By "young guitarist", we mean "young straight-ahead jazz guitarist", I presume?

And of course Pasquale who might not be doing anything new for piano, but when it comes to guitar…..

Here in the colonies we take a more hard-nosed approach: pay as you go, and devil take the hind-most, every man for himself. Zappa made a number of public statements on that subject, as I recall, and expressed his thoughts much better than I do.
Just some idle musings...

Mixed feelings about the social mediafication of music - its an easy platform to get out on, but then you get the clickbait game. Its hard, particularly if you dont pay for youtube red, to actually listen to music on the platform without getting distracted by something else
does no one out out albums anymore? I get that streaming pays s###, but would love some solo recordings from Tim Lerch or Martin Taylor (or Chad LB), but get that there is no money in it.
also wonder the extent to which a few ‘superstar’ youtube teachers are eroding the market for private lessons

Even more interesting for me, is that he composed that piece. I literally dream of playing in that kind of ensemble: prog jazz, hehe. I just don't have enough time to keep abreast of everything. Now, someone was asking about the new Methenys of this world?
PS check out Sandra Hempel for "own voice" originality, too.

IMHO Music is timeless, I still enjoying the classics.
This reminds me, when some criticize that we play standards, "It's old music they say, why don't you play original compositions?" as if I was going to compose better than Van Heusen.
On the other hand, music played by humans, let's say, is in deep crisis. It's difficult that in these moments of "snack culture" guys like Joe Pass or Jim Hall can appear.
I am a professor of social communication at higher levels (highscool and University) and I see a high percentage of disinterest in what refers to this generation, for the music played and above all, made by human beings. That is, with regard to feelings and not the lucrative component of it.

Schubert had similar sentiments, after Beethoven.
