Hey hi here's another Charlie Puth video only this time I figured we should finally maybe actually look at his actual music. Also please check out the merch if you're interested I'll love you forever, but also probably still will if you don't so that's ok too.
This is why I love Charlie Puth's music. He brings his jazz knowledge into the mainstream pop and slowly spoils us with more enriching sounds not commonly found in pop.
Yes I agree, but I feel like a lot of music is as good as this song, but just gets written off as pop. There's some good stuff on the radio! **and a lot of bad stuff too lol
@@NoahStolee For sure, pop has been pretty awesome lately. During his #togetherathome IG live, even Charlie seemed super stoked to see/hear cool stuff happening in some of the radio hits. An example being Doja Cat - Say So haha
Charles and Charlie HAVE TO meet. It's essential to everyone's well being. Wow guys, thanks for all the likes. I never expected to get anywhere near 500. Also Charles, you should listen to Charlie's arrangement of "In my blood" by Shawn Mendes. I think u will like it.
Sydney Dumoit Actually anyone can do what Charles does believe it or not, it just takes a shit ton of practice not perfect pitch. Basically in relative pitch, instead of hearing the notes as its specific note, people with relative pitch can hear notes based on its function of the key its in. So for example even though he cant hear that a certain note is a C he can tell that its the 4th degree in the scale because of intervals. So with a really good relative pitch it can be pretty much as good as perfect pitch! Ive been playing piano for a couple years and have the ability to play things I hear as well (not as quick as charles of course but Im definitely getting there)
You know Charles is a Jazz musician, when he mentions that the chords are diatonic while diatonic chords are almost the only ones you hear in pop songs😂
Charlie's use of space to compliment the sound is amazing. He doesn't play a very busy solo and it really helps listeners, especially when they aren't as appreciative of really technically complex solos.
“Boy” was legit my fave song on this album-that groovy syncopation, the playful melody over that awesome chord progression... hats all the way off to him for this banger! 🙌🏾
Thank you so much for this. Being in the "pop" sphere I think that charlie puth is often passed over for his musicianship. This song has always been my favorite on the album because of the incredible level of detail put into into it. Thank you for making a video that showcases this. Charlie puth is one of the rare artists in the modern music industry that still cares for the craft of composition despite it being for mainstream consumption. This song showcases his true understanding of jazz and pop musical elements as well as his understanding of music in general.
Have you ever thought of getting a loop pedal or loop station of some sort to play chords or stuff and then add notes or other things over it while explaining? May not work for you, just a suggestion. You could always try and see if it fits. Anyway love your stuff, keep it up!
This video right here one of the best videos on youtube for me. Such energy, technicality, details, excitement and it's modern and fun to watch. Well done Charles!
Honestky youre still an underrated youtube channel. Not only have you helped me learn more piano but your content is enjoyable as well which is a bonus on top of the amount of skill it takes to get to your level of music theory and the piano itself. Thanks again for another great video, keep it up man!
This is my favorite song of Charlie's. First time I heard it, I think I hit the replay at least 200 times...yes, all day. Some more the next day as well.
I've been listening to Voicenotes since it came out and it's so nice to hear a new perspective about the other tracks besides the title. Also, Charles is mindblowingly good at picking up the jazz solo! I couldn't even imitate that in my head
I love how I understand absolutely nothing about Jazz music theory or how it works, but it's really addicting to watch him being himself and enjoying the chord progressions that I don't understand about.
I was watching a video (for the 15th time) of you breaking down Charlie's piano playing literally about 4 hours ago. Said at the end: "OMG if he would only listen to BOY." Prayers answered.
I always love listening to you break down components of songs! And hearing what you’re jazzed about (heh) and just things you find interesting or funky is really cool!
This was amazing, dude! Ever since Voicenotes came out 2 years ago, I have always gravitated back to this song because of its sick groove and overall phenomenal sound production, and now, two of the best jazz-tubers have mentioned and done an analysis of the dang song. Although many of Puth's songs are great in their own right, this song deserves this special treatment more than anyone, and I would hardly recommend any other of his songs more than this one. Keep up with your great content!
Bringing up a new channel in the crowd and bringing entertaining and quality educational content to the table at the same time is pretty darn hard. You, sir, are officially nailing it.
I had a enormous grin on my face the whole time I was watching this video. Such a great song and a great analysis. I love your smart, joyful approach and I feel like I learn something from every one of your videos!
Yaasss!! Thank you for your analysis! Love this song. I remember having the same reaction you had listening to “Boy” for the first time, realizing what I thought was the beat was not the beat but actually the rhythmic motif. Everything about this song is just perfect. Love it!! Thanks for sharing!
Charles that was amazing! Thank you so much! I'm definitely gonna be using that 'same melody over different chords' concept in my songs from now on! I had never thought about it that way :)
Been a Charlie Puth fan for a long time and also being a musician, I aspire to be like quite similar to Charlie musically, love when you post vids with Charlie in and breaking down his songs like chord progressions, tempos and just helping me a lot more in the music theory side.. Thanks a lot for that and love/support these types of music breaking like contents!
You actually explain how to play songs better than most videos that are actual tutorials. I think your camera setup also helps because we can clearly see your hands. Thanks a lot!
Charlie Puth perfectly infuses the best elements of a bunch of genres into one.. Pop melodies, jazz chord progressions, funk inspired bass lines and R&B inspired drum patterns...this is why we love him! No one else does it like he does
One of my favourite things about your videos is seeing how excited you get when first hearing a fantastic piece of music - it's pure unadulterated joy. Sadly, there's a lot of jealousy and backbiting in the music industry, so seeing your genuine appreciation for a fellow musician's work is really refreshing. Don't ever stop being you!
Thank you for appreciating Charlie!! Also, thank you for being the amazing musician you are. Lastly, thank you for reviewing my favorite Charlie Puth song.
Charles! Dude, your listening skills are amazing. Have you used any specific ear training exercises or routines? Or would you say your ability to quickly discern what you're hearing is a result of doing music at a high level for many years? For melodic lines, do you hear intervals or do you know the pitches after establishing the key? I'm working on building my skills and I'm curious how it works for you. Love your content!
Hey! I'm 9 months late with a comment, but I think a LOT of Charles' listening skills are coming from experience. When he finds the first note or chord, he can pretty reliability find the next note/chord he hears, by referencing what he hears against what he played before and which note/chord is most likely to follow it. (He explains this sorta in the Charlie Puth 'perfect pitch' video.)
Listens through the solo part probably less than 50 times and and totally nails it. I've really gotten into Charlie's music the last couple years after realizing how much of a musical enigma he is in modern pop music. "Boy" is one of my favorite songs of his. Just such a cool song musically
So great to hear Charles pulling apart my favorite Charlie Puth song (That's putting it above so many that blow me away), BOY! When it first came out, I kept saying, "why isn't this a single……why isn't the world being exposed to the FULL CHARLIE PUTH?". Obvious! A bit too sophisticated for his pop audience. Still, that may be underestimating others who listen to this genre hungering for something as amazing as this! But most of all it's great to hear someone as talented as Cornell singing the praises of my favorite musician!
I’m kinda conflicted about Charlie. I think his musicianship is fantastic (obviously) and that it shows in the production and instrumentation of his songs, but I just feel that his lyrics are.....well, kinda basic. He’s talked before about how his lyric-writing is “literal” and “straightforward”....I just think the juxtaposition does himself a disservice and that some more lyrical creativity would take his music up a level!
he did say that everything he writes about is stuff that he experienced before tho, so I think that, even if it is kinda basic or mainstream, at least he's talking from his heart.
I was actually just about to write something similar. I feel his music is really mature, his singing really good but his lyrics make him seem very young, kinda Britney-ish. But whatever works I guess.
Pop music must be simple in order to resonate with as many broad audiences as possible. It’s part of why senorita became super popular despite not really meaning anything.
I think a large part of that really is intentional, Charlie probably isn't as much a lyrical genius as he is a producer and musician. Therefore I feel he gives more liberty to the music itself. I know he is a competent lyricist, but I feel that it's not as much an expression of his creative output as much as the rest of the music. Of course industry pressure is always there, hit songs don't get popular for their complexity, they do because of how much people have heard it, how 'fresh' it is to the eyes of the media, and how much marketing is put into it. The more complex the lyrics are the more people 'seem' to be alienated by it or dismiss it since at the end of it all, nearly all hit songs are songs you play at the club, in the car, or alone in your room because you're completely tuned out of the lyrics regardless. Of course this is not to say that lyrics with a larger or more-complex story behind them don't get awards or become hits, they do, but the complexity in the lyrics is usually a surprisingly-small factor of its success, but rather something people and the media throw around to praise this song whether or not its lyrics are truly meaningful.
This song and analysis brings me back to that time I went to his concert when he was touring in Canada and he totally had that jazz solo put there so he could just riff off whatever he felt like. I'm pretty sure he didn't riff what he wrote in the song, but it sounded great and I was so impressed how quickly a stadium went from hyped pop concert into a classy jazz concert because of his jazzy solo. He just went off on his keyboard and it was amazing.
Id love a review of some Anderson.Paak music. Def mainstream but still thought provoking and jazzy at times plus his musicianship is top tier as well. Love the vids man btw!!

Although I've watched so many of his videos, I'm still shocked on how he can get the chords right so quickly! 😱
He's part of the Perfect Pitch Gang. I'm talking about Puth here.
Matthew Habaradas He actually doesnt have perfect pitch
@@kimmyjootron If he doesn't have perfect pitch...then I'll never be able to get it ;-;
He has very good relative pitch

4:45 only a real jazz musician plays a minor second and goes "that's a nice sound"
Only a real jazz musician plays a Bmb5#13add4sus2/Fmaj#9b11add13 and goes "that's a nice sound"

I bet every time Charlie Puth does something he's secretly thinking:

This song was on repeat for me when I checked out this album, voicenotes. It's a really likable album with a lot of re-play value
This is my favorite song of Charlie's. First time I heard it, I think I hit the replay at least 200 times...yes, all day. Some more the next day as well.

I an an Indian and a huge fan of Charie Puth, He is the most unconventional talent I've seen in music.
I like how you made your hair look like the The Great Wave off Kanagawa for this video.
Love that bass line when it powers into the song with the drums.
His whole álbum Voicenotes is completly amazing! I love your videos so so much ❤

10:43 I have to learn this solo at any cost; even if it takes me 17 more months or years
You're so humble for a man with an amazing talent!!
This is my favorite song out of this album tbh the chord progression is just shining.

Kinda sad we didn't get to see you react to the Charlie/Mayer Boy jam here too

5:27 The dood is NICE WITH IT!!
Charles talking about music works my brain in a way that I haven’t used in a while. I need a master class or something from you, my man.
So many thanks for this lesson, Charles!!! This was very awesome
5:50 His thoughts seem like they would be "perfection"
3:04 - The sum of all Morten Lauridsen's entire compositional output in one chord
I understand this on a spiritual level.
4:27 - then you get 85% of Eric Whitacre!
You never disappoint my perfect pitch from being constantly engaged to your chord progression breakdowns ♥️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Man, thank you so much Charles. You have helped expand my musical tastes. Who knew that there was such great "pop" music out there!
Thank you for appreciating Charlie!! Also, thank you for being the amazing musician you are. Lastly, thank you for reviewing my favorite Charlie Puth song.
"How Long" from same album is more conventional but still beautifully arranged and funky as hell. You Puth me on to him big time.
