On Wednesday, Guns N’ Roses guitarist Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal partnered with Gibson and the Little Kids Rock music program to deliver free guitars and jam with students at Mott Hall Community School in Bronx.

The guitars are part of a donation of over $75,000 worth of electric guitars that Gibson made to Little Kids Rock and distributed to schools affected by Hurricane Sandy throughout Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, Newark and Jersey City communities.

“Had a GREAT time today hangin’ & jammin’ with the students at IS192 up in the Bronx today, great buncha people!!,” posted Bumblefoot. “HUGE thanks to Gibson for donating those beautiful guitars to the school, and Little Kids Rock for doing so much for so many.”

Videos of Bumblefoot and the students jamming to GNR’s “Sweet Child O’ Mine” and Taylor Swift’s “Trouble” have surfaced and can be seen below.
