Ultimate Guitar Jam: Plini, David Maxim Micic, Tosin Abasi & Nick Johnston Live

[@haripnarayanan2515]

The appreciation they have for each other is just so amazing. And also Micic's face when he realises he's coming after Abasi.

came here expecting silver, found gold with this comment!!!

[@paulya1269]

I’m 53 years old...my hero’s are David Gilmour, Jimmy Page, SR Vaughn, Alex Lifesone etc.... it’s nice to see a younger generation of super talented guitarists who will influence kids going forward!

[@jozza177]

the amount of talent on that stage is insane

[@IceGene]

and they say there are no guitar heroes in this generation hehehe

[@mikeparsons8745]

Awesome. The new John McLaughlins, Larry Coryells, these kids are unreal.

[@cloudrise]

Who the hell says that?

[@JoeNation1994]

They're not "mainstream" enough. Honestly, I hope they remain that way! Creative music for minds that love non repetitive music.

[@skunkproductionsMLA]

Nick Johnston is my favorite and how he rapes those guitar controls.

[@CurrDawg]

Yeah had lost hope there for a while....but the guitar is alive and well!!!

[@seven_of_erra]

Imagine you suddenly get thrown in among them and it's your turn to play something... "uhh, here's an em chord"

[@alexi-alex1759]

John Careaga :) I was thinking about that too that would be embarassing

[@madhurrawat1376]

😂

[@profaneera6962]

I could play pentatonic over and over

[@nalivai4862]

Anyway, here's wonderwall

[@weirdmelody790]

It's a sweet dream as well as a nightmare

[@julidiamondlover]

Nick johnston with those muted notes- sounds cool as hell and I've never heard quite that type of percussive style in a jam

[@grimeyshred]

He is really fucking good at that

[@paulhanwetbe]

Jake Hammaker i wonder what pickups he uses

[@abhinavnatarajan4180]

The 4th soloist is Jake Howsam Lowe from the Helix Nebula, and he's a badass guitarist in his own right!

[@joashbritto]

Surprised that didn't include him in the title :/

[@joashbritto]

They didn't*

[@abhinavnatarajan4180]

@@joashbritto yeah he's great, he should be credited here

[@richardcaldwell900]

This is mind blowing and euphoric to watch but Jake Howsam Lowe is also on stage and should have been listed.

[@markipelagogogo]

He's listed in other versions of this but yeah - he's IN Plini, but he's not Plini and absolutely should be acknowledged.

[@jacobdowell7805]

I was pissed nick stood in his way. He had my favorite solo

[@DatHombre]

God right when they transitioned back into Away tears immediately filled my eyes haha. We are absolutely blessed to live at the same time as all of these guys.

Nobody there at the time knew it, but there wasa time traveler in the crowd whos job it was to destroy humanity... they traveled back to a random destination and ended up there.. after seeing all these guys on one stage jamming they decided to abandon their mision and stay in the ( our ) present time.. thnks Tosin, Nick, Plini and Dave for saving humanity from destruction with your awesome music.

[@andivax]

Never loved Tosin's solos until this video. And other guys are just great!

[@metal6897]

Is it just me, or did Tosin seriously improve at jamming? Btw, love when Plini fakes throwing his guitar when he sees Tosin play at 3:30 , I really love the fact that they're appreciating each others' playing

[@johnnyantonny2858]

I think it's because he played inamorata opening almost all figured out xD

[@shapeshiftingpanda]

Johnny Antonny lol true

[@ChrisAlia123shredmadinsanity]

That's what happens when you go on tour with VAI and Yngwie

[@33akachi10]

Tosin has def gotten better at improv. He's been in the lab bro lol. And yes I'm 2 years late LMFAO

[@fernandes5986]

This jam song alone is better than most of today's top 40 tunes.

[@LaniakeaLeathercrafts]

I cannot help but smile while watching this. :)

[@drsavage3262]

What an all-star lineup. Being there would have been easily top 3 jam sessions of my life.

[@JakeRosen635]

If Javier Reyes, Travis Levrier, Aaron Marshall, Mario Camerena, Erick Hansel, Sithu Aye, and the guys from the Helix Nebula were also on that stage, that would be heaven...

[@elevenAD]

two of the guys from the Helix Nebula are on stage(guitar and bass)

[@samschellhase8831]

We nick Mark Michell in the background going at it with Plini’s bass player (blanking on his name...). Just the two of them having a mini jam session behind the guitars (or after the guitars) would be amazing

[@harmonygaleria6311]

And Jakub Zytecki

[@karlikot]

Kindly add chris letchfort, tim henson, scott lepage, misha mansoor, sithu aye and widek

[@bandrefilipe]

And Chris Letchford, Yvette Young, Sarah Longfield, guys from Protest the Hero...

[@cx777o]

troy is so good holding the groove tight like that haha

[@profaneera6962]

Plini is such a musician. Simple tasty notes very sweet phrase

[@Don_Quesadilla]

The fourth guy’s second pass was pretty incredible.

[@kymanicharles1395]

I love how tosin started playing the solo to "inner assassins"

[@CurrDawg]

Super cool to see a bunch of guitarists geek out over one another! The future is bright for the guitar as an instrument!

[@xyglrox5869]

This was the best thing I’ve witnessed in a long time

[@Haxprocess96]

I love how Tosin began playing the main melody of Inner Assasins at 1:20, EPIC JAM!

[@LukeRieder]

The moment tosin did his first solo in this lineup ...pure magic ...

[@sonampakhrin826]

New age guitar gods....

[@richardmg9903]

The vibes in the audience is beautiful

[@SpartanLaserCanon]

Man of all the recent videos I have seen this gets me wanting to practice so much. These guys know their theory and I do to and need to work on theory stuff more.

[@TheArtArq]

the guitar heroes of this era!

[@33akachi10]

1:20 - 1:30 a prime example of quality vs quantity. Honestly I wish Tosen had played that entire turn like that. Sure it's impressive to play a bunch of notes really fast, but God Damn...that was the best 10 sec in this entire video to me. I felt that...

[@kevinjones2111]

Man I always repeat that line from Tosin when I watch this, it's as if words coming right out of that guitar speaking to your soul

[@static_motion]

If you're wondering, that's the lead melody from his band's (Animals As Leaders) song "Inner Assassins". Amazing song, one of their best IMO.

[@robertfennis6088]

The joke there was i think that he played exactly Plinis original part

[@Pughhead]

That was a part of one of his songs, not improvising...

[@entropyembrace3844]

Tosin just got a whole lot better at improvising... nobody is safe now!

[@andreasyayan]

one last minute says it all.

[@Laura_Sky55]

Marvellous!!! More like this please!!!

[@thotsonlanghu]

The rest sounded sounded good but Nick got the most interesting line

[@Mist_R]

This is lit. Tosin is a beast. Plini is my main dude tho

[@giannisdoumanis7159]

Nick Johnston and Plini play great

[@FindingsOfAnArmouredMind]

I'm quite shocked to find about this 4 years later, but I am more shocked by the chemistry these musicians have, especially starting from 4:47 onwards, everyone is so in tune with one another and what the other is doing or trying to do, for every lick is so delicately played in succession after the other, creating a seemingly single giant musical piece. It is, in fact, a statement, one about the oneness of all living, for it is the very moment you can witness such a miracle: 7 individual minds have become one.

[@aumchandran2437]

such a solid bassline by simon. love the guy

[@StephenDanielAddeo]

Nick's looking like Allen from Jumanji. I like it.

[@JunoXL]

A tiny glimpse of heaven..

[@nicolasfrossard4315]

Bassist is like: Guys when's my time to play??

[@BarstucksCoffee]

Hahahaha But seriously though, Simon Grove has insane groove and he's carrying that rhythm throughout the jam

[@markipelagogogo]

@@BarstucksCoffee Exactly. Simon dials in with Plini like Billy Sheehan dials in with Paul Gilbert. That's a dude you want around for pocket, rhythm and a dude who knows how to LEAD when needed too.

[@paulgilbert3139]

Not today bro.. not infront plini, tosin, and nick 😌

[@SpartanLaserCanon]

Tosin's and Plini's phrasing always hits me hard compared to some shredders like Herman Li who is blast notes in your phase so hard. All these guys blended fusiony stuff pretty well. Damn I love alotnof the new Jazzy side of Metal.

[@ShuXamR]

and the very talented Simon Grove at the bass guitar; also the bassist of The Helix Nebula

[@reynaldostufano1109]

He's Nick Johnston.

[@SaithisXIV]

Tosin looks like the 6yo who'd invite to play Nintendo until he cleared super Mario Bros in 7min. Those thumbs be like insane.

[@endtyme1345]

If you close your eyes the only one who distinguish from the rest it's Nick Johnston. All are wonderful but Johnston sounds timeless and that's his maximum skill: he's the future of guitar but he embraces the past.Not sure about the rest.

[@jacobsss5827]

And Simon Grove on bass :D
