But overall if they have useful information and you manage to learn something from them then thats cool to me. I came across a channel recently from a guy who must have a really bitch'in job cause homeboy has some amazing ass high dollar gear but man... he literally can barely play. It's hard listening to a guy reviewing some high end gear while he is struggling to play basic beginner level type riffs. But he has subscribers so if he can do it, anybody with a good job and gear can do it I guess
I think I have an idea of who you are talking about as well.
I will say there have been several channels like that where its motivated me to be a better player over worrying about the next best piece of gear. My guitar teacher absolutely shreds and I think he is basically using an old valvestate combo. There are other people who are putting out pretty killer vids with gear that most of us turn our nose up at. I think there was this one girl playing covers of Anthrax, Mastodon, and a few other bands with a peavey bandit and sounds killer.
