Usually at the end of Guil's videos he states the browser support of the techniques we just learned - not in this case.

If it's not mentioned, it may be that there is no browser support issues.
http://caniuse.com/#search=nth-child
From that quick search, it appears so.

Caveat: It hasn't been updated recently. So it won't say what's supported in IE 10 & 11. However, it works well in most cases where caniuse doesn't have specific enough data.

There's a few cases where caniuse doesn't give a breakdown of individual support. This is one of them. It's only showing support of css3 selectors as a whole.
I think it's mostly going to be IE8 and below that will cause you problems with :nth-child in particular. Not sure if your question is specifically about :nth-child()
If you check the "resources" tab on the second link Jimmy gave you, you will find a link to "quirksmode" which will have a detailed breakdown of individual selectors. You will also find a link to selectivizr which will bring css3 selector support to IE6-8 provided you are using a supported js library.
