Watch A 13-Year-Old Brandon ‘Taz’ Niederauer Shred Like Hendrix On “Star Spangled Banner”

Happy Fourth of July!

In celebration of Independence Day, check out the guitar prodigy, Brandon “TAZ” Niederauer, shredding through a solo rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” from when the young guitarist played Zach in the Tony-nominated Broadway production School of Rock: The Musical. In the video, previously posted by School of Rock, TAZ rocks a red, white, and blue bandana while doing his best to channel Jimi Hendrix’s iconic sunrise performance of the national anthem at Woodstock Music & Art Fair in 1969.

Check out the video of Brandon’s “Star Spangled Banner,” as well as Jimi’s version, below:
