That tone is as perfect as their playing

can't spell groove without Grove

This is so tasty! The playing and tones are good and so of course, but the fun they're having, and the saturated smiles make it even better. I always thought that the older Plini songs were even more brilliant, but now I see them playing this, it makes a whole lot more sense! These songs are definetely meant to be more chill-out and fun. The older songs were a lot more intense emotionally. These songs are warm, deliciously smelling hot chocolate on a snowy winter day, whereas the older ones (the End of Everything for example) were sleeping outside, in the mountains, under a sky filled with stars we can never fathom. Now I see, hear and feel the difference, I think I'll enjoy the new songs equally as much! Thanks for sharing!

I love their chemistry

So glad that we, now, have an amazing live performance of "Kind" from you and Simon, Plini. Dankeschoen, friend.

These two are so great live

The tone is sublime. The touch matches the tone. Amazing feelings in the air....

These guys are just amazing.

Wow! Brilliant playing.

I love these two.

Beautiful sound!

Both are so calm, relaxed and bad-ass to the max.

0:30 jazzy

It's always so satisfying watching both Plini and Simon playing together, I'm convinced that they have a better bromance than plini and aaron lol. Anyway, who else is wondering what's the VST's that plini uses in his backtracking? We're all about his guitar, but the backtracking adds SO MUCH to his tone as well... especially those choirs at 2:54 and the marimba thingy that follows after that. Those are one of the most prominent instruments from his first EP's and hearing them again makes it somewhat nostalgic.

The Batman and Robin of this era :)

💯😎👑👑 so dope 🔥✊🏽🤟🏼✊🏽🤟🏼

The Dunlop Booth needs to be an ep or full release. Complication of the last 5+ years.

I need the Nolly and paralax badly.

I had no clue Johnny Bravo plays bass that well! :P

@rodrigozamo

It is multiscale but not full fanned frets. For full fanned frets you are looking at a 27" scale on the bottom strings, 25.5 on the top. This particular model is 25 on the top strings, 25.5 on the bottom strings. So it's a little shorter, more Gibson like (Gibson is 24 3/4"), soft and great for bends on the top strings and strat type tension on the top.
