I’m the daughter of the couple that gave the guitar to Taj. I love watching Taj play my dads guitar. Warms my heart so so much ❤ one of my favorite guitars growing up. Have Fun Taj!

[@AB-C1]

That's lovely to hear! I followed Taj last 5 years or so and its amazing just how Talented he is! I truly believe he will become and then be remembered as one of the All-time Greats! He's phenomenal ALREADY! There's not many people who can play Gary Moore like Gary Moore! Not to mention Joe Satriani, Hendrix and SRV.. God bless your dad for gifting him a guitar, that's a proper genuine thing to do.. All the best from London 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

[@juliepearce6667]

What a blessing to Taj, and your Dad and Mum will reap blessings for giving it! From the heart, that was! God bless, from America!

[@marklesan20]

So cool to know you have the Taj Connection 🎉

[@kenramsey2129]

He is a great kid dad deserves a shout out to dad for raising a inspiration on the industry

[@kenramsey2129]

I would of gave it back to Taj if I owned it that's were it belongs I bet they can't play it like he could

[@stefanklaus1652]

He is on the top list of guitar players in this world 🤟🏻❤️

[@aguy2542]

people probably won’t believe me, but i’m friends with taj and i hung out with him last backstage night because he was in town. he’s such a normal down to earth person, you wouldn’t even know he played guitar and then he gets up there and shreds it’s incredible

[@whatsthisbuttondo2885]

This isn’t just a great rig rundown. It’s a wonderful example of a family unit. You can see Taj’s fathers support and passion for his son. They seem like a wonderful family to just sit down and break bread with and hear stories.

[@naterevolution]

Thanks so much my friend. Fatherhood is something that is very important to me and I know you feel the same way. It is certainly not easy. When I see a dad doing a good job, I wanna encourage him. Us dad‘s gotta stick together!

[@sheiladodds4186]

Tuning in from BC Canada I'm 66 and I love this family. Taj is an unbelievable guitar player. Amen to your comment

[@PaulRhodes420]

Taj is amazing, he's the best! When he plays, I always get goosebumps from the way he makes it talk! I absolutely love this guy!! Fan for life!!!! 🤘😝🎸🎶🎶🎶

[@justingleeson3072]

Hey Nate, Taj’s FOH Engineer, Justin here. Thank you to you and everyone at Palen’s! We will definitely be stopping by again next time we come back through Springfield!

[@naterevolution]

[@reginaldtaylor4698]

[@suzettebavier4412]

I thoroughly enjoyed this, & am SO happy for you Taj! If ANYONE deserves it, it's You💛Taj. Big Love

[@iancullen6994]

I've seen a lot of negative comments on FB because I've shared so many of your videos Taj, but 90% are positive. A lot of jealous old men out there! You're a natural and so refreshing Taj!!! Your dad's awesome too!!! Keep going! You're fantastic!!! ❤

[@virginian7317]

Using that pinky is an old Roy Buchanan trick, the true Master of the Telecaster! ,The only man Jimmy Hendricks refused to do a pick off with.

[@suzettebavier4412]

Love this!👊🏼

[@davidstatham7760]

That guitar is in good hands with Taj 🎸🎶

Taj is a SUPERSTAR!!!! Been a big fan of his for years.

[@donna1473]

Thank you for a fascinating look in to this amazing talent! Family fabulous!

[@BalooBear]

Such a cool story!!!!!! thank you Nate White for allowing us to get to see a close up and personal Taj Farrant and his dad!!! Love your energy Nate. I love to listen to Taj. I am always drawn into Taj's musical expression. This is Epic!

[@naterevolution]

Thank you so much for this wonderful, encouraging comment! We appreciate you!

[@BalooBear]

I greatly appreciated the heartfelt interview you did. Also saw how talented you are as well. You have a gentle spirit, and wonderful encouragement. I think we will be looking back to this interview in 6 to 10 years and realize how epic and legendary interview(s) these were. I believe Taj is a rare find and as long as he and his family stay focused and cool headed, and continue to have the realizations that you never stop growing and learning. This interview reminded me of the interview where SRV was jamming with Albert King and Albert took the time to say some similar things you said to Taj. One thing albert said to SRV was that there is not a time to sit on your laurels and say you have arrived, but to always keep learning. He said the better you get the harder you have to work to continue to improve. Thank you!!! @@naterevolution

[@BalooBear]

FYI I am passing / sharing the great Podcast of Chords & Coffee, and catching as many of the Chords & Coffee shows@@naterevolution

[@briancullen5183]

Thanks, Rick! It was fun to make this, and I’m hoping we can do it again at some point down the road. Check out his music if you haven’t already.👍

[@mariannesena5201]

I just love this kid! He looks so much like my great-grandson. His talent is amazing!

[@pawznplay2772]

[@davidtucker4341]

[@ajkillam1]

I am tearing up about this story, Taj I love your story and and the way you make your guitar sing. I've been following your vids since you started. Your are a total ly the greatest player, you are the Brightest Light lovie! Teach teach teach...Me,. God / Universe Blessed you, keep at it, Kid!

[@user-cs4pq7dq4e]

what i,ve noticed is he use,s the pick and then he roles it up into his hand use,s his fingers and then rolls the pick back .I,ve never seen that before.That,s plain crazy

[@jonda2282]

Well, I guess this was Chords & Coffee with Taj's dad. It'd be lovely to hear from Taj occasionally.

[@user-cs4pq7dq4e]

Is that a flying V

[@ajkillam1]

In the 70s Jimi Hendrix was my idle, David Waters , Just saw Santana, i love guitar. Teach me

[@ajkillam1]

I have a few pedals, a few guitars, one small , I have that straman reverb pedal, a few lunch box amps

[@wdbuchner]

Question, where do you set your stage volume? Do you set it with the lower volume clean tone then use your volume knob on your guitar for boost/gain? Or do you set everything at unity?

[@naterevolution]

Hey, Dave! That’s a fantastic question. I typically set my stage volume with my clean & dirty rhythm sound. My boost is above and beyond that. I let the sound guy know what my boost sounds like and ask him if that’s too “boosty”… generally speaking, whoever is running audio production, appreciates that sort of consideration. I then make bold promises about not getting any louder after that… 😄

[@ekalhoefer1]

Dave Friedman of Mercury Rev pedal board?

[@naterevolution]

Dave Friedman of Friedman amps. 👍

[@lawrenceklein3524]

Karma is REAL! 👍

[@marklesan20]
