Plini is an Australian guitarist. And yes, he's a Satriani, Vai and Dream Theater fan. You can hear some Pat Metheny influences too. Part of his fantastic work includes: "Electric Sunrise", "Paper Moon", "Cascade", "Handmade Cities". And there's a band that toured with him a couple of times: Arch Echo. Fantastic musicians. "Color Wheel", "Immediate Results!", "To the Moon" are excellent.
