We love spotlighting kids who know how to rip on their instruments, we have a whole channel dedicated to it. Today, we spotlight Taj Farrant, a nine year old from Australia who grew a passion for guitar after seeing AC/DC perform live for the first time, two and a half years ago.
So, you have two years to catch up to this nine year old and be nearly as good as him. He appeared on The Ellen Show today, March 19th and shredded his head off with a rippin' solo. More shred on his YouTube channel. Asked what inspired him to play, he told Ellen “My dad took me to an AC/DC concert two and half years ago, and I was on my pop’s shoulders, and I said, ‘I want to do that for the rest of my life.'” Taj also says he can hear a song and then play it by ear after a few tries.
