“When I saw Plini play, I felt that the future of exceptional guitar playing was secure, ” - Steve Vai

The last message I ever got from my best friend that was killed was him asking me what the name of this song was. Showed it to him a few nights before when we were chillin and he loved it. Can't begin to express the value this song carries every time I listen to it. Just... thank you.

[higler.]

40 seconds in and I'm already convinced that everything is ok in the world.

[gayledurham]

This was my sons favorite band. He took his own life 7 months ago. When I hear this I see him playing.

A lot of people brought to this because of Rick Beato. Those bands who block Rick from using their music as examples are quite foolish.

If your architectural skills are as good as your music writing skills... I can't wait to see you build a new world.

[Gitfiddle]

Wow very original stuff. Very mature playing. He’s not showing off. It’s all for the song. Really awesome.

[MrMikkyn]

This music is incredibly uplifting. There's just something beautifully optimistic about every note played, the happiness emitted in the guitar.

Its like sitting by the beach, and seeing the world sleep at night. Its like standing in the middle of a busy road while everyone is going to work. The droney nature of the chords and arpeggios are like a stillness and everything around is this organised chaos infused with the being at peace with the suffering of the world. It has a sort of tranquility about everything, the jazzy guitar solo is like self-discovery and being able to find happiness when the world has become quiet from all the noise.

Its like pushing past all the racing thoughts and reaching the finish line.

Just saw Plini with Nick Johnston and David Maxim in Houston literally HOURS before Hurricane Harvey hit...they were the only bands that didn't cancel in the city that night. Around 75-80 people still showed up, maybe more, and it was the most amazing show. They were sooo freaking cool, nice & genuine people, stayed to talk with anyone who wanted to meet them or discuss their music. Oh and they sounded incredible, easily one of the best experiences I've ever had seeing live music, their music makes you feel so GOOD inside. Bunch of classy dudes is what they are to be there for their fans and risk the wrath of what turned out to be the biggest storm in US history.

These tones, they heal the soul. You feel it, and you can't deny it.

[rockjaw]

Saw them in concert in Atlanta and their first words were, 'Are you ready to get happy?' and I was so confused but then they played this and I felt fantastic. Love these guys!

[robertmueller]

It’s like Petrucci, Metheny and Satriani had a kid together.
Masterful....freaking awesome.♥️

[davidbusby]

Rick beato brought me here. I can totally see why Steve Vai would enjoy this. It's very reminiscent of his style of playing. This is pretty darn Spectacular music.

The guy who sold me my speakers had no idea who Plini was. Now he's using this track as a seller.
