Best Stevie Ray Vaughan Cover EVER!!!

[@willgoodfellow3144]

The kids got talent. For those saying he needs to find his own voice, give it time. Rhys is just a teenager. Everyone starts out as an imitation of their idol to some degree before finding a sound and style that is their own.

[@jeremijavanrossum9503]

agree 100 percent

[@ChickumBurtango]

Eventually he’ll have learned everything he wants from stevie’s music and move along to other players and borrow from them. Once he’s collected enough riffs, he’ll move on to writing his own music using what he’s learned.

[@yeetmixclear]

facts!! ive been following him on IG and i see hes been learning stuff from other blues greats, and like you said, teenagers have an idol they look up to, he'll get his own voice very soon

[@youreallygotmenow4855]

He's literally the only player I've heard in my life who can sound EXACTLY like Stevie. I mean, he's got his tone, feel and nuances in the playing down to a freakin' T! What's even more impressive is the fact that he managed to achieve all of this in just three years! I predict this kid will go a long way and he'll definitely have my wholehearted support while 'climbing the mountain' of music biz.

[@youreallygotmenow4855]

@@seanavila5075 Sure, but I still think that Rhys sounds much closer, almost to the point of being virtually indistinguishable from SRV. To my ears, Tommy comes very, very close, but his personal touch 'comes through' more, which is understandable, given that he's an older and more experienced player.

This is such a weak argument. You are allowed to criticize something even if you aren’t good at that particular thing. It doesn’t remove the negative facts.

@@Ironworthstriking Yeah, you can cry, no one will stop you. I never said you cannot. That's why envy exists and this dude at a young age can make more than most of the guitarrist, he has potential.

Great talent...I've seen SRV twice live myself and I'm a huge fan. my style is based off his..My biggest suggestion is that when you climb up the neck...slow down just a touch...you have the technique and the talent...Remember for Stevie it wasn't about playing the most amount of notes the "fastest" it was all about making each note count...and you my friend are extremely close to nailing his technique. Great job..keep up the awesome work. We need more players like you

[@youreallygotmenow4855]

A Tube Screamer (plugged into a valve amp) is all you actually need in terms of pedals, mate. What's really required is a lot of hard work and thousands of days of diligent study of SRV's precious catalog 👍

[@jimthebutcher99]

Close but no Cigar. Went from this pretty good rendition and went over and listened to SRV and the difference is like night and day. Pretty damn good but when you go over and listen to SRV every note is just so much clearer. Not running you down just saying you are close but clarity of notes is where SRV takes the top prize.

[@garethwonham]

Can’t deny his talent and mind blowing at his age. Let him play as he is, but he seriously had to find his own voice and an image. Hate saying this, but as he is and as someone in their mid 20s or 30s, he will just become a meme and a bit of a joke, no matter how good a player he is.

[@ronfrey5327]

Clearly specializes in this style if every tune he plays is in the same tuning and he could play through every tune he knows in Eb tuning and touched on the gear that would be a great instructional delve into this style and how to get the sound.. Tuning is everything ... But he could knock out an instructional dvd maybe roll through every tune once get some lunch come back do 2nd take he seems to have it down where he can go right though them. If he can play fairly still or in one area and camera can stay on his fingerings then one can clearly see and once your tuned up to the video should be able to figure these tunes out correctly.. In the style of explain the chords progressions and scales or phrases used and some gear suggestions I mean if its about the same soundwise and pedals dont need adjusting then its just back to back songs..Some minor breakdown of gear settings and the correct fingerings for chords or scales.. Film it put it on thumb drive for lessons.. Maybe sell instructional bundle.. If it was affordable id buy something like that to learn the tunes properly and know the tuning.....

[@R0BERTMAY]

Amazing talent! Sean Mann has nailed SRV much better in my humble meaningless opinion

[@anythinginvegas]

Rhys rules! In time, he will mature and branch out. At 15 SRV wasn't playing this stuff. Patience critics, patience. If YOU can play like Rhys, at his young age, then you can criticize... Give him a break!👍👍👍

Ever? No. He knows the notes, but they're not stacatto and percussive. I can play this song better, but so can a lot of people. Plus, he can't keep time well.
