We Gave Kids $80,000 To Spend at a Guitar Store

- 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!

Imagine being 8 years old and your first guitar is a giant Flying V
😭😭
The first guitar was a rocking jazzmaster.
My first guitar was my tablet :( spoiled brat getting a V
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.
My first guitar was an acoustic that i made, my first electric was my dad’s
In the future imma tell my kids: the real Santa wears a spongebob t shirt
Me too!
And a gold and black plaid button up
Yes
as a guitarist, its irritating seeing those kids not knowing what theyre doing holding in their hands a better guitar than have lol

The little girl playing pink Floyd at the end brought me to tears😭😭😭
Glad to know i was not the only one :,)
Karina Perdomo I was waiting for the solo haha
That was the one that got me too. I was fighting it back the whole video but then SHE started playin Floyd with her dad watching her.
Me to......Thanks Jared
What pink Floyd song is that???? I wanna knowwww
5:42 Kudos to the kid who actually chose bass.
I hope he knew it was a bass 🤣🤣 jokes obvs
He uses it to play lead
Born loser.
@@springbloom5940 Us bassists are proud to be born as losers. They could never get enough of us.

I've already had enough of you 😒
This guy just made a handful of future musicians, let that sink in
Daaave he shouldn’t have, he should have made sure they could never play so we can feel better about ourselves with no children to outperform us
@@macmuggo5459 then try harder
Joshua Campbell i was only joking
@@macmuggo5459 yes I know, if you were serious you would've said something more harsh lol
Daaave that’s what I was thinking... I thought to myself, “damn these kids don’t know how to play probably but they will if they really want to”
Seeing small children with guitars I'll never be able to afford is really strange
I know right!

I know both and yeah i have pretty long hair
In other words all girls can skate and play guitar...?

Redneck donut he said kid not boy
Straight facts
Imagine, in the future, there will be amazing artists that will mention Jared Dines as their start of life in music.
Probably, Jared will be proud
That would be such a heartwarming dividend to enjoy later when you're old. All the donors will be able to feel proud too, if just one of them "makes it" and thanks Jared..noone else will know.but you'll know.
@@TheArtOfMind I really hope it doesn't ):
:)
or maybe kids who never played it again
The final shot with the girl playing “Wish You Were Here” was cool
Yeahh
You could see how proud her dad was
She was doing pretty damn good too
Yeah
can't lie... that little kid playing Pink Floyd made me cry....
That one kid who got a bass will always be a legend.

Also the ONE kid that picked up the bass is my hero.
I loved this, way to go Jared.

Gave the 69th like lmao
@@MyNameBaboo as a homeless person at Starbucks i gave it a like 👍
Yes we respect a man who picks bass
Yes we love bass
Honestly, this is one of the best things I've seen. Helping kids potentially having a career in music in the future and letting them choose a guitar.
Is a 20 year old still considered a "kid"? Lmao I wish I was there.
Me too
It’s unfair cuz the others doesnt know how and they bought 😭
Let’s just bump that up to 25
Little did Jared know he just sparked the beginning of the generation of metal
A new generation, if you ask me
Battlesoldier 13 yea that’s like what I meant
Refrigeratered Microwave or rock or something else but yes for sure there are some metalheads in there and hopefully they all grow up to have a successful career
A new djeneration
Who said only metal?? There is more genres out there.
Record each kid hitting the lowest string on their guitars then edit together an epic djent collab. 😄
YESSSS

Davie would be proud
You are completely right sir
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.
yep. Instantly started crying. That song means a lot to me, and it really hit me seeing the I assume dad watching her. What a moment that must be to watch your child play something so beautifully.
its really easy and fun to play but it's really emotional to me when i play it lol
I started crying too, that dad must be so proud of her daughter.
God sake i love that song, na i love the Floyd in general, Dave Gilmour is often overlooked by these guitar channels but he is a fantastic and emotional guitarist
gosh i got the same feeling. music carries great power!
I cried when I watched this the first time. I remember how hard it was for me to get my first axe. And to see all these kids get brought into music by this. Music and guitar saved my life. You might have saved some of theirs
That little girl playing Pink Floyd at the end was raised right.
everyone : **buys guitar**
bass : **sad bass noises**
Mehdi J i bet some of them will switch (or play bass as well) to bass at one point
Mehdi J there was a kid at 5:41 playing a bass, don’t know if he bought it though haha
Hey at least you could have been purchased drums and keyboards weren't there, so be happy that you are there
Davie will *slapp*
@M3rlin Then why not play the bass like a guitar?
th-cam.com/video/QrQD5tvHhQA/w-d-xo.html
You have a heart of gold my dude. This is the perfect video before Christmas
Yo bro, awesome Lamb of God cover with tabs yesterday... that vid will make it much much easier for many to learn the masterpiece of a song
I feel like every kid would go for the most iconic shaped guitar, like a strat-ish shaped guitar
yeah probably
Yeah, you can see a lot of them chose strats or strat-shaped jacksons or something similar.
Pls choose les pauls
Or SG
Some went for Duo sonics, which is GREAT!
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.
*gives one kid $80,000*
*Has just enough to buy one Gibson*
dish it be like that😔
I got one for free signed by slash aswell
@@charliemills4072 r/thathappened
Terrence the stormtrooper how, are you a Make-A-Wish kid or something?
Lenny Wright no my dads friend gave it to me cause a played a Steve vai song
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.
I was lucky enough to be born into a musical family. While my parent's didn't have a lot of money, they worked hard to get me instruments that may have been cheap, but worked. Forever grateful 🙏 I hope these kids look back one day and realize how lucky they are
oh that's me rn.. almost 21.. and the guitar i got is just disgusting.. idk i cant play with this, sound keeps getting interupted, and what comes out of it is just rubbish
You sir, get it!
Fully agree.
Ugh, I still remember my first guitar, a shitty Walmart acoustic that had the worst action ever and killed your fingers
4:36 while she's killin it, Jared's there hitting wrong notes
Jared : We gave 80 000 to spend at a guitar store
Guitare store : stonks
Very moving....that girl at the end playing Pink Floyd...so touching seeing kids getting started by a man´s vision and social activism.
Best part of the video.
Blooming culture
3:37 that kid playing Cliffs of Dover is the reason why rock n roll will never die...
He did it looking at him too
3:55 lucky kid, I just ordered that one.
Me too, the tele Deluxe is my dream guitar ):
I don’t think these kids realize how lucky they are. Jared just started the next generations of musicians. Hopefully these kids use their power the right way and carry rock on forever.
Man that Pink Floyd at the end there brought tears to my eyes. Little kids learnin' the classics.
Touches the soul
It was the first song I ever learned on the acoustic
that was one of the first songs I learned and I remember how happy I was dude.
Yeah that one was my favorite
Same for me :')
I knew this guy only for his metal parodies and goofy stuff but this has made him acquire legendary status in my book
1:29 me tryna sneak out with a new free guitar while he’s still talking
One of the most beautiful parts was when the father watched her daughter play on the guitar at the end. Almost made me tear up. Thank you for being the person you are Jared. We all love you
It's official, Jared is officially the metal brother of Mr.beast
Lmao
Yeah but beast isnt good.
@@isak8059 ye he isn't, he just gave someone a million dollars. That's really not good.
@@isak8059 yeah he isn't, he only helps poor people, he only does amazing and entertaining videos, he's only fighting climate change by opening a charity for planting trees (they hit 20 million trees a few days ago), and he only gave someone a million dollars for keeping his hand on a stack of cash.
*hE ONLY dID tHaT*

That kid at the end playing wish you were here by Pink Floyd made me tear up man
For real, yeah this.
FOR REAL THO
so cool!!!!
thats one luck father i hope one day i get a daughter with musical or art talent as myself
It's a great ending for the video though.
Jared you are an absolute Godsend to these kids. This whole video I was in tears just seeing the joy and appreciation that these kids had interacting with you and picking out the guitar of their dreams. Beautiful. No other way to describe what you did for these kids man, thank you for giving the opportunity to have good musical equipment to those who are beginning their journey as musicians!!!
It’s really amazing what he has done, but most of the kids were probably just there with their parents and just got a hella good guitar for free and will probably never use it until their older or just mess around with it unless they actually learn how to play.
there were a few with real potential...but you are probably correct.
That’s a really pessimistic way to look at this!
Yo I was the kid with the black Jackson trying to play cliffs of dover
Miles Doozer sick dude u we’re totally killing it!!🤘🤘(ps love ur hair)
Sounded dope dude! Keep playing and achieving more!
Hello shredder
your killing it
Dude you rock
Bro I seriously got choked up when you were jamming with that little girl ...you're a true human....thank you for your good work.......
Everyone who's not watching from ther recommendations is a guitarist who's to bored to play guitar so they are watching guitar vids a the guitard that they want but cant afford then stumble across this vid and watch it
O my god lol I literally just watched a video about my dream Taylor guitar before this
Why did you just attack me like that?? 😅
Dude, thank you. It’s an honor watching people get an axe. I’m proud. Thank you for the kind act.
Seeing that little girl play Floyd gave me hope for the next generation
I just need to comment a pair of hearts. I actually never comment, but this was so much love you gave to this children...
These hearts are given with all emotions I can feel right now, and believe me, those are a lot!
❤️❤️
6:06 that girl has taste
You can tell he genuinely cares about the cause and bringing music to people. Most influencers would do something like this for there own personal benifit. The fact he went around and talked / jammed with kids is truly touching.
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.
I can’t imagineer how many kids don’t
play guitar and forgot to buy an amp
You can learn guitar without an amp lol
I dont see how you forget an amp when you have $750 to spend
Noah you really dont know anything about guitars
who needs an amp these days you can buy those plug and play mini amp and plug your in ear monitors / earphones
You can learn without an amp or you can buy Rocksmith for XBox PlayStation or PC
This is so fucking awesome. Kids are our future and nurturing their talents is a W
The kid playing Wish You Were Here quietly and un-assumedly at the end there melted my heart.
So stoked this was able to happen! So many kids' lives got changed
What I wanna know is who are the 200 Grinch's who thumbs downed the video. I think this is an absolutely awsome act of generosity by giving them the gift of music.
Lol probably kids like mine who are jealous. She's playing on an $80 pawn shop bass.
Those people are absolutely pathetic. To me it doesn't matter if it's going to chairty or buying kids new instruments. He raised this much money and did something for the kids, giving back to his community. If people are pissed about that, they need to get a life.
@bruh im bored I don't think she really would dislike. But she would be jelly! She's getting a brand new bass tonight with her Christmas money. 👍
@Goruthia Player charity is a word that means, helping others in an act of generosity. Doesn't mean you *need* to donate *only* , you can do so much to help out as an act of charity. 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)
Drummers
Literally almost every kid just picked 🎸
4:22 this little homie just got inspired to play rhythm. This is one small step for guitars, and a giant leap for guitarkind.
No future bassists? :( maybe davie should take care of those
5:40
@@rhod2486 must of missed him, one at least :D
German Martinez There was one bassist. The great thing about bass is, even if you’re not particularly good at it, you can get a lot of opportunity to play, even professionally. And of course it’s on the job training when you’re getting those opportunities.
5:43, dude!
I would give a child money to buy a bass but I don’t have money.
This is actually really touching. You're doing good things, Jared.
Sup dude
YOU'RE DAMN EVERYWHERE
Hey Jared, this video almost bought me to tears, I'm a visual artist, I'd love to one day be able to provide the best canvasses, paints and brushes for children back in ireland! Such a beautiful thing to give to the next generation, it will help them through hard times, improve by their quality of life, open up new doors for them, get them interested in new and old music genres, it's really heartwarming to see. And even if some of them leave the guitar to collect dust at some stage in their life, it'll be an amazing reminder for them of the day someone gifted them with a fantastic gift. Cheers dude for the eye watering content!
Wow.... good for you bro! Absolutely amazing thing to do for our young musicians!
Awesome man.....words can't just explain your.....ah no word.... seriously damn......i can feel the happiness of the kids...
New too gonna make me 😪
I was choking up the whole time but that girl playing Wish You Were Here at the end absolutely broke me down. I don’t have words for how happy this makes me, god bless you brother Merry Christmas
Agree- that expression on her face right before the fade out was priceless. Reminds me of when I taught my daughter how to play.
Amazing
Yep. I came here to say something about her. $80k well spent.
This is so wholesome and real man at first i thought this kids wouldn't get the struggle if someone buys them their axe but they actually got talent and potential and the urge to take the leap
You're a wonderful person I ever met, you gave those kid an amazing opportunity to purchase good and branded guitar and you are a real musicians who wants others to seek the wonders of music. I really respects you bro.
Hey Jared I don't know if you'll see this but I just want to say when you were planning on doing this it really inspired me and I ended up purchasing my friend who's family isn't as fortunate a guitar that I found on a used website for his Christmas present
That was real act of kindness. You made his Christmas a bright one. Have a great day
thansk bro have a great day too
you rock dude

Living in Argentina and seeing this video makes me want to cry but at the same time I feel good for all those kids. great video
Seeing kids with PRS SE Customs as their first guitars makes me jealous.. But happy at the same time.. Learning on something like that would've motivated me even more to learn how to use its full potential. Good job man 👍
I didn't start playing guitar until i was 18 because my parents couldn't afford one, and I WISH I had been able to start back when I was younger. These kids are getting the opportunity that I didn't. Jared, you are my hero!!!! You are so awesome for making the effort to make this happen!!

Letting the kids choose probably is the best thing about that. Such a great idea.

_Cringeover9000productions _ Epiphone Les Paul standards are really good for the price point.
Jew Adolf Well it’s their choice. They‘ll be happy anyway.
Huge props to you man! As a teacher, I was totally overwhelmed by this video. It brought me to tears. There's nothing nobler than making a child happy. You truly are a wonderful and special person!
That small girl playing "wish you were here" at the end was pretty fricking awesome.
I keep an acoustic guitar in my classroom for kids to play on, even though I teach science. Many kids can’t afford instruments.
Bloody Lovely - I just get so stoked that these kids are given the opportunity to play instruments, obviously some can play already, but the juice that this must have given them to get home and practice is so, so sweet..... Good on you man, you've a great heart.......
Those are legit smiles. Very innocent.

This so wonderful to share your gifts with children who will become our next generation of artists and to teach them the true value of love .
OMG this is beautiful. I have two kids (11 and 9) and I can only imagine the joy those kids in the shop are feeling - a lifetime with guitars begins here, all thanks to you!
This video alone warrants a sub. I gave my 14 year old son a Squire Strat a couple of years ago, and just last month my 10 year old daughter came and asked for a bass. I got her a Squire P Bass, and at the same time my son upgraded to a Jem 555. Now my 9 year old son is expressing some interest in the drums. I tell people all the time the greatest gift anyone can give a child is the ability to make music. Well done!
You’re gonna have a whole band in your house:)
jason c amazing how good are they now?
Charlie Mills my son is working towards being the next Slash. He’s just about mastered several GnR songs, and songs from countless other bands. My daughter is coming along. I got my youngest a 5 piece set, and he’s still getting the basics down.
