As you can see there is an error in this sentence: it must read good advice and not good advise.
Advice is a noun and advise is a verb and you clearly have to use the noun before the adjective good. (good advice)

Hello Frank,
Generally speaking, it would be a grammatical error to say "some very good advices". The plural form of the word "advice" does exist, but it has an extremely limited and very specialized use. So, as a rule, you should always use the singular, uncountable form of that word.
These are all CORRECT:
- some very good advice
- a lot of very good advice
- two very good pieces of advice

| There are no limits but it’s better to say advice when it’s about an idea. |
