Watch This Nine-Year-Old Nail The Solo To Guns N' Roses' Sweet Child O' Mine

On a new episode of The Ellen Degeneres Show, an incredibly talented nine-year-old from Australia showed off his shredding skills by absolutely nailing the guitar solo to Guns N' Roses' smash single Sweet Child O' Mine.

The star in question, Taj Farrant, has apparently only been playing guitar for two-and-a-half years, and was inspired to learn after seeing AC/DC with his dad. Wow…

"You’re all about to get your minds blown," says Ellen as she introduces Taj. "We meet a lot of talented kids on this show. Our next guest is truly something special. He's an incredible guitar prodigy who can play Prince, Black Sabbath, Guns N' Roses like no-one else I've heard."

With GN'R set to release a brand-new album at some point in the future, can we now expect a cameo from Taj on the record?! Surely Slash wouldn't mind putting his feet up for a bit…
