Taj is my favorite lately but Tomo and Matteo sound AMAZING together.

[@johnsguitarlounge]

@BluesLover1 I completely understand!

[@nancyruszkiewicz7484]

I love all music, but Taj is my favorite! He can play anything with so much feeling. He also writes and sings. He's a true entertainer!! He's so humble and giving. Fancy Nancy 😍

[@johnsguitarlounge]

@nancyruszkiewicz7484 I agree completely! It makes me wonder what he’ll be doing in 5 years. Or even 1 year!

[@johnsguitarlounge]

@nancyruszkiewicz7484 I wanted to let you know that this Saturday 7/6 at 8pm Eastern I’m going to have a livestream concert to honor my sister-in-law Laurie who passed away last week. I’ll be playing lots of blues-rock, classic rock, and old country. I hope you can join.

I just heard a clip of Taj Farrant's Mumma raised a man. It's outrageous.

[@johnsguitarlounge]

@claremanor-nq9jx isn’t it amazing how he writes?

As a young girl I always wanted to learn how to play guitar, however, with 3 other sisters, my parents chose the piano, lol..I played in a bell choir from the age of 13 until 2 years ago due to wrist issues & unable to play comfortably. I really enjoyed each one of these guys, that crazy criss cross guitar was CRAZY, I never saw anything like it...anyway Taj will always be my favorite!! I've enjoyed MANY bands over the years & still do & they have some great players as well, Scorpions, AC/DC, Poison, Bon Jovi...you get the picture but Taj has that blues & his whole story I just am a fan for the rest of my life!!

[@johnsguitarlounge]

@audrayoung7102 I’m a big fan of those bands too! Do you play guitar yourself? I don’t think I’ve asked you before.

[@audrayoung7102]

@johnsguitarlounge no unfortunately I don't. I wanted to as a young girl but mom & dad bought a piano, they had four girls...lol then I got involved in the bells choir threw my church and recently just gave it up due to wrist issues. But I do LOVE a good jam!!

[@johnsguitarlounge]

@audrayoung7102 I completely understand that. I started on piano too, even though my dad was a guitar player lol. But he wanted me to get a good musical foundation first.

[@johnsguitarlounge]

@audrayoung7102 hi Audra, I wanted to let you know that this Saturday 7/6 at 8pm Eastern I’m putting on a livestream concert to honor my sister-in-law Laurie who passed away last week.
