It may be just me, but I don’t believe it is advanced technical ability that makes for a great blues player (in regard to speed, in particular), certainly not that alone. Jazz perhaps, but blues to me is about phrasing, melodicism, lyricism, and an individual, identifiable style. Plus "good" tone, of course. Same with singers. There are "hotter" guitarists than Ry Cooder, but none better.
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.
