? The boy had the right guitar and started to play the right song first! So let him!!!

Enjoy it kid...and NEVER SELL THAT GUITAR!

Parenthood done well 👍🏽
