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.
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.
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

uBlock Origin.
Does it work for in-video ads, though?
I thought those were unblockable now…
