Is an aside, it's interesting how the music market has changed. I watched an interview with JM a couple of years ago in which he talked about having his own record label noting that if he didn't, he would not have a recording deal at all. Few to no labels are interested in his music at this point, despite his statue in the music community. JM indicated he is happy to even make a few hundred bucks profit on his releases but that it is not much more than that. Most people listen to music on services like Spotify these days, where musicians get at best tiny fractions of a penny per play- if they actually get anything at all as the services (like record labels before them) are famous for not paying royalties that they're supposed to. And of course, anything that is released is ripped from the physical media by someone and posted to YouTube as well, such as JM's instructional video. JM did not post this to Youtube, so he is not going to get any revenue from it even if the person who posted it (called "hearing victim") does.

But people still go to concerts to admire the guitar master.

I have his instructional set of DVDs. They're very good, although don't expect too much in the way of explanation - evidently, John teaches by way of demonstration rather than telling you what to do, you'd have to study the music that appears on screen and so on.

YouTube scans everything and if it's copyrighted and in their database, the revenue goes to whoever has the license. So that's how you have people uploading albums to YouTube. They can upload it, but any revenue goes to ASCAP or whatever.
