Brandon "TAZ" Niederauer, MonoNeon, Ghost-Note in NYC at THE DROM

[@del5606]

This is kid is one of the most tasteful players I've ever heard. His choice of notes, the spaces, the timing. It's all there - bags of it.

[@del5606]

Oh, and the band is right in the pocket

[@rodtrues1]

And Mono just chillin in the background, love the humble musical genius out here,,,,,

[@soisaid9004]

rodtrues1 everybody can play bass with a sock. A true musician plays without. Neon is nothing without. Go listen to Victor Wooten.

[@dylansconcertvids]

So Isaid crack is one hell of a drug...you should stop smoking it.

[@RobbyRabbit]

No joke, this kid was one of my students in NY

[@tay-basswalker3964]

The guitar child is great..mono is chilling holding all of that music together

[@BassByTheBay]

"Take your time, and play from your heart, brother." With one simple sentence, Sput showed how deeply he understands music.

[@nottiredofwinning3736]

I keep coming back to this. One of the greatest guitar solos I've ever heard.

[@ianking8574]

Wow!!! He's not just a prodigy, he's the real deal. He digs deep and comes up with genuine treasure -- what a pleasure!!!

[@bonifaciodachuva]

wow the kid is really tasting the notes. this band is insane. awesome jam!

[@MichelleHell]

First time I heard this I was on another tab. I was like "damn that guitar player is good, who is he?", and when I switched tabs my jaw dropped.

[@macjay1524]

Did this make anyone else cry? Man, when the funk does that to you... What a fantastic video. Such a refreshing sound during these crazy times. Keep it up, Taz!

[@michaelaikins988]

The notes this young man doesn't play are just as impressive as the ones he does... If I didn't see it, I wouldn't believe it!

[@urbster1]

mono simply killing it on bass throughout his entire solo just takes this entire thing to the next level!

[@ManelRuivo]

nice work Taz. but i would like to highlight mononeons playing here. impressive. he has all that chops and shit, but man, when this dude decides to hold the bottom, he shake the ground and all the booties. PURE FIRE!!!!!

[@jackieclark8253]

Yeah,people tend to misjudge his ability to groove all the time...he does whatever's neccessary! 👍

[@theghostofrickyricardo9975]

That's his job

[@ManelRuivo]

@@theghostofrickyricardo9975 Yes, but it is not what he is know for! Hes not the first on that. I believe the same happened to Victor Wooten and Marcus Miller.

[@theghostofrickyricardo9975]

@@ManelRuivo the first on what? The first musician to have crazy chops, but who plays only what the music requires? Every great musician since the advent of contemporary music has that sense of awareness and ability. It's all about the music.

[@lionrawr92]

i love seeing the entire band is smiling because the music is just too good

[@RayfieldA]

This what SOUL Looks like! His face shows you where he's drawing the music from! His soul!

[@The-Contractor]

Old Soul. That much talent comes from several lives of playing.

I think you press the - button on the wii.

Wait this dude is 10??? Insane!!

[@OMA254]

Over a year now that I still have to listen to this everyday! Taz is 14 there. So good! I can’t wait to see what he becomes!!

[@theloniouscoltrane3778]

2019 Now, there is really someone out there who gave this boy a talent! Maybe Taz has not yet heard all the great blues album out there when he started soloing...maybe he does not even read tabs or notes... but when you listen to him, he plays like one of the best...and he still 10 (at least in the video)...now, that is a GIFT...and the whoever gave it to him deserves an applause... GO TAZ!

[@pauldehorn]

This is one of my favorite performances ever. To get the entire room and the band to all react spontaneously to the same moment is miraculously special… never mind his age, tone, chops, heart, soul, and advanced musical choices!

[@Mooj]

Every time I see a video of this kid, he gets better and better. His career has definitely picked up,especially in the jam band scene, and he's going to be the next big name.

[@wisemanindisguise]

I don´t think I've ever smiled for 6 minutes straight in my life.

Yes sir young man.....give it to them.....He’s been here before in another life💯🙌🏽. Truly a gift from above👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💯🙌🏽

[@autumnjohnson2127]

I don't believe what I am seeing. Wow! This boy playing that Guitar is unbelievable. He is awesome.

[@highmeha]

Wow! Amazing solo! Great band all around! Taz you are gonna see the world! Thanks for sharing!

[@martinsmith3336]

all those smiles at the end, hell YES , this is what LIVE MUSIC is ALL ABOUT !!!

[@quickmcglick]

So much maturity in Taz's playing! Wow...

[@fritzjackson4336]

Maturity through music? The meaningfulness of art is independent of the creator. Maybe time to rethink your concept of maturity.

[@drumtravelfun]

Maybe its time for you to rethink overthinking.

[@snidelywhiplash8399]

yeah Fritz bring it down a notch

[@boabglen]

Fritz is jealous. Shame to feel that from a 14 year old haha.

[@Phyligree]

the kid held off on the bridge pickup till the perfect moment, sick dynamics and hes only like 12

[@Rhythmicons]

Great observation. I used to really prefer the middle position but damn the neck pup is great. I look up and he's on blastoff with the bridge.

[@AMTunLimited]

I read this comment moments before it happened and it hit me like a brick. Jesus

There is so much music in his head it hurts when it comes out !

[@brownyanti7]

Simply INCREDIBLE!!!!!!

[@jerrywallace3202]

I love how he can clearly feel the notes he's playing. People watching gotta feel it too.

[@goovialisticprofunks]

He makes Bonomassa sound like an infant. This kid is soul.

[@jas_bataille]

Bonamassa was never this good to begin with tho. He's mostly rich and own a literal museum of guitars and play very expensive collection pieces... I do command him for giving a great gig to Beth Hart who's perhaps my favorite blues singer ever except Joplin

Love the vid wit Taz & Buddy Guy...Taz just stands there wit no ax...Guy as a granddad gives him one of his axes to play then looks at him, smiles, and says, “Next time you go anywhere, take your fuckin’ guitar.” A little dicey, but everyone laughs, including the little guy.

Who or what reincarnated in this kid? Ive got chills from that playing.

Unbelievable is an understatement!!! perfect!

[@Blank587]

Kid guitarists always have the most extreme stank face when they play, all that funk just breaks their little bodies.

Wow, if TAZ came along in the 70's ...WOW!!! His talent is undeniable! I wish the 20, 30, 40 somethings could appreciate "TAZ" (old school) music today. This is real music, not FL Studio, NI Maschine, Synths etc. WOW ... I hope you make millions kid! Your talent (SKILZZZ!) are amazing!

Marlon James really? You don’t remember a little kid named Jonny Lang whose now 38 and could run circles around everyone? And still can. Hmm. They were there u can’t remember them. He was 13 and he’s still touring etc. they grow up quickly. This kids great but there’s a bunch of them. Not all stay but some do. You’re the kind that will forget this kid as soon as he grows up and you’ll be saying the same thing to the next little kid. Again, don’t switch my words around I said this kids great. He has natural born talent. But so we’re a lot that are still around. And there are others as well.

[@mariomartins2694]

@@NotYourTypicalNegro that behemoth is a grown ass man. Dude has had adult hands since he was 11

[@thatsamazin-]

@@joerobinson6199 Johnny Lang became popular because the internet didn’t exist at that time. Guys like him and Kenny Wayne would’ve never gotten noticed in the sea of the internet. If you think JL runs circles around this guy, you must have very little understanding of the guitar. Compared to guys like Taz, Max Ostro, and Marcin, they are less than remarkable. Chris Buck is another one. Johnny Lang is a good guitarist but he definitely isn’t better than all these guys. 🤷🏻‍♂️
