I was 9 years old at the time that guitar was built. All I did back then was get the daylights knocked out of me regularly and brace myself for the next round! I somehow managed to squeeze out some kind of musical career anyway, and I could only imagine where I would be if I had the right backing and support. You've got a gift and a chance of a lifetime...savor it, appreciate it and never forget your roots. Always hold dear those who brought your dreams to reality. Many would squander them foolishly. Please guard them as something sacred!
This little fella is a local Central Coast lad. I've seen him many times as a guest spot with our local bands. The kid is unbelievable for his years. A big star of the future. I know his grandfather, who is a great influence on him and a great bloke
Please pass on my amazement at his talent and best wishes for the future which I'm sure will lead to me buying tix to see him playing on his first international tour.

Taj Farrant is now 11 and has had his own YT channel for awhile. Here's a link to a recent video I've been playing every day. He just gets better and better. th-cam.com/video/EGJmapZ_6J0/w-d-xo.html
I get depressed when I watch this kid, I've been playing longer than he's been alive and he's already better than me.... DAMNIT!!!! oh well I still enjoy playing
Taj!!! Good on ya mate, you go on doing what you're doing. The world's your oyster, all you need to do is keep on with practicing and it will all be there for you. Great to see!
He’s like the kid in the skatepark that I was wanted to throw my board at because they were so much better than me and half my age lol. Good stuff brother! Gibson and Shure sponsorship, that’s so cool man!
So this takes me back to the late 80s, early 90s. I walk into Big Apple Music in New Hartford NY and this 12 year old kid is tearing up a Fender on a little Gorilla amp. The owner Mark comes over and says "What do you think?" Picking my jaw off the ground I respond "I'm not in that league." My introduction to Joe Bonamassa.
It's a good point you guys make that as long as kids pick up a guitar and bother to get even GOOD at it, music is not dead. There is hope for future generations. (Goes to watch Taj play SRV on recommendations) Thanks.
Some people are natural athletes, some are academics and some are gifted musically. Parents should support their kids in what ever path they choose. This young mans parents should be so proud.
Love this kid, I'm out on my deck, drinking whiskey with tears in my eyes watching a wonderful talent. He is such a gift to all the world, thank you kid you made my day.💖💖💖💖💖

This little guy is so cool. Good kid, good parents...all the best.

This guy was a hell of a guitar player in his last life, and now he is just beyond awesome.
TAJ = TAK / TERRY ALAN KATH.

AND HE STILL LOVES TO JOKE AROUND!
First time I heard him on Gibson guitar I put him as my Instagram storyTaj is so fabulous that kid was born with music in his soul He is a diamond
Gibson as a sponsor at nine years old! You’ve been blessed kiddo! Fantastic!
He is one with the music. 🥰

I’ve been playing for close to 6 years and he’s still probably better than me. I’ve only written 2 songs and they’re pretty bad😂
Crap I just watched one of his covers and he’s wayyy better than me
@@yoshuaposhua25 I've been playing over 25 years and he is better than me.

My opinion, 1 in a billion are born with this type of gift. Congratulations.
All these years of practice, and a third grader is still better than me.
Lol!! Me too!!
Lol!! I know, right!!
Ditto
100% why i gave up on guitar lol
I feel like that too.Ive been playing thirty years and I’m still crap. Compared to this kid.
The little genius just love this GUY sure he will go on to be one of the greatest guitarists of all time
Taj..... Thank you so much for this wonderful thing you do!
Like a fine Wine, just got better with age and will blow your mind!! Love this dude!!

Taj ..... you are the real deal, mate ..... Rock the World
I am amazed! Been watching vids this morning. Taj is going to rock the world. Best of luck always
Driven you are up to be the best, I love the music you’re amazing. Keep playing Taj
I’m 10 years older than him and he’s inspired me to give guitar another try. Amazing
Finally a kid who just doesn't run through scales and shred non stop, way to go young fella!
You made a grown man cry with joy ..... well done chap
How do people dis a 9year old that has so much potential at least he does not have a game boy in his face 247 keep rocking Taj I love your commitment

Ohhh Myyyy Gawd!! We'll be hearing from Taj for a very long time!
Apparently Gibson has a long-range plan. Sharp-looking Melody maker.
I get depressed when I watch this kid, I've been playing longer than he's been alive and he's already better than me.... DAMNIT!!!! oh well I still enjoy playing
It seems like some deceased rock star takes over some people.
Wow brother don't stop you're just starting awesome work
I’m gonna call my Son and say I’m sorry for not being a better dad.
Looool we can all be better.
I wish my dad would apologize for beating the hell out of me from 10-15.
Well I'm glad I didn't do anything like that. I couldn't live with myself. I have enough guilt.
Hahahahaha seriously we suck.
Started playing when I was 10 and my parents would say can you play a song all the way through though laughing out loud
Stay awesome little man with a ginormous soul sound.
Taj!!! Good on ya mate, you go on doing what you're doing. The world's your oyster, all you need to do is keep on with practicing and it will all be there for you. Great to see!
Great job there Taj!! So happy for you. You are amazing and one of the upcoming guitar heroes. Stick in there and keep showing us how to do it!!
That’s just fantastic! Only just stumbled across this miraculous young man.
What a laid back style. So cool
He’s like the kid in the skatepark that I was wanted to throw my board at because they were so much better than me and half my age lol. Good stuff brother! Gibson and Shure sponsorship, that’s so cool man!
Taj just released his first single ... Congratulations 😊

Taj Farrant improv track
A new era! I would love to see him pay respects to the late, great Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix!
He already is by being exactly who he is and doing exactly what he does ✌ ❤ 🎸
Shannon Hughes or maybe do new stuff rather than staying in the past
He just added value to that guitar !
Great work Taj,great feel as well brother.
This kid is ABSOLUTELY amazing !!!

Down Under is No Longer Down Under .. Sweet
At that age my Dad finally trusted me to put the needle on a record. That was a real accomplishment in our house.😳😬 I also learned how to spell IQ.👍👍
Great work Taj. Stay at it mate!

Kid sounds awesome
Taj Farrant , new host of guitar of the day . Killer playing the young man. 😎
Some people are natural athletes, some are academics and some are gifted musically. Parents should support their kids in what ever path they choose. This young mans parents should be so proud.
STRAYA!!! cool stuff Taj
kids like this are the reason I would never embarrass myself by trying out a new guitar or amplifier in a music store on a Saturday
Australia - Tommy Emmanuel playing gigs at 6 , Taj at 9 amazing
Taj... the Savior of guitar within his generation! If not for him... Rap or Pop... would Die!!!
When I was 9 I was learning how to discreetly eat my boogers. Nice job, lad.
@@dadasha WTF? Why the fucking hostility, asshole?
Dadasha weirdo
Same, and i still didn’t perfect is 😂
I quit cold turkey when I was 7...

Bright future for this little guy; great stuff!!
He is going to be great......
Great playing. Love this Melody Maker with 3 pickups. Didn't know about it. He'll be a professional guitarist by the time he's in his early 20's. How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice Practice Practice 😀
I wonder if this kid is related to Yuri Farrant, a noted director and producer of surf flicks in the 70's.He's pretty good.
Could hear some Clapton/Cream in there. Tear 'em up, kid. :-)
Taj is the Man!
Sounds good
His parents must be the coolest enablers ever. Good luck dude. Cool
Give ur kids guitars, not video games
I totally agree with you!!
Exactly right! :-)
Yep
Why not both
im sure they'll have more fun if u give them both
Badass little kid watch his insta and his TH-cam he’s great at playing and earned that sponsorship through and through
What a dude!!!... ♥
KID you ROCKed it
Where is Bonamasa to support this kid?
Really good
This kid is rockin!
Hell yea this kids going to be big already signing deals keep rockin

Sounds a lot like Fuel's "Innocent" from the "Something Like Human" album
Awesome Taj

this kid should be giving ME lessons. great job!
02:06 Fuel - Innocent
I had that exact guitar that I bought in the 70s at a pawn shop for $100 it was a find of a lifetime
