Jazz Pianist Reacts to Charlie Puth - Boy

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.

one of my all time favorites of Charlie's!

Thank to melodyne auto tune for,voice😢

Dude! You are actually an unbelievable piano player! Very talented indeed! Keep up the amazing work my guy!

Try if you leave me now, the song right before this one on the album

what happened to the start of the video?

This is probability the most complex Charlie Puth song that exists

Killer tune!

Beautiful

Should have been called "Jazz Pianist Analyzes" a Charlie Puth. Very educational (and fun) nonetheless. Thank you, Charlie Cornell. And analysis that even Vadimir Puthin would approve of!

You should review Jon Bellion's music. It's not Jazzy, but it's really cool musically.

Specifically Hand of God.

I also find Röyksopp's music to be fairly unconventional (in terms of musical predictability)

Peter Parker on piano?!

As a bassist, once you mention Adam Neely, I knew I was in the right place.

Could it happen not even Charlie can play that run? (Used a DAW)?

Seems all Charie songnis so unoque and musically creative. How is it possible?

him and john mayer jamming on this song is a great watch

i've seen that Gbmaj7 written as a Db/Gb
idk i've never played it or gone to find it on the guitar

This song is Hilarious (i'm not talking about the actual Hilarious Charlie Puth song)

Dude, Puth's real name is Charles too, its so confusing when people in the comments mention only "Charles" lol

Random idea but you should check out one of Nikolai Kapustin's Jazz preludes. Kapustin was a russian jazz/classical composer and his music is insane. Just a thought :)

YESSSS Boy was the song that got me hooked on charlies music. it's such a good song. I started listening through all of his music after hearing that one. and I still have it on repeat almost daily on my way to work

I really appreciate this video. Can you analyze Charlie Puth's other songs like this please? Thank you!

The truth when you hear only the starting of the song , without the beat, you become totally confused of the beat sometimes🙃🙃

thanks for being kind enough to write out those notes for us 😂

That Berklee College of Music influence, you just pick up & absorb ideas from all the other crazy talented kids....

Just love you Cornell. thats all i have.

Thanks so much for the solo transcription on screen! Saved me about 35+ listens

So, basically he starts going: iim7/9, iiim7/9, IV+7; then IV+7, V, vim7.
Next: iim7, I+7, Vsus4 ; vim7, I, IV+7.
Am i right?

You gotta react to the phat improv over this he did with John Mayer

Add4

God I love this chord but it goes against all traditional western theory about how major 3rds clash with perfect 4ths

I think why it sounds good is because it's kinda related in a way. For example

Cadd4 CEFG
Fmaj9 FACEG

It's basically the bottom chord without the third

Analyse something by Keith Jarret or Michel Petruciani

Many of your audience might not even know who they are!

That bassline is 🔥

Nicest earworm I've had in my head for a really long time! And now I'm really hoping that Those People who insist that a song can't be good/sell unless it's I-V-vi-IV will listen and be enlightened. Thanks for dissecting it!

Charles: 17 tries later

Me: 17 days later.

Hello Charles!
For the first 6 chords, we have indeed a Db/F, but for the 6 next chords, I really hear a F minor this time. I think that Charlie switches between those two colours. Anyway, I love your videos! Keep jazzing the house!! ^^
See you soon!

I think "Mr. Invisible" by Thank You Scientist would make for a FASCINATING breakdown

Diatonic just means you’re only using notes in the major scale. In this case it’s D flat.

Thanks a ot for your funny and useful musical explanation Mr. Charles Cornell. Wish you health nad luck in New Year 2022 and more energy to produce more video like that.

Didn't know this about myself, but I actually kinda dig when Charles' playing overlaps Charlie's playing. Like, it sounds kinda interesting. Maybe I could take advantage of that.
