[@marcgatto9675]

Yeah. A Prince cover! Nicely done

[@JHasselroth]

This young man is amazing to me. Not only is he a phenomenal guitarist and entertainer. He is a considerate, friendly, and conscientious young man. The future of music. I love you Taj Farrant.

[@gloriaweeks6206]

@@JHasselroth I agree ! He seems like a peaceful soul. I pray he stay Humble. It takes alot of strength and self respect and discipline to not go down a dark path in the music world. It would be so great to watch him be happy and healthy and smart not take that road. There I am taking like a worried grandma . Hahaha

[@valogden]

I think Brian May is a great example of how a person can be a superstar and a down to earth person. These are the people to admire.

[@Dawnatello1]

Just when you think he couldn’t POSSIBLY get any better, he goes and does this. He blows my mind every time I hear him play. If any of you ever get a chance to see him live, DO NOT miss out. You will leave with your face melted off.

[@galaxyreaper2714]

He gets more and more amazing each time I watch him play. Such a wonderfully awsome talent!! He's already a superstar in my book!!!!

[@DH-xm3hc]

I honestly believe Stevie Ray Vaughn reached down from heaven and touched this child. I've been following him since he was 7yrs old and he gives me hope for the future of music 🎶 ✌️❤️🌼

[@chriskelly6559]

Ditto.

[@mikewest9323]

Just amazing!!!!

[@DH-xm3hc]

And what? And is just a stupid statement and there is nothing stupid about my statement regarding Taj Farrant. Get over yourself Mike. Really if you can do better than Taj where is your video?​@@mikewest9323

[@DH-xm3hc]

​What kind of statement is "And?" If you want an answer to something ask a question Mike. Get real dude.​@@mikewest9323

Makes me proud to be an Aussie young Taj ! Keep it happening man !

[@lorimckellarAKAloutae]

Really??? Proud to be an aussie??? Aussies didn't seem to appreciate him at all. When he went busking there, aussies kept walking as if he wern't even there playing. It seems he had to move to America for his career to finally take off. America Loves and Appreciates Taj!!! 💜💜💜

[@efengreat]

That is not true we know he's brilliantenough to be on the world stage ✌️

Señor Tahj!!!! I have a cover request of Gustavo Cerati! You choose the song. Mucho blessings from Puerto Rico!🤙🏾

[@SandraSmith-c9n]

You are a better guitar player ive ever heard

[@Alsacecypr]

Wow! What a song for a 15-year-old! Blues is one thing. But this is blues with funk. Didn't know Taj could funk it up so well! And the Paisley Park celebration was a few days before this gig. Could someone at PP have given him fashion advice? This is the first time I've seen Taj with a "look". And it's good. Looks don't affect the music. Taj's guitar and vocals are now officially off the charts. Watch his June 2024 NY performance of "Red House" by Jimi Hendrix via SRV if you need proof. But Taj is ambitious, and looks make things possible that wouldn't be possible otherwise. He's not a "natural beauty," but he can make up for that with style. Go for it, Taj! Like everything, it will take time to figure out. But you can do it!

[@mamajudah7269]

Whut are you doing up so early.....Go Ta Bed ! I see you Jammin in Minneapolis the crowd seems like they love you, that's what I call common out ground, you're showin out. Ah watch what ? 🙃🙃🙃💋
