He loves Malmsteen and Van Halen and a few of the Blues guitarists but  I thougt (sneaky old me) this might be a very good way of introducing him to the world of prog at a young, tender & impressionable age ...

John Macloughlin in Mahavisnu Orchestra, Steve Hackett in Genesis, Steve Howe in Yes, Robert Fripp of King Crimson, Alex Lifeson of Rush.

For a learner Dave Gilmour and Syd Barret of Pink Floyd are easier and and a better place to start, these other guys above a real experts.
