Charlie is actually a jazz piano major. he's been studying jazz since he was 10. Also went to Berklee. I'm not into his music but I'm a fan when he jams on the piano and is not doing his particular type of pop. Don't get me wrong, I love pop music, I just find his oversaturated, strictly made for sales. It's my opinion. He can do much better pop music like so many have, specially with his talent.

[@thatperson8741]

samee. i thought i was the only weird one haha

You can be trained and learn to break down and analyze music, even replicate it, but getting the same "feel" is pretty hard.

Because the music came from Charlie, so Charles is breaking it down and appreciating it.

Went to school with him, had brunch with him a few times. The dude's talented. People probably don't know he attended a famous jazz school on a full-ride, if not a presidential scholarship, on piano. He comes from money, so I'm sure that helps, but he's a great producer, mix engineer, and player... that's always been the case. Look at who did the work on Attention... it's him. Look at who else does work on their songs... it's a lot of people. He collaborates for sure, but he's always been a more-than-self-sufficient and autonomous enough of a producer/musician/player. Whether you like pop music or his style or image is another story.

[@TaylorWMusic22]

Facts

[@marsh6689]

I have followed Charlie since he appeared on Ellen years ago. I was drawn to him immediately because he had been bullied throughout his younger life and music became his life. Every song he ever covered was better than the original artist releasing it. His mom taught him piano early on and his talent earned him his scholarship, not "coming from money" as written above. He was born music and as a pianist myself have so much admiration for everything he ever touches. I love his jazz training and natural ability to surprise us with those chords in his current music.

Your joy and exuberance for the music you’re hearing is as fun to watch as listening to the music!

[@e_brangelical]

I love how he picks up on other music so quickly. Quality content as always.

[@luf4rall]

Music is just another language

[@GrumpyStormtrooper]

that's what you get from learning songs by ear. you first find the root notes and then find out the quality of the chords (major, minor, 7th, diminished...) and finally the extensions or alterations of the extensions, while trying to keep the original voicing. i'm still learning to do this, i can copy basic progressions by ear but not more complicated voicings and alterations.

[@e_brangelical]

I play both by ear and sheet music, but still learning how those root chords and Jazz patterns work.

10:45

[@PjPerez]

Actually a lot of these jams and creative chord changes remind me of what Stevie Wonder was doing on several of his '70s albums. (Which, of course, brought a lot of jazz voicings to soul & pop.)

[@featwizzle5517]

It’s cool to see someone with relative pitch able to pick someone with perfect pitches mind so effortlessly; first time watcher and I’m a fan!

[@lydiakss]

who else knows like nothing about all this music nerd stuff, but still watched the whole 16 minutes and 52 seconds?

I am liking this before halfway thru the vid cuz I am definitely gonna finish it

Dope

I am here just for the great jazz tunes

[@pandabox4509]

Most of people who's trying to learn music theory is sick of trying. It makes no sense until all those letters and numbers are translated into music itself. But while watching this dude, learning music theory is alot more interesting. Furthermore, you can find what you missed in music theory and learn it. Even if you're not educated in music theory(which is totally fine) can find this kind of things pretty amusing because music is such a mysterious thing and this guy is explaining it.

[@Gatapotata]

That last tune was a D'Angelo song... It's called "How Does It Feel"

[@bdubzmusic]

Haha yah I’m surprised Charles didn’t know too!!!

[@trilee8074]

Anyone can make beats since it’s easily accessible and since there’s a lot of tutorials out there nowadays, but it takes serious SKILLS to do what Charlie does, especially his piano playing. Dude is so good at what he does that it becomes second nature to him. He doesn’t even have to think hard about it. That’s the kind of level you want to be at if you want to be good at something. And all it requires is real dedication, patience, and hard/smart work.

[@pianoproductions9059]

Big fan of Charlie and Charles love how they're bringing jazz to the mainstream 🔥🎹

[@soldier_of_luv]

The third song is “How does it feel”-D’angelo

[@DEEPFAYED]

Yea, just listening here like how do you not know this is D'angelo... and he's always talking about feel and groove in his videos. Okay... 👀

[@soldier_of_luv]

DEEPFAYED yea, you would think he listens to that type of music judging how much he liked it

[@trumulletman]

I thrashed the shit out of voodoo back in my teens

[@gegloff1]

@@DEEPFAYED I was surprised he didn't call that out too. And not only is it D, who's one of the heaviest groove musicians in the past few decades, but it's his most popular (known) song. Quest and Pino killed it with D'Angelo. So deep.

Charles, I'm really impressed by your piano skills and music theory knowledge. I'm a saxophonist who's started learning to play guitar, but your videos really have me thinking about learning to play piano and diving back into music theory.

[@chrishart4034]

Charles, when you break something down like this, you should consider putting the chords on the top left like Publio Delgado’s Harmonizator. I think it would help to us all to visualize something when you’re explaining chord progressions.

[@lerigoureux6474]

The thing I like about Charlie PUTH is that he's unapologetic about having learnt music academically. Most musicians in the mainstream act as though they were all self-taught and I get that it's a better look, makes you seem like an absolute prodigy but realistically... I mean Jacob COLLIER literally claims to be self-taught... So does Lady GAGA, Bruno MARS, and the list goes on.

[@LucielStarz123]

Le Rigoureux Jacob Collier grew up with a family that’s heavily in music academically and otherwise, his mother is a music teacher. So he grew up with it “organically”, because he didn’t actively choose to study music, it’s just there. Kinda like how someone might have to Academically learn English vs native speaker.

[@jamesmacewan8209]

Everybody is self taught with varying degrees of support, direction, and tuition. We are all radically different, and subsequently learn and understand concepts in very different way. Nobody is self taught.

[@bigmane-money5216]

The Beatles were self taught

[@tehaus10]

Wait. When did Gaga claim to be self-taught?

[@lerigoureux6474]

@@tehaus10 I think that I'm wrong about this one because I can't find the piece again. I apologise.
