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: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qquHtLuwdtTLYLQ.html And if you're not familiar, you'd probably enjoy Rick Beato's channel: kzread.info

When I say you took my breath away, I freaking mean.., that literally. I nearly couldn't breathe. I first got goose bumps with chills , they rushed from my feet to my face. Chills Growing stronger I just put my head back and listened and felt everything, doom, anguish, yearning , hope,passion,fear, life.(that's the point when I was loosing my breath,lol) Just so many that were in direct contrast to the next . Omg kiddo even I cried.i'm not now tho. It probably will kill me one day just listening to you jam. you're quite the Svengali.

This is the coolest thing I have ever seen. I have a 10 year old, I play guitar (pretty well) and neither I, nor my kids could play this blindfolded. This is SO gangster. Don’t let it go to your head. Stay humble. Keep working hard, and be gracious...and the world is yours. I hope you are looking forward to be a massive rock star. 🤘🏻

When you`re in your teens I` ll be long gone, But until that day, I`ll be able to say, I lived to see and hear one of the very, Very few Top Leade Guitar "Musician`s" on the planet.

Please Taj's parents : take steps to protect your son's hearing. It's not talked about often, but many professional musicians suffer significant hearing loss due to the career- long loudness of their own instruments and other musicians on stage or in the recording studio with them. Taj needs you to look out for him now. Make sure he still gets some childhood in while he starts what is hopefully a long and fruitful career.

I could go on and on re attention to risks, creating and maintaining balance. Wisdom follows pain, they say. Parasites are attracted to magnets, metals and electrical current. All auto immune diseases are caused by parasites. There are many. Some feed off our hormones and influence our thoughts/mood. Balanced diet and lifestyle.are important guards as are detox strategies. The air and water quality are as important as the walls that surround us. Parasites love darkness and dampness, yet some larvae requires daylight exposure. Airing the room and good hygiene are paramount to attain longevity. How much quality of life one can enjoy after age 50 is partly determined by choices made in the first couple of decades of one's life.

The importaance of good role models. One can only hope... The nuclear family spliced in fromt of the idiot box (TV) contributed to a breakdown in the social fabric. A growing emphasis on everyone's freedoms, little discipline and self restraint. No shortage of different sets of values; just no cohesion. Except for the ghastly religious moralistic preach and duplicity. C21st begins a stocktake of values, sorting through what is essential, non essential and what can be kept for fun, just for a laugh, hahaha.

This young man was born to do this. When a musician feels every nuance deep within his spirit, it shows and with this skilled kid, it’s SHOWS. I’ve been a musician for 46 years and have played guitar for about 36 and I still can’t rock that lead the way he does. And then there’s his character. Stellar. Bravissimo, young man. You’re going to make a mark in this world.

To all that gave a thumbs down.... Give props where props are due. This lil dude just jammed out Pink Floyd and hit it nearly note for note. Don't be mad because you have trouble playing just a radio. Lil man, you rock dude. Don't stop believing in yourself, keep being the badass lil dude you are and you'll grow up into one heck of a man. Your parents have every reason to be proud and especially you. Keep rockin' and your dreams are yours 🤘 🎸

For all those that doubt this I have been playing for 25 years and this is spot on for a 9 year old.... much respect young sir

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...
