This guy is the best bass player around. Yea he has mad talent, but I read somewhere that he puts in 12 hours of practice a day. It is absolutely paying off for him.
I would say 12 hours is not a big deal if you love playing
I heard his Stage name is Ling Ling and he practices 40 hours a day.
He's honestly the best I've ever seen in my life.
I hear this guy plays 25 hours a day, 8 days a week!
I heard he actually defeated Chuck Norris in a bass battle
I just got home from playing a 4 hour gig (on bass).. and what's the first thing I do. See what the mad scientist Chuck B is up to. This is absolutely FANTASTIC.
I can only aspire to reach his level. But I'll take it. If he doesn't inspire you nothing will.
Hope you had a good gig! And yeah I guess I am a mad scientist 🤣
@@CharlesBerthoud just wow man wow
Charles doesn't just cover the bass part, but also the guitars! Mind blown, again!!
Just Insane! He is awasome
If he did just the bass part. Sadly it wouldn’t be as enjoyable, cause even in polyphia, the bass does get stiffed a bit like other bands, not as much, but yeah. Still not the most Bass centered band when they have 2 of the best guitarists on the planet. So of course he covered the guitar part. Otherwise. It’d be pretty boring lol
did you honestly expect anything less from this man? I read the titles and my mind goes into reverse click bait mode and waits to be blown away. Phenomenal musician.
@@gropadooper8903 The bass is the best part of this song imo.
@@Immadinosaur92 i just expect great stuff out of him normally. Getting blown away every time takes energy. And I don’t have that energy to spare
Ive been a professional musician for over 47 years. I try to expose myself to many varieties of music and musicians. I can easily say that this man is in the same category of some of the greatest bass players around including Victor Wooten, Larry Graham, John Patitucci, Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller and many other greats.
Dang. John Paul Jones too?
@@TylerEubankyes
definitely hes going to be featured on upcoming polyphia songs
That was my first thought as well. They could make some interesting music together.
Probably at least a RUclips collab with him and Tim at some point
If not I’m gonna sue someone, idk who but someone
@@randomname191 Would be awesome, I think they're styles would mesh insanely well, heck if a band was ever gonna have two bassists, Polyphia is probably the group.
@@gt96g definitely. And since you mentioned two bassists, you should check out the omnific.
Every time I think Charles has reached his limits. He comes back with something like this. Just amazing. This guy is just too good. WOW
Yeah...
Then he went and got married, and earned the #GotLoveInMyLifeNow power up....
#WeAreBassicallyDoomed.
These Polyphia covers have to become a tradition
💯💯💯I am digging this new trend!
All those in favor say I!
He controlls it like its just a puppet
Do you mean he’s a… Master of Puppets?
Absolutely!!
When I was a kid listening to this level of mastery would lunge me straight into despair, as in "I'm never gonna play like this". Now, 30 years later and in a completely unrelated field of work, I just feel genuinely happy and privileged to witness virtuosos like Charles reaching and surpassing and reinventing and upgrading those levels.
This looks infinitely harder on bass with fingers than on guitar with pick, Charles needs to be featured in Polyphia
Not as hard as you think. Since tim uses hybrid picking, Charles' slap technique can mimic it
@@harper6692 but he play both bass and guitars part. If its that easy you should post your cover. What a clown lol
@@ggh_-ts6pn well that escalated quickly
@@harper6692 show us whatcha got champ
(In Minions Voice)
Fight Fight Fight!
XD
Chill people. Enjoy the clip.
You're the perfect person to cover this. Polyphia makes music that both showcases their skills and is also always musical and fun to listen to. You do the same!
As someone who's been playing guitar for 35 years, this seems a hell of a lot more difficult than the original on a guitar. Kudos dude. Holy shit.
It looks harder but it’s more likely to be around the same level of difficulty. He is using a 6 string bass, the same amount of strings a guitar has so it’s way easier. Also although it looks way harder cause there is more movement involved, It’s about the nature of the instrument itself, a bass doesn’t normally play Melodies like this, it certainly wasn’t made for it. So of course it looks hard. Not saying that Charles isn’t talented, this man is by far one of the best bass players in this generation, just remember, So are the Guitar players in Polyphia.
no one asked bud
That band is in need of a bassist of this caliber
@@gropadooper8903 I'm a better bassist than guitarist and I have to say absolutely no lol. Much rather pick and fret this on guitar than slap it on bass lol
@@motosessions nah man, Clay Gober is freaking awesome with his hybrid picking technique and his usage of silence (Clay A. too) and somehow underrated as hell
Ok. I've been playing bass since I was 13.
Pushing 50 now.
Charles always floors me, this video IN PARTICULAR is unbelievably amazing 🤩
I can't believe you played Scott's shredding solo with slaps. Bravo my guy
hes a genius. straight up I prefer this one to the original which is rare for a Polyphia cover to be more enjoyable than the song itself!
So, I realize that achieving mastery of an instrument doesn't mean being good in all the same ways as other masters, but I gotta tell you: I have never seen nor heard anyone play bass better than you, Charles. Your devotion to the craft bleeds through.
Except Mohini Dey, that is.
Immediately mind melting brilliance. Thank you Charles. I’m still waiting on an insane take of Jamiroquau in your own unique style.
Would love to hear his take on deeper underground
@@Rellik137 Or Mr. Moon
Time Won't Wait!
Of all the covers he's done, this is the one I just keep coming back to. I like the original by Polyphia, but the hook just sounds so sick on the bass.
you inspired me to order my first bass.. been playing drums for 28 years. now because of you Charles..... I'm coming to the dark side.
FUCK YEAH WELCOME
....I REALLY need to pick up my bass as well, don't I 😆🫡
@@TothLaszlo77 Well Hell Yea you do!! If a drummer is about to pick one up, a bass player has to pick theirs back up. 🤣😂😂
The traditionnal bass/drum or drum/bass switch !
As a drummer, starting bass was a hitch for some years, so glad I slapped it some years ago :)
Drummer to bass... you mean you're bringing the dark side over with you... You drummers are crazy... we know this ;)
and absolutely love it
Welcome! I'm proud of you 🔥
nahh he legit played the lead solo on bass IM DEAAD
dude is insane
I was just listening to this song on Spotify like 10 minutes ago... It's like you read my mind! This is absolutely insane!
Neurotica and Playing God are both awesome 🔥
omg he replied. the man himself (amazing cover btw, mind blowing!)
This video has brought the biggest smile to my face, I’ve always wanted to hear Polyphia with a bass that follows the lead instead of laying down sweet rhythms for the most part and you perfectly captured the sound!
Instant brain slime... imagine how Tim, Scotty, and the Clays must feel when they see Charles casually solo through a sampling of all thier most intricate lines 😳
They’re probably feeling just fine and maybe even a little flattered since music is art and not a sport or a competition.
It's more then Art.
It's also Soul.
Brain slime is the release of positive endorphins, and I would imagine being totally flattered and impressed! What a way to show the love as a fan 😎
@@spamspasm8183 too bad they are overrated musicians
@@ggh_-ts6pn wtf is your definition of overrated? They don’t have a grammy, not a single billboard hit, they don’t have over a million subs, they don’t play sold out stadium gigs as headliners. How tf are they overrated?
You'd think being so awestruck would get old. But nope. This is amazing.
yeah, that's the thing with good magicians
even if you know exactly how all the tricks work, when things gets performed so amazingly well, it never loses its magic :)
Just incredible. This has to be close to the limit of human capability
Feels like it 🤣 but maybe 50 years from now this will be easy/intermediate 😳
I've been thinking this exact same thing for like his past 20 videos
Read your comment back to yourself in Morgan Freeman's voice and it sounds even _closer_ to the limit of human capability. :)
@@CharlesBerthoud or maybe 50 years from now, people will say that there's some seriously amazing bass players around but the pinnacle was way back in the 20s with the legendary CB. no one since has come close.
You're a god man, accept it. Thank you for the awesome music, I listen to it every day
Charles is the definition of dedication and passion. There's tons of "casual pro" bass players out there that are pretty talented (like Davie504) that definitely can hang... but so few that put in the amount of work, practice, study, and dedication as Charles here. This man is a monster and his diet is bass. He's absolutely chewing up everything bass related with a ravenous hunger. I genuinely don't think there will ever be a piece of music he won't be able to play.
I think it’s just Charles that sounds insane at this point
Considering how Polyphia songs are written I feel like this does a great service to that. What I mean is that Tim finds a sound he likes and makes it work for guitar (simplified of course) and here Charles took something that sounds good and made it work for the bass.
I'm not a musician so forgive me if this is off...bass...
This song's almost got this popping sound to it when you hit each note, its really groovy!
When you think Charles has touched the limit of bass playing, there he goes and stretches it a bit further. Crazy!
all these years and charles still hasn’t just run his headphones cable behind his back. wonderful playing as always, an incredible master of your craft
At this point, he's clearly trolling everyone who's complained about the headphone cable since he had like 20k subscribers.
He *could* change, but where's the fun in that?
Never seen that tech with the third/ring finger hammer-on slap up-plucking on the minor triad, only seen it with first finger root position with the up-plucking on the octave. Charles not only can you do anything already done in a bass but so much more! What an inspiration!
Wow! That was amazing!! It's crazy to see how far you have come and even crazier to think about how much insanely hard work you have put in to get this far! I appreciate you sharing your gift, I hope you never lose interest.
Thanks!
@@CharlesBerthoud my pleasure!
I found these guys on the net wkend just gone, an blown away by just how far they have moved the goal posts of the music business. Even got guitar manufacturers to make completely new types.
Great job getting this down on your bass Charles.
💯💯💯🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
That is actually insane
That's some of the cleanest bass playing I've ever heard, bravo
Love your version Charles! You’re playing very insane! Yours is the Hardest NEUROTICA on BASS! And mine is the Simplified NEUROTICA on ACOUSTIC GUITAR! Hugs nice job 👍🏻
Laytar, I am also your subscriber. Also i subscribed to this guy charles, davie504,lucas brarr, bernth, dragon force and many more..
Nice to share a subscriber with such talented artists. ✨
Damn! He is just killing it here! I don’t think he even realizes how sick his riffs sound or how impressed we,the audience feels watching his fingers fly effortlessly ..cementing his status as You tubes bass god!
The way this man can replicate any style and is so accurate and at the same time fluid it's just astounding I don't understand it.
Charles is a Guthrie Govan of bass.
It’s called Musicality
This is what dedicating yourself to your craft looks like
Charles I think you might be the best bass player in the world. The versatility, style, dynamics, and precision you exhibit in your playing are all top notch and unequivocal...its a pleasure to watch you develop and continue to improve upon what was already unbelievable. How do you keep getting even better?!?!?! I'm wondering what these videos are gonna sound like in 5 years...insane dude...thank you!!!
That’s just mental!! The speed and dexterity!! Absolutely fantastic!
Charles is like Chuck Norris. He slaps the bass and the bass feels honored to have been slapped by him.
Combining my favorite bassist and favorite band… what a time to be alive
perfection at its finest. sound, technique, timing. brilliant.
Wow man, im basically speechless. You're definitely on a legendary level of bass playing
I would love to hear a collaboration record with you and Polyphia!
I showed my cousin one of these videos when he got discouraged after hitting a wall in his development. Told him that THIS is where practice can get you. Don’t give up. Everyone hits those walls, but you get through them.
Wow man, another spectacular performance 👏
I swear you're one of the best to ever pick up a bass. Love the polyphia covers
I'd like to thank RUclips for adding the "tap back 10 seconds" feature, which I just wore out when I heard that triplet pluckyslappydiggerty run for the first time.
Neo Berthoud has achieved bullet time. Holey moley.
Damn brother! This was super clean and so musical. Tight groove! I think this is your best one to date.
Damn, that video went by fast. Could listen to your version all day!
Those chords at 0:56 are beautiful on bass!
you just keep getting better and better! it's insane!
🤯🤯🤯🤯 This is absolutely incredible! Would love to see a Tim Henson collab!😁😁😁
That'd be great!
I don't know if you can even call this bass playing, he is doing it all chords, tapping, percussion, leads I would call it musical genius.
The guy doesn't need band mates he's a one band man! Man I wish he did the paid recording sessions! I need a bassist like this for my songs! It would be nice. I'd even save up if he was really high for each song. I have songs that have 20 plus changes in them. None are less than seven minutes. He'd be insanely perfect for the parts. And the fills.
You inspired to me to start leaning bass. Thank you for always having such beautiful and amazing bass playing.
I just want to let you know that thanks to you. I regained the motivation to practice the bass again Thank you
Wow, one of those scam messages RUclipsrs are talking about. The first one I’ve actually seen. What does telegram only even mean?
No one can expected less from Charles Berthoud!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That was fuckin awesome Charles. Would be dope af if you were able to get a cameo on one of their tracks because your bass skills are incredible.
I haven’t seen you in my RUclips feed for awhile so I went to your page to get my mind blow a little. You are still the man and congratulations on getting 1 million subscribers.
My favourite bassist covering my favourite band is an absolute win! Can't wait to see a collab!
Charles, you take the bass boldly where no bass has gone before.
Clay G is sweating profusely
technical powerhouse. unreal clarity with these notes!!!!!
Absolutely gorgeous! been slapping replay button for a while now :)
Grandissimo! Qualsiasi sforzo tu stia facendo sicuramente sta portando frutto! Ti auguro il meglio..
Charles needs to be featured on a Polyphia track ASAP
This is just Insane!!
I would also like to see Charles series "the hardest songs" playing the easy legendary songs of the past.
Something like "Toto-Rosana/Can't Wait any longer", "Cindy Laupert - Girls just wanna have fun" and so forth.
This guy is just pure talent!! Extremely mesmerising vision and composition!
Beautiful
Geez. It's an odd time in human history where one of the great prodigies of our age is a youtuber, and due to that perhaps not given all the credit he deserves.
Charles, you are the most talented bass player I’ve ever seen. Insane, indeed. I wonder if these are unofficial auditions for a collaboration? Either way, very enjoyable.
Guys, don't be fooled. It's a perfectly normal guitar cover. Count the strings.
Long scale baritone guitar
Thanks, Obama...
It's not the count that matters, Obama.
Nope, not a guitar cover in any way. I actually doubt that Tim could 'slap' it without a buttload of practice. Slapping is not picking OR finger picking - it's Slapping.
@@Patrick_H. careful, you might get drone striked
Dude please play culture shock bass solo from polyphias PLEASE
Absolutely out of this world, after watching stairway to heaven in the aluminum fretless and this? you are like the Goku of Bass playing, an out-of-this-world limit breaker, you have worked so hard and yet every time you post something new is even more impossible than the next, yet you make it happen. Congratulations Charles, the best Bass player in the world.
Polyphia isn’t hard enough for this guys he’s gotta play it on bass for a real challenge and clearly he’s got that mastered too
My mind was not blown watching this video.
It violently burst when I first discovered this channel, with many of the maimed pieces of brain flesh being ejected in all directions, hailing down and culminating in a blanket of blistered and cauterized meat, and the remainder liquefied and/or sublimated and recondescended. The prospect of collecting what can be recovered, and the subsequent itemizing, arrangement and meticulous reassembly of the heavily singed, mutilated and now decaying bits of brain is , I am afraid, effectively unrealistic- especially not after sustaining this level of brain damage.
However, watching Charles play is well worth it. I'd do it again.
Charles, can you just finally tour with Polyphia? 👏🔥
By the most technical thing I have ever seen on bass.
I know your hero is Victor Wooten, but man… I think you’ve surpassed him mate. And I think you probably know this, and it might make you a bit uncomfortable, but it’s ok. You wouldn’t have got where you are without Victor inspiring you, and it’s your time to be that for a new generation.
I think you’re the greatest bass player alive… How does that feel?
Very few people can make the bass guitar this versatile and appealing. Damn this is amazing.
do you realize that you are, arguably, one of the best on this bass forsaken world?
Jesus Christ come down and listen to this!!
Everything you make is phenomenal but this was a standout! What a shredding!!
I'm starting to think Polyphia might just be trying to hurt you with their writing at this point haha
Charles you are legendary, from a fellow musician I am mind boggled.
Did you use Tim's plugin for this?
Also, has Polyphia seen your covers yet?
It sure sounds like Tim's plugin.
Hell, at this point if Tim didn't ask Neural to give a promo copy to Charles, he missed a trick.
Rather fabulous. This bass actually suits your acrobatics and phenomenal bass lexicon best imo.
So good! This has to be one of the best so far. Kudos to Charles for the wonderful things he does. The Wizard of Bass.
Outstanding! Great job!
A mí y a todos tus seguidores, cada vez nos queda más claro que eres uno de los mejores bajistas actuales de todo el mundo (por no decir el mejor). El esfuerzo que conlleva cada uno de tus videos es una burrada, muchiiisimo apoyo para tiii y todo mi reconocimiento 😁😁❤❤
ABSOLUTELY INSANE!!!!!! As good as it gets!!!!
Each note in this directly corresponds with the drops of nervous perspiration currently forming of the polyphia bass player 😬
JUST ON ANOTHER LEVEL
Sounds Insane - is a great description. You just don't stop getting better bro.
Man Id love to see CB do a collab with Polyphia. Could only imagine the kinda song they would write together
You are so good at this!
To all the people wanting Polyphia to bring in Charles for a collaboration , I would say have them come here to this channel cuz y'all got that backwards.
You are on another level my dude....fantastic.
You are unquestionably the most talented bassist in history.
You absolute madman. This is bass playing in beast mode!
Charles can legit play anything. He's a machine at this point input song output incredible perfect bass line.
I like that you play a bass that mortals can afford. Schecter makes quality basses
always can appreciate good bass
Keep sprinkling these kind of covers into your content Charles, I love it!
