Today’s post is about a young musician I can’t stop marveling over. His name is Jayden Arnold and he reminds me so much of myself at that age (except he’s several miles ahead of where I was).
He’s proof there is no age limit to this thing.
Jayden Arnold
I’ve had the opportunity to talk to Jayden’s mom and she says he is completely self-taught. Never had a lesson, never had a teacher. He just listens to things and is able to pick it out. This is a perfect example of giftedness at a young age.
If you observe his clips, he’s got two-hand chord voicings… he’s got runs… he’s got timing and rhythm… he even has the facial expression of a musician who knows he knows what he’s doing! Kinda like a mini Mike Bereal (if you don’t have the course we did with Mike Bereal, one of the best gospel musicians/producers in the world, click here to check it out.)
So I want you to do a few things today:
1) First, go subscribe to our youtube channel over at http://www.youtube.com/hearandplay
2) Next, go subscribe to Jayden’s channel, which is ran by his mom, at http://www.youtube.com/Diannafaith
3) Watch these videos below:

He should serve as an inspiration for all of us. You’re welcome! :)
This is hot!! Thanks.
Absolutely wonderful!
God is so good,you have to see this to believe it,thanks for sharing Jermaine!!!
This little boy is in a word “BAD.” At 9 years old, I got saved and started playing by ear. At 12 years old, I was playing regularly at my church and traveling with my pastor and church choir. Little Jayden reminds me of my early days as a young, God-gifted musician with no formal training. My mother, who also plays, taught me the basic chords in every key after she saw that I had a gift for music. I played piano well and some organ. However, at 9, I couldn’t play the organ like Jayden is playing it. Love it. Only God could anoint Jayden to do what he does at such a tender age. To God be the GLORY for the gifts that He gives! Thanks Jermaine for sharing all of what you share unselfishly and economically. You are truly a God-given BLESSING TO US! May God continue continue to bless you and your lovely family is my prayer! Love, peace and blessing to you.
He MAkes Me Not Want To Play Anymore. Lol He Is Great And Is Going To Be Great If He Keeps The Lord First
haha Tyree, I know you’re joking but for anyone who really feels like that when they see great players, think opposite. Let this be fuel and inspiration for you.
When we see “masters” or great folks do what they do, we can either be:
-Encouraged
or
-Discouraged
You choose!
That’s the reason you are the great person you are,always encouraging….keep up the good work,,,BLESSINGS!
Amen!!!
You know that I am very quite but I got to comment about this jay den he is a whizz I hope he can stay focus for God the world is definitely going to try and pull him off course, I will pray for him he is Great!!!!!!!

wow mane dis lil dude is wicked OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve had the pleasure to hear him in person and he is a beast! I’m amazed just by watching him control the drawbars and run the bass pedals like a pro! When he isn’t playing, he soaks up everything that others do. And get this, he is a radical praiser! I’m very exited about what God is doing in his life.
