Many teenagers approach rock and metal music with the aim of copying their musical idols. Most often, these aspiring musical artists begin by learning to play the most popular stringed instrument of all time - the guitar. Everyone would like to become the new Jimi Hendrix, but young Fallon has another musical legend that he aspires to: Dimebag Darrell, the American heavy metal guitarist who played in Pantera until the day he died (Darrell was murdered by one of his fans during a concert). Young Fallon often went to a music shop in his hometown to play the same model guitar as the late Dimebag Darrell - until one day he received a wonderful surprise.

Fallon is a young, aspiring metal guitarist suffering from a rare genetic syndrome, Williams-Beuren Syndrome. This is a condition that causes facial anomalies, intellectual disability, sociability issues and a hyper-enthusiastic character. And we find all of these characteristics in young Fallon. Dedication is also one of Fallon's strengths, and he will spend hours playing all the riffs of his music idol. On December 31, 2021, the musical instrument shop where Fallon often went to admire and "try out" his favorite guitar, published a moving post about the young guitarist on Facebook.

Everyone at the shop knew that Fallon's dream was to own that guitar: "Eight months ago, when Fallon was in the shop playing it, a customer noticed the boy. This customer was so moved, that he returned to the shop shortly afterward and he asked us to give the guitar to Fallon anonymously the next time we saw him." A complete stranger, therefore, decided to buy the guitar for the young Fallon and to give it to him anonymously.

The problem was that Fallon didn't show up at the shop in the following days like he had before, Then, after a while, he finally returned to the shop with his mother. It turned out that Fallon's family had moved to Texas and this explained his absense. Finally, with the teenager's arrrival, the shop owners managed to hand him the donated guitar and see him overcome with joy.

A video from the last post. Please read the story. Congrats Fallon!
