Kind and papelilo are my favorites of his cause in my eyes they have the most uniqueness compared to his other songs

4:10 "and that is pulling away from the idea of fucking up a lullaby". XD Love it.

This is exactly why his music is both deep and accessible -- the core of good composition is, well, good composition, on the most basic level. Complicated music with no core musicality is just poor structuring. Some of the most complex and well-regarded music in history, i.e. in the classical vein, tends to be incredibly coherent structurally, and at root playable as a two-handed piano piece. I'm realizing more and more that all these prog musicians that will likely have some place in history began with accessible, straightforward music, and are more than capable of writing such a song -- they have a fantastic grasp of the basics, and usually a relatively diverse "back catalogue", in terms of what they learned.

such a great guy and artist. Love seeing him get GW recognition

Most of what he said is just intervals. 30 mins on youtube and you'll get it. Understanding music theory isn't difficult. Applying it consciously is the difficult part if you want to get away from stumbling onto cool stuff and actually create it.

Plini should become a narrator

As prog as this song may be, it's still literally a lullaby to me. Totally calming.

Satriani also uses Stacked Fourths. It gives songs a dreamy quality. Plini is a fantastic guitarist

Looking forward to the Plini kids' album..

Beautiful axe!

Plini is wonderful

I need to pause the video every 10 seconds because Plini made a joke and I can't laugh and pay attention at the same time.

It's all diatonic until those last two chords where he changes the one note on the B string that he mentions in the video, but yeah, that's exactly the idea

@shitmandood

6 жыл бұрын

It's two notes held by one finger...lol. One note above & one below. That's a stacked forth. So if you have two fingers holding one note above & below, you have stacked fourths. The sixth note could be the degree in the scale from where the first stacked fourth is being held. Stacked fourths a sixth degree apart. That's one of those things that I think piano players can't do very well which is super easy on guitar.

Whispering a prayer ? ;-) Thanks for the video P,lini,

lullaby melodies with nightmarish harmonies. got it

is there a pedal i can buy to replicate his chorus tone

I just realized I've been saying the name Plini wrong lol. Good shit even I play bass. Doesnt directly apply to me. I just love hearing his music, and love how makes the point of having that bass guitar kick in all his songs.

2:18 LOL! Pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff LOL I needed that.

Dude.... I just saw Pat Metheny. He was wearing a black T shirt and smiling a veeeery wide grin while listening to those clean chimey chords.... Just sayin'!! Keep up the great stuff!

He writes in a few tunings. For example; Electric Sunrise is in drop Db, Selenium Forest is in Eb standard, and some songs on “Handmade Cities” use the tunings Eb-Bb-Eb-Ab-C-F and the seven strings on that album are tuned to drop Ab.
