I know I’m a bit late to the party but I need to make a comment . Finally , someone who innately knows how to interview child artists; talk WITH the artist , not just TO the child .... heaven knows , we all might even learn something . I fully concur with Nico’s above praise . Great interview , Pete .

Yes, Raised correctly. Carry on Taj

His licks are great, full of feel and soul, his vibrato and bends are super good for his age. BUT what really blows my mind is the fact he uses his guitar pickup selection and volume like a veteran! Pete looked like he wanted to jam all day!

The Ellen Show recording (which was comment disabled for some reason) was great because he does a Sweet Child of Mine solo and I swear he intentionally reproduces Slash's timing mistakes. He's scary advanced!

Kid has tone in those fingers...really cool to showcase him...the future of rock is in good hands 😎

When a player as incredible as Pete listens and honours the gift in interviewing allowing Taj to be himself and equal in respect. Great work sir. 👍

Taj is a little superstar! How can you not love this little guy. He's incredible and his parents did something right, eh? He has the knowledge and skill of an adult. Rock on bro. We love you! 💕💕

Such a down to earth young gentleman, 2.5 years playing? Thats incredible. Also works the volume and tone knobs like a pro.

His "what wouldn't you like?" response is one of the most impressive rock and roll statements I've ever heard.

Wish i could express how much Taj touched my 70 year old heart with his charm and big beautiful talent. It takes a lot to blow my mind, i have been blessed to have heard some of the greats, but my mind is blown and i will forever be a Taj fan !! Keep on rocking it...stay grounded and stay clean my cool young man. You have blessed us with your hard work and wonderful talent. 🤘🎶🎸💖

Pete Hands Down - One of the best interviews in KZread .

What a guy. He has a good ear. I was listening to Gary Moore when I was 14 and advanced vastly in a short space of time. I would have liked to have met him to thank him. Great video.

Brilliant!!! So awesome to see the youngsters embracing the guitar. 9 year old kid playing Chuck Berry!!! I love it!!! I'm also fairly certain that this young man has perfect pitch, as well. Just listening to him play back the licks and how he has his vibrato already worked out. Amazing. Check out how he plays on his channel on "Tennessee Whiskey". It's jaw dropping.

Great kid but even greater interviewer. Pete, you're the cool older brother and uncle that every kid wish they had. You asked really good questions and had an excellent rapport with Taj. Rock on. 🤘

Amazing. I loved how excited his playing made you feel. Just pure joy

I totally love TAJ and I'm 60 lol hes sooo darn cute and is AMAZING Keep it up baby boy your are the next biggest Jimmy Hendricks

My goodness! I love this kid! He's got great tone and clearly a great ear. Those bends are fantastic! And so much personality!

I love the fact he loves Angus, this kid knows where it's at.

By far, the best interview to a musician I've ever seen, respect, good jokes nad good tones. Awesome Pete

2 and a half years .....amazing!! Imagine him in 2 more years...I hope Taj keeps it up... he has an incredible talent!

You are a great dude Pete, such a stand up guy. Very nice interview.

I want to see him play with Slash, I Love this kid

I like this kid. I hope he's got good health and luck in his life!

This kid is awesome! Only been playing 2 1/2 years , wow!!

Mark this date on a calendar , you will hear from this young guy again someday for sure . He's got better tone in his hands at 9 than many players on tour etc etc . Great Video Pete !!!!!

Dude could of not given a better interview. Perfectly done man!!!! Really cool thank you. Kid is the best one I’ve seen. He is on the way to the top

Man, I have a student that is exactly like him. He is picking things up so quickly that I have trouble teaching him new things every week. So most of the time, we just jam for half an hour. I love it when kids are so into their instruments.

He was literally born with a guitar in his hands. That's a difficult labor for mom for sure ;)

Holy crap Taj, you had me screaming , "Good Lord this kid smokes!!!" the whole video. Congrats on the new axe too man!

Best vid I've seen on the tube in a good while! Totally awesome, thanks!

Oh, what a little rockstar...Taj is sooo excellent...thanks for sharing, Pete!!! 💗💗💗

Taj , great playing buddy keep it up!!!!! Thanks for sharing Pete. Brought a smile to my face. Keep moving it forward to future generations.

Pete, thanks to pay attention to others and being kind for the next generation. They need good mentor to keep rock&roll alive 🤘🏻 This young guy as a nice musical future though ! Cheers !

I,m 75 and I listen to this kid play since he was 9 yrs old he will become a true icon for sure.

Great stuff bro, fellow Aussie here and in Aus this kid really is hittin it big!

Never give up yall! Taj is so cool and so great already! Keel rockin on and rocking out Taj!!!🎸🎸🎸🎶🎶

we are seeing a true gtr legend in the making !!!!! insane how he plays & what he knows... but the most important thing is his feel !!!!!! AMAZING !!!

Awesome. Feel beyond his years

You did such a good job of interviewing him! It was a pleasure to see that much fun. The talent of both him and you is epic, but your enjoyment and fun between the two of you transcended anything about ages or generation and got down to a personal level. Nice job.

wow, I play 1/100th as good as him and only been at it 40+years.....The kid is awesome. Great video Pete.

What a lovely clip! Great to see the genuine enthusiasm from Pete who was very gracious towards young Taj. The ability of both goes without question.

What an absolute talent at such a young age. Well done Pete, great interview, you really adapted to such a young kid. Awesome 👏🏻

This is just so awesome!! That boy have the future clear!👍🤘🤘

Can't wait to hear what this young man brings to the guitar community! Thanks!

Taj is a fantastic guitar player, irrespective of his age. I loved this interview, Pete.You have a great rapport with Taj and never patronise him, children understand people who engage properly with them. Taj has a brilliant personality - he's a natural. I bet you two will become great pals.

He's amazing! Well done Taj. Pete, great interview. Taj has such a focused ear. Thx for sharing guys.😎👍

I’m 71 years old and still love the R&R. You are just fab. Keep at it.

GREEEAAAAT!!!!! He has a bright future ahead!!!! It´s incredible to see him playing with such authority and style at such a young age. Thanks for the video Pete! You are great with kids!

Great stuff Pete. Go Taj, keep rippin' 🇦🇺

This video represents the best of what social media is all about. So great. Pete you are such a great guy and Taj keep smokin it up buddy.

This video just made my morning! Nice to see someone his age put down the video game controller and picked up something to be inspired with. Great video Pete!

Fantastic !! I was smiling and laughing all the way through! Loved it Gonna follow this guy he's gonna be a force.

Such a great interview you did here, Pete. You let him be the star of the show and talked to him as if he were a peer, not just another kid guitarist that the internet made famous. Very cool way to approach the video and it illustrates just how good of a person you are, as we are already all aware of how great of a player you are. Rock on, dudes 🤘

I’m calling it: Touring with each other in less than a year & it’s just a 2 hr show of this smile inducing rock n roll banter. I’ll be there!

You're an amazing person and an even amazing inspiration, Pete! Big fan here, love from India :)

Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable. This kid is amazing! It made me so happy to see someone so young just completely owning the instrument. Thanks for sharing this with us, Pete!

Nice see so much intensity in his playing ability! Pete I know you were having a great time here! He will be great especially if he has pros like you Pete around! Cheers to you both!!

I love it - he such a cool little guitar player and for only playing for just over 2 years is amazing! Keep rockin!

He is so calm and reserved in the interview. He is a great musician and knows it. We need more young people like him.

This kid is unbelievable for just playing for 2 1/2 years. You’re looking at a legend in the making.

I love watching this beautiful child play with so much emotion 💫

When this kid finds his own voice, he’s gonna be scary. Thank you for sharing. Such a kind and respectful interview. (If only he knew who he was taking to...) Great tuff, Pete. I love your channel.

The future of rock is alive!! Keep rockin' little man!!!

I ve seen lots of kid guitarist on youtube that can sweep pick and bends, but this kid has the exact amount of pick and attack and bends, microtonal etc. He sounds more natural, than other kids which have talent but sounds kinda robotic. He is sure to be legend in the future.

I wondered if he liked slash . I do . But now my favorite forever will be Taj farrant. He is just so damn cool, old school cool too. And cool about everything. His replies, his choice of wardrobe, and what to play , when and how to play it. He's polite,respectful speaking to others. Not cocky like so many young musicians are these days. And he still remains humble. And he still remains a kid, when he's not being a pro. Did you catch his performance on America's Got talent? If not watch it my favorite part is when he walks down to the judges. Man, I got it meet this kid before I drop dead. I've never wanted to meet anyone. Lol
