That guitar deserves a world class guitarist playing it. And low and behold, it got one, for decades to become. Alex, I hope those who follow this inspiring band realize just how good you are...
Wow, what an amazing story. Alex your just such a gifted player, you seem to be able to play anything. It's just great that the Gibson Custom shop treated you seriously. That Vault area is just incredible.
This video brought tears to my eyes. To see the joy and the true passion you have for this guitar, to see your smile and to hear you talk about this wonderful instrument, it's just so inspiring to see. You're going places man! Also, LOVE the Oasis tunes 🙂
Alex, I can't even think of the words to say about this guitar. This word gets tossed around a lot but that's all I can come up with is awesome. With just watching you in this video you could see your face just lighting up. As someone else said in the comments you are definitely going places man. Also you've got a great father.
Alex...you are so cool..love your band..your sister is great on drums..but you can play like the 70s groups I use to watch..keep up the great work.and I want to see you sing more..thanks for bringing back the good songs.. More journey music please.
Gorgeous guitar!! And in the hands of a most deserving player!! Your story (and video) of you playing that gold top brought tears to my eyes!! You make Canada great!!! ☮️💕
We all know you made that Gibson fellas day when he got to speak with someone who knew his stuff. Geeking out is what they like, that's why they're around guitars all day lol
Alex, you have amazing talent. Congrats on your custom Les Paul. It would be a great honor to own such a unique, premium instrument that is one of a kind and meant for you! I'm sure I'll be seeing more of you and your awesome band in the future. Stay humble and keep rockin!
Your a fine young man Alex who has a passion for music, you worked long and hard over the years and deserve that fine guitar. Can't wait to see you on stage rocking out on new guitar. The look on your face says it all bro, enjoy it. All the best !
Congratulations Dad! Thank you for allowing us to participate in your family 's adventure. What a awe inspiring collaboration of youth, talent, inspiration and long hard work. My wife and I met a gentleman on a cruise who brought his son Deklan to that same store and purchased a gorgeous guitar for $13 k. He plays somewhere in Nashville but one may never see him because there's so many musicians. What a Treat to participate in the making of history Alex. Kudos to the Group. Shout out to Addi! Beat those skins like Cindy, Karen and Viola.
Hey Alex, it’s Joe Glenn, from Phoenix. I just wanted to say hello! I think you’re an amazing guitar player. I so enjoy all the 80s music because that’s the music that was in when I was in high school. You are super talented. I’m sure you’ll go very far in music.
WOW that video was amazing. My hair on my arm was standing up. I m so happy for u ALEX. Ur new toy could not go to more of a amazing young man like urself. I don’t know SHI$&(; about guitars but u know them like the back of ur hand. Could not b more proud of u m tend AMAZING trip u had with ur amazing family. CUDOS to u dad for making Alex’s dream come true.
@@kidsalonebandlol.. You wish Alex paid for it. I guarantee the guitar will be paid for over and over again. The enjoyment your kids will bring you is priceless. Just that smile on Alex's face paid for it. Your a good man and loving father. Thanks for the live streams, I would never of heard LTKA seeing I live in Australia. God Bless you all, you make a old man smile when listening to you all. Bands sounding fantastic now that Timmy boy has moved on. Cheers. Mark. Mad Cow Mark.
Dude, I truly hope that $6k guitar gives you many years of enjoyment. The one thing I like about it, with that pickup combo and the electronics, that guitar is very versatile in the number of voices it will make. Thank you for making me drool, and again, hope you enjoy that as your main ax. I'm for sure jelly. I was happy when I bought my Tellie. But you my friend have an awesome guitar.
Alex that is the most beautiful Gibson Les Paul I've ever seen. You are so lucky to have walked in and found it! It's meant to be yours! God has no coincidences! What's her name? You have to have a name!
Alex, you deserve that guitar, and that guitar deserves you. You are such an amazing talent. I enjoyed listening to that great story. You are a great inspiration to others who share your same passion.
Thank you for doing this Alex. So natural on camera and always so professional yet real. Your future is set man. So excited to watch you grow. Keep it up. Gonna need the income to pay your dad back for that #&@# thousand dollar guitar lol. Btw love the custom access....want to try one now. Thanks little brother!
That’s an amazing guitar. I hope you enjoy it for many, many years! You’ve definitely earned it, Alex! And by the way, you are such a great narrator and story teller. So comfortable behind the camera. Makes you super enjoyable to watch!
Congrats ALEX..... You have mighty proud parents... You and your sister ROCK. I also have been blessed with a boy and girl who are great people too. KEEP ROCKING
Bought my first new Les Paul (Standard) in 1977. I was 16 and had fixed up a beater Chevy for $400 and sold it for $2400. I sold the car to buy the Les Paul (and a perfect condition 1965 Fender Deluxe Reverb). I had about $200 left so I bought a Ford Pinto….LOL. I still have the guitar and amp and was blessed to play in the U.S. & Europe, and play with some amazing musicians. Best of luck with that gorgeous guitar! Congratulations!
Making memories and finding love. ... that's what life is all about. What an awesome trip for you. Sweet sounding guitar, can't wait to hear you on stage with it.
Congrats on scoring that amazing guitar! You are an exceptional talent for your age and I look forward to watching you continue to grow Alex! Keep on Rocking Dude! Much love from West Virginia, USA!
Don't feel bad for that 1.5 hour. I am sure there are financial rewards for sales at the end of the month. Also, don't feel bad for being another kid. One of the guys from Led Zep walked into a car showroom, pointed to a car, and said he wanted to test drive it. Salesman asked, do you know how much this costs? I think it was Jon Bonham....drove car thru the glass, told salesman he would buy, and "don't ever ask me if I know how much something costs"
Can't wait to see you play it with your band! Edit: I wrote this note and then the very next video I pull up is you playing this guitar with your band haha. Sounds and looks great!
Congratulations on the new “axe”! One of these days I’m going to go to Nashville for a mini vacation, and hope that I even have 1/4 the experience you had!
Great run down on your new Gibson and your time in Nashville. I stopped by there store a week before I saw you play at Lincoln Park Michigan. Keep up the great playing and hope to see you play next year. Your fan from California. 😎
Super cool vid Alex. You should do more stuff talking guitars and gear. I have my eye on you, I think you are going to make big noise in the music world as the years tick by.
So I'm going to try this for a third time now. I saw over the weekend there was a little hiccup at the beginning of 'All my Lovin'. I was wondering if you could ask Alex if he could do what McCartney did on TV on February 9th 1964. When the band that I'm talking about was on there and they did the song and we all know who I'm talking about McCartney did a count in of 1 2 3 4 5..... Was wondering if you could ask Alex if he'd do that one time for me. I hope this comment doesn't get taken down.
That thing sounds great your as good as Clapton is now, and your sister is as good as Ginger Baker yes I said it, she knows what to do without thinking about it, then comes your base player could he be a young Jack Bruce, yes I think so now all he needs is that Warwick fretless bass that Jack played and that is your power trio.
I just stumbled on these amazing Vidz of Leave those kids alone LIVE . . . Super Kewl Guitars . . but WHAT is your Over-drive, Amplifier Config?? I see On your LIVE performance switching Pedals On/ Off . Maybe you're just going through CENTRAL Board directly ?? Gosh you play fantastic. Great Attention to detail. Please advise on your AMP tone. Thanks! JT
Would be awesome if you did a rig rundown on your audio equipment. It appears as if nobody uses amps? Are you guys all running through a pa? Food for thought
Oddly enough, here's our "to do" list.... New Videos: Pod Go, Keyboards/MainStage, X32 (Kick Drum / Live streaming / In-ears / Tap Tempo / FX) So much to do, so little time!
@@kidsaloneband man you guys are all out in this. Congrats great job. Where does all the knowledge come from? Dad are you in the entertainment business? (Understand if its a trade secret) I saw you playing with the band a few times. I get where the talent comes from. Your living a dream my friend. Great work
@@recklessabandonmontana9692 JP: "Lots of different roles... everything from helping with production for big acts at a big venue (specifically live video), to having bands of my own.

@@kidsaloneband A 16 year old high school student was able to buy himself a $10,000 guitar? Along with owning a vintage Les Paul Custom, a PRS, A Tele, a Strat, plus how many other sundry expensive guitars? Hmm, me thinks that’s not very likely for most regular kids, growing up in average Canadian homes nowadays, but wadda I know? In any case, I’m super happy for Alex and I think it’s very cool to have such a wonderful instrument collection. :) Maybe Alex is on his way to becoming a Canadian version of Joe Bonamosa RE. guitar collection? 😁
@@reviewersrevival5408 70-90 gigs a year, 5 years running... :) He is certainly on his way. The good news is he plays each and every one of them at gigs or at home. No strings left behind!
@@kidsaloneband That’s so cool. :) Pop JP must be just as proud as a peacock. I was 14 myself when I started out with my father’s old 1960 Gretsch 6120 in my family’s little band, but it wasn’t at the level as these youngsters are presently at. My pro career started when I was 19 or 20. :) I was 28 before I got to see Nashville. I was never the biggest name in Canadian country music, but then again, not many country lead guitarists from little ol’ Cape Breton accomplished many of the musical things that the good Lord blessed me with. In a nutshell, I’m plumb proud of the whole lot of y’all. :)

Alex, just wanted to say that I really love your band. Always professional and right on cue! Thank you for the great music.
I have viewed quite a few of your videos tonight and you young man are so deserving of the beautiful guitar.You make it come alive.

You are so talented Alex. Very unique in this day and age. You will be a famous guitarist someday.
That's one of the most beautiful Les Pauls I've ever seen. Congrats on owning it and I hope it gives you many years of playing joy! Well done!
Congratulations Alex !! Your new guitar is beautiful !
Great story about how you found it. You deserve it too. ☺
America loves you guys! Wear that guitar out!

What a awe inspiring collaboration of youth, talent, inspiration and long hard work.
My wife and I met a gentleman on a cruise who brought his son Deklan to that same store and purchased a gorgeous guitar for $13 k. He plays somewhere in Nashville but one may never see him because there's so many musicians.
What a Treat to participate in the making of history Alex.
Kudos to the Group.

One of the coolest videos I have seen. Got goosebumps when you were jamming with Johns band. That goldtop of his is one of my favorites.
Congrats on scoring that amazing guitar! You are an exceptional talent for your age and I look forward to watching you continue to grow Alex! Keep on Rocking Dude! Much love from West Virginia, USA!
That thing is stunning! I wish they would make a production Les Paul Custom in blue. That’s what I have always wanted.
Great dad you got there my friend. Cherish that guitar brother. But cherish dad more.

Gibson needs your endorsement more than u need their guitar.
Your a Blessed Kid.

Alex Good Character
So why did they bleep out the price? Is it a big secret? How much?
How long is the House mortgaged for? Twenty years? Your exuberance over whelms the rest of us. Keep on playing. $14 WHAT? I read lips! LOL!!!
Whoa whoa, not 14…. (at least not in U.S. dollars)
:)

You look a little like Frankie Muniz from Malcolm In The Middle when he was 17.
Wow what a find, it's really a good investment but I know you would never sell it lol!
How much did it cost?
Let's just go with "a lot." ;)
about 4 grand I guess and you most certainly play the crap out it
The official answer is.... PRICELESS. :)
That guitar cost one hell of a lot more than $4k
Game show host: “That’s right!”
I hate strumming over the front pickup so I hate gibsons sitting down.
Rock gods are supposed to get their guitars for free. Why didn’t you tell them who u are?
