I'm saying he's good on the authority that he's a widely acclaimed experimental guitarist, and a veteran of the artform. You are claiming he "sucks" with no real indication other than your extremely ignorant disrespect for experimentation, and blatant close-mindedness.
If you were the chairman of music in the 1920s(a fictional all powerful dictatorial position that I made up for this hypothetical) there would be no blues cause it'd be just 'a bunch of noisey racket with the damn idiots rubbing bottles against their strings. They need to learn how to play.' Because it was exactly the conservative attitude at the time, and it's exactly yours.

But then someone would say, "no, we don't play like that, we'll damage the guitar. This is how to play a G-Chord". And from there we never looked back.

With your attitude, music would have never really been 'discovered'.
This guy is quite talented, but my amazement comes more from seeing what he's doing than hearing it.
