Have some and they are awesome!!!
Charles, you really have to cover the song "The Fatherless And The Widow" by Sixpence None The Richer. It would be epic.
Have you tried the multipoint pairing at all?
@@Finvaara What are you talking about?
@@Reed-Publications One of the features he mentioned for the earbuds was multipoint pairing, allowing connection to multiple devices. I just wanted to know if he had tried it, so I replied to the pinned advertisement comment about the earbuds, which seemed logical to me.
'Sounds of Silence' was my graduation song in 1970. This is the most beautiful version I have ever heard.
It’s definitely up there with Disturbed’s cover. They both beat the original.
@@SuziQ.Agreed
May I suggest Antoine Boyer's version ?
@@SuziQ.True 🤟
@@CapitaineAdHoc Pas mal le pseudo, un mélange de latin et de tintin ? Du latintin ?
The short scale acoustic 6 string piccolo bass was a nice touch!
mind blowing instruments
Yes, yes, but most of us miss the regular BASS!
Yeah, one of those things. lol
OMG
😂
Music teacher: What's up with your bass? It doesn't have any frets? Oh well. I'll let it slide.
Good one man
Doh!
Du dun tss
I love how Charles is slowly becoming a multi instrumentalist genius composer, it’s so fun to see him progress through the years! It’s so inspiring, it shows that even the best can be better than they were before. Cheers, Charles!
Bro, anyone who can play either instrument at his level can easily play the other at at least a semi-professional level. He's likely good at piano too I'd guess.
He was always there.
What sounds inspire you?
@@selimcelik3494 Didn't he start with piano?
@@Fastvoice yea he started with classical piano
whose up for a charles + jacob collier super group?
The way you articulate harmonics on both the fretless and acoustic make for a really evocative piece! Chilling as always Charles \m/
harmonics are such a cheatcode for string instruments... everything just sounds better with em
I think Paul Simon would be proud to have written a song that can sound this beautiful. Gorgeous arrangement, perfect execution, great respect for the source material, and unbelievable artistic ability on top. This is what unique talent and hard work looks like, and we're all enriched to bear witness. Thank you Charles!
A wonderful version. Thank you.
I love that you kept the vocal harmonies in your version. I really shouldn't have been surprised that a maestro would manage that, but this is, indeed, hauntingly good. Thank you for posting this fuller version!
Before youtube; how many other deep feeling, talented people sat on the edge of their beds expressing themselves through playing music that we shall never know about ? This young man is very fortunate indeed.
I think about that often. Imagine how many amazing songs from the 60s, 70s, 80s 90s and so on that could have been major hits but were never heard by anyone but the author.
Probably my favourite song of all time. Absolutely beautiful rendition!
Finally, been waiting for you to do a full cover of this song, your fretless bass sound is just so beautiful, I could listen to it for hours. ❤
how you can make such an Ode to 4 + 20 is simply beyond me. you are a true Legend.
I started crying hearing this because it's so well done and beautiful! No one, and I mean no one, plays the bass guitar better than you as far as I'm concerned.
I'd like to see Charlie actually having a bass-off with Mark King.
Quite frankly, that was an absolute masterpiece, both in terms of your playing and the composition of that piece!!
You still surprise and impress us on a regular basis! Outstanding - as always!!
I am digging the longer videos. This was a great composition. The fretless bass works really well with the vocal harmony.
I had no idea bass guitar could ever sound like that. Charles is one of my favorite musicians.
Simon & Garfunkel never sounded better. This song came out when I was about 5. I remember hearing it on the radio and by the time I was on elementary school it was one of favorites. As I grew older I started to really listen to the lyrics. One of the best songs of the 60's and still makes we think of society and the 'what ifs' - Charles once again you have blown me away.
Acoustic guitar and fretless bass's collab is gorgeous
please more acoustic guitar videos... 😊
Virtuosity should never end in itself. Love the way you are using your virtuosity in a melodic song. Paul Simon & Art Carfunkel would love it too, i'm sure !
Absolutely fantastic rendition! Your control of harmonics on both acoustic and fretless is incredible. So well composed, played and mastered!! Thanks!
This is the first time I've sat through the ad segment, and I can't believe the amount of dunking on guitar that I have been missing.
Tell me guys!
Am i the only one who think Charles is underated on RUclips...
Less than 2 millions sub...
He deserves at least 9 millions and more...
Let us help him achieve that...
I absolutely love it. Could listen to it looping for hours, it's just perfection as always. Thanks Charles 🙂
On god this is what I’ve needed ever since you did that short a while back.
So glad you did a full rendition of this song. Was really moved by the one you did in a short a while ago!
Cant get enough of theses fretless bass slide harmonics!
I love the harmonics! I've recently been working on them myself and it's really cool to see them in action!
Good Lord, the most beautiful rendition of The Sounds of Silence I’ve ever heard…totally gave me the chills. You are absolutely amazing. I could listen all day❤️
WOW!! Even S&G didn't perform this song this well. Bravo, Charles!!👏👏👏
The first time I heard this song was when my first grade teacher played it for the class. Back then it was on a vinyl 33 (LP). That was 1970!
This was so awesome man! I absolutely love this song, and your rendition is beautiful. Thank you, and keep it up!
This song could be beautiful in any kind of version but this one was absolutely gorgeous!
Agree to disagree, there are some pretty sad versions out there, unfortunately. Disturbed, not me.
I have heard many of your pieces, yet you still left me in awe. Absolutly wonderful.
There's some amazing talent on RUclips, and Charles is right up there with the best.
As a cellist of nearly 6 years (not an extremely long time, but it's 40% of my life,) I love your fretless bass renditions. It would be so nice to hear Humoresque No. 7 by Dvorak on this instrument, if you could spare the time.
But anything you play is just fine!
I love how the bass plays out of my left speaker and the acoustic plays from the right. Nice touch.
OMG you play so beautiful that acoustic guitar 🎵
Charles always delivers, if someone else was putting out this quality I'd be floored. To think we can listen to a video like this and practically have come to expect it here 👌🏻
Paul Simon was one of my life long music habits. Most known for his fantastic lyrics, he also picked some mean tones as well. He was always happy to see another artist trying to better him; I think he would have liked your take on it. Awesome!
The song 🎵 is the title sounds of silence. Sort of like eyes wide shut!!! Beautiful job!!!!
Nice clickbait, there's no silence in the video
Guess Simon and Garfunkel were ahead of their time 😅
That's a good one 😂
The sound of violence.
Like that time I went to the air and space museum. You could barely move around, there were so many planes and rockets in the way.
@@Sonny_McMacssonI don't hear any violins.
"So much to, I'll just put this on in the background". Nope, impossible - demands your full attention. Beautiful.
Sometimes things move us. I'm in that space where this just happened to move me. God bless you, Charles. Fine job
made me cry
Insanely beautiful rendition!!!
What a stunning rendition of a timeless classic...you are indeed the world's greatest bassist, without doubt
So inspiring for my own bass playing! Even though this blows away anything I've ever done, it keeps me motivated! Excellent cover!
I love all you slappidy slap content, but the more emotional side of your music touches me a lot as well! This one might be my favorite along with Mad world you released some years ago ;)
This was an easy job for Mr Berthoud. He could make a phone directory book sound wonderful if described on his bass.
Very nice. I can't think of another single person who can perform such a beautiful duet.
Charles, you are an absolute god on the strings. The only person I consistently watch musically. Keep up the incredible work fella!
BRAVO!! Another masterpiece. This is one of my all-time favorite songs, and this one tops the list!
Better than the original, by far!
Well done on this great display of musicianship, love this!
Sound of Silence is a song I usually don't like to listen to very much, but that so beautiful, I enjoyed it tremendously!
I would have never dreamed that song would get more awesome first Simon and Garfunkel Paul Simon wrote then Disturbed blew it away now with Charles you just blew it away again that was beautiful man hats off bass man
That was about the most beautiful piece I've ever heard! Just beautiful! Thanks for giving us a great way to end a day!
Yay you finally did it! Whether it was because you saw my comment or not, I love it! Now make a version without the in-video add so I can add it to my playlist!
A beautiful rendition that not only does justice to the original, but reminds me that silence is not always a good thing, and not to be passive but but proactive.
I can relate; when I am doing chores around the kitchen, you will often see me putting a disappointing guitar in the trash bin as well. Life is too short.
Soo beautifull and pleasant to hear it from you playing it on the fretless bass
Those harmonic pinches ... on a fretless bass ... whaaaaaaaaat ... Charles this is stunning xxx
Insanely good.
Thank you Simon and Garfunkel for this masterpiece, and thank you Charles for this masterful cover
Very nice. I'm not entirely sure I've seen you with an acoustic short scale 6 string piccolo bass before, but I'm all for it!
So fkn beautiful version! Thanks for sharing your art with the world! ✊🏽
What a beautiful sound that instrument makes. It reminds me of the cello I played in high school, but much, much better.
Edited to add that you're a very accomplished musician as well. I enjoyed it.
This is one of my favorite videos you have made.
Amazing as always. Gave me chills. The bass is stunning too😊
Wow, I love that fretless bass!!! You are such an inspiration for me to keep playing. Although not like that yet, I will get there some day.
Amazing work on the 6-string fretless bass and 6-string fretted acoustic piccolo bass! 👏
Every new video proves me wrong, as every time I think I’ve heard the best of Charles Berthoud!! ❤
I love the piccolo bass on this one! Acoustic too!
A beautiful rendition... and, of course, it's Charles. Well done
La tua capacità di essere estremamente melodico anche negli assoli è eccezionale.... Una canzone già bellissima l'hai resa indescrivibile nella profondità dell'emozione senza parole... Eccezionale come sempre
my uncles funeral song. forever everlasting love. u have inspired me to do so much in my life aswell as take up bass guitar. thank u
Mi amigo. You are truly one of a kind.
We need more people like you in the world who can appreciate the wonders of music. Best of success and wish you the best.
Abrazo Mexicano!!!!!!
🤘🏻🇲🇽🤘🏻🇲🇽🤘🏻🇲🇽🤘🏻🇲🇽🤘🏻
Great feel for the original S & G, while making it your own, Charles, and thank you for it.
Good Lordie Lou! Your arrangement of this is actually moving! So talented!
Absolutely amazing technically, brilliant musically. Well done yet again Charles.
Great arrangement. The harmonics are otherworldly!
The 6-string Acoustic Bass sounds also heavenly in collab to the fretless! ❤
It's a piccolo bass
Hearing the song in the perfection you played it makes me feel like it wasn't made for Bass.
Brilliant arrangement! Lovely contrasts between verses.
No need to put electric guitar to thrash can. I can give it a caring home in Finland.
I need this on Spotify, its so beautifully majestic ❤
Thank you so much for doing it based on the original. This sounds amazing!!
Love the additional layer! Well done sir!
I love this fretless songs...... could listen for hours. You do a great job!
Great arrangement! This reminds me of the original recording of S of S by Simon and Garfunkel on the 'Wednesday Morning 3AM album'. Like this, that original version has no drums or electric guitar piece, which makes it sound hollow and haunting.
I didn’t like this song too much since I’ve listened it played for you. Incredible. Amazing. Thanks for your talent and musicianship !!
Sound of Silence is amazing no matter who or what plays it, but this bass version is certainly one of the more amazing versions of
I just lisening the original song of sound of silence, on this moment notification pop up and now seeing also another master piece.
Wish you could talk Pentatonix into recording this with you in thier own special way combined with yours. It’d be outta this world!!!!!
Absolutely blown away by this rendition
Insanely musical and brilliant bass playing to boot. Thanks Charles.
I've been following you way before you became popular Charles. You have limitless creativity throughout the years and skills unmatched by many. Thank you for those videos. I really liked some music you've done from music from video games. You'd add a massive crowd if you start off with Nobuo Uematsu 's Final fantasy music
Please make a frettless bass cover album, I'd have it on every night!
What a stunning rendition...i still believe you are the world's greatest bassist
Oh man, this must be one of your best ones! Incredible
You put the FUNK into Simon and GarFUNKel. 🤟🔥
Love how the bass is higher in the mix than guitar. Done right.
