I love how the guy was like: Okay frank, we're here, you got a guitar, we're gonna write a song in 5 easy steps! And Frank says: Step #1 don't sit down and be like I'm gonna write a song!

I love how he got lost in the music and when he remembered about the video he was like "oh shit".

His hair. I have been blessed. Also, his hands. And the way he can hold his pick in the crook of his middle finger. I could listen to him speak all day. So soothing. Bless this man.

[WTF]

Frank:Hits randomly at his guitar.
Me: holy c that was the best thing I've ever heard.

[teyanajoyfarley]

He was so unable to wait to play. So he just gave up fighting it in the end and created magic!

I literally just went through this taking screenshots.

[Angelica-sonb]

I could listen to that little song he played forever.
