His technical precision and expressive phrasing captured the essence of Moore's signature style, evoking a sense of longing and nostalgia that resonated with the audience.

As Farrant poured his heart and soul into the music, the audience was spellbound. His soulful playing and emotive expression transported listeners to another realm, where the music spoke directly to the heart.

He has got some good licks in time will have alot more in his toolbox glad to hear somebody keeping Garys spirit alive.

[@kevinnobody3052]

Well I've never heard of this kid before but if he's striving to play Gary Moore's stuff then he's on track to be one of the best.

Taj is incredible! His original music is pretty great. His newest song Bad Trip along with Crossroads and Cruz. He has a song House Always Wins coming out on the 21st that sounds great!

[@ellybeckeringh103]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@ivomatuszczyk313]

I am speechless...what a great talent.

[@das250250]

Very mature playing for 14 , a good ear too , lovely inter note transitions , wonderful vibrato and timing .

[@bobdillon1138]

He has got a good ear sounds like he copied most of it from the 2010 Montreux live recording

[@bobdillon1138]

​@EscapeTheMatrix...... Its not an exact copy arrangement wise but chunks of the lead are for sure i know because i have learnt most of it myself.

[@TheBikerBubba]

One of my favorites too!

[@mamajudah7269]

HEY HEY.....MY HONEYCAKE TAJ, you are POWER DRIVING this song, if I weren't sitting I'd faint, em em em...LUV YA !💥💥💥💥❤❤❤❤❤ !

[@woodypope7421]

Very smooth playing. An Aussie I gather.

[@user-vi2ls9wy8v]

😂 with that implication, ALL aussie guitarists are "smooth" lol

[@markosswald7041]

@@user-vi2ls9wy8v So true. I gave up being a guitar hero, to make room for Taj. It's an an Aussie thing!!!!!

[@fowlerperry8063]

If he's not the reincarnated srv , awesome in his own right but I see Stevie in there,wow

[@angryeyelive-rt8im]

Totally agree with you. He will be big soon.

[@thehumblepundit9790]

LOL "Guitar God"...what does that even mean?? Step down folks. When he creates a record like In Step, I'll consider it. Maybe.

[@johnalexander3629]

It means a phenomenal guitar player. He's definitely on the right track if you have seen other phenomenal guitarists. He's already writing his own music and his covers are his own interpretation of the best players according to many greatest players lists. What's the critiques you see in technical skills, speed, feel and interpretation that you see which we are missing. Do enlighten us to his shortfalls and maybe post a video of you playing, showing the way to improve on what he's doing.

[@claremanor-nq9jx]

You can download his 4 #1 songs on all platforms.

[@groovelife415]

Do you know how many 14 year old teens play circles around this kid on Instagram and KZbin? Taj was a novelty when he was a little kid. Now he's just your average, run of the mill blues guitar player that has nothing new to offer. No feel and his facial expressions are forced, just like they were when dad was forcing him to make them when he was 5 or 6 years old.

[@paulfitz6614]

Huh? Please upload your video of you playing like this thanks mate. We are all waiting.

[@groovelife415]

@@paulfitz6614 ah, the good old "you can't play like that" argument. I in fact can play far better than that, and have played all over the US and EU. No I will not be proving it because I don't care to. I have nothing to prove about myself when critiquing a side show act. However, I do have another channel with hundreds of videos of playing festivals and clubs all over, which is not hard to find. Instead, I will leave you proof which backs up my original comment. Here is an 8 year old that Taj could only dream of playing as well as. His novelty has worn off. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4KznGeChbeSeqc

[@claremanor-nq9jx]

Clearly you're representing an adversary of this savant, virtuoso who needs no introduction from you.

[@ronmazurkiewicz3331]

I've never heard a bigger load of crap in all my life i feel sorry for you as you obviously have no idea at all your musicsl IQ is non existing.

[@michaelmacpherson-wm6mh]

if you get nothing from his playing you must be dead inside. how sad it must be to be you.
