      I'm almost the same age. I started when I was 8, but I had small hands so I quit. I regret it, and I started learning one month ago. Gave it a second try, and I love it! I'm barely learning solos but if I learned 2 years ago I could've been way better

      Nahh, I've been playing 40+ years. I don't look at myself negatively because of Taj's great talent at a young age. I love the fact that he's way better than I was at his age. And, more importantly, he's doing his part to keep guitar alive and well in this day and age of auto-tune and garbage music being written by some guy in Sweden.

      Axess2084 ~Right on. I'm sure you understand I was just kidding. A mildly self-deprecating way of pointing out his awesomeness. Though I'm not actually a guitar player, I followed a similar path, starting private lessons on alto sax at 8 years old, being declared "a natural" and running through all the various school music ensembles. This culminated as 25+ years in the biz doing everything from theater pits and cruise ships to writing soundtracks and session work. Weary of the road and seeing a dwindling market, and a musical economy that resulted in the same $100-$150 per man per night, today, that was great money in 1975, and not so much now, I followed a second path in the early 90's and successfully transitioned into commercial advertising photography. Still a difficult hustle, but more conducive to raising the two daughters I had with wife number two. Both now raised, one just out of college, the other in her second year, I'll be 65 this summer. I certainly didn't get rich, will likely never fully "retire", though I can't really see why I would if I could - I'd probably quickly die of boredom. Howz that great Tom Petty line go? "I don't know, but I've been told / Ya never slow down, ya never grow old." I'm thankful my teacher-wife has retirement, so I am admittedly "subsidized". ;-)
      PS I couldn't agree more on the current sorry state of popular "music" - not that there isn't still great music being made. I do love today's production possibilities, though not so much when over-used. As far as the art of guitar goes, I'm definitely a closet connoisseur. Hugh fan of the thumb-picker school - Chet, Tommy Emmanuel, Jerry Reed, Richard Smith, etc.
      I found this delightful hour and half of a solo Richard Smith club gig the other day: ua-cam.com/video/xwSRYwFqe0Q/v-deo.html
      And if you're not familiar, you'd probably enjoy Rick Beato's channel: ua-cam.com/users/pegzch

This kid is putting so much of himself into the performance and for someone so young there is an insane level of feeling and depth there. He hasn't been playing for that long either but has obviously worked damn hard to learn techniques and music theory to be able to express himself effortlessly. I have seen kids play technically very well many times but there is way more going on here.

    I have been a Pink Floyd sycophant ever since I heard 'Arnold Lang' when I was 7 years old (the song had been out a few years already, BTW). David Gilmour has always represented one of the greatest guitarist ever. They were a big part of why I went into the music profession all these years ago. To see a 9 year old play that song... to see him put the emotion into it that it deserves. I wept a bit. Not just for a young talent and the joy he brings, but for the fact that now I think there may be a little bit of hope for the human race after all. Keep it up kid...

      While that is true, most guitarists can only play without looking to a point. Switching different modes up and down the neck without looking is difficult even for seasoned guitarists.

      @angelajanusheske8765 5 років тому +3

      @@captaincaveman8532 I have alot of friends and family who play guitar and i myself play as well, and I have to disagree. To feel music often times you find yourself with your eyes closed. And muscle memory doesn't require you to look at each note your playing. One of the first things you learn while play guitar is to look away from the neck, and alternate pick. Looking can even alot of times slow you down, because instead using the muscle memory of your brain you start trying to consciously play each note. It doesn't work as well. Watch videos of guitarists and you'll see even "seasoned" tend to close their eyes, especially with feeling the solo they play.
