I am a 65 yr old black woman in America I know your parents are extremely proud of you there's a wonderful future ahead for you I love to hear you play sounds Jimi has come back you are fantastic Taj don't ever stop keep the music come much love
@Dragon Phoenix69 He didn't wake up one morning and suddenly knew how to play guitar - he has learnt to play and kids learn faster than grown ups do. Jeez.
For him to be so young is impressive. For him to dominate the guitar is phenomenal. But for this little dude to honestly FEEL the music is simply breath taking...
Taj seems to have the stable home to help him mature emotionally into a star musician. You can't force that kind of talent but you can nurture what is there. Kudos to Taj's family for supporting his passion. God bless them all, keep them safe, and protect his talent.
This child has restored my faithfulness to his generation!! Long live Classic Rock!!! Ahh this is so refreshing to watch his emotions as he shreds his beautiful guitar!! Long live Taj' !!! Sending love from Saint Petersburg Florida US!! Much respect for you and your family!! Stay real Taj! Fan forever!!! Peace to you all ! I'm a 62 year old woman who just sits back and smiles whenever you play!! 👍😎🌴❤🎸🎶🎸 ❤🌴😎👍
He’s not just covering the song, he’s feeling it and living it...absolutely incredible talent. I wish David Gilmore could see this video. I think he would be blown away. Way to go young man!
This is what happens when pure natural talent meets desire, practice and dedication. His continued improvement is mind boggling. How much better can he get? I can't wait to find out. Keep on rocking Taj
Im a huge floyd fan and ive heard lots of comfortably numb covers by many but taj has a true understanding of what emotions this piece envokes which is rare and he made it his own and its one of my favourite covers i would love gilmore to hear this because i know he would be gratified well done taj keep it up buddy😁
He plays GREAT, he's just a lil hard 2 watch, takes the theatrics just a tad 2 far 4 my taste. Granted these riffs R HARD 2 play but the faces he makes while playing is like watching a bad horror movie
Yeah..........I can say nothing else than this clip was fkn unbelievable..... this is a kid that was BORN to play guitar.....let's be real.....no one can match David Gilmour note for note or rift for rift on this tune. This kid, being born to play, shows you exactly why, if you are FKN GOOD, you do not have to play this tune note for note........ I was a kid when this music came out ....Ive heard it a billion times, and by many cover artists...... this kids cover could be overdubs of the real thing, and NO ONE would ever be able to detect the difference. The reason why ? He does not just play it, at 12 yrs old, he feels it. He is not trying to copy an artist, he IS an artist and is simply playing it as he FEELS it........and it is as good as the original, even not being the same exactly. My point......he is THIS good at 12........just wait until he is 22....... holy yit ! At 60yrs old, I may start going to concerts again if he travels near.
For someone his age, he's the best I've heard. Tbh he's already beyond a professional musician, it's mind boggling how good this kid is. But for the absolute best Comfortably Numb cover, its the link below. It's 10 minutes long and he really channeled David Gilmour in it. It's just mad good. ua-cam.com/video/NF_KGJflC34/v-deo.html
You are a rare gem in the world we currently live in. You took one of the most emotional guitar solos ever written and you furthered its effects. You're on your way.
Dude, the feeling this kid has on his guitar is amazing, he has what he needs to become a legend. hope he grows healthy and keeps that amazing feeling and talent of his
This kid is playing the guitar so emotionally that the guitar becomes part of his soul. The greatest guitar legends took them 20 to 30 years to get where This kid is now maybe not even to his level. I am your biggest fan and I will be following your work years to come. What you have accomplished at your age I can’t wait to see when you are at in your 20’s. Man I am your biggest fans. Keep Rocking my body,
David Gilmore plays a strat, so does Taj,adding his own riffs, he’s my hero, I’m 74 he’s 10 . Fan friggin tastic .This kid has all the accoutrements become the best you can little star.
Man I tell you what... this young man have the electricity all through himself. From fingers to his toes, he has definitely got it going on.. and already a ******STAR***** I could set and listen to him play all day and night...
literally the greatest guitar player ever. i have been binge watching and re watching taj for the last two days straight. unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable! kid is the goat
Oh yes your so right about this young man he will be the best guitarist in the world i know because all my brothers are guitarist ..him hes git tge feel for it jusr the look is as 😮
James Joiner Angus Young started him on this path. He watched him play in concert and said “ that’s what I want to do for the rest of my life!” Thankfully his parents are very supportive. His sister Jezel is a drummer.
Taj mate..there is something about the way you interpret a song then express it in your own way....many others just mimic and are clinical...you are on another planet! 👍
Taj would find modern music really boring.....this kid has many followers of real Music....and we are old....and we have seen all the greats.....Taj brings me to tears with what he does....the real stuff. Thanx little mate....keep doing it.....Not just for us Oldies.....but for the Music....thank you my friend.
The best 12 year old guitarist in the world. Quite a phenom, and well on his way, but the list above him is long and distinguished. That being said, he is amazing.
This is one of my most favoured guitar solos ever especially done by the originator David Gilmore. Taj has taken this and applied his own spin, he brings a tear to my eye. How exceptional this is, to all those that give this a thumbs down how inferior an intellect you have. To those people , you have listened to pure magnificence.
OMG you are the greatest guitarist in the world, I’m an old rocker 67 yo and I’m blown away by you kid 😮❤❤ you have such an awesome spirit….may the Universe bless all your day..
Sweet Mother Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus, and 12 Nearby Oxen being shredded into Heavenly Hamburger -- I have never heard that classic solo being played more skillfully. UN.BE.LIEVE.ABLE! Taj, Taj, Taj, you are the Taj Mahal of the guitar. Seriously Dude, I got emotionally involved with that. Amazing.
I just love this kid. He makes it look so easy. Anyone who has ever tried to play the guitar can appreciate this kid's talent. But aside from the skill it takes his memory from learning all these songs is really impressive. It takes most players a long time to learn complex solos like this from constant practicing. This young man can cover any of the greats. He's not reading music he is just going with the flow. These are complex finger arrangements and he performs them effortlessly. He's a prodigy. I watched him go toe to toe with Carlos and it was amazing how this relatively newcomer kept up with Carlos strum for strum.
I missed the live but watching now with tears in my eyes. Taj...you are reaching into my soul young man. I can't say it enough....you are absolutely amazing!! We 💙 You
WOW Taj!! You never cease to amaze!! The control and finesse you have is that of an old kindred soul. As I've mentioned in past comments, stay the course and on the straight and narrow - our world is SO much better with you in it!! Big fan from CLE!
Imagine - a ten year old that slays any other guitarist that has ever existed or ever will exist !!!! This Is The Best, folks !!!! IT DOES NOT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS !!!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥
@@isauwy Wow. They played like Taj - and as Taj - when they were 7 years old? 8 years old? 9 years old? 10 years old? 11 years old? I bet most of them had not even picked up a guitar yet !! And even at his now age of 12 years old he can do just as good or better than any of them !! Also, you obviously are just focused on the guitar playing, like I expected to be the case. For example, even David Gilmour, when playing his epic Comfortably Numb second solo, just stands there like an ironing board. Taj has such a great fan base and so passionate about him because HE IS so passionate AND is ONE WITH the music / guitar. These are things that are innate and cannot be faked or taught, and both of these things are not true regarding even at least half of the guitarists you named or could name. A person either has these, or they don't. Taj ALREADY IS the best overall package, and his guitar-playing is outstanding. Check out his Surfing With The Alien, and, Tennessee Whiskey !! His Comfortably Numb is fab, too !!
This kid is already a multimillionaire, he’s just taking his time collecting it. A future legend of the music business if all goes well. Would love to see David Gilmore get together with him on stage.
I've been following you for a while now, and watched you grow. As a guitarist for many years myself, I am amazed at how you interpret everything you play, with such finesse. You are truly a remarkable human being with all the God given talent you have. This was one of my favorite songs that you have taken to another level. You definitely have a great future ahead of you!! YOU ROCK! KEEP IT UP!
Wouldn’t have thought so kids now days are more interested in lyrics like “ wave your hands in the air in the club with my Bentley and Rolex bitch” sad but true! 😂
I grow up to that music and have listened to this song for years and Never heard it sounding soo good My God I really enjoy listening to more now then ever before Taj u are my Guitar God !
Sherry's husband Rangoon here. I've seen AussieFloyd, Clapton 15 times, Gary Clark at 19 yrs old in Austin and later and others but this kid woke me up on this piece. I like minimal Playing and this isn't that, BUTT HIS "fills" add to the song. I liked the change. I saw someone Hope's this kid can mature and stay out of trouble. amen. Keep growing Taj.
Sweet Jesus, that was mind blowing! UA-cam is full of Comfortably Numb covers, lots of them technically good but lacking feel and emotion. This just knocks it out of the park. 😢😢😢🤟🤟
Taj, some advice. Wear shoes when playing electric guitar. Preferably rubber soles. Keith Relf lead singer of the Yardbirds was electrocuted when he was playing guitar at home barefooted and was killed.
I strongly disagree. This boy may be technically very good and shows us how great and fast he can play guitar, but the feeling is missing. Forgive him because he is young.
What a flat out pleasure to see such a young talent embrace such engaging songs in a current culture of 3 cord ditties, no leads, and a attention span of just 4 min max for a song, a true virtuoso! Keep wailing out the classics young man! On your way to Derek Trucks stature!!!
Taj, everytime I see you & I listen EVERYTHING you play, my mouth drops. You are going to me THE BEST gutiar play in the world! (Stephen Chambers 39 y.o. from Missouri USA )
I get goosebumps when I listen to you play...just so amazing for a person of your age to play like that. You were born with this gift, this natural talent.
This young man is a child prodigy!! You have so much incredible old spirit in your soul. You will go beyond the highest star in your journey. Never stop!!! Its your calling.
Epic music is passed down through the generations so it’s never forgotten!! Taj dude, you have just made sure epic music will live on for another generation!!! 🤘🏽
This child is all that & more! We are witnessing “Impeccable Greatness”! I don’t know how his parents handle the pride in knowing their coming together created such a glorious gifted son❤️I am so ever grateful I found this captivating young man❤️Mom& Dad hold him close!!🥰God Bless you all🥰
I am absolutely stunned. There has NEVER been a cover of this lick done this well, EVER. Maestro! Virtuoso! Sensei! HUGE respect Taj. I'm a die-hard Floyd fan and up until now, I've picked up the ''overplaying" of this piece. Not today, this is perfection.
I can see the greatest legends sitting around shootin the breeze ... I can hear em say.. took me 25 plus yrs to get that played perfectly... Taj says.. I been playing for 3 yrs and learned your song last week lol...
Wow! Wow! Wow. Over the years I have listened to a lot of up and coming young guitarist. I have heard them tackle the great performances of those whom they are copying. In the words of a very good guitarist friend of mine "The road is always easy if it has been built for you." Instead of a note for note copy, which is what I expected, I had the pleasure of hearing this. An incredible take on one of the most icionic rock performances of all time. The passion, emotion and originality of this sets you firmly apart form the rest of the best young man. Keep it coming. Keep sharing your soul with us. Carlos Santana must have been in awe to have met you. You have his gift.
Still jamming to you TAJ!! I love everything you give , to US❤️❤️❤️ from your young heart and soul🙏😎❤️ thank you again😁👌🤩 and I have your play list on my speed dial💥🥰 i truly look to see if you have a new song, everyday!! Gives me something GOOD to look forward to, in these crazy times🙏 here in my country..... I truly hope you know, how much of an impact.. YOU ... have made on many lives🤘💥🙏 and will continue to do, with your “ HARD EARNED GIFT”🥰🤩👌 THANK YOU , and your FAMILY AGAIN🎸🎸🙏🤘💥🤩❤️
Absolutely outstanding young man. I quit music 25 years ago. You are the reason that make me think, i should give it another try. It's absolutely amazing to watching you, playing your Guitar. Thanks for sharing.......... Hope you and your family stay save. Greetings from Germany
David Gilmore is one if the kind. A rare kind. What I like about this version is Taj's impecable timing, rhytm, vibrato, sustain, soulfullness. Speaking of it, only one name comes into my mind and that's Gary Moore. Keep it up, Taj, keep it rocking! God bless you!
Ive been playing my version of this for about 10 years now...thought i had it nailed...till now !!!...bloody kids !!😂😂...superb Taj. I expected nothing less to be honest .😁😁👍
Absolutely phenomenal! A Prodigy for sure. And perhaps a Star seed with the message of love and unity for humanity in these tumultuous times. May he be guided and protected for us all!
At such an age this young man manages to play with such emotional communication. He has technique and I think he has perfect pitch but much more than that, he has a deep musicality that is a treasure. The world waits to see what he will bring to music as he matures.
A child standing in the shoes of a giant....and being able to wear them. Thank the gods there are generations carrying on music.
Jes..Yeah Great...Gr... From The Music Lover...Hollanda...Dick .
I am a 65 yr old black woman in America I know your parents are extremely proud of you there's a wonderful future ahead for you I love to hear you play sounds Jimi has come back you are fantastic Taj don't ever stop keep the music come much love
@Dragon Phoenix69 He didn't wake up one morning and suddenly knew how to play guitar - he has learnt to play and kids learn faster than grown ups do. Jeez.
Music unites every race and culture...is the human lenguage of the soul, that is one,.. one love, one heart!
@@Thirdfish he said he listens to a song twice and gets it ...praise the kid
@@Thirdfish how many did you have?
@@SuperDiddzz Your point being what exactly? Or do you think people that play guitar learn it instantly.
This child is going to be a superstar, Pray for his well being! Look back at history and you'll know what I'm speaking of.
Bro he's already a superstar look him up
Ahem... the "child" already IS A SUPERSTAR
He is a superstar.. but definitely pray for him and the world for that matter.
keep joko away from him
He's played with a hugest artist Santana loves him definitely look him up he's everywhere this kid is huge from Australia and I love him!!
For him to be so young is impressive. For him to dominate the guitar is phenomenal. But for this little dude to honestly FEEL the music is simply breath taking...
This kid is already the greatest guitarist ever.. his playing at this age is just phenomenal, supernatural, God bless him.
Taj seems to have the stable home to help him mature emotionally into a star musician. You can't force that kind of talent but you can nurture what is there. Kudos to Taj's family for supporting his passion. God bless them all, keep them safe, and protect his talent.
God is a pigment of your imagination.
Thank you for understanding the value of a child. Let them grow but always be the parent. Protect and love your child. They are very smart.
This child has restored my faithfulness to his generation!!
Long live Classic Rock!!!
Ahh this is so refreshing to watch his emotions as he shreds his beautiful guitar!!
Long live Taj' !!!
Sending love from Saint Petersburg Florida US!!
Much respect for you and your family!!
Stay real Taj!
Fan forever!!!
Peace to you all !
I'm a 62 year old woman who just sits back and smiles whenever you play!!
👍😎🌴❤🎸🎶🎸 ❤🌴😎👍
I hope they teach him to give the glory to God for blessing him with such talents.
He is absolutely INCREDIBLE! What a joy to behold!! God bless you, Taj!
He’s not just covering the song, he’s feeling it and living it...absolutely incredible talent. I wish David Gilmore could see this video. I think he would be blown away. Way to go young man!
anybody who knows even the slightest thing about music, is being blown away! I have watched him for a while now, this guy is special, very special!
Spot on. This lad is one with his guitar.
Now stay out of drugs and helicopters 👊🏼😅
@@Dirk1961-l7y wish SRV heard this message years ago. Imagine these two together on live stage...
There is something about him that screams future legend.
I think you're absolutely right
He's incredible
No doubt about it.
@cyotie42 Do something about it then...
I just hope he doesn't burnt out before his time. I'm 62 looking to hear some great stuff from him by the time he is 16.
A masterpiece within a masterpice played by a little boy... He felt the song and put it in a whole new level... Absolutly beautiful...
VERY well said and I couldn't agree more!!
Agree 💯 percent...
I honestly think this kid can become one of the greatest guitar players ever. Like he started when he was like 7 and he’s 11 now
already is imo
No when he played with Carlos Santana he was 14. Awesome is what he is.
@@tammydonnan8549 3 years ago when I made that comment he was 11..
GOOD NOT AS GREAT AS JIMMY HENDRIX.
Wow, speechless. Such technique at this age? And the passion expressed to this song? WOW.
Taj doesn't just play music, he incarnates it with every cell of his body.
Amen!
Truly a being of musical light!
Absolutely he does. The only other guitarists I've seen do that in person are Dime and Satriani.
I think he looks the same way while he takes a crap ! 🤷🏻♂️ great job , impressive !
@@darrenlee8981 CRUDE !!!
This is what happens when pure natural talent meets desire, practice and dedication. His continued improvement is mind boggling. How much better can he get? I can't wait to find out.
Keep on rocking Taj
I'm 64 years old. I've listed to that song a thousand times or more. This brought tears to my eyes. Wonderful, incredible. Thank you
One of the greatest solos ever..taj could you please the turning away solo. You are sublime you will go down in history young man.
Im a huge floyd fan and ive heard lots of comfortably numb covers by many but taj has a true understanding of what emotions this piece envokes which is rare and he made it his own and its one of my favourite covers i would love gilmore to hear this because i know he would be gratified well done taj keep it up buddy😁

Simply Genius !

Me too brother..
Dude, the feeling this kid has on his guitar is amazing, he has what he needs to become a legend. hope he grows healthy and keeps that amazing feeling and talent of his
This kid is playing the guitar so emotionally that the guitar becomes part of his soul. The greatest guitar legends took them 20 to 30 years to get where This kid is now maybe not even to his level.

What in the amazing angelic performances was that. THIS KID. Outgoing the originals.
I love this kid from the 1st time I saw him. He is the future. He's Amazing. I see in his face that he totally feels the music. So gifted.

True
Yes he is!
I wouldn't go there.. keep in mind all the things he's playing as good as he is... not his..he is the student .. and he's the finest one I've seen
The best 12 year old guitarist in the world. Quite a phenom, and well on his way, but the list above him is long and distinguished. That being said, he is amazing.
all of my favorite guitarists have more emotion than technical skill. This kid is one of my favorites now
One of the very finest solos i’ve ever heard!! Shredding fiercely but with soul. Gilmore would approve!!!
Taj, you are a blessing. You are covered in prayer. Thank you for your sharing your beautiful spirit!
This is one of my most favoured guitar solos ever especially done by the originator David Gilmore. Taj has taken this and applied his own spin, he brings a tear to my eye. How exceptional this is, to all those that give this a thumbs down how inferior an intellect you have. To those people , you have listened to pure magnificence.

Id be happy with 5% of his hair these days.
He's a savant - amazing talent!
I love seeing talent like this.. the way he feels the music hes playing is phenomenal. I wish I had half of his motivation lol

Sweet Jesus, that was mind blowing! UA-cam is full of Comfortably Numb covers, lots of them technically good but lacking feel and emotion. This just knocks it out of the park. 😢😢😢🤟🤟
Taj, some advice. Wear shoes when playing electric guitar. Preferably rubber soles. Keith Relf lead singer of the Yardbirds was electrocuted when he was playing guitar at home barefooted and was killed.
I strongly disagree.
This boy may be technically very good and shows us how great and fast he can play guitar, but the feeling is missing.
Forgive him because he is young.
@@gunnarsteinseifer1267 really? relisten. hes giving it his all. he FEELS it.
Andrey's cover is superior in every way
Ellen asks him about his expressions as he plays. He said the music takes him and he said sometimes I cry when playing. Me too. He moves me to tears.
The way this kid shreds really puts a lot of emotion into what he’s playing
Damn kid...... must've been born with that guitar in his hands playing it so effortlessly... almost brings tears to the eyes.
What a flat out pleasure to see such a young talent embrace such engaging songs in a current culture of 3 cord ditties, no leads, and a attention span of just 4 min max for a song, a true virtuoso! Keep wailing out the classics young man! On your way to Derek Trucks stature!!!
Taj, everytime I see you & I listen EVERYTHING you play, my mouth drops. You are going to me THE BEST gutiar play in the world! (Stephen Chambers 39 y.o. from Missouri USA )
I have never seen anything like it in my life. Thank you for being a spark and a reason for me to smile these days. Thank you.
I'm a huge Pink Floyd fan, and even saw them live in Venice Italy back in 89. This cover of such an iconic solo had EMOTION! Well done.
Taj,your a legend in the making, Keep on playing, Love and light from Dublin Ireland ✌💓🌈🇮🇪
Taj I am heartbroken that I missed this! I had to go to the store. But I did watch it sweetie and you blew me away!!! I love it!!!!!!!!!
Brenda L Andrews have a look at gorgoroth vs Pink Floyd
I get goosebumps when I listen to you play...just so amazing for a person of your age to play like that. You were born with this gift, this natural talent.
Carlos Santana said, If you don’t have “stank face” your not giving it your all. This little guy is amazing, and has the stank face down pat.
And Taj makes Carlos look like a rookie
@@terryroberson2658 - So you say . . .
who am I to contradict Carlos Santana?
That was pretty stanky for sure. 🤘🦶
He definitely has it running throughout his veins!!
This gave me chills at the talent this young man has. I'm a Pink Floyd fan and now I'm a Taj fan. Wow... Blown away.
This young man is a child prodigy!! You have so much incredible old spirit in your soul. You will go beyond the highest star in your journey. Never stop!!! Its your calling.
Epic music is passed down through the generations so it’s never forgotten!! Taj dude, you have just made sure epic music will live on for another generation!!! 🤘🏽
He's already one of the best and I dont mean for his age .But i can't wait to see what this kid becomes
So much talent at such a young age. Looks like there is still hope for the future of guitar based music.
@503 Workshop OK, ANOTHER TROLL HERE, THERE ARE AT LEAST 3 OTHER TROLLS !!!
ALL OF YOU, JUST LEAVE AND SPREAD YOUR BALONEY ELSEWHERE !!!
GOODBYE !!!
This child is all that & more! We are witnessing “Impeccable Greatness”! I don’t know how his parents handle the pride in knowing their coming together created such a glorious gifted son❤️I am so ever grateful I found this captivating young man❤️Mom& Dad hold him close!!🥰God Bless you all🥰
Amazing boy. Great phrasing and taste with variety to boot.
I am absolutely stunned. There has NEVER been a cover of this lick done this well, EVER. Maestro! Virtuoso! Sensei! HUGE respect Taj. I'm a die-hard Floyd fan and up until now, I've picked up the ''overplaying" of this piece. Not today, this is perfection.

I can see the greatest legends sitting around shootin the breeze ... I can hear em say.. took me 25 plus yrs to get that played perfectly... Taj says.. I been playing for 3 yrs and learned your song last week lol...
Wow! Wow! Wow. Over the years I have listened to a lot of up and coming young guitarist. I have heard them tackle the great performances of those whom they are copying. In the words of a very good guitarist friend of mine "The road is always easy if it has been built for you." Instead of a note for note copy, which is what I expected, I had the pleasure of hearing this. An incredible take on one of the most icionic rock performances of all time. The passion, emotion and originality of this sets you firmly apart form the rest of the best young man. Keep it coming. Keep sharing your soul with us. Carlos Santana must have been in awe to have met you. You have his gift.
Damn! My man shreds! This dude just took the single most iconic guitar solo in history and made it better.
The talent of TAJ is just UN-BELIEVABLE! There are no words to describe how good he is.

I love everything you give , to US❤️❤️❤️ from your young heart and soul🙏😎❤️ thank you again😁👌🤩 and I have your play list on my speed dial💥🥰 i truly look to see if you have a new song, everyday!!

YOU ... have made on many lives🤘💥🙏 and will continue to do, with your “ HARD EARNED GIFT”🥰🤩👌 THANK YOU , and your FAMILY AGAIN🎸🎸🙏🤘💥🤩❤️
Taj now owns that lead. Simply incredible!
Incredible! Moving, beautiful, there aren’t enough words to describe your gift. I’m in awe of your talent. ♥️
I swear watching Taj brings a tear, the music is safe!
Всички които са сложили дислайк, вероятно са глухи или пък са болни от холера !!! Огромно браво на гениялният музикант !!! РЕСПЕКТ !
Absolutely outstanding young man. I quit music 25 years ago. You are the reason that make me think, i should give it another try. It's absolutely amazing to watching you, playing your Guitar. Thanks for sharing..........
Hope you and your family stay save.

Taj never ceases to amaze me with his faces. He always seems to feel the music. Keep it up!
He is going to have one of the best stank face ever before it is all over.
David Gilmore is one if the kind. A rare kind. What I like about this version is Taj's impecable timing, rhytm, vibrato, sustain, soulfullness. Speaking of it, only one name comes into my mind and that's Gary Moore. Keep it up, Taj, keep it rocking! God bless you!
Mr Taj...you are the true spirit of rock....fly my man fly...no limits...the sky is yours...
With young men like Taj, rock will NEVER die!! Keep it up Brother, you are already a superstar!! God Bless you, Mom and Dad!! Well done indeed...
In a league of his own and the sky's the limit.
I look forward to seeing you perform at Wembley Stadium one day Taj 😉
Greetings from London UK 🇬🇧
Ive been playing my version of this for about 10 years now...thought i had it nailed...till now !!!...bloody kids !!😂😂...superb Taj. I expected nothing less to be honest .😁😁👍
Love your covers! You have your own sound. I can only imagine what you'll be doing in years to come
He is all the greats come back to play for us again! There is nothing he can’t do with a guitar! Such a talent!
Absolutely phenomenal! A Prodigy for sure. And perhaps a Star seed with the message of love and unity for humanity in these tumultuous times. May he be guided and protected for us all!
i think you may be right...big changes coming to our planet soon in 24-25...and he may play a part in it
You're better with every video. Great how you keep pushing yourself to improve. You have bypassed many seasoned guitarists. Great job!
Oh my God he is absolutely fantastic for sure In another life he was a guitar player he is so talented it crazy xxx
From Montreal Quebec canada xxx
I can honestly say I like every song you interpret & play today. I grew up on them & love hearing you play them 💜
My favourite guitar solo and Taj really does it justice. One to watch in the future
At such an age this young man manages to play with such emotional communication. He has technique and I think he has perfect pitch but much more than that, he has a deep musicality that is a treasure. The world waits to see what he will bring to music as he matures.
