In this video, I show you how to make an emotional guitar Afrobeat in FL Studio inspired by that Serotonin/Kumi type vibe (Odeal, Omah Lay kind of feel). We start from the most important thing first—tempo—because tempo determines the vibe for the most part. For this style, I like to stay around 90–105 BPM, and in the tutorial I start at 100 BPM. From there, I build the drums step by step: soft rim groove, layered kicks (including that “slightly off beat but it’s actually on beat” feel), hats, and percs. I also show you how I humanize the bounce by adjusting velocity and chopping loops so they don’t feel too consistent. After the drums, I create the chord progression using an electric piano in Analog Lab, then I duplicate the MIDI and turn it into a guitar part (processing with EQ, a sidechain-style movement, chorus, and reverb to get that surreal guitar feel). I also break down the key/scale part in a practical way—finding the relative major and transposing so everything sits correctly in E major. Then we add background ambience, a simple but effective sub bass pattern (with velocity and note-length tweaks), and finally vocal phrases to glue the vibe together. To wrap it up, I arrange the full beat with a clear structure (intro, verse, pre-chorus, chorus, etc.), strip elements for dynamics, and add drum rolls/crashes for transitions so the whole production flows like a real record.
