http://plini.guitarmessenger.com - PRE ORDER HERE. Course out on October 10. Only pre-order students get access to a private Q&A live-stream session with Plini, as well as exclusive discounts from Neural DSP, GetGood Drums, Submission Audio, and Cradle.
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.
Topics Include:
• Gathering inspiration & starting a composition
• Building an arrangement with drums & bass
• Adding guitar parts & crafting a melody
• Developing the song structure & expanding the composition
• Sculpting a guitar solo
• Adding finishing touches to a song & connecting ideas with ambience
The course is split up into two sections:
• Section 1 is a detailed review of Dog Days, a song written specifically for this course to demonstrate Plinis approaches to songwriting and production.
• Section 2 features several free-form writing sessions that begin with a blank slate and evolve into songs in real time. This segment highlights both unfinished pieces and a completed composition, offering an authentic look at the songwriting process.
