Im kinda with nostatic on this one... whenever i hear something from a kid i have to wonder whether we are supposed to be amazed because it is from a kid...or amazed because it is great playing....

any dedicated kid can learn note for note renditions of just about anything if they practice and have good teaching....there are 7 year old cellists that can wow my socks off more than some kid playing regurgitated SRV licks...

even Johnnie Lang, Mayer, Los Lonely Boys etc... i really cant stand that style of playing....
because it is so F#king derivative... most blues is passe really....as a guitar player who has been at it for 20
years or so, i appreciate originality and mastery of the instrument, mastery of harmony and extended harmonic functions....over regurgitated SRV, etc. licks.... and when someone writes a great song, and plays well within the context....wow those rare occaisons really impress me...

but they are young give them a few years to develop as musicians and we will see and hear...
