His dad gave him the gift of music, hopefully he will learn the most important thing from this gift. It's not where you start or finish it's the journey that matters. Doesn't matter if he can play or not He will remember this instrument for the rest of his life and might pay it forward to his son one day, Rock on little bud.

A real pleasure to watch a craftsman's hands at work. Still smiling. Hope the boy grows up with the same skills. Thanks.

That gift will spark the fire of music. My family was poor but my mom bought me a cheap guitar and amp when I was 9 or 10 years old. I'm now an old man that still enjoys to play. I'll never forget her kindness.

Awesome work! I well know the joy of plucking a string with my finger and hearing a resonating vibration with my ear. You gave your son a wonderful gift. And we all got to enjoy watching a first-rate video. Thank you for sharing!

I was surprised at how good it sounds. Great job. That kid will be a star someday and tell everybody how his daddy made his first guitar for him out of a oil can. He's on his way, thanks to his daddy. Good luck.

What a great Dad and precious, adorable boy! My dad made me a windometer in grade school. It was one time I asked him for help and he quietly took over and made a wheel with cones that would fill with the wind and spin on a glass tube. It was beautiful and complicated and he really seemed to enjoy himself. My sister and I loved watching him figure out the design. Thanks for reminding me of a lovely memory.

What a unique father he is and it's my wish His son will become a famous guitarist in the world.

Great Job Dad!! May God bless this family, and keep them close to each other.

I would buy one! That's awesome and it shows great dedication to craft and to the kid who got it! Very lucky to have you around! Thank you for the video, really inspiring.

This is amazing. Absolutely great job... what a first guitar to have. Always appreciate when someone creates or make's something with their own hands.

What a great dad! That's what mine would've done if he he thought about that. He bought my first guitar and I still have it. Now I'm 55. That is totally amazing! Your kids will always love you and remember! God Bless everyone and everything!

That’s definitely a memory that kid will carry in his heart. Good job dad.

I love everything in this video, every little thing. We wish to spend our time like this. Very talented guy

A good dad buys his child a guitar. A great dad does something like this. Totally awesome!!

That is the coolest guitar that I ever seen in my life and a work of art to boot!💯👏👍

This is just a loving gift from the heart from Father to Son. Love it 👍❤️

Joe Bonamassa started about this age... his dad owned a guitar store. This kid will GO FAR with his dad hooking him up with this masterpiece! The music bug bites and we will be seeing his YT channel explode with some great tunes in the future. Thanks for making this, and making my day!

What a guitar ! I find it very cool ! Parabens! muito bom!

Thank you so much I really really enjoyed watching you create this amazing and beautiful guitar. And what a lucky little man to have such a wonderful gift.

Diosss! Es increible la creatividad del padre, espero que ese niño sea muy feliz y a dia de hoy sepa tocar bien sus notas🎼😊❤

awesome, i love it. i couldn't stop watching all the way to the end. i am about to go get my boy and watch it again. as well as build one. great father. this is what life is all about. (making memories) just great,great,great. thanks for taking the time to make the video and upload it.

Good job. Now to teach him how to play. Thanks for the video.

His first song and it already makes perfect sense. He's a natural! Gonna grow up to do many magnificent things, musically.

Almost bought a premade version of this at guitar center. Absolutely hilarious build, love it.

it's all about a unique sound. you see kids using trash cans for drums and blue man group using everything else. Way to go. These are cool and sound awesome when played by a skilled musician. you can get him a guitar, yeah, but he would eventually sound like any of the other guitarists.

Very neatly done man. This video makes me wanna get my hands on an old oil tin and get crafting.

Man you are an example for all dads. Your child will try to do what you do , and will be more creative. Keep up the good work!

Dla dziecka to coś niesamowitego. Brawo dla ojca.

This is very creative, I would love to play that guitar

i love to see these incredible and genius DIY projects. well done!

Il est trop fort ce papa bricoleur....genial , c'est pas une gibson mais on s'en fou !! Le petit garçon à bien de la chance, bravo à tout les deux merci pour le partage et les très bonnes idées.

Meticulous workmanship...Great project for you and the boy too. I'll bet ur a GREAT DAD!

Love it!! Absolutely great. The world needs more of these ideas. Keep posting:)

SUPER!! THANKS DAD, YOU ARE LOVED BY THIS BEAUTIFUL CHILD, great example in perseverance. Memories forever

Kids learn a lot from just pottering round the doin's and don'ts of life with their parents and elders. Time and relationship beyond price. Hats off to all the practical parents!!

Hey, Green Arrow, wonderful way you built the guitar, and equally nice you got the little guy involved. You are a true idea of a father. I built a dulcimer from scratch and a cigar box banjo, but my kids were older and gone on their own before I did. I wish I had done it when they were still little, but sadly, I didn't. Showed them other things when they were little, and that is what counts. You did a very worthwhile thing there for your little one. By the way, try a cigar box banjo when you get around to it, you'll love it!

Very creative. The things a dad do for his son. Great work.

Very nice gift for the baby! I suppose it is a good start for a great guitarist.

Incroyable travail,mais quel beau résultat. Et un enfant heureux ,bravo au père !👍👍🙏

Would loved to hear some music coming from that gascan guitar. Great job dad.

great work, this is a very creative way to create a beautiful looking and sounding guitar

That build was wonderful. Great job!

Автор, очень трогательное видео, особенно понравился момент когда ребенок сидел возле верстака и смотрел как папа ему гитару делает... уверен ребенок станет отличным гитаристом и в одном из интервью расскажет о своей первой гитаре. Лайк!

Again, I scratch my head how anyone could thumbs down, this is fantastic ;)

Espectacular! Tempo bem passado para fazer o rapaz feliz! Abraço de Portugal!

Good for you . A gift to pass on for generations to come.

beyond fantastic, he will always be able to say that my first guitar was a gas can !!!

Very cool project . I dig the use of the fork ... very clever !

Great work.sounds awesome!!!! Very talented building guitar homeboy.

Fenómeno amigo eres un fenómeno. Menuda ilusión para el niño. Felicidades para el creador de esa guitarra y para el niño.

Amazing watching this guitar being made. Thanks. 🎸👏🏻👍

World is made of sweetest things and this is one of this. :) good one.

Just ignore all the negative comments, just do your thing and make your son happy, that's all it matters. I am a guitar player and I find your project very cool. If a I am kid, I would totally want that guitar because it is the ONLY one in this world.

Muy hermoso el trabajo del padre y la atencion del niño en su construccion del instrumento un recuerdo para toda la vida bendiciones.👍

10 years later, the boy grew up to be an amazing bassist.

what a cool project and a cool Dad.. a real labour of love :)

Top man. real father. . in fact I am going to try build my own

When my daughter 12 , I found a box turtle shell with the belly plate. They both were snow white. Unlined the inside of both pieces with felt. Where the belly plate turns up under its neck comes apart. So I put two brass hinges that I added patina and joined the pieces back together. Where the plate meets the top shell I put in a handmade magnetic latch.i stained the geometric shell patterns on the sell in two shades of brown and black , the bottom plate one shade. Sprayed with satin polyurethane then drilled a hole in the top shell along the edge just where its head would poke out. Lastly took three strand of shade leather and braided them , slid a tight fitting brass ring on each end and put each end down through the holes and crimped them then again the inside. She absolutely loved it and all her friends thought it was cool as heck and they were a little jelly. That was 20 yrs ago...Good good memory. I was a single Dad for 12 yrs till I met my first wife. Right before my dtrs bday her Mother abandoned us and disappeared..My dtr always was my everything.I quit my Union Ironworker job and got my nursing degree at age 30 twenty six yrs ago.

The first guitar I had was one that my dad made out of a cardboard box and a stick used to stir paint, I played the thing until it totally went broke. Later he bought me a real one and even hired a private guitar tutor for me.

I knew a guy named Bibble in Vero Beach who made these out of pop cans, cds, and bamboo origami toys and he deserves the attention!

Well done on teaching your son something he'll remember. And he's already a better guitar player than me.

Priceless worth more than Taylor,epiphone... dad's gift

Great dad and an awesome gift..

There's tears in my eyes !! Lucky boy !! there's a bunch of kids begging for a thing like that !! and made from his papa ???? FKNNG Pricelessssssssss !!!! awesome Job

this daddy did an awesome thing. the kid will remember this for his entire life.

That was great! What a great dad!🙂

UFFF ....SOLO LE FALTÓ PONERLE LAS CUERDAS RESPECTIVAS EN SU SITIO. muy buen vídeo. ..gracias por compartirlo. desde España. .😃

his little hands waiting for the guitar to be done is way to cute...why people dislike so much cute and nice things?

Seeing the thumbnail I thought the kid was gunna blow us away with some rock number.

That Fork was fine work if i ever saw it. Great job.

Isto sim é arte e artistas! parabéns para os 2 .

Nice job and the little guy seems quite interested in it and getting some fun sounds too. I bet he will be a great player some day, he's starting at the right age too. Thanks

Checked this out intending only to see what this finished thing sounded like, but I watched the whole thing. Wonderful job.

Wow! What a gift to give your child. ❤❤❤👍👍👍👌

Over 18 million views that's impressive,now this kid will grow to be an explosive guitarist Rock on Son

Fantastically ingenious. Thanks for the video, I truly hope I have the opportunity to make one of these some day. Who do I know that has a workbench..?

Green Arrow, thank you for this! What a great thing for a Dad to do (or for anyone to do). I was hoping to hear something being played on this instrument, but I guess not. Still, it is so inventive and excellently done, even the camera work. I get a special smile from seeing threaded bolts being used for the nut and bridge! My real surprise is the COMMENTS section! Whoa! I wish I knew why there is so much anger and hatred. Maybe it is because so many people are already pissed off about their lives, and can say terrible things under the cloak of anonymity. I bet you a dollar that if everyone had to post their real name and address before commenting, that entire section would be much more civil!

So nice when you do something that works and sounds great. Looks like your son enjoys it x3

Parabéns pelo incentivo ! Os grandes músicos , na maioria começaram assim 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Bravo, that boy will never forget that guitar

Amazing guitar if you want to play in streets your gonna attract more atention than an expensive guitar,very beautiful instrument.

You're an amazing craftsmen!!! Who would have thought of it!!!

Awesome!! I wish I had the chance to play as a kid. Didn't get my first guitar till I was 14. Got one from Fingerhut catalog. 🎸

This piece can fetch top dollar, because it's considered art.

That's the coolest guitar I've ever seen, man, I'd luv to have one , killer sound, great job. !!!!

I wish every child in the world had a dad like this.

When i was 9 year old my papa give me a guitar of bambo even string of bambo and now i have a nice guitar and i m able to dedicate a one beautiful song for papa love u papa

Nunca tive prazer em ver um vídeo tão longo como este sensacional vi do começo ao fim

Nice one ,what a great dad :-)

This is great, something very special, a connection between dad and son. This is something human, not what the Power wants us to live after this controversial pandemia.

Me: Can I get a guitar? Dad: We already have a guitar at home Guitar at home:

Great craftsmanship!!! Get that boy a slide and let him start rippin!!

Really cool seeing your boy by your side at the workbench, just curious is the oil can guitar still around? be neat to get an update video, see what the kids learned over the years! Just a thought, Rock on!

This is so amazing.

Самое главное отдать её ребенку, чтобы он с возрастом стал виртуозом. И тогда он всегда сможет сыграть испанским боем! Спасибо этому человеку, кто знает толк в звуках музыки. Всё прах - музыка бессмертна!

nice job, the kid will never forget something like that

Now he's a real dad with real home

Thanks for sharing! Really nice job! 🙂🙂🙂

That's really cool I love it

... now, this is what I call "quality time" spent with the kid ... !
