GuitarHeroStyles, also known as AdvyStyles or Advy, is a Spanish Geometry Dash player recognized for completing numerous Extreme Demon levels. GuitarHeroStyles has conquered challenges such as Yatagarasu, Sonic Wave, and Bloodlust, the latter completed in June 2023. GuitarHeroStyles contributed to collaborations like The Ultimate Phase and verified community-renowned levels such as PanaSonic and ElectroLux.
In October 2021, GuitarHeroStyles faced widespread backlash following allegations of misconduct within the Geometry Dash community. On the 24th of October, 2021, members of the Demonlist team publicly shared accusations of inappropriate behavior, including claims of emotional and sexual abuse from a former partner. A social media campaign under the hashtag #advyout trended globally, leading to severed partnerships with brands like elgato and Teespring.
GuitarHeroStyles denied the allegations but lost in-game moderator status on the 24th of October, 2021, and was permanently removed from the Demonlist two days later. Twitch banned GuitarHeroStyles’ channel on the 20th of April, 2022, though the YouTube channel remained active with slowed growth.
Career
Geometry Dash
Early Career (2011–2015)
GuitarHeroStyles joined YouTube on the 9th of October, 2011, initially creating content for Guitar Hero, including participation in DreamHack tournaments from 2015 to 2023. On the 17th of March, 2014, GuitarHeroStyles uploaded the first Geometry Dash-related video, showcasing a completion of the main level Theory of Everything. Over the following year, GuitarHeroStyles transitioned to user-created levels, establishing a format of practicing levels in demonstration mode before completing them in normal gameplay.
Breakthrough & Extreme Demons (2016–2017)
In July 2015, GuitarHeroStyles announced efforts to conquer 8o, an Extreme Demon that took eight months to master. After a devastating 98% fail, GuitarHeroStyles finally completed the level on the 12th of March, 2016. Throughout 2016, GuitarHeroStyles dominated iconic challenges, including both versions of Cataclysm, Bloodbath (becoming the 19th victor), The Ultimate Phase, and the collaborative Duelo Maestro with SoulsTRK.
The release of Geometry Dash 2.1 in 2017 marked a prolific era. On the 19th of October, 2017, GuitarHeroStyles completed Blade of Justice after over 17,500 attempts and two fails at 91% and 94%, declaring it “Mi mayor logro” (my greatest achievement). Later that year, on the 15th of November, GuitarHeroStyles became the second Geometry Dash YouTuber to reach 1 million subscribers, following RobTopGames.
Expansion & Milestones (2018–2019)
GuitarHeroStyles verified collaborative projects like Pumped Up Kicks (2018) and PanaSonic (2019), while previewing its sequel, ElectroLux. On the 17th of January, 2019, GuitarHeroStyles completed Phobos after over 7,300 attempts, fluking the final 23% after two years of practice. A 91% fail on God Eater (later renamed Astral Divinity) on the 26th of April, 2019 became one of the most infamous moments in Geometry Dash history.
Moderator Era & Top 1 Triumphs (2020–2021)
Appointed as a Geometry Dash in-game moderator on the 5th of March, 2020, GuitarHeroStyles verified ElectroLux on the 13th of February, 2020, after near-completion fails at 93% and 97%. On the 31st of July, 2020, GuitarHeroStyles completed Yatagarasu (15,318 attempts), moving up 32 spots on the Demonlist. The following year, on the 30th of August, 2021, GuitarHeroStyles triumphed over Sonic Wave (13,630 attempts), enduring three deaths above 90% (92%, 93%, 95%).
Recent Achievements (2022–2024)
GuitarHeroStyles completed Bloodlust on the 4th of June, 2023, solidifying it as the current hardest Demon. Subscriber milestones continued with 2 million on the 25th of September, 2020, and 4 million on the 7th of December, 2024. GuitarHeroStyles also completed the “Apocalyptic Trilogy” (Aftermath, Cataclysm, Bloodbath) and set records like the fastest completion of Gunslinga Corridor (922 attempts).
Conflictious Relationships
- On the 8th of November, 2021, the description of the level Slaughterhouse was temporarily altered to link to a Twitter thread criticizing GuitarHeroStyles. This occurred shortly after GuitarHeroStyles uploaded a showcase of the level. IcEDCave, the creator of Slaughterhouse, privately requested the video’s removal and GuitarHeroStyles’ departure from the community. GuitarHeroStyles blocked IcEDCave on YouTube and email in response.
- On the 16th of November, 2023, GuitarHeroStyles issued a copyright strike against Zoink’s YouTube stream due to unauthorized use of GuitarHeroStyles’ likeness in the thumbnail. The action drew community criticism, with Zoink publicly mocking the dispute.
Guitar Hero
GuitarHeroStyles expanded beyond Geometry Dash with secondary YouTube channels. On the 11th of March, 2016, GuitarHeroStyles launched GuitarGames, dedicated to gameplay from titles like Minecraft and Fortnite. A third channel, GuitarGameplays, followed in 2019, featuring non-commentary playthroughs of indie and AAA games. In 2022, GuitarHeroStyles introduced GuitarShorts, compiling highlights from livestreams.
GuitarHeroStyles maintained ties to Guitar Hero, competing annually at DreamHack tournaments from 2015 to 2023.
