I have permission to post this video, but I don't own the rights. Enjoy!
He carries a heavy baton!
God-bless the "Blues"!!!!
Thank you! Taj
When young dude gets & understands feel/soul, he's gunna be something else😎...Super skills at a young age is impressive!
I've been watching him, since he was a 13 year old phenom!!
As have I. Central Coast NSW, yeah! He doesn't have to try so hard to impress. His voice is his best asset. It is his own!
He will find his own guitar sound and style. He got his guit face already!
Man, I miss Stevie Ray Vaughn.
First thing I thought. He’s channeling it for sure.
Yeah. He didn't use too much echo like this guy.
Amen to that
@@stevehinkley1530 Stevie's tone was much better but Taj is still just a young kid I'm sure his style will improve as he ages.
I know that's right!
He s still got those expressions. He s definately gifted ❤
Seeing him perform live, you see him feeling every note and it shows on his face.
Been awhile since I seen this kid, he really sprouted up.
First time I’ve heard him sing
He doesn’t just play, he brings the music through him and gives it back to us❤😂
I saw Taj perform near Austin, Texas on September 9, 2023 and got to speak with him. Really nice young man, and his family is just as lovely.
I am jealous! I am from Central BC Canada I've been watching this young man explode the stages in the US. I hope The Farrant's come to Canada This young man is kicking ass on stages across the Country. Cheers...
He is keeping the legend of Jimi and SRV alive, while creating his own. Play on you six string madman.
I have been watching him since he was 8 yrs old he is totally awesome ❤
Weird
I've watched this kid for a while now and he will go down as one of the best guitarist to ever play.His fill and passion is a level of greatness ,such a pleasure..
definitely. remember he's 15 right now. how's he going to sound even just 5 years from now?
Also been watching this kid play for a while truly an unbelievable player. He will go down in history as one of the all time best!
Doubtful
Honestly I was today years old when I realized he wasn't a girl 😂
@@williamcook9703wow, the jealousy is pretty cringey. Considering he’s on stage at NAMM and not just in a booth on the floor says something. Get over yourself lol
@@Ignigknok just saying, not like he's not good or I'm "jealous".
I'm just not seeing something that would suggest we're looking at budding "greatness". Seems a bit hyperbolic.
*Geeze, People are so dramatic about everything
If he stays clean.
When a guitar genius dies...another one is coming! He's here!
Nicely spoken.
Haven’t seen Taj in a couple of years. He’s really growing up.
That young man tears it up !!! And in his socks no less, what a talent.
Lol when he was really young he was always bare foot!
@@phatphat7089 shoeless like Ronnie van zant of skynyrd, never wore shoes said he loved feeling the music through his feet?
Phenomenal performance as Always.. Taj is just a phenomenal talent. Already up there with the very best at just 14..👌🎸😎🏴🇬🇧
Never heard of this young man before.. I will be following his progress now. 🇺🇸👍
Yeah, he's good. I've been digging Hendrix since circa 67
He was on America's got talent at 9 years old and tore it up.
Taj was on Australia's Got Talent.
next level and only getting better
I’ve been watching Taj since he was 9 years old!! He was on Australias got talent!!
Me too
@@jules1817😂😂 I guess the wind that comes out of your backside sounds better 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I remember when he was little playing Angus Young....he has AMAZING TALENT 🎸🎶💫💥🩵
Taj, you & the band you played with were all in sync! You’ve got soul little brother playing your E guitar’s
Sensational Superstar
Excited to watch you; you get better & better; as you get older.
Been watching you since you were 9!! I knew then; there was something Special about U.
Make’s me miss all the Great Musician’s.
U have stepped up to the Plate; & serving it up to us❣️Amazing
HIS VOICE IS GETTING BETTER EVERY YEAR
Like good church, that's food for the soul! Preach it, brother!
Oozing straight from Taj's soul out thu the guitar to you.
I've been watching Taj since he first started showing himself on you tube, when he was about knee high to a grasshopper. Then he went famous fast. He started off as this cool little kid that was seriously a natuaral rock star. He was born to rock! I just love him.
Sure glad I watched Taj shred my fav Jimi blues tune AND performed at NAMM!! An audience filled with top notch guitarists who can truly appreciate Taj's talents.
That was some guitar playing great job
Reminds ME of SRV you keep doing it TAJ God bless you 😂😂😂
Bevor ich sterbe möchte ich dich einmal live erleben,bleib gesund Taj ...Grüße aus Germany ❤
Loved your performance Taj you are growing fast into a monster of blues guitar man.
So proud of you!! Your playing is SUPERIOR !!!! Love you always!! No one could be better!!! Extreme talent!! God gave it to you for a reason, at a young age, you'll bring the world together! In time.... biggest love Fancy Nancy 😍
Holy Hell!! Where in the fu** did this kid come from?? Wow, I'm going to have to do some research and keep an eye on this one 🤯
Man! Ima follow you! You bleedin the blues 💙 !!!
This is my absolute favorite jimi tune. Taj did it extremely well for sure
Fantastic version♡ 🎸 ⭐️
I HAVE NEVER seen anything like him and I have worked with some incredible guitarists.
This is pure Gold! And we also have Ozzy Osborne on the bass guitar...rock on!
Closer and closer I said he could be one of the best guitar players ever. He's getting closer thanks man. Nice show
I read the profile of this channel. And by the way I also love Buffalo Springfield and csny. I'm a 67-year-old fan of rock and roll. Mostly the older Rock which is called classic rock these days. Because it is classic. And I'm also a big fan of all the British bands like The Hollies The Moody Blues and Badfinger as well as the Beatles and the stones. But I also love the Bee Gees, and they were from Australia. I've written two songs myself, but at my age now I can't sing anymore I can hardly play the guitar anymore either. And I quit the drums a long time ago. But I still have an ear and a love for music
You're never too old to rock and roll!
Why Stevie chose to come back as a 14 year old Australian boy is his choice. I’m just glad he’s back.
💯
He is really growing up. He is as tall as any of the grown men up there.
Brilliant 🎤🎸🥁🎼🎼🎼🇺🇸☮️ awesome cover ❤
Taj,everytime I see you,your singing is get better and better great job!
I been watching him since he was like 7 or so and he could tear it up then , always said he gonna be the next
@@davidcantrell64 I discovered him recently. He blew my socks all the way to China!
YOU ARE ONE OF THE FEW WITH THAT KIND OF TALENT FOR SURE!
And his voice has grown leaps and bounds
I knew he could play like a madman but I didn't realize how well he can sing. He sounds phenomenal
This guy is a serious badass!
What a great young man Jimmy and Stevie would love him 😂😂😂😂
Wow…duder stepped it up bigly!!! Well done kid…bravo!!!
Been following Taj since he was 9. Am a classic rock and blues fan. He’s an amazing talent! Got tickets to see Taj at The City Winery, New York City on June 2. Front row table! Can’t wait!!
Shoot. Now you tell me he was in town? -brooklyn 😢🤘
Taj is just a force of nature. Can't believe the guitar doesn't go out of tune due to the assault it's getting! Thank you for posting this rare gem.😊
You're welcome. I was happy to have such a clear view.
Wow he’s gotten even better if that’s even possible
This dude is a hybrid of SRV and Hendrix. Freaking awesome.
Great job my friend, I just love the guitar 🤟🤟✌️
To be so young and feel the music like he does is just amazing!!!!!! You keep the music alive Taj!
The young man is highly talented! I wish him a long life. (I imagine that I can sound almost as good if no one is listening besides me, but I have experienced the connection between soul and fretboard).
Fair winds and following seas to all.
His skill and technique is off the chain, when this young pup gets his heart broke and experiences real blues, he will be a monster
It's hard to believe someone this good is only going to get even better. He's just a teen my lord... It's like he is possessed by the great blues players of the past.
I was blown away!
Could it be Stevie back for another Earthly go round? Well….I must say you rock Taj!!!!
How many hours do you think that young man has had that guitar in his hands! I bet they have never touched a gaming controller or TV remote...
It's funny to hear you mention that. I've been a guitarist for over 20 years, but I just made the tough decision to part ways with my PS5 because of the time consuming distraction it had become. Now that it's gone, I have a strange peace about it 👍 Time to rock !
@@scrap8930i’m just 21 but i’m in the same boat, gonna part ways with the xbox to focus up on guitar.. a small part of me hopes one day i can be on stage. cheers
Taj started when he was 7. There's an interview where he said he used to practice his scales while watching TV until he could do them without thinking about them. He would practice 8 hours a day. His dad would put on backing tracks and Taj would make up solos on the spot.
I think Taj decided when he was 3 after seeing AC/DC from sitting on his Dad's shoulders to see , that he wanted to Play the guitar like that when he grew up ❤️
Taj was 6 when he went to the concert and he got the guitar on his 7th birthday. He just plays like someone who has been playing since he could walk! There's the cutest footage of him with a toy guitar when he was a toddler that his grandmother posted recently.
Ya!! Incredible ❤
So much growth in this last year, early career and nothing but up from here. A lot of effort, practice, discipline on top of that innate musical connection. Love it!
A supportive family, too. All living in the States now, so Taj can have the best opportunities.
This young man has grown up quite a bit since I saw him on AGT and actually before that. And I still wonder about the rest of his family how musically they still are inclined. Because he also had a younger sister I think it was who was playing as well
Oohoo. First time hearing him sing with both his voices.
Ignore the idiots yapping about his hat, his hair, his pants, his socks etc ffs let him be who he is and let's see YOU have the talent to get to play NAMM. Or get on TV all the time like this kid has been doing since like 8 years old. He's only 14 now.. just starting his career so give him a break jeez.
Amen sir I have been watching him since he was 8 yrs old and I am 70 I love Taj
@@whichgodofthousandsmeansno5306 yes I love him
I've always thought Taj is Stevie Ray Vaughan reincarnated. After seeing this performance I'm even more convinced than ever!!
God Bless Y'all, Jimmy in NC....
Taj just continues to mature and amaze.
He sure is growing up! Wow!
Thank you ☮
Absolutely amazing.
When he could do this at 9yrs. Old? 🌹💞🙏 Still Think God isn't showing His Hand? And we Are in our Last Days? 🌹💞🙏 Rock On Taj 🎉🍾🥂💕🤠You Make The World a little Brighter, and Chase away The Shadows By Bringing in The Light! 💞All The Best to You and Your Family!🌹💕🙏fromJinx the Wolf🐾🐾🐾... .. . 🇺🇸
This young man went from amazing to phenomenal !!!!!
Thanks to Rock and Roll Women for putting this up.
It's my pleasure to share what I get to see and hear. This is my hobby in retirement. Keeps me in the right kind of trouble!
Cuckoo,
I really appreciated your sharing.. A pleasant performance.. Bravo.. See you soon.. 1 like and my subscription.. Good evening Danielle⚘️🎶🎵👋
Many thanks!! I love sharing what I get to see and hear as an Angeleno.
I remember when he was a little kid it's insane he was playing that well
Some people got it, others don't, taj definitely has the magic touch. Flawless ✌️
Be sure to link to his home page on UA-cam! Give him the love and respect he deserves!
I will look it up and add it. Thank you!
I've seen plenty of kids playing fast on UA-cam, but Taj plays with heart, and he plays well with other musicians. That's a very different thing than just exhibiting great technical skill. I am in awe of this young man, and want to lift up his parents. His talent and obvious hard work couldn't have gotten him here without their support.
Sounds great!
Stevie has returned!! ❤
Such a sick jam.
This kid's already the G.O.A.T...at 14! So lucky to have seen him in a small club in Phoenix last week.
Amazing SRV!
Good to see you sticking with it!
Dear Lord, that was really fine. I am an old woman. Along the getting into 4 minute mark I started having heart palpations. Fine playing young man. Thank you Rock and Roll Woman, I am going to look around for some more. Any favorite recommendations?
I post a lot of what I see on my channel. Saw a very young band called The Waiting Room last weekend, and I'll be uploading a couple of their songs. It's more straight ahead rock than blues.
Thank you whoever that post this
You're welcome. I was so lucky to have this primo place to watch from - had to share.
@@RockandRollWoman 🔥🔥🔥😜😜 This boy born with a guitar on their hands. I love to see new talents.
I think the today’s music has to change and go back to the 70-80’s again.
He has the Erick Clapton, Jeff Beck, Gary Moors Hendrix in your inner for sure
My dude on rhythm guitar with the fit of the century
Как будто за спиной Таджа стоят вместе духи Хендрикса и SRV. Зацепило очень!!!Поразительно как с самых малых лет можно так сродниться с инструментом, что он становится продолжением рук. А артистизм то какой уже в 14 лет!!! И насколько же ещё продвинется в развитии этот мальчик?!!!!
Без ботинок в носках - это классная фишечка!!! 😆
@@КонстантинТ-ч7с I asked his dad about that at one of his shows. He said this was so that Taj could feel the pedals better.
Most people could practice their whole lives and still be unable to play like that. He has the feel for it.
And thank god his parents support him to the fullest. They've moved from Australia to the US to give him the best shot at success.
So good to see the Youngbloods stepping up. Respect.
Taj is the best player I know of that’s what I’m thinking.
Sublime!!!
Go Taj !!! My favorite song 💜💜💜
Hoping Taj continues his blues/rock ways missing the greats from our past
First time I've heard him sing. Really made me think of Stevie Ray. Kid grew up in a hurry.
Rock on Taj!!
GREAT JOB ALL...THANX 4 MAKING Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO the music worldwide.
LOVE YOU ALL...!!!....MUCH LOVE.!!
Gave me chills in his approch...just total master, and how he puts his feeling into that Ax, just chilling.....incredible
Hard work and dedication. Endless hours every day. No savant.
This generation’s SRV hands down!!!
The amazing thing is, he is still 15 years younger than my daughter lol
He's an absolute samurai...would love to see him do his own thing
He has a song that is ranked #1 in Australia……Bad Trip….
@@troypalisi3757 I just listened to it. It doesn't trip my switch.
He doesn't have his "own thing."
Hopefully he'll mature and actually play stuff that moves people some day and stop acting like he feels emotion in his playing with all those stupid faces. Talk about over the top, jesus.
Dang Taj ♥️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This child has been here before. Old hippie soul.
