Plini Interview

[@leocubiasmusiclifestyle7460]

Seriously Sweetwater you’re killing it with your interview lately

[@sweetwater]

🤘

[@abuventertainment2856]

I agree. This guy is a great interviewer and host. Very professional and composed, asking great questions and leading the conversation well in a casual manner. Great interview.

[@ChippsChippendale]

Yes, really great to hear an interested, involved and knowledgeable interviewer.

[@TonyNguyenFR]

This guy is the best guitarist interviewer I've ever heard. Asking really good questions and directing the conversation.

[@arkman117]

Really appreciate plini, he's so down to earth and honest. I really like that his writing isnt just to be super difficult, or technically profiecient, but more focused on the actual musical aspect, so many people get so hung up on trying to get people to praise them for how difficult their stuff sounds. Plini understands that it's about whether or not the music does something for you other than representing the next challenging piece that other players cant play.

[@kunalkhaladkar2838]

Well said man!

[@anticarnistvegan]

Melody isn't for everyone

[@AndreSonsOfSamael]

One of the best interviews I've ever seen

[@sweetwater]

😎👊

[@fantasticnisopta]

Me too.

[@NDEEZMiata]

“How many Strandbergs do you think we’ll sell?” “Plini” I’ll show myself out

[@torjones-7]

[@NDEEZMiata]

rodkings 😂 hey son how was school

[@MickZarco]

Oh god.

[@iguessillsuffer]

Dad joke level expert.

[@stuartmercer3096]

[@KadeKalka]

One of the best at interviews, dude always knows what he's talking about and isn't throwing generic questions out. Great job guys!

[@karthiksathian2931]

Every question was perfect. Well done Mitch! Great interview.

[@sweetwater]

👍

[@mickenilsson]

First time I've seen an interview with questions that actually makes sense... These interviews has been stellar lately Sweetwater... Good work guys 🙏✌️😊

[@sweetwater]

Thanks, Mikael! 🙌

[@joethefoeyo]

A year or two back I had missed out on plini tickets but still went to his guitar clinic (free btw) anyway long story short he ended up put me on his guest list plus 1 so I could go to the show. I’ll forever be grateful!!!!

[@PatSporrerMusic77]

That's awesome! He seems like such a nice and humble guy despite the fact that he's such a phenomenal musician

[@iliatilev]

Mitch you always do great interviews.. Plini is awesome!

[@ZackSeifMusic]

Mitch is a phenomenal interviewer. His wording, approach, and knowledge of the interviewee is always top notch.

[@ThomsenTower]

Mitch Gallagher, master interviewer! Some interviwees are fun, others less so, but Mitch always works hard to get the most of them. Thanks and congrats!!

[@sweetwater]

Thanks for watching!

[@gandalf8216]

To me, Plini redefined the meaning of the old saying that "the guitar sings". Because Plini sings non-verbally and yet lyrically with his phrasing, choices regarding harmonies and how he weaves it all together with the rhythms and shifting subtly shifting tempos. He also sticks to his tone, and got me into jazz. Many have tried before, many, many times, to get me into jazz - but Plini taught me what to listen for - and not just for jazz, but a a whole new world of music. I owe him so much for it. Thank, Plini. For everything.

[@mertgunes9854]

I opened the video thinking I'll skip through it, but found myself watching every second, great interview

[@sweetwater]

👍

[@chrisnurse6430]

PLINI is an amazing ambassador for Australian music and a fantastic role model for young musicians- great interview

[@batflash]

Mitch, your approach on this interview was spot on. From gear, to playing style and practice, to recording and writing technique, touring, and alllll of the details in between. Great job, man. Thank you for such a great interview.

[@DiegoPujolT]

What a great interview. I met Plini one time, and not only is he a great musician but the coolest guy as well.

[@Phitsik23]

i feel so calm listening to plini talk. I feel like if i hung out with him i'd just be relaxed all the time

[@2gigahijau]

Plini is great and the interviewer is asking many profound question with great pace. Gladly we got so much great information from the musician

[@NavneetKash]

Plini inspired me to get my Strandberg prog last year (didnot go for his signature cause I wanted my tone knob). That guitar is a Gem.

[@ivansandoval777]

does it have ebony fretboard?

[@fabianvanderelst9643]

Yeah, I always loved the Plini model, but now that I know it doesn't have a tone knob, it's less interesting. But I'd buy a Sälen Deluxe VB anyways, if ever I'd buy a Strandberg, which I'd love!

[@lflobo]

Plini is so humble for such a great creator/musician. Great interview!

[@krisrudecki9477]

The interviewer is great, really allows for the information to take the centre stage. Hats off

[@Empyrean55]

I must say Mitch is a fantastic interviewer!

[@JohnnyBargeldBoom]

Best Interviewer on KZbin. Amazing. Thanks for sharing!

[@sweetwater]

😎👍

[@jericosha2842]

What a respectful and meaningful interview. Bad ass dude

[@dawsonjohannes613]

Man, Plini is such a great dude. Awesome interview, too-- I really liked all of the types of questions asked.

[@outermarker5801]

dude has the chillest chill

[@Rishavb47]

*Plinterview

[@frenchiesfrankieandhenry]

Plini has really great live gigs. I highly recommend seeing them live.

[@ianrockefeller3182]

Been listening to plini since he went by halcyon. Dude is a freaking legend.

[@guitartube5822]

As fast as I’ve ever clicked on a video... Edit: And now that I watched it, great interview. Hit on so many of the things I like about Plini in regards to musicality over flash, over technique, but having good technique to make better music. Well done. Only downside is it could’ve been like ten times longer! Haha

[@ooferrell]

You know some people don't like it when really good guitar players don't really have too much explanation of how they were brought up in guitar or how they play guitar, but I find it awesome when people do that because it just to let you know they are regular people just like you and me. Plenty is definitely one of the examples of this and the fact that he brings up that how you can hear his parents washing dishes in the background if it's old stuff is just pure golden to me.

[@stixnfeet7818]

16:30-17...Damn, he says this even after so much success and jamming with some of the worlds greats. Humility. Respect.

[@santiagoruiz2289]

Counting the days for the show in New Zealand! ❤️

[@BURGRKNG]

So excited bro!!! Gonna see him in Christchurch, also really fizzed for Nick Johnston and Heavy Metal Ninjas

[@santiagoruiz2289]

BURGRKNG yes!! It’s going to be incredible :D I’m in Wellington tho, have a blast in Christchurch lml,

[@SimonMooreChannel]

Plini is definitely someone every modern guitarist could learn something from. Just an all around awesome musician with already a great library of songs and hopefully more to come. Great interview!

[@post-man23]

Plini, the living legend!!

[@ZtpaRokhum]

My Idol - Plini❤

[@anti_gravity8446]

Saw Plini last April. A really amazing player and composer. Love all his works.

[@geebztv]

I like his breakdown of young talent these days - ripping/shredding yet space is a challenge. Much like golf - most want to hit the distance and spend most time practicing that and forget to spend same amount of time on the putting green :)

[@oddcreature8953]

Plini, Mitch Gallagher and Sweetwater doing great things for music...

[@georgerudinsky489]

Very pleasant, informative, professional interview, love Plini. Thanks.

[@psychofunksoldier02]

Great interview! I really like Plini’s compositions and the chords he uses that add a little tasteful dissonance. Really great musician!

[@TheYellowWoodRoad]

Aww! that smile in the end!!

[@DanielVerberne]

Sweetwater, Mitch is a wonderful interviewer and a real asset, keep him.

[@coreyclark6505]

Plini is so ridiculously good. Saw him in Detroit a few tours ago.

[@Stomp_It]

Plini = Magnificent !!!

[@fabianvanderelst9643]

Huge thanks to Sweetwater that you guys are interviewing Plini btw! Love it!

[@LarsBauer74]

awesome interview! I love Plini, and Mitch always does great interviews, and has very interesting questions!

[@NoHuelasAchoto]

A great contribution of fresh breeze to the music scene. Thanks for your music Plini.

[@ryantaylor1522]

Rim light on Mitch Gallaher's hair: normal Rim light on Plini's hair: nuclear explosion

[@dafi723]

Plini is a genius! But why does he look like a french sailor?

[@fabianvanderelst9643]

That exactly describes how he looks indeed, but to me personally it has a nice flair to it. :) Also, one of his songs is called flâneur haha. Real French chillness :p

[@jt6980]

Not sure how I missed this. Great interview.

[@joanmoss7040]

Mitch - really outstanding interview!

[@RavencoreLZR]

Great questions Mitch. Top drawer interview.

[@awogbob]

LOVING THESE interviews! Keep it up

[@MoonWalkerTexsRanger]

What a great interview!

[@lukerobertson1000]

Such a great interview!! Thank you

[@armfourteen]

Such a great interview. Plini being great as usual

[@sonatedaquiTFM]

really interesting interview. good questions and good answers. plini is really a nice guy

[@romulloqueiroz]

This interviewer really knows how to ask the right questions.

[@doczona2784]

Mitch Gallagher is a straight BOSS

[@caseylockwood5512]

0:37 where can I buy that .Strandberg lamp? Oh wait...

[@robsheppard5353]

Great interview!

[@chhau123]

I've been waiting something like this for too long!!

[@fabianvanderelst9643]

Most soothing accent in the history of English accents ever! I've heard Scottish and New-Zealandish, but this is the most soothing imo :p

[@ianparker5007]

What a spectacular interviewer. Damn

[@Chaosdude341]

Only complaint is that I wish is that it was longer!

[@AndrewSFX]

Great interview! Love this man, he's so humble!

[@aadityakiran_s]

Subtle jokes. The sublime art of giving an interview by Plini.

[@dylanedwards2056]

I love this interview so much

[@taxsupport2422]

I bought a strandberg boden 7 with tremolo and it is great... I did have to mess around with the bridge/saddles for intonation... but it sounds great... and the fretboard feels like a surface, if you get my meaning... like you are playing a classical instrument. Why doesn't Plini just say "Simon"? ...he says "my bass player".... was there a bet in there somewhere? Simon plays strandberg too!

[@palidiciovermingagurainia1760]

I think the parents washing dishes and birds chirping could only add to the artistry as zen moments

[@KelPandaDaStreet]

That was a great interview, great questions!!

[@sweetwater]

Thanks for checking it out! 👍

[@joel.perler]

Very good interview with very interesting questions!

[@Kamy.GG.Official]

*Very proggy interview*

[@ianboltron]

Mitch, you do a killer job!

[@sweetwater]

👍

[@stuartmercer3096]

I love this interview. I "play" and LOVE this Strandberg Plini and I Love his persona and music. The mutated neck profile just helps so much with my F*** up wrist......jest sayin"

[@justinorprecio3094]

The future of shred 😁

[@josephgervasi]

Great interview.

[@RVGamer]

Great Interviewer, amazing!

[@trumpwatch9700]

Even the Traveler guitars with no headstock are nice & easy to play immediately. It's actually really nice when moving around not to have the bulky headstock in the way & that narrow point where a neck will break most easily disappears right at the place where the neck would break. You'll never be concerned about a headstock again. Also for manufacturers it's easier to have a single piece of wood through the body because you're not having to fashion a headstock out of the wood length. Also tuning the strings in the body is an easier place to design motorized tuning devices or other advanced tuning equipment that people would care to design. I think the migration to headstockless guitars will increase to the point where the ancient low-tech headstock will eventually go away - unless someone finds that it affects tone - something nobody has yet claimed - but probably will as this approach changes.

[@tushang.shivam]

Great interview. Keep up the good job

[@Malediction99]

Wow, great questions. Interesting interview.

[@leetattoo1976]

A superb talent!

[@elevenguitarsrockrollcompa407]

Plini awesome

[@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa420]

The most polite Australian musicians of all time lmao

[@yellowdudewithedibleshorts]

That Marco Minneman story is just insane

[@CarcPazu]

They obviously dragged him out of a bed 5 minutes before the interview and he looks like he's about to doze off after every word lol.

[@megajames3000]

that australian jet lag must be rough

[@timothylpappas]

he's relaxed

[@piyushsharma5177]

He's always like that

[@timwoodruff]

18:27 When will the Strandberg lamp be available for purchase? Lol

[@nunolance23]

damn, great interview! you should interview the guys in CHON as well!

[@bwestby1]

Very nice interview.

[@sweetwater]

🙌

[@XhopebringerX777]

Thank you Sweetwater! Definitely a very inspirational guitarist:)

[@sweetwater]

👍🎸

[@abeljoy1125]

Informative😍

[@TheShyArmyTV]

awesome!

[@vejichan]

Guthrie Govan + Plini = future of guitar

[@MauricioMartinez0707]

Good interviewer

[@ZacharyDial]

Plini lives the life I want. 😅

[@Babassecretchannel]

”I never had a guitar teacher”. Can’t say I’m surprised.

[@palidiciovermingagurainia1760]

this is the most down to earth artist interview

[@Willmcd1016]

They should’ve called it Plinterview
