I think it is a combination of things. Shock, since this is not a normal thing, and possibly insecurity about being ''loud'' in public or simply showing emotion. A lot of people, when in public, are intentionally reserved to not draw attention they aren't currently seeking. i like to think on the INSIDE these people were screaming.

Most of them were really young and they don’t have the full range of human emotions yet. Bet they learned a couple very quickly when they got their prizes!

Man, those were some GORGEOUS guitars given away. I hope at least most of those just found a life long home with someone who will wear the necks down to toothpicks playing them for so many years. That last player Tele was honestly my favorite. I'm partial to green and that shade was damn good looking.

And every single one of them will say, "Remember the 2022 Christmas season when I was gifted a free guitar?!" So freakin' beautiful.

Absolutely beautiful. Awesome idea and a great execution - I particularly loved the "consolation prize" bit. Wonderful.

You're awesomely generous hearted like EVERYONE could take a lesson from. Especially the dude with the alpine white Epiphone les paul sg. Dude with green Tele too. This video made me smile sooooo much. The gift of music keeps on giving...forever! God bless you dear brother. Merry Christmas.❤☺🙏👍

I love how some youtube channels are all about how many guitars can a person have and why you NEED a new and different guitar, when in reality one nice guitar would be a dream come true for alot of people.... This is a great video and the joy that a single nice guitar can bring someone is amazing! Thank you for the smiles! I got warm feelings from this one!

Looked like it was so much fun to make those people happy. Merry Christmas!

awesome video love that he gives back to the musical community

Best video ever! Hope your channel keeps being blessed with growth and success.

OMG ! Wow, SamuraiSanta ! Just catching up with some saved feed. It's the middle of the summer in steamy Fla. I loved the last two dudes ! The one with the Epi 61 SG was what I was waiting for, such great emotion and the "hug" ! Man, someone willing to give me a free guitar, (and a nice one at that) they are getting a major squeezy from me, instantly ! The last guy that said he was going to cry was awesome. I get it ! A total stranger (well sort of, heeee) giving you such an amazing gift, with "no" strings attached (pun intended) is something to get emotional about. I teared up... The world needs to have more of this kind of warmth among humans. It helps our future, if ya want one. Merry Christmas to ya from the summertime.

The irony that he played a White Stripes song and the Danelectro is way more something Jack White would play than the V. He might not even know what a Danelectro is. I’d like to think he was just camera shy but it seems more likely he and his dad traded it for the V as soon as Sammy left.
