Members satch1989 Posted January 2, 2014 Members Share Posted January 2, 2014 Hey guys, I am new around here. But I have a questions for you... I am trying to achieve a certain level of playing in a particular style, and I was hoping some of you could point me in the right direction. I'm not sure I any of you have heard of this (Plini) but I really dig his "all over the place" fusion thing hes got going on. Here is where I am coming from, not the greatest quality. Do you guys have any idea how to get outside of the notes like this? Thanks for listening(reading) me ramble on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jonfinn Posted January 2, 2014 Members Share Posted January 2, 2014 Hey man, I've never hear of Plini before, and it's pretty nice stuff. Kind of a shame he didn't use a real drummer on that opening cut. Ive always felt the best way to learn about someone else's style is to tear it apart, learn every single note of all the melodies and solos. Learn the chords that go under the melodies. Try to understand the relationship between the two. More often than not, that process reveals quite a lt abut the artist, and what elements contribute to their style. Try it!

Uh, listern to Guthrie Govan more, take drum lessons, work on arpeggios as a set of drums, and the solo motifs as melodic drum fills/solos.

Members Virgman Posted January 5, 2014 Members Share Posted January 5, 2014 I agree with Jon Finn. If you want to learn how he does it, trancribe his stuff. Learn it note for note.Copy first, understand later. Just like in high school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BenTunessence Posted January 7, 2014 Members Share Posted January 7, 2014 Totally on board with the idea that the best way to pick up his style is to transcribe his stuff.Also, see if you can find out who his influences are and start transcribing their stuff too. You could probably even just shoot him an email and ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
