Simons right hand is the little man I always imagined running beside the car when I was a kid

[MattMcloughlin]

4:10, holy mother of god, that switch up and triplet run is so damn tight

[magusking]

All the Dudes playing on this track brought their damn A game !!!
It's awesome being able to hear the Bass Tapping part at the forefront

When I first saw you live, it was during the Plintervals tour.
A lot of people didn't have a clue of who you were, I was one of these persons. I knew you were good (cause the tracks you played required to be good) but there was this one single moment, lasted 1 second, everybody stopped playing, you did a explosive slap riff, the full room stopped doing noises, we all looked at each others like "did this really happen ?"
So now, I know who you are haha :D.

I came to see the bass and stayed to hear that asstight playing.

[wuzup]

if the victor wooten style finger playing isn't badass enough you throw in those harmonics at 4:35.. i heard it and had to to see if it was a mistake.. then i realized its on purpose and gives you that additional octave without having to move your left hand past the 7th/10th fret..masterclass playing!

[Sbrussaard]

That little extra lick at 3:32 👌👌👌 Had to be on the album version too lol 😛 Amazing playing

[DanielGarcia-uqvu]

Bro that hand work at 4:12 gave me goosebumps. Reminds me of one of the first shows I went to where someone did something similar to that and the speakers blew me away. I was in shock. This threw me back.

This is one of those songs that gets better and better.

[IrontMesdent]

I really love the way you mixed the track. The way the bass impacts the track is way more obvious here, but I think I'd say that I prefer this mix to the original.

[ohmycosh]

So clean man, your tone is so tight too. Best part is you're also this clean live, which was amazing to see. Keep inspiring me man!

[MirkoFustinoni]

Troy and him are genuinely one of the most tight and groovy rhythm sections I've ever witnessed. They almost stole the show when I saw Plini live.

[Imhalfamazing]

The best thing about your playing is that it sounds like no one else. Plini had taken instrumental and progressive music someone new. Love it.

[Musicmansam]

A flawless technical masterclass Simon.
More please!!! :) Your bass playing is stupendously marvelous.

[RohanPradhan]

Just got back from their show and I immediately watch this as I reach home...clearly once isn't enough...

[ubernoob]

You sir, are an incredible bass player.

[nathanielbg]

"BASS PLAYER!"

Madness of many tour, terminal West, Atlanta Georgia, best concert of my life.

[neilfernandes]

Oh Goodness Lord!
How di...but you... I couldn't eve... And you also... (sigh).

I can practice a million years and yet only aspire to reach this level.
So clean, it makes me want to cry.

You, my friend, are exceptional!
God bless you, Simon.

Does anyone else transcend to a higher dimension between 5:11 and 5:30, every time? Just me?

[Pughhead]

Every time I come back to this video I am impressed by your technique. The seamless transitions from slap, to finger picking to tapping and back again is just awesome to watch.
