I'll always remember the first clip where he played Yonkers. That's when I legitimately realized how cool he was. But then again I've always loved the chords in the Wolf intro. That's when I realized how talented he was.
@@okeyylol lmao he got it confused with the other clip of him playing Yonkers (which he released around the same day as Yonkers) the first clip is from his Pitchfork interview.... an unreleased song titled "Cool Fat Drunk Bitch"
It's interesting how self taught people who don't know theory can end up being the most prolific songwriters or players. I hope to be on Tyler's level soon 🤘🏾😁
He probably knows basic theory, but yes this is true. The Beatles for example were all self-taught musicians who didn't know much theory, but could write amazing songs.
When he plays piano, it sounds so powerful. I don’t know what it is that he does, maybe is the fact that some of his chords have a little bit of dissonance in it which makes it ring through the air, but it’s so much different from any piano piece I’ve ever heard. I play piano but I wish I could play it the same way he can. I try to mimic what he does but my power level is too low compared to his. Listening to him play piano makes me feel like I’m going back in time and my memories are passing me by and i re experience every single emotion that went through me on that given day. No one will see this comment but my friend isn’t picking up the phone for me to discuss this with him so this is my way of compensating
El Moist Taco I’m 17 too! I just had my grade 8 exam today, I don’t even know if I passed but everyone is still really proud of me :) at least I can repeat in a few months if I failed haha. Oh well, onto bigger and better things now
@@gianluc2987 bruh who cares Sometimes people are indeed pianists. He probably knew what a major 7 chord is just as I know and just as I’m sure you know
hes one of the rapper and producer that actually produce, he creates his beat from scratch and he actually knows how to play the piano and compose and then rap...his songs arent just typical shitty migos but its an upgrade for contemporary rnb (im grade 8 and i absolutely have no talent in piano, plain forced out)
ava c LMAOO I got 8x the first time bc I had a panic attack and then 101 for the second one I also have to deliberately apply twice bc I know I'll fail the first grade 8 lmao
omg tell me about it, i thought i was going to have an asthma attack lmao. i don't know why i'm so worried, i have two more chances to repeat before the syllabus changes, but i've never filed a piano exam before. i can't stop thinking about it and i hate how long the results take to come out :///
@@joefitzgerald2762 listen to tyler play EARFQUAKE or I THINK those aren’t the same chords over and over. Tyler primarily uses Maj 7 as you can clearly see
so fucking talented. It seems like he taught himself how to play and that is fucking inspiring. One of the reasons im learning it all by myself. Legend
Its really not difficult at all. Self teaching isnt impressive either, a lot of people do that. He plays the same chords over and over again, nothing impressive.
Exactly what I was thinking, Tyler and Pharrell both like to use a lot of 7 chords in their production. I like using variation and extended harmony in my songwriting. It adds more spice than just basic triads
I used to watch this video every day, when I came home from school freshman year and I wanted to be just like him. I taught myself and now can play, have made music and will to college for tech and production. I want to have the professional knowledge of tech and production as well as the knowledge I’ve built myself over the years of high school to maybe one day meet greats like himself. He’s been such an inspiration and these videos were a big part of that. Either that or I’m gonna be a crappy producer never makin it anywhere😄 prolly the latter.
Oh my god he's amazing with piano,I hope he keeps a recorder with him all the time so at least he can collect them..and like make a whole piano album..
Funny how y'all just turn into Music Theory experts in the comments lmao. But honestly, i think that Tyler has a very distinct style for whenever he plays piano, he really just plays whatever *feels* good to him. Which is why he uses all these 7ths chords and smashes the keyboard like hell, because he wants it to be big and powerful, also all the pianos he plays are always slightly out of tune, and that makes the sound feel more unique

He's got so much talent and he's self taught
And he's adorable wtf
Ikr!
Greta Henry kinda reminds me of myself. i love his style of play alot.
nellek970 Eh, I can see he didn't. I can almost play like him and I've never been instructed. I taught myself and did my own research.
he said that he learned piano and guitar himself ina interview
who else thinks tyler should launch a piano jazz/neo-soul album? this shit's fire af
im with ya would be fuckin fire
No one
That’s called flower boy

Flower Boy is more than just piano and vocals

What song is that he’s playing ?
@@jeremiah-Boredom my good sir 😎
what song was it tho
@@PoloGeeb Boredom
Boredom is my favorite track by tyler the creator
Honestly, jazz chords on a slightly detuned piano is one of the most beautiful things I’ve heard, it just gives it more life and color and vibes
It's interesting how self taught people who don't know theory can end up being the most prolific songwriters or players. I hope to be on Tyler's level soon 🤘🏾😁
I reckon he definitely knows theory.
He probably knows basic theory, but yes this is true. The Beatles for example were all self-taught musicians who didn't know much theory, but could write amazing songs.
being able to play 7th chords in repetitive patterns does not make you a prolific player, and it doesn’t mean you know anything about music theory.
@@jonathanDstrand I mean, his songwriting is good you can't deny that. Whether he knows theory or not, the man can write one hell of a chuune.
Conor Dennis theory will be the death of me
Remember this os self taught, no classes. So if you hear him, you can make music too if you keep the practice hard enough.

This dude really creates his own universe with these chords. They all exist in some sort of narrative it feels like.

calling this a symphony what an insult LOOOL
