Your playing is sooooo clean man. It's quite apparent when you see someone with proper fundamentals compared to someone who memorises a song by muscle memory. Not saying memorising and practicing a song until you can play it is wrong but knowing the theory makes the process much easier and quicker and also you can do improvs with good understanding of the songs.
Well put my friend, strong fundamentals allow you to pick up anything and start going at it a lot sooner and with more ease. I think I'm lucky because I've broken down so many of these prog songs for my students, you guys and myself. It truly helps me be more clean and fluid haha. Thanks for your gigantic compliment !!!
Wei! Incredible video as usual. I absolutely love this song. I had a few quick questions for you about it: 1) The part you're talking about at 0:36 (the hip-hop groove part), could you think of that as just straight eighth notes at 84 bpm instead of the normal quintuplets? Or is it more complicated than that? 2) You said you'll be doing more on this song in future videos, will you be going over the groove right after the triplet part, with the keyboard solo? I think that groove is so cool, I think he's accentuating the first and fourth quintuplets but I'm pumped for your video about it. 3) I made a post on reddit about the time signature change in this song, I thought you might like to read it: www.reddit.com/r/plini/comments/99r6st/plinis_flaneur_the_commutative_property_in_music/
1, 2) Oh yes you can think of it as 8th notes, but not straight, all the upbeats are played a tad late, hence they sound like they're late by a 32nd note. I'll break this down in another video because it's similar to the groove in the keyboard solo section. I think that groove is so cool too, it's pretty much been around in Hip Hop since the 90's and played a lot by drummers like Questlove and Chris Dave. And I am curious whether it was Plini's idea or Chris Allison's idea to put that in the song. 3) Hey I just read your article, I wish I could have seen it 3 months ago, would save me some time figuring things out hahaha, but it's interesting info that you provide there especially pointing out that the change happens at 4 minutes. I'm going to do the rest of the song anyway so I might reference your article(you'll be in the credits if I do) from a mathematics perspective. I've only thought about it from a musician's perspective so it's really interesting to me to see it described in a different way. Thanks for your support Chris!
@@ArtOfDrummingHQ Thanks for the reply man! That's really cool that each hit is a 32nd note back, it adds a cool laid back feel to the groove. I think Plini has love for hip hop music, if you listen to the mashup he made of Kendrick Lamar's Poetic Justice and his song Away. I'm glad you like the article too, I really love this kind of stuff and like writing about it. I'll look forward to your video and a shoutout would be cool! Keep up the awesome work man.
Chris Allison is a total beast. Plini is my favourite musician of all time and I had the pleasure of seeing him the night I turned 21... Right at the barrier. Thank you for these tutorials mate. So grateful
You know I've made tutorials by all these great musicians and fantastic bands but I haven't got the chance to catch a single one of them. So Im really glad you got the chance, holy crap did you see him just recently? And I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment and share your experience :)
Awesome! I have had a thing for quintuplets and 5s for the past few weeks so this came just as needed :) I have especially been jamming to two of Dylan Ryche's songs: "A Thank You In Fives" and "Evie". Just a guy playing classic guitar but super fun to jam to! I'll be turning it up a notch with Flaneur this weekend. Thanks! :)
Hey I'm doing well because my foot's recovered well. So here's to more drumming videos in the near future! Thanks for your encouragement Vincent, it's good to always see you around :)
Great collaboration! I see you have Sonder up on your wall. I'd love to see a breakdown of Beneath My Skin/Mirror Image (especially around 7:03) if you ever find the time to do it.
Haha you're right, I simply don't have the horsepower to churn out videos for everyone. But I'm figuring out a work around and a request model and might introduce it to all of you soon.
since the release of the EP, i listen to flaneur almost x5 everyday !! it's my favorite of the EP thank you for doin' this video man, you are awesome !
OH the Accents? Haha I don't usually put any accent markings into my transcriptions as I believe my viewers can interpret from the sound they hear but i might do it in the future :)

You’re the best man. Total professional to work with. Here’s to more collabs in the future :)
YEAH YOU TOO! Let's finish this song in early 2019 :)
@@ArtOfDrummingHQ It's a done deal!

@@ArtOfDrummingHQ I saw Plini, David Maxim micic and Mestis (Javier from AAL) on the 15th of September!
@@ArtOfDrummingHQ I also saw intervals the week following. I cannot recommend seeing either of those guys enough.
Hell yeah! Great!!!
Awesome video
Grazieeeeee! Plini + Your lessons are the best way for have a good day!!! Best regards!
Thank you sooooo much Leonardo :) I wish you more good days ahead!
Awesome video as always!

Oh that's fantastic, I'll check them out. I have a thing for guitarists regardless of type haha. Thanks for the compliment and suggest ions Eirik!

This is so fucking awesome. I love your videos and hope you're doing well. You break things down so well.

Keen observation, It's my favourite Tesseract album. So I might do it, although requests are reserved for my patrons Laurent, hope you understand.
@@ArtOfDrummingHQ Sounds good! No worries, it's a good idea to limit it this way.

@@ArtOfDrummingHQ I commend your dedication to your channel. Take care!
5:18 leaving this to practice this part
Have fun!
hanging out for part 2 man. brilliant playing. Did you notate this by ear?
Yes I did, part 2 might take a while, I gotta get in touch with my collaborator again haha
The best channel.
THANKS CARLOS!
How on earth does plini write these kind of things
That's a great question to ask the man himself!!
since the release of the EP, i listen to flaneur almost x5 everyday !! it's my favorite of the EP
thank you for doin' this video man, you are awesome !
And you're awesome for thinking so. I really love Flaneur too and the direction that Plini is headed with the jazz influence. Cheers man!!!
i was waiting for this! i love this song. Thank you so much!
You're welcome Franco, glad you enjoyed it!
Rewatching since I’m about to cover it and might as well save my brain since you already notated it!! Haha Love these as always dude!

Hey thanks :)

@@LeoPerantoni Ah I might dive into it in the future Leo :) Thanks for the recommendation and once again the idea for this lesson.
Great job ! But you forgot the "^"
OH the Accents? Haha I don't usually put any accent markings into my transcriptions as I believe my viewers can interpret from the sound they hear but i might do it in the future :)
A garyvee fan huh?
YES
