Have people heard of Erik Mongrain? I had not, and nor had I seen a guitar played quite like this (as an Appalachian Dulcimer, essentially) before, but this is apparently an iconic video from the early days of Youtube. As a fan of this kind of thing, it's very good! (www.youtube.com)

This is not exactly the same (Ocean, by John Butler) but it's my go-to acoustic guitar instrumental video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdYJf_ybyVo

It's an almost "spiritual" experience, for me, listening to that.

Edit: Be warned that the absolute pricks at Youtube now put ads in the middle of the video (as they do for almost anything over 5 minutes, now), which rather ruins the whole experience. But if you can find a recording of this track somewhere, I really do recommend it. Hugely.

uBlock Origin.

Or both. Both is good.

Does it work for in-video ads, though?

I thought those were unblockable now…

Nope. I haven't seen a YT ad, or really many ads at all, in years.

Sponsor block handles the in video ads.

You should have uBlock Origin installed irrespective of its efficacy on YouTube ads, but as others have said, it's extremely rare to see ads slip through. (It's amazing for websites like Spotify as well.)

Google has been losing the war against ad blockers badly, to the point that they're going to strip away features from Chromium itself. Unfortunately, that is going to impact other Chromium-based browsers as well: Vivaldi is 100% confirmed, and Brave is likely to fall in line.

uBlock Origin Lite is the current proffered alternative for that scenario, but I imagine it will be extremely inefficient, and using a FireFox fork (Pale Moon, Water Fox, etc.) will be the best route.

C'est une émission du Québec.

That's from some Quebec TV show.

Salut mes frères.

Might be why it didn't get as much traction.

On a side note, it's been a very long time since I last saw Normand Brathwaite in anything. It was a surprise to see him there introducing Erik.
