Aussie Guitar Prodigy TAJ FARRANT Covers Garry Moore Classic-Pro Guitarist Reacts

[@Dr_KAP]

This is just so mesmerisingly beautiful. That boy was born to play. ❤

[@valogden]

Taj's first album Chapter One was #2 on Billboard Blues charts and #1 on iTunes worldwide blues charts. It is under consideration for a Grammy. He opened a few shows for Buddy Guy and played with him. He will be performing with the Jimi Hendrix Experience tour for a few shows. I finally was able to go to 2 of his shows. It's hard to articulate how amazing Taj is. When he's playing you see him feeling each note and you feel them too. He's pne of the best I've seen in 50 years of going to concerts. I've seen a lot of great guitar players but there is something special about Taj. It's hard to explain. Where you visit with him, he's a very nice easy to talk to teen. Onstage he's special. His parents are so nice. They're a humble but dynamic family. His sister plays the drums but has been working on the keyboard and will be releasing her song soon.

Yes!! Taj Farrant is quickly becoming “One of the Greats” He is simply amazing & plays with heart & soul!! Taj Farrant is not only an amazing musician; he is an incredible human. Taj has a bright future!!!

[@PamelaThomas-t9z]

I have to be the first to say that this kid has been blessed by all the past greats all at once and I know that my favorite artist " PRINCE " is smiling down on what GOD has created in the name of the all the great guitarist and musicians that he has blessed with and he and the rest of the world have been waiting for thank you GOD for this great gift that you gave him to share with the us. We have truly been blessed with the real and raw talent that is Taj Farrant please never give it up.

Taj recently was the star guest performer at the celebration they had in Minneapolis for Prince's 40th anniversary release of Purple Rain. Taj was able to listen to some of Prince's unreleased music in the vault. He also was able to record in Prince's recording studio and tour his home. Taj played at the street fair they had for fans, opened for Morris Day and NPG at the State Theater and played Purple Rain with NPG at the end of the night. He also performed at Paisley Park. Taj was asked by Prince's estate curator to play a lesser known Prince song The Ride...incredible and cheeky for 15 lol. Loved it! These are all under Taj's KZbin channel. He's also recently changed a bit how he plays Gary Moore's Parisienne Walkways. He just makes ot better. Taj is fun to watch because he's always changing his playing a bit. I'm sure it's part of his emotions. He said he plays the notes so people recognize the song and then he plays so you know how he's feeling. He's playing at a number of festivals this summer and opening for Buddy Guy at a few of his shows. Taj's album is being released next month. So far he's had 6 original songs go to #1 on iTunes blues charts. They are Crossroads, Cruz, Bad Trip, House Always Wins, 2x2 and I Give Up.

He’s the best electric guitar player ever, imo Iv watched him forever

Yo Mike! Such a talented musician! So much soul in such a young guy, clearly genius in his DNA! Great reaction! Sending big hugs and much love ❤🎉

Dreadful reaction… dripping with envy..

Gary is my number 1 six-stringer. He was ferocious! This young kid did a fine job on this tune. Kudos !!

Can’t argue that. ✌️

Lucky enough to have been able to go to two of his concerts. In Bowling Green Ohio. Peace ✌️

[@weeroonafarm5981]

Awesome thank you! I think Taj is 14 now… there’s an incredible version of Voodoo Child, SRV style, from when he was 11 years old 🤘

Young fella certainly has some skill!! Talking of young guys with skill. Did you ever come across Nathan Cavaleri? A absolute genius on a guitar. He was all over tv down here when he was 10 years old... Probably 20 years ago. Haven't heard too much about him lately. I think he's been living in the US for quite a while. As a kid he played with BB King, Mark Nofler, Booker T. You name it. Love your show.

[@sharenebreen376]

Nathan lives in Australia and has been touring the country. Saw him Sept ‘23 in Brisbane Queensland on his ‘Miracles ‘ tour. An outstanding show. 🎸🎶🌟

Taj Farrant wasborn on May 21, 2009. Here he is playing it when he was ten years old: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYG6gYaZjLulmNU&t Playing Gry Moore's STill Got the Blues when he was nine years old: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJC6c6GshMeBb7M Playing Comfortably Numb three years ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/omjIf2tvh5lgY6c Playing While My Guitar Gently Weeps at the age of 10 - watch it in full screen mode to see his facial expressions, he plays with every cell of his body! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIDFl4egoNStr9E I've been following him for six years, watching his amazing progress with each passing year. Note that he got his first guitar when he was seven years old!

Taj is 14 I believe. And at the end of his third USA tour. A long arduous journey following in the footsteps of many that go before him. He would be quite weary and can be forgiven for dropping a few notes. Which probably went largely unnoticed by the audience after a few silky-smooth solos. He'll be back home here in Australia visiting his extended family soon. But the whole family will return here with an awakened sense of achievement. Watch this space.

[@tonypeake467]

Very impressive from my country's muso. May have hit a couple of bum notes, but he nailed the great Gary Moore's tone. Loved that long bit of feedback. Will investigate him further

[@michaelgoyettemusic]

Yes there were a couple flubbed notes in the melody part but when he let loose it was pretty wild. ✌️

[@robertbuston1951]

😅14ytr s old , he his crazy good , really flying under the radar, his S. R.V. covers are wild.

I was able to see Taj live in Springfield Mo, in 2023, great up an coming musician, he's played with Santana, I think one of his guits was a gift whats' with the hiss in your audio ?

[@nessareynard8443]

He's still young, still 14.

[@jeanhiebert3425]

I've been keeping an eye on him. Saw a vid of him as just a kid absolutely shredding. I think he has a sibling that plays as well

[@michaelgoyettemusic]

Yeah he’s crazy good!! Sibling or family or something. It’s in his blood. ✌️

[@motaman8074]

His sister Jazel plays the drums.

[@dougklaffer8580]

Sister on drums

[@nessareynard8443]

His sister, Jazel, plays drums but her musical interests are not the same as Taj's.

[@curieusechine]

Yo dear Michael, I remember Taj when he was 9 years old and he was already very impressive. If I'm not wrong is now 14 or 15 y.o max 😉🤟, Gilles

[@curieusechine]

May be you could reat to the young Taj when he was 10 - Surfing with The alien by Joe Satriani : kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqmblIiIbqenadEsi=PGZ478CCu4-omUpA

[@curieusechine]

Another Idea could be his cover of Purple Rain when he was 9 at Australia Got Talent 😉

[@valogden]

Or a more current version with him playing with Prince's musical director Morris Hayes kzbin.info/www/bejne/qp6ZiISsrbOtjqMsi=cNUJ2mvLux2c2ITa

Taj Farrant "Red house" @ the beacon theater

[@ricleonardis9314]

Very rarely does Taj look at the fretboard in most of the song he covers. His facial expressions are 1sr class. I think he has Matteo Mancuso beat even though different styles, He is moving from Australia to the US very soon. I would love to see Taj go up against Matteo

[@Zorbacles]

You need to check out Charles berthoud. The best bass player I have ever seen. His Barbie Girl and smells like teen spirit is amazing

[@KarensCarnivoreJourney-qz1uh]

You were lucky you heard the whole thing. Most of the time he breaks that high E string right after the long feedback note. He also sings & writes his own music. If he does a cover, its because the song is that good. This one is his mum & dads fave. He was 14 1/2 at this show. He was invited to play with The Jimi Hendrix Experience. He's doing 3 shows with them this week.
