@AB-C1 hope you’re doing well! I posted a video yesterday with some of the best advice from pro guitar players that I recorded at the NAMM Show. I’d love to hear what you think.
@PaulRhodes420 also I have a bunch more guitar videos from the NAMM Show on my channel and I will be posting a ton more in the coming days and weeks - concerts, interviews with famous musicians, and tons of cool guitars!
@@johnsguitarlounge There's another amazing little guy, he has long blond hair and all I can remember is his name is Bailey. He's on RUclips. If I can remember more, I'll let you know.
Thank you. Taj dominates every stage he steps his bare feet on. Sold out shows ,2 #1 blues hits, a new single dropping this month all point to a spectacular future. World class. We have another one to be grateful for. Jimi>Eddie>Taj
@claremanor-nq9jx I totally agree! He is the real deal and a wonderful person. It really was an honor to spend time with him and his awesome family last weekend.
How generous and kind to give that slider to Taj Farrant ❤❤❤guaranteed he will shred very well with it !! And who knows what else ...this young man is very humble 🙏 and GO SEE TAJ IN PERSON !! AMEN ✝️ WHAT A GOD GIVEN TALENT HE HAS!! BTW....I HAVE SEEN TAJ FARRANT FOR MYSELF AND HE JUST BLEW ME AWAY FROM ( FLORIDA USA 🇺🇸 AMEN ✝️) ...GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, BAND MATES, EVERYONE INVOLVED 🙏 ❤️ ♥️ 💖
@tangofoxy5781 what a wonderful comment and very kind sentiments! Taj is definitely very humble and his family is exactly the same way. I spent some time with his dad that week when I did the interview and his heart is definitely in the right place. I was happy to give Taj that slide - I’m sure he will be able to play MUCH better with it than I can! :-) I interviewed a bunch of other guitarists that same weekend and I have been posting them on my channel - I’d love to hear what you think, and any tips or ideas you have for future videos too.
Nice interview. He's a terrific kid! He's humble and such a great player. I'm looking forward to the release of his new song, Bad Trip. From what I've heard so far, it sounds amazing!
@valogden he really is a terrific person! I’m looking forward to the new song too. You should check out Purple Rain on my channel, and I’ll be posting more of his set from the NAMM Show soon too.
Taj at 14 is already light years ahead of so many other guitarists in that he’s already discovered how to just play what he feels . He stated exactly what Stevie Ray Vaughan once was quoted ,” I don’t think when I play , thinking about where I’m going just gets in the way , I just let whatever I’m feeling come out through my hands at that moment”. We recently saw him Play live here in Ramona California, and he stated before playing that he had been sick only a day or two in advance and apologized if he was off a bit on his playing . If that show was a bad show for him , all I can say is Watch out world . Simply amazing show . The sky is the limit young man, enjoy your life , and THANKS for just being you . And also Thanks to your Family , your Dad & Mom & sister Jazel were all great to meet & see & talk with . 😎👍
@stephenmiller5023 that’s so cool! I’m glad you got to meet him and his awesome family. They’re wonderful people. I totally agree with you that Taj is way ahead of the pack. Not only does he have amazing skills, he plays with such soul and passion. And he’s such a wonderful young man. I’m looking forward to seeing him play again!
@stephenmiller5023 also if you’re interested, I have a bunch more guitar videos from the NAMM Show on my channel and I will be posting a ton more in the coming days and weeks - concerts, interviews with famous musicians, and tons of cool guitars!
@@johnsguitarlounge Yes, definitely looking forward to seeing whatever you post 😎👍. And Taj is a very grounded & humble young man . I’ve been following him on social media’s now for almost 6 years , and have been just amazed at his rise in stardom. As AC/DC once sang ,”It’s a long way to the top if you wanna Rock ‘n roll”. He’s doing it HIS WAY , and according to his Dad Brandon at least ,wants full control of his destiny. I’m Damn proud of him , steering clear of major Labels and such that only want what’s best for them ( mostly ) and not what’s best for their artists it seems . He’s already on his way to conquer all obstacles, and I see him only getting more recognition in future . 🤞🙂
@stephenmiller5023 you said it! Labels will ruin him. Who’s the most successful blues artist today? Joe Bonamassa. Why? Not only his amazing talent, but because he has his own label, releases his own music, owns his own songs, and stays authentic.
Great interview with a rising star. The hours and hours of intense practice and preparation really shine. He and his family are first class people along with the musicality of first tier.
I'm Taj's biggest fan😁 I was a child prodigy vocalist, and Nobody can tell me that he is Not a child prodigy 🎸ist. SO glad I discovered him 4-5 years ago, but Listened to him starting at age age 7. I binge-watched at the beginning
@suzettebavier4412 it’s hard not to binge-watch him, isn’t it? He’s amazing, and such a nice young man. I’d love to hear your singing - do you have any recordings?
@jmpsworld83 thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it. I’ve posted a bunch more from the NAMM Show over the last couple weeks - I’d appreciate any feedback!
@nancyruszkiewicz7484 thank you! I’m really glad you enjoyed it. Taj is awesome! Check out the video I took of him playing Purple Rain on my channel. I’ll be posting more if him soon.

Stevie Ray Vaughn is amazing. When Eric Clapton was asked how does it feel to be the best guitarist in the world he said ask Prince. DAVID GILMOUR is one my favorites . Jimmy Page, Prince was a musical genius . Eric Clapton.
@trenawawrzynial4397 I agree with everything you said! Stevie was one of my absolute favorites, but the others have also been visionaries and have advanced music in so many ways.
@trenawawrzyniak4397 also, I have a bunch more videos from the NAMM Show on my channel and I will be posting a ton more in the coming days and weeks - concerts, interviews with famous musicians, and tons of cool guitars!
@@johnsguitarlounge I can't play anymore at 57 my Rheumatoid arthritis is just too bad. I started playing at 5 because my much older brother was taking lessons. So I had the attitude anything you can do I will do 100% better. My brother stopped playing because I surpassed him by the age of 10. He was 19. I used to sit in with a band by the name of The Badlees . I was friends with the band.Playing for me was a just because I want to play type of thing. Being a ER nurse was what truly made me happy. Playing the guitar was just fun. Shooting pool, jumping out of airplanes and learning to fly gliders and getting a pilot's license was fun too.
@oliverpaulus6678 I have a bunch more guitar videos from the NAMM Show on my channel and I will be posting a ton more in the coming days and weeks - concerts, interviews with famous musicians, and tons of cool guitars!
Apparently Taj's voice is pitch perfect. He is completely blessed and I'm sure he's channelling some of the worlds greatest guitarists that are now in heaven.
@MicheleZbudowski-yk2xl I’m going to be doing a live podcast with Taj’s mom and dad live this coming Sunday at 3pm Eastern on my RUclips channel - the link is on my “Live” part of my channel. Let me know what questions you want me to ask!

Yes he definitely is! It’s so nice to hear some authentic music.
Is he channeling the greats from beyond when he plays?
@rondasnyder4151 yes I would definitely say he is! And I think he’s making the music his own, too. How do you feel?
@@johnsguitarlounge well if I were returning I’d want to build something new this time😂
I don’t think Taj is a copycat of anybody. I think he channels his heroes and does them honor while adding his own flavor.
13:00 🤣😂😝

How could he sing so well with that pubertal breaking voice? 😂. That s amazing.
