My Keyboard Techniques | Scott Storch

This is the dude that made me start producing when I was 16. Im 34 now, and my career is a joke, but I will continue until I die because I love it! Thanks Scott

Not enough people know how much of an influential producer Scott is. Met him in Miami once and he was a nice guy. Glad to see he’s doing well.

"he was a nice guy.?" he is 😀😀😀

That's whats up not sure why someone said that he's an asshole they might have just caught him on a bad day or approached him in a weird way to which he didn't like or feel comfortable with

[@ZondaRbg]

@@DocKaosBeats u know when he did all the best tracks, he was snorting white all day, so maybe that gives him muse to create.

That's when a piano player wasn't satisfied with the piano.😊

This man defined a whole generation of hip hop music.

[@karateflix]

the pitch bend on "let me love you" he just did so easily, lmao. totally gives the melody more feeling.

[@zackmaurers7475]

I could listen to Scott for hours talking about music, such a chill and inspiring dude🙌

[@dialac1]

Scott storch has so many hits, it’s ridiculous. In the 2000s, he has multiple production credits on the billboard at the same time for different artists

[@slvshy666]

It's crazy to think of how many hours Scott has spent on a keyboard. He's been obsessed since 8 or 9 years old??? He's put in so much more than 10,000 hours.

[@followilko]

you're such a f*ck**g legend. made the entire world bounce and nobody even knows. huge inspiration. you shaped an era. crazy.

[@michaelg3067]

One of the dopest producers EVER!!! He really can play those keys🎹🔥🔥🔥

[@ZackWilliams_TheProducer]

One thing I learned through trial and error about melody is that the rhythm is everything. The push and pull between the notes and the spaces between them. Just adjusting the rhythm and spacing in a melody a little bit can change a boring melody into something special.

[@Aulart]

Totally agree!

[@coloaten6682]

I really think rhythm is the most important element. Rhythm is what people dance to and dancing is such a primeval activity that people react to rhythm so readily. I think that anybody learning piano should learn to add rhythm really early on because it brings a whole new level of excitement to the instrument. Adding rhythm between the left and right hands even in quite a basic way can make a beginner feel like they're playing the piano like someone with a lot more experience than they actually have, it's so motivating!

[@HunterGibson6969]

I think its part of what made isley brothers so timeless and able to compete from the late 50s all the way to 2020s, they didnt have a dedicated drummer (ernie could drum, and im sure chris as a key player became useful for drums in the 80s) they had a guy for live and studio drummer but id imagine a larger percentage of their creation process was just bass, guitar, and keys, but they push and pull off of eachother in such a way that basically dictates the drum pattern before its even played, then you add that kick drum so that the bass notes push off of it and its such a pocket created

[@JHobartMusic72]

@@coloaten6682absolutely but one of the coolest things is that you can make something completely rhythmic and not even have a single drum. And it’s cool to syncopate the spaces, and rhythmic elements among all instruments and create something unique.

[@RHY9beats]

Searching for Scott's videos on youtube is my another addiction,he is freaking inspirational ❤

"Is ya man, on the floor, if he ain't, let me know" Scott is a LEGEND

[@marcm5348]

The GOAT 🐐

[@Thunder-Raw-am]

Scott is one of my Top 3 producers. That actually plays a instrument and makes the beat.I disagree when folks try to say thats only beat making when actually producing music is, playing instruments, writing, arrangment, directing, mixing, mastering. All those hats combined. Not just slapping a popular name on it to get credit 😜. Scott is one of the few that you can see on KZbin actually playing. Im not against sampling & sequencing or programming, but most producers today dont play any instruments at all, just programming, or conducting someone elses idea (remixing).

[@johnnyb5984]

[@olabassey3142]

nerd

[@olabassey3142]

a producer is a producer, if u looking for an instrumentalist or keyboardist then say so. stop downplaying other producers. a producer is someone who produces music. nowhere is it stated that u need to be an instrumentalist.

[@Thunder-Raw-am]

​@@olabassey3142 There's different levels to producing albums, a producer is not just a producer, if that's the case tell that to Dj Khalid and all the rest who classified beat makers separately from producers. Pay attention to the game b4 you talk. Re-read my post, how is it down playing if someone can do the mixing, beat making, arrangements, writing, editing, mastering, sampling- programming all on there own, like Dj Quik, Pharrell, Timbaland, Dj Battlecat and a FEW others in hip hop. There is a difference, you save a lot of 💲. And your more valuable to artists who are looking for someone who can vs those who can't, so go study the game and stop hating, you sound ignorant. My first original post was given Scott Storch his props for PLAYING his music and producing Hits in his catalog. And to Learn as much as you can by playing real instruments also. This includes fixing equipment, taking apart your instrument and putting it back together, setting up your equipment & instruments as a sound tech, cleaning your instruments & equipment, and tuning your instruments, that's all included of being a MUSICIAN. What wrong with that? Nothing. WHY WOULD A MUSICIAN HAVE A ISSUE WITH THAT? OR BE OFFENDED WHEN THATS WHAT WE DO. So I can tell by your post you must not. That's why alot of music sounds the same right now, programming the same rhythm, or loops, drag n drop into lower or higher keys, pasting computer Ai loops. There's more to creating music if you can play real instruments as well. By the way I do both. I play my own instruments not just piano or keyboards, various instruments are used. So If I decide to higher another musician then I can, but I don't have to rely on that. 💯 REAL TALK.

[@arnaudkokou2309]

You right . I always like producer who plays instruments

[@LonzCantiLife]

to expand on that pitch bend, it's always fun to tune your piano down a bit .. 440hz --> 425hz so when you're playing in C you're getting something between C & B .. really gives your playing a different sound!

[@WATCHoutFORthis]

That let me love you sound is so original. He is the GOAT!

[@bellydancer3146]

Im also self taught on keyboard, rhythm guitar,turkish drum, harmonica and conga. It opens your mind to experiment and adlib better while playing because you not thinking "that key is flat" or "im off count".

[@Amo_vibe5]

Scott Storch , an absolute musical genius

[@MaxFury_Official]

I don't generally like the style of music he's involved in (rap, hiphop , etc), but what i do like, is what he adds to em'. That Piano bit he showed is legendary. It's so catchy and good, without it. It would just be "another rap song". If in the modern world i could pick any producer to work with on something like a blend between rock and rap i would pick Scott. As a Swede i would even pick him above someone like Max Martin. He's that good! I was smiling when he showed the pitch bend stuff. Cause that's really what set his stuff apart. That "Arabic" sorta feel. it's so effective also adding a little vibrato to certain notes goes along way to make something sound more interesting! Thanks for the inspirational video!

[@SaltyChip]

That ending was worth it. Ended on a high note that was sick.

[@CaptainUncle1836]

Practice AND determination. Very important, without determination practice is dull and pointless

[@matthewutley5370]

I'm definitely no Scott Storch, but some of this I can definitely relate to, myself also being self-taught. Particularly the part about building basic chords, and experimenting with adding / modifying notes to make new chords without knowing what I'm doing technically.

[@Aulart]

Music isn't all about the technique! 🙌

[@ChaceBonanno]

Teaching yourself to play an instrument is so cool. It’s just organically rediscovering music theory.

[@elishamiyahira4301]

Carries and explains himself like a humble king. We need to protect Scott storch at all cost. I’m talking to you black ladies 😅

[@NeaRaRiver]

I am from Europe and absolutely not a ganster type of guy, rather an emo punk but I love rappers like Biggie, Eminem, Big, 50C L etc. because they really had something to say and the style was so unique, I was wondering is it all just them? But then I discovered they have great talented company like Scott around them also. And its the greatest thing that he even shares his knowledge instead of hiding it. Thank you so much!
