Pharrell Chad JT playing piano

[@makkein]

Chad isn't the unsung hero, but his role in the Neptunes is to "lace things up" and he does it perfectly. Pharrell starts, Chad finishes--perfect.

[@TupacShakurr]

He is the unsung hero cause if he didn’t finish it who can. They both are great

[@kevinorcena8758]

Pharrell got lost in the chords, then chad jumped in made a bit of progress then got lost also then pharrell comes in to give a hand then boom. They feed eachother

[@beastnstuff]

Chad was like "I already got the melody I'ma just sit here and stare at your process."

[@miaporche2256]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😍😭

[@AyoShaunUMrKingston]

Its funny that Pharrell and Justin were nowhere close to nailing what Chad did.

[@robertmarley6550]

AyoShaunUMrKingston like nowhere near lol... Chad comes out of nowhere and creates a classic

[@Jabrils]

fucking hugo to the rescue. holy shit. play this shit on repeat on every device that can

[@latelydawnIII]

Chad is awesome af...

[@mystkone]

Chad is the man. So underrated. But he is quintessential to the Neptune and n.e.r.d

[@zeke7437]

You can see how this inspired Tyler! Love this vid

[@jeffcorrea444]

@@thundorkat is that a bad thing tho that Pharrell and chad inspired Tyler

[@autoluxxx]

Latrelle in the back! Miss the early neptunes days.

[@thedangerwich5476]

It's so fascinating watching brilliant people make music.

[@DallasSniper]

All the time Chad is standing there watching them, he's thinking to himeself, "Look niggas, let me sit down and show you how it should be done. I got this!!!"

[@SJO897]

he wouldn't say that cuz he isn't black

[@QWUOP]

facts 😂

[@junglsmor]

1:53 “cut it out” lol

[@laquitaallen]

I hear Stevie Wonder- My Cherie Amour influence

[@dengriffey1736]

I still come to watch this even after what? 13 yrs? They both are musical geniuses

[@RemikxBeats]

Seen video soo many times but still can't get tired of it

[@hennedy_]

this is chord heaven

[@hennedy_]

You can hear the birth of Tyler happening in this video

[@Cudder959]

I can't stop watching this, seen it about 30 times

[@thedangerwich5476]

That's becaUse you're witnessing people making music with actual instruments, it's actually quite beautiful.

[@Cudder959]

Indeed

[@1andonlydasilent1]

Nearly 20 years later this is still amazing... Having two creative minds like this co exist like this .... Virginia stand up!!! That 2000s Neptunes sound though ❤️❤️❤️

[@roelarcos92]

chad is a beast on the piano

[@newyorkpianoguy]

OMG! "My Cheri Amour" by Stevie Wonder! Pretty much the identical chord progression fellas! : )

[@Rnune-zx7si]

I love you Chad Hugo

[@_Ashley_O]

This is so cute. I love how that little boy came in the end playing with JT, that was really cute. He's gonna be a great dad for sure. Love you JT.

[@gilramos5767]

Wtf 2 songs in the making Pharrell's "Take it of" and JT's "Lets Take a ride"

[@ItsBobbieDrake]

anyone else notice around that 8:14 mark Chad was playing what would later go on to become "Frontin'" by Pharrell for a few seconds?

[@gemo1986]

this version is no doubt much better than the final version!

[@LuigiBoVerFinal]

I like how they're jammin out on that Dm7

[@larry89]

pharrell and chad neeed 2 work together again

[@Arturoplateido333]

They were actually recently in the studio with Pusha T for his new album !

That's a whole lot of talent at one piano.

[@jamesbrooking2143]

Chad's chords remind me of Nujabes

[@katzeonline]

[@carrera580]

Hop in the car and go with me! Aye still in 2020

[@cepilla]

"Mon cherie amour"?... it has some similar chords

[@jer3l]

[@johnSiempre901]

The chords have a similar feel to Stevie Wonders song Golden Lady

[@logandavis2593]

That's how you make a beat

[@DMINISHED9]

Chad “what are you trying to do?” I did that last night in my sleep on accident

[@MrRobinsonlife]

Chad got on and sh*t got really epic..

[@smeuj]

@eajdm11 At the end Chad plays : Ebmin7(9) Ab7sus Dbmin7(9) Gb7sus

...that one "dislike" is the dude at the free hotspot venue that keeps dozing off...

[@TheLyricAndTheLyre]

Look at them... these minds coming together to hash it out on the piano. organic COLLABORATION! It just doesn't happen at all anymore... in the pop world that is. Incredible album.

[@pazbanga]

OMG my heart exploded at 5:26 ❤️

[@beatsbykobra]

i just want a team like this

[@Marceles45]

Let's Take A Ride on the piano...so dope

[@Shaunnyhoward]

let's take a rideeeeeeeeee

[@hackanoo]

brillient :D

[@SeeJay804]

@tucc40095 Some people don't need to study music, they just feel it like an innate sense. Some people need to know music theory in order to make music but others can do it naturally.

[@cblack126]

yeah it sounds like my cherie amour

[@AlphaSigma]

"still on my brain" the striped down version.

[@Dave23788]

pharrell himself had the moments as well while chad was gambling

[@I_got_10_felonies]

multiple piano notes played at the same time

[@TheRomanianRambo]

Pharrell is the idea, chad is the brain that turns the idea into a hit, and JT.....well JT isn't doing much at all except fuckin up the sound!

[@cblack126]

Spring 2013 nostalgia

[@undisclosed_eb]

Hop in the car and go with me....

[@beastnstuff]

Chad's chords are so Asian influenced I think that's what makes every Neptunes track so infectious

[@yvonniedagcuta6908]

Yes he got it from Philippines

[@kahlilblu]

oh god is that stevie

[@hexsplows]

reccomend me some stuff that you think his chords are influenced by pls?

[@agustinflores91]

hate to say it but the first "drafts" of the song sound better.

[@Dave23788]

i hear "lets take a ride" :)

[@ferjos44]

Lo de Chad fue un "mhh quitense, así se hace esta chingadera" xD

[@Flexize2]

2023...still relevant.

[@ahsdhhsffsfsddsf]

N.E.R.D or either Pharell has this album where they do improv different songs while playing the piano. I want to say its in London...i cant find it

[@3438jff4]

he is trying to play my cherie amour by stevie wonder :D

[@logandavis2593]

Come on chad you got it the first time do that shit

[@MrCandry]

Word!

[@ChrisCreactionMediaa]

Lets take a ride

[@bladebrown4191]

Justin really needed to stop that little 'tinkling' shit he was doing on the keys, angling to up his percentage lol. P was trying to find that groove.

[@dopeman922]

begining chords sound like Dim the Lights by Pharrell

[@elisificationable]

Chad is like youknow

[@rangerdams]

They back now

[@SnowGirl098]

@tucc40095 What are you talking about? I don't know much about Chad and Pharrell, but I know Justin has been talking piano lessons since he was really young. Taking piano lessons is practically taking an advanced course on musical theory, so he definitely knows a thing or two.

[@stratojb]

Chad!!!

[@InSwanWeTrustTV]

@bobbie G that would be Number one.

[@johnnymassacre]

I'd like someone to tell me exactly how good Chad is, from the eyes of someone who knows ability. Like, grade wise.

[@SeeJay804]

@johnnymassacre Pharrell gets a lot of the face time of the Neptunes but as you can see in this video, Pharrell wouldnt be able to make all the hits that he has without Chad's partnership. Pharrell is basically the one to come up with the ideas and basics but Chad adds the finishing touches that turns these songs into hits.

[@Free411]

@SnowGirl098 Yea I would have to agree with @djfakt I've been taking lessons for awhile and can play almost anything if you give me the sheet music, but I don't know how to read chord progressions at all which is a part of theory, and its not that progressions are hard to read, I just haven't taken the time to learn them, but I'm doing that now as I realize how beneficial it is to improvisation and playing for people who sing

[@SteemaMusic]

sounds like Stevie wonder at the beginning

[@Dave23788]

when was it recorded?

[@zjs1925]

I hear Tyler

[@OhJord]

Fuck. I can die now. Happily

[@jesseclifton]

@TheRomanianRambo JT is the face of the product.

[@johnnymassacre]

@SeeJay804 That sounds like a pretty accurate guess to me.

[@tuami]

Usher - what a guy gotta do Usher sung the song 2009 with this sample

[@eajdm11]

does anyone know the chords that they are playing?? thx

[@cudfamily6700]

Idk much about music but at 5:49 when chad says it needs to be in key, what does that mean? I’ve googled it but can’t get a straight answer.

[@blizzred2143]

I think this is what happened, Justin says “ do you want me to hold it down” meaning want me to sing to it. Chad says “it needs to be in key” meaning the right musical key that they are either looking to make the song around or the musical key that will suit justin’s voice/range.

[@cameron_fairchild]

@@blizzred2143 correct.

[@andreblk10]

Justin says "keep the same bass tho right?" on the keys
