Pilky is a definiton of a chad. He is a master at guitar, yet seeks no fame and notoriety, he just plays because he likes it, uploads when he feels like it and probably isn't aware of the massive following he gets, because he doesn't care. He's busy, and that's fine with us.

I new video from Pilky is like witnessing an eclipse once every 5 years

[@martylofberg]

The clip starts, the camera begins to pan back. The anticipation builds. Could it be? Could this be the day that the great and mysterious Pilky reveals his true identity? The slow rearward pan continues. How we have wondered, how we have waited. Three long years have felt like an eternity. Suddenly, just as hope reaches it's apex, the camera stops, pauses briefly and is then once again drawn back in by the immense gravitational pull of the man, the myth, the legend. Alas it is not meant to be. The secret things belong to the Lord, but the music revealed belongs to us and to our children forever.
