Being an old guitar player myself there is no doubt what he plays he plays it "technically" quite well. The only problem with these kids is as talented as many of them are, they won't make much headway copying someone else and as they get older, careers, more often then not, fizzle out. I have seen it happen countless times,over the years, with some pretty impressive musicians. SRV was an original who has been copied by many quality players.
Given the way the music business has evolved, if this boy wants a greater chance for success, along with writing his own material, he must develop his own style.
