The respect with which you interview the child is a sign of the great person you are Pete. A true gentleman
I know I’m a bit late to the party but I need to make a comment . Finally , someone who innately knows how to interview child artists; talk WITH the artist , not just TO the child .... heaven knows , we all might even learn something . I fully concur with Nico’s above praise . Great interview , Pete .
Sign ;)
Agree totally, Pete is very natural and treats Taj as an equal, nice to see.
@3:57
Pete: "What do you like about Angus Young?"
Kid: "What wouldn't you like?"
I'm sold! He's legit and already understands rock n roll. Legend status in the making. !
@Incognitive Distortion Correct!!
Rock n roll ain't noise pollution
@Incognitive Distortion it's a real shame you can't play
This guy at 9 yrs when he speaks he just sounds like an old soul. Great parenting right here. Well done kid, well done Pete and well done Taj's parents.
Stevie Ray incarnated....
This kid is amazing should try a little Sugaree by Jerry Garcia know he would be smiling ⚡⚡⚡🎸🎸🎸⚡⚡🎸🎸🎸🎸⚡⚡⚡🎸
@@ucdbnxt7318 kinda first thing I thought Tennessee whiskey
Yes, Raised correctly. Carry on Taj
His licks are great, full of feel and soul, his vibrato and bends are super good for his age. BUT what really blows my mind is the fact he uses his guitar pickup selection and volume like a veteran! Pete looked like he wanted to jam all day!
The Ellen Show recording (which was comment disabled for some reason) was great because he does a Sweet Child of Mine solo and I swear he intentionally reproduces Slash's timing mistakes. He's scary advanced!
Kid has tone in those fingers...really cool to showcase him...the future of rock is in good hands 😎
Are you kidding me?!!!
This kid is a prodigy if there ever was one AND wise/well spoken beyond his years
Little badass switched directly into Chuck Berry mode. Damn 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Pete, you're great with kids! To me, this is the most important thing to do, because they are our future.
Kids not a kid.
too true
I think Pete is just great with everyone he meets. Pete would be successful at most things in life simply because he`s a people person.

Taj is a little superstar! How can you not love this little guy. He's incredible and his parents did something right, eh? He has the knowledge and skill of an adult. Rock on bro. We love you! 💕💕
When a player as incredible as Pete listens and honours the gift in interviewing allowing Taj to be himself and equal in respect. Great work sir. 👍
Wow. This young kid can trade licks with Pete Thorn??? Amazing
John Core Pete isn’t the only one Page, Prince, Gilmour, Angus..... this kid is UNREAL!!
Ornithia (SP)
Again “10” years old!!! 🤦♂️
3 years playing???
WOW!!!... JUST WOW!!!
Stevie Ray Incarnated!!!!
William Roark it’s Orianthi
Well said! He is the real deal, a talent growing on the road to greatness with him and his family humble personalities. A Legend in the making!@@williamroark
That kid is good now. Imagine when he's 20! He's going to be phenomenal.
Either that or he'll have no interest whatsoever in guitar.
mel obrien here u are again. First calling Ellen Degenerous a degenerate. Bigot. And now negative thinking re this kid. He said he wants to play for life. Now what’s next sir?
He’s already 40
Doubt he could get much better than he is
Perfect timing and perfect pitch, nothing really needs to be improved
A musical genius old soul
He is already phenomenal mind blowing lolzzzz
mel obrien There’s some truth to that, though. This kid is able to express himself so well through music, who knows what he’ll do in the future. He might take up oil painting and be the next Michelangelo.
Such a down to earth young gentleman, 2.5 years playing? Thats incredible. Also works the volume and tone knobs like a pro.
His "what wouldn't you like?" response is one of the most impressive rock and roll statements I've ever heard.
I agree, and I'm in the states, we need a true rock star. He is going to be , already is in my opinion the best in the world. Heck the universe. Eat ur heart out slash.
been watchin this young gun for awhile...the feeling and natural emotion in his playing is inspirational ...been playing for 34 yrs and his playing floors me!!...His Vibrato and the way he plays in the pocket is key...lovin his natural ear as well..
He's such a terrific musician, if you ignore the fact he's so young, he plays with such an experienced ear and feel. Keep it going Taj! A pleasure listening to your chops!
Wish i could express how much Taj touched my 70 year old heart with his charm and big beautiful talent.
It takes a lot to blow my mind, i have been blessed to have heard some of the greats, but my mind is blown and i will forever be a Taj fan !!
Keep on rocking it...stay grounded and stay clean my cool young man.
You have blessed us with your hard work and wonderful talent.
🤘🎶🎸💖
One of those old souls...kid is amazing. Thanks for sharing Pete
You're a great guitarrist
Remember SRV flipped a coin with Eric Clapton for that fateful seat in the helicopter on it’s way to Rock n Roll history...
Dave
I smiled all the way long the video!
Plus, now I want a Mojave Fade!!!
I don’t know what it is about Australian guitarists but they are abundant and brilliant, you only have to go your local pub or small folk festival and be amazed, well done young man!
Fantastically fabulous! Ha, love it, "I got it about 26 minutes ago." Plus he's got such a great rock-n-roll name!
By far, the best interview to a musician I've ever seen, respect, good jokes nad good tones. Awesome Pete
Amazing. I loved how excited his playing made you feel. Just pure joy
2 and a half years .....amazing!! Imagine him in 2 more years...I hope Taj keeps it up... he has an incredible talent!
My goodness! I love this kid! He's got great tone and clearly a great ear. Those bends are fantastic! And so much personality!
Hah hah, love this! Rock is definitely safe with this kid around!🤘😍🤘 I can't even imagine what he's going to be like 5 or 10 years from now... Go Taj!😁👍👍
Great to see young people valuing the arts. Thanks for reminding the old folks Pete.
What a guy. He has a good ear. I was listening to Gary Moore when I was 14 and advanced vastly in a short space of time. I would have liked to have met him to thank him.
Great video.
I want to see him play with Slash, I Love this kid
Great kid but even greater interviewer. Pete, you're the cool older brother and uncle that every kid wish they had. You asked really good questions and had an excellent rapport with Taj. Rock on. 🤘
Pete Hands Down - One of the best interviews in TH-cam .
I love the fact he loves Angus, this kid knows where it's at.
I totally love TAJ and I'm 60 lol hes sooo darn cute and is AMAZING Keep it up baby boy your are the next biggest Jimmy Hendricks
Brilliant!!! So awesome to see the youngsters embracing the guitar. 9 year old kid playing Chuck Berry!!! I love it!!! I'm also fairly certain that this young man has perfect pitch, as well. Just listening to him play back the licks and how he has his vibrato already worked out. Amazing. Check out how he plays on his channel on "Tennessee Whiskey". It's jaw dropping.
Old Guy's Guitar Vlog yea you’re right he said it on Ellen. He can pick up a song after hearing it a few times.
Some great guitar gods have possessed this young boys soul. Rock on little dude.
Hell yes
Stevie Ray is Reborn
YES LIKE JIMMY HENDRIX
Or...alternatively....it's just Taj. Deal with it.
@@dodibenabba1378 thank you well said. How can you not love this little dude.
Never give up yall! Taj is so cool and so great already! Keel rockin on and rocking out Taj!!!🎸🎸🎸🎶🎶
I love the way this kid plays. He is a God given humble talent.
7:55 Gets the red Gibson - Instantly knows to drop into Chuck Berry mode
RIGHT!!!? I CAUGHT THAT TOO! There's a lot in this little dude that just can't be taught.
I totally caught that.. makes one wonder.. ;)
Thought the same..but was hoping for some Alvin..(Big Red)
It would have easy to miss, but an absolute delight to pick up on 👍
Lmao out played Pete lol
I like this kid. I hope he's got good health and luck in his life!
This kid is awesome!
Only been playing 2 1/2 years , wow!!
Absolutely gifted...unbelievable kid keep it up
we are seeing a true gtr legend in the making !!!!!
insane how he plays & what he knows...
but the most important thing is his feel !!!!!!
AMAZING !!!
Good stuff Taj and Well done Pete for getting him on the show
Dude could of not given a better interview. Perfectly done man!!!! Really cool thank you. Kid is the best one I’ve seen. He is on the way to the top
You are a great dude Pete, such a stand up guy. Very nice interview.
I’m 71 years old and still love the R&R. You are just fab. Keep at it.
Awesome. Feel beyond his years
Holy crap Taj, you had me screaming , "Good Lord this kid smokes!!!" the whole video. Congrats on the new axe too man!
He was literally born with a guitar in his hands. That's a difficult labor for mom for sure ;)
Mark this date on a calendar , you will hear from this young guy again someday for sure . He's got better tone in his hands at 9 than many players on tour etc etc . Great Video Pete !!!!!
I love watching this beautiful child play with so much emotion 💫
This kid is obviously gifted! He has a very good chance of being a star. I wish you the best Taj, you rock dude!
Not to discredit him but it isnt gift that does this but focus. He has focus at a young age when most kids would rather just play games.
He is so calm and reserved in the interview. He is a great musician and knows it. We need more young people like him.
I’m calling it: Touring with each other in less than a year & it’s just a 2 hr show of this smile inducing rock n roll banter. I’ll be there!
I,m 75 and I listen to this kid play since he was 9 yrs old he will become a true icon for sure.
What a lovely clip! Great to see the genuine enthusiasm from Pete who was very gracious towards young Taj. The ability of both goes without question.
This kid is uuuuuunbelievable. Great work Taj, great work Taj's parents and coaches.
Prodigious Fantastic Farrant impresses once again🏆
This is just so awesome!!
That boy have the future clear!👍🤘🤘
wow, I play 1/100th as good as him and only been at it 40+years.....The kid is awesome. Great video Pete.
The future of rock is alive!! Keep rockin' little man!!!
Pete, thanks to pay attention to others and being kind for the next generation. They need good mentor to keep rock&roll alive 🤘🏻
This young guy as a nice musical future though !
Cheers !
Taj is a fantastic guitar player, irrespective of his age. I loved this interview, Pete.You have a great rapport with Taj and never patronise him, children understand people who engage properly with them. Taj has a brilliant personality - he's a natural. I bet you two will become great pals.
Great stuff Pete. Go Taj, keep rippin' 🇦🇺
Great stuff bro, fellow Aussie here and in Aus this kid really is hittin it big!
Such a great interview you did here, Pete. You let him be the star of the show and talked to him as if he were a peer, not just another kid guitarist that the internet made famous. Very cool way to approach the video and it illustrates just how good of a person you are, as we are already all aware of how great of a player you are. Rock on, dudes 🤘
Keep coming back to this interview and other interviews with Taj. Especially really good interviews like this one with Pete Thorn. Taj is the real deal, a talent growing on the road to greatness with him and his family humble personalities. A Legend in the making!
Best vid I've seen on the tube in a good while! Totally awesome, thanks!
wow, that kid its awesome!
i start playing guitar when i was 9 too and took me 2 years to make a bar chord.
Nice see so much intensity in his playing ability! Pete I know you were having a great time here! He will be great especially if he has pros like you Pete around! Cheers to you both!!
Man, I have a student that is exactly like him. He is picking things up so quickly that I have trouble teaching him new things every week. So most of the time, we just jam for half an hour. I love it when kids are so into their instruments.
I just saw an interview with Taj and his dad. He started when he was 7. And now this kid blows everyone’s mind. He’s so amazing this kid. He’s gonna go far. He drips with talent and he’s a nice kid too. He doesn’t play music he IS music.
Awesome share Pete thorn
This kid is unbelievable for just playing for 2 1/2 years. You’re looking at a legend in the making.
Nice young man . To play with such feel that young age just knocked me out !
This young gentleman ROCKS :) Thanks for the interview :)
You're an amazing person and an even amazing inspiration, Pete! Big fan here, love from India :)
I love it - he such a cool little guitar player and for only playing for just over 2 years is amazing! Keep rockin!
Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable. This kid is amazing! It made me so happy to see someone so young just completely owning the instrument. Thanks for sharing this with us, Pete!
He’s been playing 2.5 years? I quit.
I do to and thankfully before I even started haha. The kid is AMAZING.
I was about to write the same 🤣
The kid has professional training and practices all the time.
LOL
The world needs more Taj Farrants to teach us a bit more humility, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't keep trying.
But, I get where you're coming from.
That was awesome! I found myself laughing the whole video; almost as much as you were Pete! 😂😂😂
Taj , great playing buddy keep it up!!!!! Thanks for sharing Pete. Brought a smile to my face. Keep moving it forward to future generations.
Holy cow.
The kids is a mutant. As in Mozart type of mutant. Natural off-the-charts talent like that only comes around every couple hundred of years or so. Amazing.
Thanks for getting him on your channel Pete!
Fantastic !! I was smiling and laughing all the way through! Loved it Gonna follow this guy he's gonna be a force.
What an absolute talent at such a young age. Well done Pete, great interview, you really adapted to such a young kid. Awesome 👏🏻
Always great to see a kid excel at playing an instrument...
This kid is a living example of if you wanna learn to play great lead guitar listen to Gary Moore!!
That is so true my friend, Gary is (was) so talented!
Oh, what a little rockstar...Taj is sooo excellent...thanks for sharing, Pete!!! 💗💗💗
"Took a long time, like 2 months." LOL
Petey getting a free clinic. Hilarious, rock on brothers.
How can anyone dislike this vid? 7 people hate to practice.
The only things I have in common with Taj is being Aussie now and I too was 9 after I was 8. 👍🎸👌
But you might have a future in stand up! :)
!
9:20 “Man you’re really good!”🎸🎸
It must be great to have your future all mapped out at 10 years old... Great, stellar talent...and he seems like such a genuinely good Kid.. I hope he stays humble and real...I already know he will be a Huge force to contend with
He's adorable!
Just hope the rockers he meets protect his innocence and don't expose him to drugs, drinking and immorality.
You meant immortality right?
lol, you should see his dad
Oh me too, I know mom and dad will. At some point they won't be able to. So let's all just swear right now that if anyone ever does do that we all will gather (millions at a time) and Rochambeau them. I am a 60 yr old grandmother and can't stop watching him . I wondered if he liked slash . I do . But now my favorite forever will be Taj farrant. He is just so damn cool, old school cool too. And cool about everything. His replies, his choice of wardrobe, and what to play , when and how to play it. He's polite,respectful speaking to others. Not cocky like so many young musicians are these days. And he still remains humble. And he still remains a kid, when he's not being a pro. Did you catch his performance on America's Got talent? If not watch it my favorite part is when he walks down to the judges. Man, I got it meet this kid before I drop dead. I've never wanted to meet anyone. Lol
I think I'm getting a bit worried about this kid. Hope his parents keep him grounded.
Boyeeee Awesome...stay kind Sir Taj. 🤗
Rocks future is safe . Taj will take the next generation with him.
From Ellen to Pete...amazing story in its self.
From Ellen Degenerate to a decent human being.
mel obrien really, bigotry still going strong in your home. Pathetic. She’s doing just s bit better than you I’d say and why do u care what she does in her private life? She’s not affecting you. Go back in your basement. Everytime someone brings someone else’s business up it makes me think you’re hiding something. Because it doesn’t bother anybody else with self esteem.
Can't wait to hear what this young man brings to the guitar community! Thanks!
You did such a good job of interviewing him! It was a pleasure to see that much fun. The talent of both him and you is epic, but your enjoyment and fun between the two of you transcended anything about ages or generation and got down to a personal level. Nice job.
