I’m not upset that this kid is so incredibly talented. I’m just disappointed in myself that I probably won’t ever get to this level of music talent in my life. Hell, maybe any talent…
I won’t reveal how old I am, but let’s just say I’ve got a head start of more than a couple of years on this kid. This kid is playing intricate chord progressions, throwing down nasty licks, and doing justice to a classic country song riddled with incredible guitar riffs, and here I am only ever getting up to medium difficulty on Guitar Hero.
This 9-year-old by the name Taj Farrant figured out how to shred a guitar in less than a decade of being alive and decided to use his guitar talents to cover “Tennessee Whiskey.”
You might read that and say “oh, the Chris Stapleton song.” Yes, but technically the Chris Stapleton cover, considering that the original artist behind the song (that was released in 1981) was David Allan Coe. The song was originally written by Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove, and first recorded by David Allan Coe and then George Jones, but Taj here takes a run at the bluesy Chris Stapleton arrangement…
