This Guitar Baby [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/les-paul-special-double) video is the essence of what father and son bonding should be like, and by that I mean hilariously hard-rocking. This son-daddy duo are seen here playing 'I Got Mine' by the Black Keys, and the baby's expressions and finger movements are almost as epic as his father's bright-orange beard.

My favorite part of the video comes towards the end when the father tries to take [Guitar Baby's guitar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lava-genie) away, only to have Guitar Baby grab his beard, as if to say, "Don't mess with me." After releasing his father's beard, the baby throws up a [metal sign](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gibson-films). How he knows how to do that at such a young age is beyond me, but I wish I grew up in or near this household.
