    He didn't just write this song... He played it off the cuff to the backing track. Made it up as he went along. You heard that song being created for the first time ever right there on the spot. He does that on his Facebook live broadcasts all the time. It's amazing how he just ad libs the greatest riffs I've ever heard. I was born in 63, So I grew up listening to all the great's. He, already at his young age, has got them all beat in the talent department. When he played with Santana, Carlos stopped for a moment and his eyes got big because he couldn't believe what was coming out of that child. Was a beautiful thing to watch, a talent like that be amazed by this young man. It's my personal opinion that he out played Carlos that day. But, like I said that's just my opinion. I found this boy shortly after he started and he hasn't stopped amazing me yet. Just when you are sure there is no possible way his talent can increase because he is already at top level... He frigging out does himself. I don't believe there is a ceiling over this boy that restricts his playing. I think he will spend his life out playing himself and will wind up taking music to a level it has never been to before in all of musical history, in all genres. But, that's just my opinion. The young man has limitless talent and all he can do is take all of us fans higher than we have ever been with the greats we grew up with. He is a phenomenal prodigy. He has a bit of every great artist's style inside of him. He takes all those styles, bundles them all together, tosses in some style of his own on top of it all and out comes music that will take you beyond the stars while tears stream down your face. His music is so beautiful, crying is the only way you can release what his music creates inside of you. No one, and I've heard them all, has ever affected my soul with their music such as this young man has. It's truly a wonderful thing to experience. His talent is beyond words and he has an entire lifetime ahead of him that's just going to allow him to get better and better. Is that even possible?!?

    I’ve listened to rock music for over 50 years. Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Hendrix, Sabbath and Deep Purple have been the foundation of my musical journey. I thought the chances of hearing anyone who could stand on the stage with these immortals had long gone. I started following Taj about two years ago. He was obviously a prodigious talent back then. I’ve listened to this track about 10 times in the last couple of weeks. I didn’t want to get too excited after hearing it for the first time. If that is a true jam over a backing track as the title suggests. I can now state that this is one of the greatest guitar tracks I have ever heard. WOW! If you read this Taj. You have made a 65 year old rocker feel like a young man again.
    THANK YOU. Look after your health and keep practicing and progressing and ithe Rock and Roll Hall Of Fames youngest inductee title will be yours.

      Ronald Spiby Hi Ronald, I’m a wee bit older, hitting 69 soon.... completely agree, so much talent and soul in one so young. The human brain seemingly has no limits. Music becomes more important and precious as we age, helps keep Alzheimer at bay, live music is “the thing”. “It’s only rock and roll.... but I “... love it! Alex in Norway, dedicated Strolling Bone and Jimi, and now Taj, fan.

      @ronaldspiby512 Před 3 lety +21

      Alexander Mills Hi Alex. I’m pretty sure that none of the greats were this good at 11 yrs old. There are plenty of good young guitarists, but it’s like their goal is to play as fast and load as they can. Taj doesn’t just play the notes he feels the notes. So rare in someone so young. Each track he plays he’s inviting you to join him in playing the track. Those of us that accept the invite are rewarded with a few minutes of pure bliss. You and I are old enough to appreciate just how good Taj is and will always accept his invites. I guess we have both proved that you’re never to old to rock!
      Take care and stay safe, Ron

      Per The Rock Hall :
      "Artists become eligible for induction 25 years after the release of their first record. Criteria include the influence and significance of the artists' contributions to the development and perpetuation of rock and roll."
      But... Then again ⬇️

      When band members such as Ilan Rubin (not a member of NIN 25yrs ago) along with others that don't meet the Halls criteria, are inducted (?! ) But solo artists have to wait 25yrs after the release of their first record...????
      I call bullshit on The Hall.

This young man here has been hand picked by God. Such talent...with a soul only the weathered can pull from their souls. This brings tears to my eyes. To be so blessed. And thank you Taj for keeping our rock and roll spirits alive . Music now days is lost. Auto tunes what would Taylor and Ariana do without you..my nephew said he was bringing the shred back. And he did. Taj..,take us all the way home. I'm sold. Will always follow. Thank you Lord for this gift..and thank you dad for instilling the love of music in this young man

I'm 59, so I know she didn't grow up during the Rock n Roll era or with greats like Stevie Ray and Eric Clapton. I was so thrilled that she loved his music just as much as, it sounds like, you and I do. I've noticed he touches the hearts of many different generations. You don't find that in many players in itself. Listening to him for a big part of my day is a great day for me!

Bless this kids heart,for learning to " play" an instrument ,an extension of your soul,to share and help others through his music, by just doing what he loves.I am 64 and have a good knowledge of music ,listened to all of the " alleged best" ,which is always debatable .Moore,Hendrix Page Clapton.......and on and on.Yet is music not taste? Like everything else? If you don't like it that's fine

    It’s scary. A Mozart prodigy to a level I’ve never seen NOR would I expect the public has ever seen. I just hope his father puts in place a serious level of protocols and measures to thwart those who would try to capitalize on this amazing young talent. He’s “still” a kid but his talent has slingshot him into a world very few will ever conceive.

      I do not disagree that he is a prodigy however, just look up Christone KINGFISH Ingram - Empty Promises

    Okay,
    I’m gonna say it. I have not heard a guitarist that has really checked all the boxes for me since SRV. I have to say Taj....you are an open channel. I highly doubt that you will ever hit a ceiling or plateau with your talent. I can see now that you have truly boundless passion. Kudos to your folks and teacher. You are a once in a lifetime talent. I miss SRV so much and hearing you puts a smile on my face. Keep chasing your dream son.....The world is ready and waiting for a genius like you. Absolutely incredible playing!

      @@robpattison6606 You mean Raw Dawg? Picked up guitar age 4, first album age 16. Considered to be a *child prodigy*
      Plays right-handed guitar "upside-down" with the bass E string on the bottom.
      Now 45 year's old, born in Memphis TN, now based in Greensboro NC where his wife is from, just 45 miles from where I live in Danville VA.
      He won Blues Music Awards Best Artist of the Year award in 2019 and 2020. He has 18 albums already.
      Eric Gales was born to the guitar, just as Taj Farrant was. Taj has had social media to put him out here for us to share ... Only in the last year or two has Eric started to gain notoriety. He's still young. I hope he soon gets the attention he so richly deserves.
      Thanks Rob for mentioning his name. 🙋‍♀️🎶🎸
