He says in the comments that he's not trying to be impressive, and that it's just a "novelty talent".

If he appreciates that stuff for what it is then that's totally fine. My original rant was directed at that whole Youtube shred-culture rather than anyone in particular.

Still, I think that youtube is the worst thing to happen to guitar since Kurt Cobain.

Agreed 100%. It's a pity, as it could become a great resource for musicians if you didn't have to wade through so many bedroom-shred videos to find the good stuff.

talent!!!

McLaughlin's incredible. He's always been hugely inspiring to me since my early teenage years. His picking always sounds totally effortless as well; that sort of flow and grace is something that a lot of guys seem to sacrifice in the pursuit of speed.
