Do The Astral Plane (Flying Lotus Cover)

Link to Joe's originals: / joemacphail
About the video: This is a cover of the Flying Lotus tune Do the Astral Plane, off the Cosmogramma album. I got really into Flying Lotus this past summer, since I have been known to enjoy video games and beautiful music. It's kind of funny doing an acoustic cover of an electronic track, but Miguel Atwood-Ferguson's string line is so gorgeous I had to learn how to play it. I love how Flylo alternates between aggressive and beautiful sounds, so I emulated that as best as I could.

Only a minute in and this is amazing dude, keep it up. I love this song and did a remix of this as well. Can't play the piano like you can but I did some stuff on a DAW.

[@shadow14772]

where did you get the sheet music for this?

[@sunsp.t]

I didn't, learned the parts by ear and played them until they felt comfortable.

[@shadow14772]

Joe MacPhail it sounds really good man! what chords are you playing? like a gm7 & dm7 for the main part or something?

[@sunsp.t]

***** Thanks! It's Abm7 - Gmaj7(b5) for the main part, which is eventually situated on top of a Abm-Ebm bass progression.

[@shadow14772]

oh ok awesome, thanks man! it sounds great keep it up
