I call that last one, “Mister Rogers Watches Snow Fall on the Neighborhood As It Slowly Becomes Rain”

[BambooShinobi]

Charles: "Just be willing to sound bad" slaps hands on keys 6:36
Me: That was a kind of a juicy chord though

[CommanderPiglet]

Level one: no book
Level two: real book
Level three: forgot real book

I could listen to him play for hours! It's like those 'chill' or 'study' hour long video's.

[elephantanious]

Thank you for reiterating the fact that improvisation takes skill and isn't easy. People used to ask me to improvise as a beginner and I was like 😳

[lunicium]

I could listen to an entire album of that last piece. I didn't want it to end. Truly beautiful stuff, man.

[balintlauko]

For a million subscribers you should release a full album, including maybe a couple of collabs or just simply songs you would like us to listen to.
or say thank you a million times in every key

You forgot about cursed level 4: nontraditional instrument use. Bang the side of that keyboard. Scream intermittently.

When you said 'even if you're not subscribed, I still appreciate every one of you', I was expecting the 'if you're not, you should sub right now...' but it never came. I respect you very much Charles. Congrats.

Edit: God dammit right when I unpaused the video you said that. But I still respect you.

[dladmsdn]

that level 3 improv was like a beautiful conversation. as soon as charles hit the notes, the notes sung back to him, to which charles then responded--and the cycle continued.

[BobbyBattista]

The holidays are still bouncing around the mind @ 9:19, 10:13 "Here we are as in olden days" :)

[josephlee]

never heard a youtuber say “thanks you even if you aren’t subscribed” shows the passion he has for this much respect💯

[ominouscry]

Man, level 3 thoooo, that melody was beautiful and reminded me of rain, especially the beginning

[ckextreme]

Pianist Charles makes a drummer face when he improves.

[lukasleherbauer]

10:40 that sounded soo beautiful it was absolutely amazing sand satisfying
