I remember seeing this very young boy tearing up blues scales and now to see him all grown up with the patience to let the notes ring out is just amazing.
Just saw him last night in Minneapolis. The same thing happened with the broken string. He must be bending them like no tomorrow. And by the way he was FANTASTIC !!!!!
@@darklight1837 Yep agree. Intentionally snapped it 😁..... but what a player! The thing is, he can also play any style, any genre above and beyond blues/rock. Insane talent.
Taj if Gary Moore could hear you play this as well as you do he would be amazed!!!! You are a prodigy and if not already within the next few years you will be one of the best if not the best guitar soloist in the world!!! Hats off to you for your hard work!!!!
Don't over do it! I'm also a big Gary Moore fan, and Taj is already way better than Bonamassa, but... have you seen Max Ostro? He's from an other world....
i used to follow max ostro when he was younger but i didn't like a lot of the overcomplicated overtechnical sort of stuff he tended to play... very little blues... not very melodic... also seemed a bit weird in his appearance and behaviour... another kid i used to follow was the 2018 young guitarist of the year hunter hallberg from the usa... musically he was pretty much the same... yet another kid with similar musical leanings was dustin thomson from germany... he plays discordant heavy technical stuff that he inherited from his father's style of playing...at least taj farrant plays some nice melodic flowing bluesy stuff and if only he was to incorporate some more psychedelic proggy -type stuff into his repertoire i could really start to get into him as a musical artist.
A very difficult piece to get exactly right in terms of feel and timing, Gary Moore was a unique player, but this fella manages a credible tribute to the master.
I remember watching him very young. His music is in his soul. His expressions were so amazing just like his playing. You can tell he literally loves music..

Got to see Taj & Buddy Guy recently at Harrah's Cherokee. One of Buddy's son's was there and he got up and played a couple with Taj & Buddy towards the end of a very kickass show. Taj at 15 is amazing.
When Taj was talking about it being a favorite song of e3veryone's, it seemed natural to yell out "Ours Too." My first concert and it was a keeper fer sure. Didn't have a good a seat as you Brian. Thanks for the Vid. Taj & the Guys "killed it." Oh, don't forget the "Attaboy Nathan" right at the beginning. I've been listening to Nathan Bryce/Dice in Springfield, MO since 2020.
Stevie Ray nor Hendrix have nothing on you young man. Servants come around very seldom. Bless your talent and riff on PLEASE ✌️. Watched you from the beginning. Ignore the money. You've abilities on the fiddle that very few...I mean very few have. Please rock on so that true guitar connoisseurs can enjoy your efforts. IE you've got what very few have. Honesty virtue and youth. Rock us all into the 20 seconth century... Please
(Edit-Taj is now fourteen) Remember folks Taj is now thirteen! Amazing talent. He needs to get with another Phenom by the name of Saxon Weiss. Saxon is eleven. Great job Taj! 🎶
Also if ya dig and enjoyed this song 😀 you may also enjoy the song " Most of All " By Glenn Kaiser and Where Roses Grow Live by Rez Band Awesome songs check them out. Also I remember hearing the song by Led Zepp " In My Time of Dyin " during my drug years and made me think about death and Jesus. Then a hippy friend that dug Jesus told me more of Jesus love and forgiveness and how I could also know Jesus love. So in 1981 I cried out to Jesus and wow man He came into my life and I had and have so much joy and peace and now know that through Jesus when I die I will be with Him in Heaven. Hey Jesus loves each of you also and yall can know Him if you are at all open. Just cry out to Him and a good question to ask yourself if you were to die today would you go to heaven ? And if yes why ? To find out more please read the Gospel of John in the Bible or check out the movie on TH-cam. 😀
@@jonda2282 Ok. Are they any good? Are they on the radio? Maybe he needs songwriters to help him like other artist do. He has had more people help him than most upcoming artists. He comes from a wealthy family. Thinking by trying to shred all of the time is what makes songs great is not the key to a hit. Yes, he can play fast but he is still sloppy. Steve Vai plays very clean and is not sloppy. Ego can really affect careers. There are many past artists that have said that. I know his fans will disagree with my statements and that is fine. He had a very bad ego when Derrick The Shred Master interviewed him.
That poor Gibson...It looks like Taj tore the string on purpose. I'm sure the guitar doesn't mind taking this abuse as long as he's the one playing it.
@@keitheash7415 Yeah, you guessed it lmao.. This music is dead. Its undeniable. The only ones making any money from it are the 1%, and he aint in it. I guarantee id bury you. So i guess that makes you jealous of both of us, by your logic.🤣
Yeah, that's why Joe Bonamassa invited him on next year's Blues Cruise. That's why Buddy Guy selected Taj to open for him on his farewell tour. That's why he's had 5, or is it 6, number 1 singles. Yeah, going nowhere. Plonker.

Such a feel for blues and a grasp of melody. Behind the natural talent there is real empathy and so much dedication; all power and success to you Taj.
I remember seeing this very young boy tearing up blues scales and now to see him all grown up with the patience to let the notes ring out is just amazing.
Speechless! Watching him grow has been special, as is his skill and abilities.
Just saw him last night in Minneapolis. The same thing happened with the broken string. He must be bending them like no tomorrow. And by the way he was FANTASTIC !!!!!
he broke it deliberately at least in this song , i can see it clear. Great performance whatsoever.
@@darklight1837 Yep agree. Intentionally snapped it 😁..... but what a player! The thing is, he can also play any style, any genre above and beyond blues/rock. Insane talent.
That’s the best version of this tune I’ve ever heard so far🎼🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Apart from the original-
Been watching him since he was 9 and to watch this is beyond imagination for a15 yr old!! He's in outer space . He is greatness!❤🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶
Same! He is growing his gift!
YES! Me as well. Taj is one awesome player. He feels the music !! Much talent! I call him "The Shoeless Wonder." 😂
Taj if Gary Moore could hear you play this as well as you do he would be amazed!!!! You are a prodigy and if not already within the next few years you will be one of the best if not the best guitar soloist in the world!!! Hats off to you for your hard work!!!!
Don't over do it! I'm also a big Gary Moore fan, and Taj is already way better than Bonamassa, but... have you seen Max Ostro? He's from an other world....
i used to
follow max ostro
when he was
younger but i didn't
like a lot of the
overcomplicated
overtechnical
sort of stuff
he tended to play...
very little blues...
not very melodic...
also seemed
a bit weird in his
appearance
and behaviour...
another kid
i used to follow
was the 2018
young guitarist
of the year
hunter hallberg
from the usa...
musically he was
pretty much
the same...
yet another kid
with similar
musical leanings
was
dustin thomson
from germany...
he plays
discordant
heavy technical
stuff that he
inherited from
his father's style
of playing...at
least taj farrant
plays some
nice melodic
flowing bluesy
stuff and if only he
was to incorporate
some more
psychedelic proggy
-type stuff into
his repertoire
i could really start
to get into him
as a musical artist.
@@eodnhoj8387 ....and the thing is, he can play anything. He just choosing to play blues/rock at the moment.
A very difficult piece to get exactly right in terms of feel and timing, Gary Moore was a unique player, but this fella manages a credible tribute to the master.
For some reason, it's a half step below Gary's version, and I much prefer the way he would end the song live to this but otherwise I agree.
@@progmeup He's 15. Give him time 😄
Wow I haven’t seen him in a couple years but wow great Moore tribute w the shredding. Scary really…
I remember watching him very young. His music is in his soul. His expressions were so amazing just like his playing. You can tell he literally loves music..
Taj your amazing I love how you make that talk and I love your hair, your style. Keep killing it.
its crazy to see this kid grow up playing guitar. wish him many more years of making good music.

Little doubt at the beginning, but boy: you can play!
And you didn't let the broken snare bother you. 😉
Most incredible performance I have ever witnessed.
My God ! Taj you so powerful you done tore up your guitar strings...you are out of this World....LOL !❤💥💥💥💥💥💥❤

Yeah, NBLD are a killer band in their own right. just perfect as band mates for Taj. Rock solid.
amazing what you can do with a real melody!
Some nice amps on that stage!
Everything is timed to perfection 😂
Stevie Ray nor Hendrix have nothing on you young man. Servants come around very seldom. Bless your talent and riff on PLEASE ✌️.
Watched you from the beginning. Ignore the money. You've abilities on the fiddle that very few...I mean very few have. Please rock on so that true guitar connoisseurs can enjoy your efforts.

I'm the 'Liz' that screams out Mine too!!
Going to see him Friday! My wife loves his rendition of purple rain.
That was so Sweet Taj !
ELE É MAIS UM DOS MEUS HEROIS❤❤❤
He is UNREAL!!!What a guitar player!!!!RESPECT!!!
Great job, Taj !❤
To say the kid plays with feeling is an understatement lol... get down with your bad self!
Excellent Taj
Taj your the best from Rodney Rivers mittagong nsw Australia
what an incredible talent Taj is... Gary Moore would be very proud of you - keep it up!!!
I'd like to hear this in tandem with a really talented lap steel player. Great stuff.
Still playing with a broken string. This kid is the up and coming.
Ya, he broke it on purpose for whatever reason.
@@j.t.cooper2963 Most likely because the rest of his own version of the song was easier to perform without the string. It was unique.
@@beehappy7797 Maybe he didn't need it.
@@j.t.cooper2963 Yep. Not sure why exactly. Must have had his reasons.
My new favourite Taj performance ❤🎉
Are those P90 pickups .Either way you sound fantastic.It's been so fun watching you grow up .👍
Yep P90's.
And losing a string didn't even matter to his performance ❤🎉
Beautiful 👍🤗💙🎶🎶
Sheer brilliance
Please come play in dc or md ...silver spring at the Filmore
Speechless.
Nothing wrong with cover songs.
Who needs 6 strings? Since I heard him the first time I thought there is certainly some Moore in him
Sick
sounds like Samba Party by Santana
Well, when Carlos Santana is your mentor.....
You mean Samba Pa Ti
🥰😇💥❤
i got to meet him
Whats with the intentional E string break? 😑
To make the technique work in the best way in the rest of the melody. Unique playing technique.
@@beehappy7797 Could be. Must have his reasons. He snapped it as if it was in his way 😄
OMG ! 😅😂🎉
Stevie Ray reborn

I hope he paid for all of those notes...
🥱🤭😳Is he done yet?😴😖
yeah man times infinite or more lol
He needs to perform his own songs!
aahh....he does. 3 - 5 a show now
@@jonda2282 Ok. Are they any good? Are they on the radio?

Sounds too much like "Town Without Pity" Ronnie Montrose does a nice version. Gene Pitney used to sing it.
He broke a string and kept rocking. LOL
He broke it on purpose.
@@TweetyPAK7 I am certain he did exactly that. You know how kids are.
Taj, if you’re listening, please stay away from alcohol…it killed Gary Moore, and sadly many others.
That poor Gibson...It looks like Taj tore the string on purpose. I'm sure the guitar doesn't mind taking this abuse as long as he's the one playing it.
Sorry but he was a much better player when he was younger.
Wrong. You're not even close, pal
Its a shame he has lost his star light............. seems like he has become just a another guitarist
The soul shines brighter than stars.
What does that even mean??? star light 🤷♂
yawn..
This sucks, hell never go anywhere
I hate negativity. Just jealous you can't play like him. It's God given talent and hard work.
@@keitheash7415 Yeah, you guessed it lmao.. This music is dead. Its undeniable. The only ones making any money from it are the 1%, and he aint in it. I guarantee id bury you. So i guess that makes you jealous of both of us, by your logic.🤣

Why.... you shut up
Great start...please change your hair.
yes, he'll do it just for you.
