The kid sounds pretty good for his age, but he should work more on his phrasing. Many blues players don't even use picks. I don't see how practicing with picks on a nylon string has any thing to do with the blues. He needs to bend strings and develop a good feel and sound on the instrument. I am teaching a 12 year old right now who is coming along really nicely as well as others. I would be happy to pm you a couple of exercises I do with him and all my other students.

I agree. The kid clearly has skills, and it's obvious he's been practicing hard and done his homework... but he's noodling around quite a bit in that video.
