It's amazing when you see Rick speak and interview these musicians because it's always in depth and you get so much out of it every single time, learning something new
My buddy tried to show me Plini back in middle school like 8 years ago. I hated it at the time and couldn't even follow it. It took a couple of months but I had fallen in love with Selenium Forest and would listen to it to fall asleep. Then Plini released the End of Everything EP and everything absolutely changed. I completely got sucked into his music and this genre. So thank you Plini and everyone in this community for introducing me to the art form.
I found plini through spotify. I fell in love with the djent channel and found david maxim micic first. Weirdly, he is still the most obscure. I found so many artists after that, plini, animals as leaders, periphery, textures, tesseract, vildjharta, andromeda, scale the summit, uneven structure, volumes, MONUMENTS... so many others. The list goes on. Thanks for joining the crowd bois
@@Jopeymessmusic I was referring to his bilo albums, specifically bilo 3. I found those first before destiny potato. And I'm extremely excited to hear the new album under the name sordid pink.
Love the same bands. Also check out The Helix Nebula (Simon and Jake's band), Stephen Taranto (also in The Helix Nebula), Corelia, Haunted Shores (periphery side project), Arch Echo (on tour with these guys)
@@ScottBrunelleMusic I think it's more than that, maybe the timbre chosen too? a lot of reverb (good reverb) and even the occasional change on the snare. To me, listening to Plini is really emotional. But, yeah! Lydian too.
The show last night was awesome. I went there just for Plini, and even had the opportunity to take a picture with the guy. All of them are fantastic musicians.
Sounds like “Band Meeting” on Flight of the Conchords. No, their accents are totally different! They’re like “where’s the car?” And we’re like “where’s the car? Love it!
As a child of the 80s and with a deep seated love for 80s metal, I resonate with the idea that prog is moving toward composition and riffs, not just blazing solos. Not only is this style more accessible to listeners and guitar players, but it allows for the possibility of introducing new genres of music into the prog mix. I really love the current instrumental prog movement and especially Plini’s unique fusion style.
Dude, youtube is incredible. I had never heard of plini 10 minutes ago, and i was watching a video on tim henson, and the top comment was "you should check out plini, even steve vai found him amaising" and the top video underneath is this. What an incredobly refined algorithm.
Nice, I was just thinking about a week ago that we need more Plini content on this channel. Saw these dudes with Periphery in Tampa exactly a week ago. Plini and Periphery murdered it.
20:38 I have a 5150 III 50 watt 6L6 that I was playing just last night! The blue channel is my preferred channel too. The red channel might have too much gain for me.
Love these guys! Got a chance to meet Plini in 2017 after his show in Atlanta. Rick... for the love of god, please share the preset. Pretty please... Hahahaha 🤘🏻🤓🤘🏻
I really really really love the fact that Plini (as a band and as guitar player) is getting so much attention lately. They really deserve it. Have seen 'm live twice, and both were my favorite shows ever. Especialy the show with Periphery, f**king amazing music & performance (love their casual style) edit: the whole plini + periphery tour is awesome. The music, collabs/guest performances,fun, memes.. They even gave Chris a guitar solo in a periphery song during a show.
Genuinely surprised at the popularity this genre's getting now. Also the whole new jazz/neo soul thing. I went to jazz college to be a rock player. Now, kids want to play jazzy stuff. Very interesting. I'm not complaining. I love the little jazz touches in Plini's work. On top of the obvious Vai influence, I can hear Al Di Meola in some passages. (from Kiss my Axe era) More melodically and harmonically pleasing than a lot of stuff out there. (not saying Plini is jazz, I was sorta saying two things at once)
Vapor Trails I'm not into labels much, but yeah. As mentionned above, I was trying to say two things at once which rarely works. 1) Surprised prog-metal-guitar oriented music is exploding right now. Also:2) young people are into jazz. And their are some jazzy elements in Plini's music. But yeah, If I was to put a blanket term on their genre, it would be "prog".
really encouraged by this vid, and seeing that there is a fanbase out their for instrumental music... i've been playing/writing instrumental music for about 20 years now...do you have any recommendations for websites, etc that i could check out for better avenues of gaining access to a larger fanbase?...(playing around town doesn't seem to connect me to people who would enjoy what i do...)...
To me the new guitar goes like this: Chon, Plini, Owane. Then Polyphia, peryphery. I know there is Tosin and Animal as Leaders. But Owane last album, Chon and ultimately Plini are the ice cream of my inner child.
On TH-cam, when they're playing the video with the captions on during like a preview, without clicking on the video yet, it said: Rigby Otto... Which when translated is: Rick Beato 😂
Rick beato is the only TH-camr with his finger truly on where musicians musical interest is. I love this channel. Plini is phenomenal. Great to see great musicians getting some exposure from someone whose now gaining some clout on TH-cam.
Have to agree 100% It's nice to have someone like Rick to answer questions BEFORE we can even ask them of him. And Plini absolutely rocks! Seem like nice guys too.
I think I can answer that question as to why Plini is catching on - they are a nice balance of the guitar shred style, traditional progressive melody and technicality (Genesis, Rush, Kansas) but done with a modern sensibility and the right amount of metal crunch. Hell of a sweet spot, love to listen to it while I work.
Mike N to put genesis and Kansas in the same technical conversation as rush or even an inspiration for plini is pretty laughable, but I agree that he balances shred and melody well. I couldn’t love his note selections anymore
My favorite thing about Plini is that he seems like a song-writer/composer, first, and shredder, second. What I mean is that his music always makes me feel something before it makes me think. That's a remarkable gift, and I'm glad that Rick's initial video about Electric Sunrise brought Plini to my attention. I also appreciate how self-deprecating and unassuming the whole Plini gang is. They seem like good guys!
It’s how I learned of Plini, probably (aside from What Makes this.. series and the music theory) the biggest contribution from Rick to me personally. It’s how much I dig Plini’s music.
13:12 this man of leisure got his degree in architecture while recording his first few releases and building the Plini name/brand at the same time. God damn Aussie's...
That dude is like two years older than me and makes me feel so bad about myself for having stopped practicing guitar during my first 2 or 3 years of college
Isn't Mayer a reformed dickhead? I remember seeing an interview where he basically pointed out the ways in which he used to suck as a person. Props to anyone with introspection, i could only imagine how difficult it would be to be John Mayer, and care enough to not be lame anymore.
I've watched Rick for a while now, during live streams and the talks with Rhett and Dave you can tell he is happy with what he's doing, but in this video you can really see the joy and passion he has for the whole craft. In most of the videos he seems like an educator, but here he looks like a kid at Christmas, and you can see what has driven him to do all this. So nice to see.
He also seemed so interested about using Plini's tone asking questions about the usability of it, like wondering if using the stomp would turn off the chorus and stuff. I totally picture him spending hours playing with it after they leave. Wonderful.
What a nice interview, real people with real conversations. The world has become so fashioned and plastic, this is the opposite. Me like! And the long stereo reverb setting in the end was really stunning. Greetings from Norway
Next to Jeff Beck, my favorite guitarist and concert. Saw both last year up close and personal in SLC, UTAH. Both were changing experiences. Grateful for you showcasing these guys, Rick!
They arranged the seats to match the growth of their beards.
almost, ginger beard should sit to the far right then
dd 0506 that made me spit out my drink! Hahahaha! So observant!
It's like a beard VU meter.
Robert Simpson So 10db would be 10 dankbeards?
eheheh
Plini always looks like he just woke up.
It's a lot of work to look like that all the time.
I know the feeling. 🙃
@@CarcPazu Nice Guitar Hero reference. xD
He is in Australia time

Sounds like a great friend
I'm seeing them tomorrow night with my daughter - we're stoked! I discovered these guys from your channel, Rick!
Truly lovely conversation. This captures why I like Australians, Rick's channel and and Plini, in no particular order.
The guitar pro theme yesssss hahahahah 28:29
I always delete that intro wav file from program files :D
I hoped it was the old 5.2 intro hehehe but this was nice too!

I'd like to add Hedras Ramos' last album "The Impressionist" to this list!
I mean DMM's band is called destiny potato, it's not an easy thing to remember!
@@Jopeymessmusic I was referring to his bilo albums, specifically bilo 3. I found those first before destiny potato. And I'm extremely excited to hear the new album under the name sordid pink.
Blair Churchill me too. Spotify also told me he was playing in my town two weeks later so I went to the gig. Just awesome!
Love the same bands. Also check out The Helix Nebula (Simon and Jake's band), Stephen Taranto (also in The Helix Nebula), Corelia, Haunted Shores (periphery side project), Arch Echo (on tour with these guys)
I don't understand why Plini's music sounds so hopeful to me. I'm so happy to see them today in Charlotte. And as usual, thank you Rick.
a lot of it is lydian, chords that feel like they're always leading upward and not resolving!
@@ScottBrunelleMusic I think it's more than that, maybe the timbre chosen too? a lot of reverb (good reverb) and even the occasional change on the snare. To me, listening to Plini is really emotional. But, yeah! Lydian too.
@@8varium5 I don't disagree! :)
Aside from the lydian effect it is also as what simon said in the interview.. Plini's guitar playing has this sense sounding vocally..
The show last night was awesome. I went there just for Plini, and even had the opportunity to take a picture with the guy. All of them are fantastic musicians.
This format needs to happen more. Awesome, Rick.

Shouts to the boys from here in Perth. I love the humble talented group they are. So cool.
Saw Plini on the 8th at House of Blues in Dallas,TX with Periphery. Great show, Plini was very good.
That's a wicked little lick at the end Rick

God I love Plini and co. They were actually mixed better live than Periphery, I was kind of shocked
Nice, I was just thinking about a week ago that we need more Plini
content on this channel. Saw these dudes with Periphery in Tampa exactly
a week ago. Plini and Periphery murdered it.
It’s him
Juan Pardo the newest guitar virtuoso on the prog scene
20:38 I have a 5150 III 50 watt 6L6 that I was playing just last night! The blue channel is my preferred channel too. The red channel might have too much gain for me.
What an amazing show that was too. Plini killed it, Arch Echo killed it and of course periphery murdered the show as well
I would kill for that preset. Sounds GREAT!
Very pleasant, new here to Plini, but this reinforces all the good vibey things I feel about them.
Love these guys! Got a chance to meet Plini in 2017 after his show in Atlanta.

Saw Plini in Detroit a few years ago.m with Nick Johnston. They were fantastic for anyone who hasn’t seen them.
With David Maxim Micic too, right? Great tour. They were doing masterclasses that tour as well and they were all incredibly wonderful dudes.

Thanks for this Rick, from Buenos Aires.
Great interview video...👍😃 Would love to see more.
omg no fucking way plini
i love plini so much damn man
Awww 28:28 made me laugh so hard xD Good one. I use that every day hahaha
literally just saw them tonight in Charlotte, NC. They were great!
Why does Plini always look dazed and sleepy at the same time all the time hahaha
Hey everyone, I'm Rigby Otto! Welcome back to another episode.
Really very instructive and entertaining. Love Plini.
Simon Grove is a badass. Behind so much amazing music.
It's him!
Top shared video of 2020 already, for me!

Great Interview!
Hi, could you please upload this axe FX preset?
seein' em sunday, stokedddd
Hey Rick awesome interview. Have you considered doing Shawn Lane on what makes this song great? His stuff is amazing too. Cheers.
What is the drum program that Plini is using now? I couldn't get the name right.
Great interview. Thanks for the video, Rick! Keep up the good work!
Plini plug-in is the best guitar plugin yet.... And yes I have plenty of them!
deluxe mind guy= deluxe memory boy
Mind blowing 🔥🔥🔥
Come on Rick! I know you were just as thristy for Axe FX Plini preset - now that you have one, SHARE IT PLEASE!!!!
😂😂 his dad said listen to jazz instead of teaching him.
To me the new guitar goes like this: Chon, Plini, Owane. Then Polyphia, peryphery. I know there is Tosin and Animal as Leaders. But Owane last album, Chon and ultimately Plini are the ice cream of my inner child.
"Mind Guy"........hmmmmmmm, my guess would be "MemoryMan". Check out some Cloudkicker for great instrumentals along the lines of Plini.
A guy like Gianluca Ferro gets a little swept under the rug here. Definitely worth checking out!
On TH-cam, when they're playing the video with the captions on during like a preview, without clicking on the video yet,
it said: Rigby Otto...
Which when translated is: Rick Beato
😂
If you are into this guy, you should check out David Maxim Micic.
Can you do a video on Midi controllers? I want to start recording music and it seems like everyone is using them.
Amazing!
Rick asked the other guys about school but interestingly Plini has a degree in architecture
Does anyone else get the WAVES OVOX ad beforehand with the dork in the hat and stupid flower jacket?
Mix with ambiance tone
Fantastic, thanks Rick!! What software are they using on your Mac? I’m new to digital recording so would love to know! Thanks, Julian
Julian Simpson looks like they were just using Logic Pro X & editing sounds with the fractal edit window
"The ripping's in the hands" - Plini.
Beato: how do you get your guitar tone? Plini: delay, delay, delay.
Thanks for having us Rick! Had a great time and can't wait to come and hang again!
Anytime Jake! You guys sounded killer last night!
Awesome video! What is the foot pedal/switch that you mentioned?
Aaron Short Music fc6 or fc12 by Fractal
