Yes, I won't even click his vids anymore. We talked about this one years ago. Gilbert's rare "cringe" video, however, the rest of the instructional video that this is found on is excellent for electric guitar techniques.

While his button pushing cringe humor hits me wrong every time, I will give him the reverb tail thing making fun of his own playing. But I am really sick of him saying that he used to be a "shredder", when he clearly was not, and as a classical player he is extremely low level. Fishing for likes and views to what end? It is only about advert revenue which is not real money.

This encapsulates my thoughts about why his channel is tedious at best.

when gilbert says...Im gonna play "flamingo" is that a joke? or just ignorance?
He says it himself at the beginning of the video that he named it flamingo because of his inability to play flamenco. So the name is obviously not to insult or lack of knowledge that the term is flamenco not flamingo, so basically yeah more like a joke
