Charlie Puth PLAYS The Piano! Jazz Pianist Reacts

ah all right so all right this is one of those things where it's like you can tell a lot about a player about somebody's feel simply from whether how they play like an eighth note or a quarter like you can just hear when somebody has good feel and this is this is this is really sick just listen to little ghost notes in the piano and how those are placed and how the articulation lends itself to like the next chord so if you listen here [Music] there's just a little bit of like a separation in the hand so you kind of have this thing which is super cool this it's just a little bit of separation it's a small thing but i mean it just makes it feel really great [Music] ah yeah [Music] i think it's just [Music] yeah that's so great i don't even know if that was right or whatever but that sounds so good let's just talk quickly about the chord progression here oh man it's really nice a flat minor seven b flat minor seven b flat major seven and then kind of climbs back down and then i think he's using a c sharp 9 flat 13 sound here c7 before going back into like the second round but this time okay so this is what's super cool we could do the same thing again we could just keep going around and around with that chord progression it would sound good instead we can use the second half of the little you know chord progression to in a sense kind of resolve it before turning it back around to start over again in the second half instead of going to b flat minor we now switch it up to b flat seven and instead of going up to the b major we're now resolving to the e flat minor so what's happening there you could think of this in the key of g flat major and if you thought of it that way then the chords in the beginning would be two a flat three b flat to the four which would be b major seven this is all if we were thinking of it in g flat major but instead i think what we're really kind of thinking of this as is e flat minor so rather than that being home we're calling this home and the way we're getting there is we're we're taking this sort of this feel and instead of using it that way the next time around we're changing it to just be five one hear the five one there right and then we're using a turn around which is super nice that's d flat minor 7 to the c 7 sharp 9 flat 13 back to the beginning that chord progression is really nice [Music] ah [Music] something like that but that's that's great [Music] all right so that one let's see so it sounds like a a really nice lush a flat minor seven down to the g flat major seven [Music] oh and then we have this nice transition that's cool oh that's really cool all right check it out so we have [Music] that's really cool and so i don't i don't know if that's the full thing i don't know what else there is to it but what we're looking at right there is really nice so we start off here and then we switch gears [Music] basically this is kind of the function of it and you expect it to go here [Music] so you can but instead of going there we go right we go up to the d flat now that's called a backdoor two five where you do a two five but instead of resolving it to the one [Music] you go and then up a whole step right so you're kind of getting to that one chord of the d flat from the back door it's you know whatever basically the function is it's a two-five that is deceptive it's not you don't expect it to go where it does and that's what he's doing here [Music] that's slick and right back into it now i'm kind of cutting out the two there i don't know if that's the function of what he was trying to do here but i kind of dig that sound where we just use this as like a sus kind of sound oh it's so this is beautiful [Music] use it for almost anything you want oh that's fantastic [Music] oh that's cool that's um so that's a wow that's a really not super commonly played jazz standard called emily i'm impressed like genuinely yeah that's i mean i don't even really i'd have to read that tune i i kind of vaguely know it um but that is not a common tune at all it's a beautiful beautiful song you know something i'm going to play through this tune for you really quick because it's a beautiful song um i'll put a timestamp right here in case you uh want to just skip ahead to the next commentary reaction whatever portion uh but yeah let's see if we can do this i i don't think i've ever played this tune through fully [Music] so [Music] [Music] a little rough but i kind of get the idea that's a beautiful song [Music] oh [Music] [Music] oh yeah yeah holy let's just do a quick uh chord progression here what do we got [Music] yeah yeah [Music] all right all right wait wait wait hold on sorry [Music] oh man so okay it's the same chord progression two times wow this is really great okay so it's like a 2 without the 5 this is going 2 to the 1 in g major oh man okay let's okay sorry um i keep forgetting to explain what's going on so a minor seven functions as the two of g major seven which is the home base here and now we're going to the four dominant with a sharp 11 [Music] and we're going back door again without the two so this is just the five back door to land on d major seven whoo and then we set it we set the uh we set it back up to go around again with just a five e back to a minor so e functions as the five of a minor so that's it we have a minor [Music] g major seven c7 sharp 11 d major 7 e which i'm using in this case because i heard him kind of doing this so it's like an e dominant with a sharp 9 flat 13. back around so anyways yeah there's a there's a ton of stuff out here of charlie playing some really really great stuff and i just wanted to kind of take apart some of it and see and see what it was all about um and because i've just been i've been super impressed checking some of this stuff out i mean the feel is great the where it's coming from harmonically is fantastic and and it's a ton of fun to listen to so it's a great thing to have people in the mainstream who have this kind of background who have this kind of education who can play like this because the more we are able to sort of bring that those bring those elements into mainstream music the more people are going to get to discover the things that we all love to listen to that maybe aren't as popular so that's it thanks for checking out the video once again thank you so much to ridgewallet for sponsoring please check out the link in the description you're helping out the channel a ton by doing so i very much appreciate it thank you for watching and we will see you next time [Music] hmm
