"Songwriting with Plini is an in-depth masterclass in musical composition and modern progressive songwriting, straight from the mind of one of Australia’s most innovative and legendary musicians, Plini. Best known for his work as an instrumental guitarist and songwriter, Plini offers a comprehensive look into his unique methods for crafting memorable, inspiring songs.
This course offers over 3 hours of in-depth songwriting and production analysis with Plini, an extensive study of modern techniques, tips, and tools applicable to composing in any genre, plus 2 brand-new original songs written exclusively for the course using the provided strategies, an exclusive playthrough, and lifetime access. Also included are detailed transcriptions, presets, session templates, stems, backing tacks, and more.
The course is divided into two main sections. The first offers a comprehensive analysis of “Dog Days,” a song specifically crafted for this program, showcasing the songwriting and production techniques employed by Plini. In contrast, the second section begins with a blank slate. In a free-flowing format, we observe several attempts to create new music on camera, utilizing the techniques discussed earlier. This segment showcases both incomplete efforts and a successful composition, providing an honest glimpse into the realities of songwriting."

An exclusive evening with PLINI and RICHARD together in one room. This will be PLINI’s only visit to the UK this year. The guitar clinic will demonstrate their signature .strandberg* guitars alongside a live chat, performance and an improvised jam section followed by a Q&A. The night will be presented by the awesome OLLIE WINIBERG, Ex-BBC Radio One / BBC Music Introducing and presenter/curator of his successful Spotify podcast ‘The Heavy Hooks Show’.
The event will be a hybrid event, streamed live to a global audience and recorded. The guitar clinic will then be available to re-watch at your leisure for 30 days. Online View On Demand Tickets will be available to purchase anytime until the content is taken offline on Saturday 27th August 2022, 11:59pm.
The livestream will consist of a wide shot of the stage and close-ups of the guitars as PLINI and RICHARD play through your favourite recent and classic material. So you are guaranteed to see and hear all of the notes whether attending in person or watching online!
my 10-day course “how to write a melodic prog solo” is out now via Pickup Music! we take you through 5 different solos and a bunch of different ideas about note choice, phrasing, articulation and various techniques. hit the link above for more info 🤓📚🎸

— a few more hours on November 20 to track the guitar parts
— a 7.5 hour live stream on November 21 to finish the arrangement: youtu.be/V9JkAsfmado
— an additional hour or two on January 13 for some final guitar parts
— and an hour or so on May 30 to sign off on the mix/master
thank you to everyone who submitted a sample ♥

context: over the past couple of weeks, a few hundred people in my Discord server submitted samples (any instrument/sound/etc) and then Devesh and i started making a new song from scartch using only those samples: youtube.com/watch?v=Pr1ob9SJ698
in this stream, we more or less finished the arrangement and added some extra production spice throughout. i have a few more guitar parts to record, and then we should be able to finish + mix :D
go to discord.gg/plini for more info and to join future live streams
