I've watched Rhys develop his chops for a few years now. I'm very fortunate to have got to know him and I can honestly say hes a fantastic human.
100%! Such a gem! Hope you’re doing well btw, love your pedals 🎸❤️
Being a fantastic human is actually the most SRV thing someone can possible do.
The crap he gets for sounding like SRV is the crap SRV got from people saying he sounded like Hendrix. I support him doing exactly this, enjoying the music and the instrument passionately. I would like SRV in 2023 but he ain't around and i'm glad he's keeping Stevie's legacy alive! 🙏
Bro srv and Hendrick don't sound ANYTHING ALIKE. That's the difference. I can listen to a song & tell which one it is. This guy lacks originality
@@austinking2959 people back then always said SRV sounded like Hendrix, it's documented in interviews and quotes by critics in magazines. This guy is also a teenager, he'll find his way but he's gotta find it first. I applaud what he's doing, I just don't find the logic in putting him down for being great at what he's doing.
I really don't agree with the SRV sounded like Hendrix comment lol, They're both good but I can't phantom physcadelic/classic rock sounding anything like the southern blues
i think its amazing he’s keeping srvs music and style alive because somebody has to. But srv sounds nothing like hendrix really just some similar licks and fast paced blues/rock but jimi had a way bigger rock/psychedelic sound
Incredible playing, i just really hope he finds his own sound because he's just a very skilled SRV reincarnation now which is cool but will only get you so far
The irony of copying a guy who copied a guy 🤪✌️
@@evrgreen_69Stevie was inspired by many players, some more than others. Nobody was really using the Tube Screamer, Vibroverbs and Super Reverbs, heavy strings, high action, etc etc... and none of Stevie's heroes were either.
@@ChrsGuit meh..
@@evrgreen_69 I mean... that's the way it is if you actually look deeper into it, not face value...
@@ChrsGuit plays blues: "hE CopIEd SomEOnE!?!?!?"
Tremendously talented young man. Go Rhys!
100% - Amazing talent!! I remember you supporting me back when I was this age and it means a lot 🎸🚀
@@PedalPawn I'm proud of what you've become and honored to have been a part of your journey.
So cool you got him on here, inspiring! But always remember ; guitar heroes become heroes because they have a style that is theirs, not a style that is anothers.
Word.
yeah but rhys has been playing for 3 years and he's this good. yeah he sounds like stevie, but i think it's unfair to put that expectation on him. he's playing guitar cause he loves it, and there's no need to make it anything more than that. even then, it takes fkn years, maybe decades to develop a personal style. at the time stevie was famous and alive, he was playing for over 20 years and you still hear massive amount of other great players like albert king and hendrix in his playing
@@notperson72753 years? Are you serious?!!?
@@notperson7275 I couldn’t agree more! And no one becomes an icon at the age of 15 so he has time, and of course you hear some inspiration in unique styles, but to become an icon you need to have that type of style
Every guitarist would be better if we all spent time in the guitar SRV world like he is. He’s killing it and when he put’s it together with all his other influences he will have his voice and will have a lot to say musically
Have been following Rhys for quite some time now. The way he practiced and improved with time is very inspiring and awesome!!
I hope he keeps going like this ❤
This young man is awesome,hope he does his own thing in the future !
I've been through this at this age. I'm 53 now. SRV was such huge influence, and always will be. There's so much to take away from his music. I became the SRV of my town like a year after he passed away, but my show was flooded with his music. Noone could play it more closely at least in my mind. I remember one night someone brought a napkin to the stage. It read, you're damn good, but no more SRV. Lol!! That hurt a little bit. Once I came in second to a harmonica player at a blues competition because I was so influenced by SRV. I won a King of The Blues guitar competition in my home town. The open forum accused me of being another SRV guy. Lose the hat, keep the influence, but find your own thing. Life advice kid. You're talented, have a good tone etc. Expand your horizons. None of us will be SRV, and I've yet to see anyone that touches his vibe. Not even the great KWS. I've seen them both live, there's a massive difference. Still though, it's so nice that young people are still so influence by the man. He was just a cool cat all the way around.
This is the comment this kid needs to read. Lose the hat, he needs to lose that hat.
He is just a kid and impressionable. He will find his own sound. Only been playing for 4 years.
We first met Rhys and his mum this year at Namm and hung out for a while, then we all took a trip to Norms Rare Guitars. It was a great few days. Really pleased you got him on here. 👍🏻🔥🎸
Been following Rhys on IG for about 2 years. So happy and proud of him. Can't wait to see him live one day!!
Man he’s got talent! It’s going to be pretty cool watching him continue to refine and develop.
With action that high his control is superhuman.
All cool and amazing player but he’s just adopted everything SRV. The strings. The gauge. The licks etc. time to do your own thing with all that talent.
It’s awesome to know that there are other people out there my age who play guitar and love the blues!
This guy plays amazingly!
Do yourself a favor and start learning jazz, prog and fusion. Sticking to blues will stunt your growth
"I am not original. I just rely on a person that was, for my income."
Bro. He’s 15. Dumbass.
I’ve whatched a lot of people trying to get srv tone but my god this is close from one stevie nut to another just amazing and big up peddle pawn getting bigger and bigger well done
I got to see Stevie play a lot in the late 70's and early 80's....a LOT. It was quite clear back then that he didn't want to just sound like his heroes, he wanted to BE like his heroes, and that can be tricky, right? And while he was at it he developed a signature, trademark sound of his own that so many others work to emulate. May it never end......
Hard to believe that’s natural. I’ve played a poly finished Strat hard for 15+ years and it’s nowhere close to the amount of wear
He’s lying. He reliced it because his whole vibe is poser.
yeah lol. when i was a beginner I did a relic on my squire to get that old fender look (it came out alright lol) it would take near 5 minutes of straight rubbing with sand paper to even get through that finish, so there's no way that's natural. (plus lots of 70s fenders don't have that wear)
@@vepex7305 believe me I did the same to look cool on a poly strat. I had to chip it out it’s almost a 1/8-1/4 thick no way you wear that with it’s multiple coat base by “picking”. And poly doesn’t wear it chips so there would be no wear only jagged edged chips. Unless you sand it like you said.
Came here to comment that too, there's not a chance in hell that he played through a poly finish. Plus watching him play he seems to play higher up toward the neck pickup instead of where the "wear" was centralized. Nobody ever wants to own up to relic jobs, every one you see for sale says "reliced by previous owner" The only thing cornier is pretending you played through 1/8" polyurethane in a couple years
@@tc3383 I did the same. He’s better off just owning up to it and moving on.
What a cool guy! He's got that SRV sound down! And dude has some strength obviously as well, just like the man himself
Great playing you have nailed it brother.
The dude is awesome, thanks for sharing this upload.
Absolutely love this guy!!
Rhys do your thang brother!! SRV was a giant and the reason I named two of my boys after the Austin Texas LEGEND! Keep at it youngster!
Stevie Ray & Ray Stevie?😁
Great job keeping SRV music alive
Such a talented guy.
I love the fact that your guitar looks relic because of you playing it.
This guy is incredible, when he's hitting gigs i'll go.
Man he's great! Nice segment...
Awesome stuff y’all
He's loving being SRV.
I hope he listens to more music and discovers his own thing. CZcams is full of SRV TS9 6 string bass guys ( and one girl 😜) think what he could do when he moves on and finds his own music.
AWESOME, cheers!
for anyone curious the SRV Lenny strat is in ATX. At the guitar center on anderson. Its paired with other SRV items that were his. very cool to see.
Definitely a SRV protege with the 13's!! DAYUM!!
Hi. What kind of bridge are you putting on those guitars? Sounds great man!
Incredible! 🤙🤙💕
He is so amazing
Insane Rig, great playing!
Great job Rhys! Ignore the haters on here. They clearly don’t appreciate your story and your abilities. You do you. I for one have watched you develop into an amazing player. Others hate on people because they have ZERO talent and they hate what they’ll never be. Don’t listen to their negative comments because their opinion means absolutely nothing and they clearly know nothing about you! Guitarist’s should support, encourage and inspire other guitarist. Not try to put other guitarist down. And to any of the naysayers, let’s see what you got, post a video of you playing until then STFU! You keep doing whatever it takes Rhys this is just the beginning of your journey. I for one am proud of how far you’ve come already. 🤘🏻
I just saw this video of the young man. There may be some harshness from folks, but I instead lended some advice that may be helpful to the young man. I've been doing this for 30 years. Noone has covered SRV more closely than I except for maybe Tommy Katona, but he's dedicated his life to that. He's got cool guitars, equipmnet, some talent etc., but it's just more healthy to nurture and find your own voice. It's one thing to be influenced, it's another to copy. I've been through all the harsh criticism just as he. Just trying to be helpful. I have videos posted. from way back. Check out Life Without You, Redhouse, Frankenstien/Voodoo Chile etc. All live performances, where it counts. You'll see how I improv, and how I've copied. Brian Johnson Band. Frendly advice with good intentions from an older fella. I don't know it all, but I know this. Before there was ever a youtube. There were guys already doing thing. Some really talented folks. Peace and respect.
Chris Duarte is way better
@@richardface8664 yeah he’s only got 30 years of experience on Rhys. The kid is 14 or 15. And while your comparing let’s see what you got???
Amazing! 🔥
Goddamn incredible playing, especially on those strings. I get why SRV is often replicated. But I think this kid has no doubt got a bright future ahead of him. Amazing foundation of technique and class to be had from SRV. This guy I can see finding a voice and going places!! 🙏✌️😎😎😎
Nice man you are amazing👍🏻
Just what the planet needs.
He's not even 18 yet, and he's already playing like a veteran.
This is an honest question. Is Stevie Ray Vaughan the Elvis of the guitar world? I mean this in the sense that was he so influential that people literally impersonate him from the replica Strats, the gear, the strings, and even the strap. I honestly don't know if there is a more impersonated guitar player. I'm not saying anything against the young man as a player or anything like that. I'm just honestly asking the question because it seems like every day there is someone else popping up that is just absolutely obsessed with Stevie. I totally get it myself as well. When I was this kid's age I was the same way. I ate, slept, and breathed Stevie Ray Vaughan. He's no doubt one of the all time greats and I'm glad his music is still living on.
Srv and Jimi Hendrix
@@frankfett3473 Yeah Jimi was the other one that I thought of but honestly Stevie is probably the reason literally the Custom Shop exists so they can "relic" guitars because so many guys think that the paint on a guitar is somehow connected to why it can so as great as Stevie did. It's true that Jimi is heavily copied but with Stevie I mean they literally mimic every single aspect of everything he does. One of the dumbest things I've ever heard was that Stevie was "overrated". I was like "uh... no... just because there are tons of terrible imitators and wannabes does not mean that HE was overrated". In some ways Stevie is sort of a victim of his own influence in the sense that so many people try and act like all the clones are his equals. They're not. They never will be. They're not even close. That is all. LOL!
Steve was good and flashy but it's not amazing stuff. I depends what kind of music you like to say who is #1. For me it's Brian Setzer. To me he's the best .
Dude I saw Setzer and SRV jam in Memphis Tn. years ago at Mud Island. It was freaking amazing. Setzer is one of my favorite guitarist as well as SRV. They just brought something out of eachothers playing. Wish there was video of that out there somewhere.@@BeeRumblin13
Like his red Strat his friend made for him. That's a beauty.
Thanks! I appreciate it
I know lots of people think he won’t get far if he is just ‘a copy of SRV’, just wait till this guy is 30 years old, developed his own style, ripping on stage
Very talented guitar player, there was only one SRV and will only be One srv. Agree with everyone hopefully he finds his own style. Take the tools and apply them to his own bag of tricks.
EXCELLENT...SRV rules.
Insane this Dude is 15 😎
Very impressive indeed
Me worrying about getting a perfect action on my guitar and this guy has a bridge over his fretboard.
Guy is a total savage 🔥
That action is as high as me right now haha
I play 2mm action as well, tbh I never knew that was considered super high, I thought it was just kinda middle of the road
He needs to find his own thing
Yup…SRV copy cats are a dime a dozen.
Hasn’t this guy only been playing a few years too?? Nuts
that guy nails SRV's sound exactly but man their accents couldn't possible be more different!
Buddy has some paws on him for those thick strings and high action 😱😱😱
Wow the vibroverb is killer
Is he playing through the vibroverb?
What a cool family and in answer to the many comments about finding his own sound he undoubtedly will but everyone has to start out emulating someone.
I think this kid is only 15,,,, Do you see how wore his guitars are! He doesn’t say how long he’s been playing,,, but to put that much wear on a guitar! Little less three guitars,,, that’s dedication!! And his playing shows it! Rock on young brother!!!
Its artificial🤦♂️
What a fantastic video have a wonderful day 😊 ❤
I wish my parents were rich like that
His moms not rich. He has a circle of people that believe in him and want to see him succeed
Jest move here to Texas and complete the journey.
I’ll never complain about my action again
Rhys is awesome glad to see him on here!!
God i love this kid his guitars pedals and amps are pure eye/ear candy very cool that he plays stevies stuff so good but it must be hard fighting those 5 springs and 13 guage strings i know his hands are made for this kind of playing but i just imagine him at 60 picking up one of those guitars after being in the hospital or something and playing it after 2 weeks of not playing and be like thor when lifting his old hammer and going im still worthy
Mom can we have Marcus King and SRV ?
Mom : we have Marcus King and SRV at home
Marcus King and SRV at home : ...
This young man reminds me of Marcus King talented young man seems like he's got a bright future ahead of him
Crazy you at that good with under 5 years of playing and 15 years old. In 10 years you will be one of the Greats.
What's the song in the beginning?
The red strat is just sexy sounding and looking my favorite
Really cool
Cool to see a new generation of emulators keeping Stevie alive
Is this the guy who gets mistaken for Marcus King online?
Na. He's the guy who gets mistaken for the guy who gets mistaken for marcus King.
Probably ,he is goof but Marcus just feels it like no other
@@paulgordon6949 I wasn't comparing, I saw a "short" a few months back, I'm pretty sure it was this guy and people were saying he was Marcus King, I saw Marcus King at Rock City last year and he was remarkable, but there's no need to disrespect this young man, OK, he's no Marcus King.... yet
@@barrygoins5429 I hope you meant "good" and didn't just miss "a" out...lol
I think you mean Myron Elkins.
I love srv as much as any other guitar player but come man. I want to be myself as a person or as a guitar player.
I agree... It's like "I HAVE to play this gauge, this string height, his exact gear, etc..." I want to sound like me and my interpretation of my influences...
How old are you sir?
Go cry about it
Fantastic young Player! He just needs to find his own Voice🎸💯
cool guy!

Damn those strings are huge
Really nice
This kid can play.
when you here him play you hear Stevie speaking through his hands
Rock on stevie
SRV son 👏
Respect for Rhys, hope he carries on playing.
what's the song he played at 2:05 ? Heard it once but couldn't find iy again. Thanks!
couldn't stand the weather! one of my favorite stevie songs for sure
What pickups are those on the Number One? I can't make out what he says.
59 spec made by Oat Soda Sound Co
good for him.
2:17 Cold shot
chuck norris couldnt even wear through a poly finish... i will never believe that Rhys did it naturally. i think he’s amazing, but quit the cap. interested to see his journey though!
dave simpson has had a poly guitar for 20 years and all it’s done is crack and break like glass on the edges. it does not wear away like nitro
Killer guitars
All I wanna know is what pick ups in his standard SRV Strat? I couldn't make out what he said
Oat Soda Sounds 🚀🎸
@@PedalPawn God bless you my friends
The kid is good at Stevie, no doubt. Stevie spent his life listening and learning to all of the greats and formed his own unique sound. I get it, this kid is absolutely obsessed with SRV, but I have a feeling that Stevie would not be too thrilled that this kid is trying to copy him, note for note, dress and style. The only way to be noticed is to be yourself.
hes fighting them heavy strings
6:23 What bridge is that? Those look like PRS saddles.
Mighty mite “toilet bowl” saddles if I remember right
@@larrygreene6522 Thanks…looks like that’s the one, impossible to find tho!
I got them through axetreme creations . They come in and out of stock.
Its cool he sounds like SRV and hes young so 1 day he will think im gonna sound like my self if he can.
6:38 he says it was 1900s made. I’m trying to count how many centuries ago that was. Then I realize, shit I AM 1900s made. Then I cried.
This guy sounds a bit like Srv, don’t know if anybody has noticed , think he’s maybe a bit of a fan , not sure though
