He's quite dry, relaxed, self-deprecating, very honest and has a delivery that reminds me of comedian Steven Wright in his delivery when he's joking. This combination seems to be going over some heads.
Plini's opener deserves an award for his persistence to maintain to connection with the crowd. Most comics would be dying. And he's trying to help them with guitar advice from the goodness of his heart. This man is a true teacher, the COOL/ under appreciated/ most invested teacher.
I’ve been a huge fan of Karnivool since I first heard Themata and Roquefort on Triple J back in 2005... in a roundabout way, thanks to a rabbit hole session on UA-cam where I was searching for Karnivool content, reviews , interviews and reactions etc, I discovered Plini on a Canadian channel who were highlighting Australian progressive metal. Homemade Cities received praise massive from the reviewer and he played snippets of Electric Sunrise. I was all over it in a heartbeat, so damn good right off the bat and from there I purchased Plini’s complete discography. I have been analyzing and breaking down arrangements and music since a preteen (I’m now 46) and I have to say that I rate Plini up there with my greatest musical heroes. He is utterly unique and a genius in creating his own cheat sheet when it comes to drawing heavily from his influences while making it his own. He is an innovator of Sonics and technique and because of him, I actually have faith now that the current generation can evolve music boundaries, which I did not feel was the case 15 years ago. And yes, Sound Awake is an utter masterpiece! I could on about it for hours....😉
Plini is just too gifted in every aspect : technic, taste, feeling, originality, creativity, etc... this guy is not human... that could explain his awkwardness 😂
So cool. A pity the questions can't be heard and are not repeated by Plini. Especially as you want to take the max out of such clinics. But I am greatful for whatever is online, sitting halfway around the world in my studio and getting inspired!
I love the fact that the first question after him going off on an introspective and meaningful reflection is about strings. FIRST QUESTION. Guitarists.
If I can recall right this man actually is architect by first profession? I really feel inspired by this as a natural scientist with love for progressive rock. Especially after having had some 1:1 guitar lessons with a really good guitarist I have only seen the things I will probably never be able to do on the Instrument. But this guy inspires me to just make music the way i want with whatever I can do.
just go for the things which seem impossible at first glance, dont get discouraged, even the pros saw the giants before them and were intimidated at first, but still pushed through and learned the stuff. You will get there, dont limit your own potential for growth!
I’ve always wondered what Plini thought of fellow Australian band Karnivool as they are extremely innovative and progressive, while totally different from his music, just as groundbreaking. He does mention them here at 1:47:16 in reference to the fact they have only recorded 3 albums over the last 15 years and on his words “ruined their chances of ever becoming a big band worldwide” because there has been just far too much time between albums and have not toured internationally enough. He also mentions they haven’t toured the US or UK more than once but that isn’t the case. Even so, I totally agree that they should have had at least 2 more albums in their discography by this stage and such a brilliant band would definitely have been monumentally bigger if the had been more prolific. The members of Karnivool have stated many times that their writing process is extremely slow as they feel that the best form of themselves can’t be rushed. Anyway, I would have loved to hear more from Plini on what he actually thinks of their music...
Very melodic ..He´s Tapping too ..My BIGGEST Guitar Heroes are Jimi Hendrix , Jerry Reed , Eric Clapton , Eddie van Halen , Blackmore etc. But i like what i hear here
i thought he would play stephen taranto's solo section on away.. not to take anything from plini but that solo is crazy to play stephen is a freak of nature..
With respect, GFOH opener - skip to the beginning at 30:26 Pastures is my favorite Plini tune, too bad he doesn't play it live ( probably would require 3 guitar players Live )
i´m 55 and ALWAY´S you hear Plini here , Plini there ...who IS this ? Now i sit here and realize , He´s a Great Guitar Player ... Listen to a song by .. let's say Jerry Reed and then skip to a Plini song .. (both great) Two COMPLETELY different things ..
Been playing guitar for 11 years and I often see that many of the wannabe guitarists miss the basic point of making music, especially playing guitar. Techniques and theories are tools that can guide you towards certain directions. Listening and following others can enrich your ears. But at the end of the day, creativity, finding a purpose that you want to convey through your music. Well, there is no textbook yet on that and probably won't ever be.
Pretty bold statement but each to his own. I’d place probably 3 guitar players as contenders for greatest virtuoso guitar players of all time. Alan Holdsworth, Shawn Lane and Guthrie Govan. I think Guthrie may just edge it for me.
I'll grant plini an edge on overall compositions and songwriting but guthrie is just untouchable in technique and improvisational skill. Though id say they are equal in terms of feel
He mentions another guitarist called Sithu Aye, the split EP is called "I" plini.bandcamp.com/album/i. By the way, the song "Orm" has (in my opinion) the best Plini's motif @ 2:52
I thought at first its not Berklee students who were asking questions but latter realise that all the question esp frm students of berklee are strange.
This is the lamest crowd ever lmao, they weren't trying to connect with Plini at all, which is basically what these clinics are for so you can learn from the artist in a comfortable way.

suppose you could call it a Plinic 🤔
🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha exactly
Get out of here.
Came here looking for this comment. Not disappointed.
"As I get older, which happens on a daily basis"... great line
Why aren't people appreciating his sense of humor?
Malay Hazarika ikr he’s hilarious
Those kids in the audience are at least 10x more awkward than him :-p
Wannabe musicians usually don’t have sense of humour

Karnivool's "Sound Awake" is a milestone in contemporary rock Music. Genius album.

It's always a treat to find out when someone who's immensely talented and accomplished is also just a lovely person too.
Great learning and wonderfull entertainment! Thank you Berklee and Plini
Super Informative Thank you #Plini
🙏🏽 He Shared Almost All His Secrets 🤩Such a beautiful Soul😍
Berklee - thank you for making this video (and others) available to the general public! Much appreciated!
Thanx Berklee, thanx Plini for sharing. ✌🏻🤩👍🏻
Really cool guy! So gifted and down to earth. True inspiration!
this is sooo raw i love it

P L I N I C
He's an awesome soul... we all are.
Its like a yoga session🧘♂️🧘♂️🧘♂️
I like that his shoe is untied. Fits his vibe.
Plini Clinic would be a cool name for a band.
What a frickin' cool dude.
Y'all got any more of those albums?
Finally I found some parts where Plini plays with some improvisations and some mistakes! Now I know that Plini's real human!
Very melodic ..He´s Tapping too ..My BIGGEST Guitar Heroes are Jimi Hendrix , Jerry Reed , Eric Clapton , Eddie van Halen , Blackmore etc.
But i like what i hear here
the most exciting Aussie since Jimmy Barnes, anything is possible
i thought he would play stephen taranto's solo section on away.. not to take anything from plini but that solo is crazy to play stephen is a freak of nature..
I hope one day his punk song vocal covers get leaked lol
omg thank you so much 33:36 the microphone annoying the shit out of me
Love his humor 😂
Thanks to everyone involved. I love you
should have this guys on every delay show
Plini has a vast amount of self distance... Very healthy indeed. ♥️
With respect, GFOH opener - skip to the beginning at 30:26
Pastures is my favorite Plini tune, too bad he doesn't play it live
( probably would require 3 guitar players Live )
i´m 55 and ALWAY´S you hear Plini here , Plini there ...who IS this ?
Now i sit here and realize , He´s a Great Guitar Player ...
Listen to a song by .. let's say Jerry Reed and then skip to a Plini song .. (both great)
Two COMPLETELY different things ..
Is that a Hot Rod Deluxe amp in the back?
Can anyone tell me what kind of PA speaker is in the front?
modern-day rockstars are humble
Nice headstock
the stuff he plays is ... N O P I C N I C
You meant no PLINIC
Bruh is that Liam Garcia’s head in the shot lmao. Mood. CO REPRESENT!!
The master
30:20 This is when the show actually starts. Hope I saved you a bit of time.

Plini is so good he’s changed my views on Guthrie Govan
what do you mean?
Guthrie is much better imo
Pretty bold statement but each to his own.
I’d place probably 3 guitar players as contenders for greatest virtuoso guitar players of all time. Alan Holdsworth, Shawn Lane and Guthrie Govan.
I think Guthrie may just edge it for me.
What a stupid comment man
I'll grant plini an edge on overall compositions and songwriting but guthrie is just untouchable in technique and improvisational skill. Though id say they are equal in terms of feel
Is the EP he mentions around 1:33:00 called "C2I"? - with the Scottish guitar player? Anyone have a link or more info? Thanks!
He mentions another guitarist called Sithu Aye, the split EP is called "I" plini.bandcamp.com/album/i. By the way, the song "Orm" has (in my opinion) the best Plini's motif @ 2:52
Where's my strandberg. :( In my dreams.
Just work on your credit brah. Sweetwater has Strandbergs now and they have super flexible payment options.
@@jimberjamber8540 Any idea if they'll match Guitar Center's sale prices?
Get a Kiesel.
@@diatonicjon thanks, your comment convinced me to change my desire of owning an instrument that I've had for a long time 👍🏻
A lavalier mic would probably have been a good idea!
🔥
Does someone can tell me, what's pedal used by plini in this video?
It looks like the Fractal AX8
As far as I remember, axe fx 2 but now days he mostly uses his own software by neural DSP called archetype : plini
@@ajayrajeshwarkar5850 he still uses the Axe FX live and to record with. The Plug-in is more of a writing tool
the opener is doing fine but oh man I would be dying in that situation
insane
it's Bob Dylan, with chops
Totally, Plini's lyrics are worth a literature Nobel as well!
I thought at first its not Berklee students who were asking questions but latter realise that all the question esp frm students of berklee are strange.
plini is fucking hilarious
30:15
thanks
28.30 Plini walks in. 33.30 opening track.
Please welcome “weenie”........ (subtitles)
Please welcome WEENIE
32:00 Plíni play
Clini Plinic
At least ya didn't say plee knee
video starts 30.25
28:37 plini arrives
Man dude is actually funny lol
why do people always ask about strings? As if if you had that gauge you could play like him!
Bet you you could give him any one of my guitars, and it would sound like him. And vice versa. Always hung up on gear, guitarists.
No, but different gauges have different sounds. Maybe they just want to emulate his tone?
*Plinic**
28:32 Suddenly a wild Plini appears
"People say mean things because....its fun. Does that help?"
30:24
Caption: Please welcome, weenie
that shit git me 😂 2:20:11
33:12 you’re welcome
32:36 . Which song?
Cascade
Plinic
Why does nobody cared about Serj Tankian's guitar clinic at the beginning?
pliniclinic
How the hell is this Berklee and they could only come up with one microphone?
Away solo (played by Stephen Taranto) is a god tier solo that even Plini himself can't pull it off..
i wonder if plini have perfect pitch!
No probably really decent relative pitch though.
@@arkman117 yes
2:01:59 i'll tell you someday?
\ന/
?
lmao 2:15:27
whoever did the 10th dislike is a nerd
kinda ironic that a world class music facility has GARBAGE audio on one of its videos??? Send the "engineers" back to school
what ? 2:24:22
he really had to talk about the riffs he ripped off when no one asked about them lol
Mist R what riffs are ripped off, im actually curious man
The crowd is cringe
This is the lamest crowd ever lmao, they weren't trying to connect with Plini at all, which is basically what these clinics are for so you can learn from the artist in a comfortable way.
the first guy with the bag.....jesus fuking krist............are you surrounded by thiefs ?
1:23:20 "Ringo is not a good drummer... " Is this guy talking seriously?!
He's just saying at the time Ringo was doing basic stuff and Plini himself couldn't even do that. He didn't mean that Ringo is bad. He wouldn't be playing to the Beatles if he thought they sucked.
lmao 2:11:52
