This young man is amazing to me. Not only is he a phenomenal guitarist and entertainer. He is a considerate, friendly, and conscientious young man. The future of music. I love you Taj Farrant.

@@JHasselroth I agree ! He seems like a peaceful soul. I pray he stay Humble. It takes alot of strength and self respect and discipline to not go down a dark path in the music world. It would be so great to watch him be happy and healthy and smart not take that road. There I am taking like a worried grandma . Hahaha

Just when you think he couldn’t POSSIBLY get any better, he goes and does this. He blows my mind every time I hear him play. If any of you ever get a chance to see him live, DO NOT miss out. You will leave with your face melted off.

Wow! What a song for a 15-year-old! Blues is one thing. But this is blues with funk. Didn't know Taj could funk it up so well! And the Paisley Park celebration was a few days before this gig. Could someone at PP have given him fashion advice? This is the first time I've seen Taj with a "look". And it's good. Looks don't affect the music. Taj's guitar and vocals are now officially off the charts. Watch his June 2024 NY performance of "Red House" by Jimi Hendrix via SRV if you need proof. But Taj is ambitious, and looks make things possible that wouldn't be possible otherwise. He's not a "natural beauty," but he can make up for that with style. Go for it, Taj! Like everything, it will take time to figure out. But you can do it!

They have phenomenal playing skills but without personalized entertainment they won't go anywhere. Stevie Ray Vaughn was a phenomenally gifted player but then he crossed over into pure entertainment. His thing was playing the guitar behind his back. Then there is ACDC which is pure entertainment and awesome talent. Taj is missing his own brand of entertainment.

@@nonebutchrist5136 You aren't showing any understanding. Both of his parents wear extensions or dreads. But I don't think they are making him do likewise. I think he likes them himself. His attire is very nice. And if he likes to wear a hat, what is that to you? As far as "different", I think David Bowie and Lady Gaga pretty much covered that entire area. Do you want Taj to always perform in a spaceship bubble or something, true, Gaga and Bowie hadn't done that. Plus he is only 15 years old and no doubt still figuring out and discovering what he likes and doesn't like. As far as the "faces" he is triple Aries and with that you are going to get a lot of passion intensity fire, it is just one of the ways he channels all of that core energy. Give him time !!!! And in the meantime, enjoy his out of this world feel for music !!!! THAT is what Taj has more than anyone ever !!!! Lots of skilled guitarists out there, but they don't FEEL the music and so are boring as get out !!!! Not with Taj !!!!
