Chase Rice gifts a sick little boy with his first guitar for 3 Chords & the Truth video (Watch!…)

“There was nothing fake. There was no acting“, says Chase Rice about the emotional/inspirational video for his latest single “Three Chords & The Truth.”    The video features eight-year-old Nicholas Thompson. Chase hand-picked Nicholas to star along-side him in the video in hopes of maybe changing his life for the better with the gift of music (like his father did for him as a child.)

Rice and his team put out a call on social media for applicants but it was ultimately Chase, himself who discovered and chose Nicholas,  “We found Nicholas – I was in South Korea when I decided. In the email in the video I’m literally in South Korea and I’m like, ‘This is our kid. Let’s go after it.’ It was a hard decision cause there were four or five kids we narrowed it down to that deserved it. I just felt like he was the one and it was a three, four-week long video we shot from Nashville, Tennessee to Arkansas is where I bought the guitar, Springdale, Arkansas to South Korea to Morehead, Kentucky, and it’s all real footage.”

In fact, the video tells the story better than I can here so let’s just watch!…
