Hope for the blues..

Every now and then, someone posts a child "shredder" or classical prodigy, and a couple really do entertain and amaze.
 
This British(fittingly?)10 year old has every electric bluesman infused in his playing. Imo, he's on the same level as a super advanced Classical piano or violin prodigy.
Perhaps the players here, may know of this unique musician.

If you were just listening to his playing, you might assume it's some seasoned hotshot! The kid performs like someone who's been on the road for decades!

Its like DNA from B.B,every British god,Winter,SRV were all blended and this  fortunate individual 
had the winning ticket. I see a bright future here.

Good to see the blues torch being passed. I don't watch any of those "talent" shows, but I'm guessing  this level is rare.

I suppose if I spent time on Youtube, I'd be hip to soo many talents...

This American kid should get together with the Brit and form a supergroup.
May not work though....Cream,Zep, Sabath,Who all had ONE guitarist! Conflicting creativity?

bdp24- I agree,  technical prowess is only part of the equation.
Johnny Winter,  was one of the few guys that got away with playing a bazillion notes, yet sound musical.

Hopefully,these  2 will mature and it will show in their phrasing, less notes, and more "feeling."

They are off to a good start.

We all agree a player isn't all technique / speed or wanking.

Since the links were  in a Blues/Rock vein,
I think Sir Jefe can do what he wants

Covering a Freddie King tune like this isn't for amateurs.
Love that Max Middleton piano intro. He really stretched it out!
