CharlesBerthoud never in my life did I think I would see this in my life. I’ve always dreamed of this ever since he died. THANK YOU SO FECKIN MUCH
That Bloody Hell at the beginning was the most british thing I've ever heard.
The tea drinking was an essential part of the process. Also... our Charles is half Finnish.
@@angrytedtalks well that makes a lot of sense! There is something about his tall and refined stature that felt very Nordic indeed!
@Lucius Sulla Your ignorance is astounding. You clearly know nothing about the UK, Turkey or Islam.
@@ParallelusReflection Actually the Finns are not so tall and apart from a small Swedish ethnic group in the West, they are about 5% Sami (North Asian) and a large part (>30%) Slavs. I don't know how tall Charles is, his stature may be in part due to having been a baggage handler at Heathrow for a time...
The blue eyes and red hair are certainly typical British/Irish traits. The French surname is a puzzle though.
@@angrytedtalks He is half Finnish? That explains why he is so handsome 😁 Finnish and Swedish people are just beautiful, man and women and even the dogs.
Seriously that was 100 times better than I even thought possible, and I’ve been playing bass for over 30 years. You are the bass whisperer.
You can do this! believe in yourself!
Billy Sheehan performed Eruption with Steve Vai on Dave's Eat Em and Smile Tour, Steve launched into eruption and Billy walked over and slapped his hand on the guitar strings, silencing them, then proceeded to tear into eruption on his bass, and they traded back and forth, shredding eruption on guitar and bass, was pretty epic, can still picture it to this day 30 something years later. Fuck Im old.
That would have been amazing to see live. I sometimes think of the incredible things which have happened in live performances which have been lost to time.
Better to be old, than dead.
Saw that tour. Saw what they did. Fuck. I'm old too.
Billy Sheehan is the reason i picked up the bass 14 years ago, dude is amazing
@@raksh9 2024 and still have my Eat'em and Smile shirt, it hangs in the archives.
That might be the most impressive thing I've ever seen and heard from a bassist on bass guitar. An incredible feat dude!
That blows the guitar away!!!
Just love the growl of that down-tuned bass
Dude. wow. Absolutely fantastic!
Damn! That's too good for words!
Wow tapping in bass
Wow, that was fantastic. Seriously, that rocked. I am amazed! :)
Eddie would have loved this! Awesome!
The best lead guitarist I have ever known personally was a bass player named John Vasta. You should do a video playing a 6 string so people can see how readily everything you know on bass applies to guitar as well. Just a thought.
Dude! You're INSANE! Awesome!!!
Brilliant!
That was awesome, congrats
Wow
Awesome
Awesome!
dude is amazing
That was beautiful 🙏🤘
Exelente amigo, Robert trujillo tenía un bajo con tremolo en Suicidal Tendencies, deberias tener uno jaja
Great tribute to Eddie. Dare I say I hear a little Cliff Burton in your version.
🤘🏼❤🎸❤🤘🏼
AWESOME tribute to Edward Van Halen. YOU are absolutely gifted on the bass. Enjoy ALL your videos.
🤘🏼🎸🤘🏼
Damn awesome bro!!!!
Que arte!!!
I always play the tapping part of eruption on the G string because it's way easier
If you haven't already challenge davie, you'd smoke him
Oh, I see Glen Fricker's rule #2 really is based on truth. LMAO Sorry for the bad joke 😉 that really was an awesome rendition of Eruption. I'm sure Eddie has a smile on his face from ear to ear as he applauds. 🤘
Fuckin Gold
Is that a PICK????? LIKE
How did nobody see this?
Dragonforce what are you doing here
Herman Li, is that you?? Studying Charles for when you finally play that bass, perhaps?

That was beautiful, man. Eddie would be proud! \m/
Eyyyyy nice to see you here. Love your 7dtd vids
@@jansanchez879 Hey there. Thank you very much :)
Is proud*
Totally.. Edie would say to this... WOW... THAT SOUNDS SOOOO GOOD.
Wassup cap, you and glock should collab again
No more “he plays bass because he can’t play guitar” jokes. That was killer
Tremendous!!
@Mr. WhiteMan yessir it was, Go Pack Go bitch😂👍🏻
Still, he played a guitar part, because all the bass parts are too easy.
That’s what I’m saying!
Sorry. Those jokes will live forever!
This one brought me to tears. I’m 61 & saw Van Halen 14 times. I was fortunate enough to meet Eddie and got to watch him play Eruption back stage. I’ll never, EVER forget that night! Thank you for bringing back one of the most epic memories of my life!
Me: How can you play that, you don't have a whammy bar
Charles: Hold my bass HACCS
@@AxxLAfriku yea no
@@AxxLAfriku what
@@AxxLAfriku you think your hilarious and so random and quirky but your just a weirdo
Because Charles de-tuned the guitar - ever seen a whammy bar on a bass ? ;D
@@AxxLAfriku ...what kind of pot are you smoking?
Not like I or we need to tell you, but Eddie probably would have shit a brick seeing a bass player do the whammy parts with quick drop tuners... because I’m pretty sure Eddie literally invented that too. Beautiful tribute to Eddie for a bunch of reasons.
Yup, Eddie invented a thing called a "D-Tuna" I believe which helped him switch to Drop D and back to standard on the fly. Eddie would have gotten a kick out of seeing a bass player basically have them on ALL his strings, since Eddie D-Tuna was just for the low E string on guitar to go to Drop D and back.
Also, it may be a bit pedantic to mention, but your post says Eddie "literally invented that too" when you mention the drop tuners, meaning you're implying he invented tapping. He did NOT invent tapping on guitar, just for the record (you can find old footage of even Jimmy Page tapping a note or two long before Eddie, and even an odd classical guy or two tapping a random note here or there) but he did innovate the technique far beyond what anyone had done before and popularized it far beyond what anyone had done before as well -- that's the more accurate (albeit wordy) way to properly describe Eddie's contribution to the guitar/music community ;)
@@DeathBringer769 Perhaps Eddie "invented" the idea of continuous tapping whereas in the past it was a fancy way to add a high accent note. Did anyone particularly do tapping in a repeating triplet form?
@@gregmoldovan5921 - Not even... I mean Eddie basically took an existing method and brought it to the ROCK genre. Check this out... Ignore the title, as the technique has been around for CENTURIES on various stringed instruments that we don't even use in Western culture, but this is a pretty fun example of early tapping on a guitar. The music starts at about 1:10 in the video
ruclips.net/video/3y1WK040cAI/видео.html&ab_channel=Liverpoolguitartuition
There was another guy named Dave bunker doing AMAZING things by tapping on a "guitar" that he invented at about the same time (the mid-1960s)... There are modern recordings of him and his evolved version of the touch-guitar that are pretty impressive too. If anything, it's pretty cool to watch and see where Eddie pulled inspiration from.
Stevie Ray didn't invent the blues, but only a fraction of people would have been exposed to it if he hadn't have brought it to the masses. Eddie was (IMO) the same when it came to the capabilities of 6 strings and a magnetic pick-up. He opened the eyes of future guitarists everywhere. A true master of the craft.
@@joebryant8500 Ah this sheds some light, thanks! So he made double-hand tapping popular but didn't invent, sorry you're going down like this EVH!
@@_Common_Logic_ Ico your statement about SRV imo he didn't BRING the blues to the masses as much as pushed it a bit to the forefront. IE: his "Little Wing" cover wouldn't exist without Hendrix, inspired by Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, et al. Plus Clapton and many others had been playing for years, etc etc. I get what your saying though...just saying.
Charles is going to inspire a whole generation of bass players
Hopefully he does. Nice guy, extremely talented, perfect role model for an up and coming bassist
And that italian guy
@@condenicolau9160davie 404 😂
@@marcjuras1623 404!? you have to be joking right
@@blissfullsakura1776 right! 🤗
Mouth breathers: “ Bass is for people who can’t play guitar.”
Charles: “that’s cute, hold my tea”
Cliff burton entered the chat
Fernando Gonzalez “everyone say hi Cliff, how ya doing?!”
Cliff! Miss you brother.
Which is funny, because those snobs are the ones that play shirt scale basses with a pick. I'm a much better guitarist than I am bassist. I have a great respect for ANY instrument, because they all take an immense amount of skill, time and patience to even come close to taming. I dont care if you're circuit bending a toaster and that's how you make your music, you sound like you, and for that you have this lady's respect.
that bass playing melted my face. i dont think i'll ever be judgy towards basists again.
Bass: "I didn't sign up for this!"
Davie504 just pissed his pants
Like slapped.
Then he take up guitar... epico
Epic
Slapped in his pants. Lol
This was "epico"
But, I've been playing bass for 40 years. I know for a fact Davie504 could play this just as well if he was interested in spending the time learning it and practicing it. Davie has 100% of all the techniques used to perform this in his musical toolbag.
This was a great video though.
i feel like crying, your words where so on point at describing the music of van halen, thanks a lot for this video
I’m nominating Charles Berthouds cover of eruption on bass for metal bass line of the year..what a great tribute sounded soooo sick
Good comment.
this is one of the best EVH tributes and its not even on guitar
bravo
I favorited and thumbs before I even watched, I know Charles wouldn't dare make anything short of a masterpiece.
I do miss the fav button
Suck up.
Absolutely correct.
That’s what I always do
@@morningcoffeeOW I just have a private playlist for it, still has a quick add button 😁
@@markoer I'm usually a little more critical with my likes and such, but I knew with Eddie's name on it it had to be good
That pinch harmonic at that bass blew me up. Unbelievable.
Yeah, that was surprising, good though.
Do you need distortion to make it work? I've tried for ages.. I thought you needed a whammy bar for that ;o
@@chutneyferret3569 yes at least makes it really easy. Turn distortion to max
I immediately came to the comments to see if anyone mentioned it
Yep, that's stealing the guitar player's lunch.
Amazing!!! I thought you would just play it on a 6-string bass with higher notes but it's incredible that you played it like that on a 4-string bass !!! Just awesome !!
So EPIC 😍🤘🎸🔥
Ok
I’ve heard this story told with either EVH or Jimmy Hendrix being asked, and about a dozen different guitar players in the answer.
If only Davie504 plays this
@@Lozt6508 Watch 1:59, and you will know, of course Davie will never play this x)
"I don't have a whammy bar"
(plays with four tiny whammy bars)
"I need a million hours to practice Eddie's solo"
(Compresses 114.555 years of clock time into 2 days)
Basically 4 D-Tuna's, a drop tuning device that Eddie helped invent himself, lol. Oddly appropriate to be using in this video for a "whammy bar" replacement ;)
@@DeathBringer769 Guessing that's a reference to the Steinberger? Every day is a school day on YT!
@@DeathBringer769 Thanks for clarifying this.
Amazing tribute and the final words were beautifully spoken.
What kinda bass is the and this is freaking insane that you did this I’ve never thought someone would play eruption on A FREAKING BASS
Thanks 😂It's a LeFay D-Tuner
@@CharlesBerthoud You're crazy talented bro. Lmk when I can borrow your skill for the school talent show to look cool.
I’ve seen bass players do this before but this was the best. Far ahead of all the others
@@nextensi with that kinda talent you would become the school principal
@@AetheriusLamia bet lmao
Charles didn't even change his shirt.
He had to practice so there was no time for changing shirts
That's deep
@@gh0stdem0n666 He didn't need to practice at all, it seems. The intricacy of his Orion piece just highlighted the simplicity of this one.
Eh, prolly he just picked the same variant on his wardrobe after a million hour.
imagine the smelle
Wow. I've never seen a bassist play Eruption before ON a bass! This is amazing!❤❤
I know a drummer and a triangle player who are inspired by Eddie.
Jared and stevie t ???
RUclips recommended this. I clicked on it never having heard of you and just screaming NO at the screen. I was expecting a total catastrophe of mediocre bass. What I found was a fully worthy tribute to the great EVH and a new understanding of what bass can do. Thank You!
Welcome to the club. I hope you clicked "subscribe"
Now you know to never to underestimate this guy again.
He is unreal.
You're gonna have a great time here, especially if you're a string nerd. Charles is the real deal.
Never underestimate bass, welcome to the club
That's why you should never assume anything !
He had mastered and then transcendent his istrument.
Charles..? You're talking about yourself.
Congratz i was the 100 like :D
You're a god Charles!
Seems to be a capable Bass player.
@@ralphwhittemore5041 I concur, that was awesome!
That just blew me away. I've listened to rock for over 30 years and I never expected you to get anywhere near EVH classic. Well done sir, you've made me subscribe to your channel.
Just stumbled upon your channel and when I saw you were going to cover EVH Eruption, I had to watch!!
Your skills are stunning and quite brilliant, but what caused me to comment was your beautiful and
generous tribute to Eddie.
I’m 60 this year and grew up on Van Halen. ALL THE TIME. Your sentiments finally captured what
I could not properly express and I truly wept for the first time since his passing.
Tears of sadness, for sure, but also joy for the sheer joy he embodied.
Thank you...honestly.
same here.
I second the motion
61 dude got VH 1 in Australia on import.
Only appropriate for a Tap God to do insane justice to another Tap God! Rest in peace to the late and great EVH, but a gracious celebration to his lasting impact on music and guitar!
The only way Charles could be more British is if the Tap God wore a "Keep Calm and Hammer On" t-shirt.
@@WAF74 haha 😂
Hi I see you in the comments of rudys channel XD we both like YT music content
@@correoparatodo4631 You are definitely right about that!
@@RC32Smiths01 yeah nik nokturnal like picture man of culture
Oh please, I can play that in my sleep.
My only problem is, then I wake up.😀
What Charles didn't tell you guys is after practicing this for a million hours he can now break a 2x4 using only his tapping middle finger.
Fun fact: There are roughly 8 760 hours in a year, and one million hours divided by 8 760 = 114.15 years.
Or just 2 days
I love the EVH homage, but equally, the way he's taking the piss out of Davie504 in this video is absolutely brilliant!
Errr....not "taking the piss", just another cringe impersonation. Charles should stick to playing and give up on being a 'personality' for the main reason that he doesn't have one.
The antics in this video is obviously mockery at the highest level
I don't like Fortunato's insulting demeanor, but I do have to agree that Charles is definitely not "taking the piss" here. He's started this whole schtick based on Davies style for the past month or two and it's really driven me away from his videos. It's just not who he is, and I hate to say it, but it really is cringey seeing him do this. Like he's trying to capitalize of something that isn't his natural personality and it feels really fake and awkward. I wish he'd just be himself. That's why we all subscribed. Not to see another copy of Davie.
SIMP 👊 LeMAO
@@NautilusGuitars davie doesnt even have his own style, he copied it from someone else. Aside from the memes, which theres barely any, charles has a completely different style.
My fingers got arthritis just watching this, jesus. That’s insane and I think Eddie would have been proud!
Davie smiling from his castle watching this 1:59 :)
First, 750 people who watched this were either jealous or foolish! How can anyone give this a thumbs down? SMH Second, this was an INCREDIBLE tribute to Eddie and you have to know that he would have been blown away by this had he been here to hear and watch it! Charles, you spoke about Eddie being a master of the guitar and playing with so much feeling and passion. While I would not compare anyone to EV, you also play your instrument with passion and incredible talent! Well done and yes, I WILL click "Like" and subscribe!!
I'll be honest, I waited for the music without pressing like. When it stopped - however - I instantly tapped it, no questions asked. It was beautiful. The thoughts that came after, they are also worth a like in themselves, too bad I can't give two likes...
You might have unliked your like
Beginning basists: this is a great warmup exercise.
I need those tuners on my bass. I'll trade you one of my kids, or maybe an ex-wife. Deal?
$3000 would be more likely for the full thing, cheaper if you just need the tuners
Hipshot makes them in Fender style. I have one on the E string of my jazz bass, so I can just detune to drop D with a single click. Maybe they make them in other styles to fit other basses?
Or buy a Kahler bass trem. :)
what are these tuners called? how do theu work?
Go for ex wife
Hey, Charles Berthoud, just let me *CRASH* THE LIKE BUTTON
This was beyond great. This was fucking grandiose. A brilliant tribute.
*expressing your own music freely without having a difficulty with scales and teqniques creates connection with millions of people*
-Charles Berthoud
What a speech man! I wish i could reach that level of music asap but i know i need more years before that happen.
Keep playing 🅱️ASS, charles!
You and Davie are inspirations in my daily practice!👊🅱️🔥
But basically all everybody does is copy each others basic crap over and over again instead of trying to write their own unique ideas to begin with.
The sad part is the EVH clip. You always saw that smoking cig on his tuners. That is what killed him. It sucks, but even the most talented people can be oblivious to what's killing them.
I keep thinking about that while watching hours of VH vids since he passed, he almost always had a smoke either in his mouth, or in his tuners. Just last night, my GF and I watched a vid of him playing in his yard, and someone put a smoke in his mouth and lit it for him...I said, "Take it easy on the smokes Ed." Way too late of course.
RIP Ed.
A bit sad so many people instantly KNOW it was the cigs, bad for you ? Yep. Deadly ? Possible.
Reporters said it was the metal pick that he chewed on which gave him that cancer because the metal went to his brain and messed it up
@@peet4921 More than possible. 500k deaths a year in the US alone.
I thought he died from keeping a metal pick in his mouth
I actually waited until AFTER I heard your version,... then, I clicked "Like", because I actually did like what you did. Your million hours paid off! Very nice job and very nice tribute. Still stunned that Eddie's gone; he was amazing!
The dislikes are clearly from folks born without ears...
Maybe they're just blind and did not know where to click
Or maybe they appreciate good songs that are not just excuses to tap mindless solos performed by a heavy cigarette addict that can't even play a minute without a cigarette attacked to the guitar.
@@mikakovalainen4389 wtf is that supposed to mean
Because of this your officially cooler than the "other guy"
Davie 504?
What in the ass? I did not see that one coming. I honestly thought that was going to be complete garbage. Fantastic job.
Billy Sheehan's whole day circa 1979 probably looked just like this
I've said it before, I don't know shit about music. Having said that, in my completely worthless opinion, you are pretty awesome.
Dude! That was way better than I expected. You rock! Eddie will be so missed. He would have loved to have seen this. Thank you for sharing.
Sick! That’s amazingly done! I could only get the tapping part down
That’s a solid achievement though! 👏🏻
Young Man you FREAKIN NAILED IT!! Never heard it on a bass before, that was some SERIOUS BAD-ASSERY!!! Great job, Eddie's Smilin down from heaven fer sure!!!
For me, music was always the audible expression of emotion. Raw emotion if you would, no words or images. Just the raw feeling.
Wow!! You must have made a deal at the crossroads. : o
Well that erupted my brain! Bravo!!! EVH will be smiling down from the clouds!
Evp?!
Wouldn’t find Davie paying homage like this, epic shit Charles
Davie got too big for his own good. Charles has always come off as more humble and honestly the better bass player, easily.
Davie is still very talented, just not as good as Charles. Plus he doesn't have the bass capable to play it anyway.
Davie sus bro
Well, guess what. Davie and Charles are both better than all of you. Jeez. Does it really fucking matter?
Lmao
Comments like "OMG the best bass player in youtube!!1" have become meaningless since people are overusing 'em...
BUT YOU ARE LITERALLY THE BEST BASS PLAYER IN RUclips!
Blah blah...1:52
“We’re looking for a connection that cannot be achieved through words.” Brilliant
Davie couldn't play this lol🤣
What? No, his internet is down!😉
Jokes aside, I think that Davie probably can, but we just need to be patient. It even took the legendary Charles two days to play it.
I was thinking that he should play this (or another really hard solo) on his 10 million sub special. What say you?
W O T ?
@@TheGaberGuy yes, but imho Charles is better than Davie when it comes to skills(tho can't really compare funk and classical/jazz) and if it's about content creating, Davie rules
I remember driving to the guitar store and memorizing the guitar tab for Van Halen's 316 measure by measure in high school, when I was too poor to even afford a music book. I had to memorize a bit, and then drive home and practice from memory back then. I was too embarrassed to even plink through it in the store.
Talking first year or two of teaching myself guitar by imitating what was on the radio.
I forgot how huge a part of my life EVH was so long ago, but hearing 316 on the outro of this video brought back a lot of memories.
Nice one, Charles.
Fun fact: Since Eddie was Dutch, his last name is actually pronounced closer to faan Haalen, with aa as the a in bratwurst.
He was a venison transporter? Fawn Haulin?
He chose his pronunciation himself so no, it's van Halen not faan haalen.
@@kilangalangamoekalon It's quite common that people decides to anglicized their names - better on own accord decide something people actually manages to call you than have your name constantly incorrectly pronounced. So as you note, the "home country" pronounciation isn't always what counts.
No. As someone who speaks Dutch, thats not what it sounds like.
In Holland it sounds like van Hah-len.
@@rsvp9146 I guess that's closer, yeah. My Dutch sucks.
Dude what in the shit. This is amazing! Great playing. I didn't think this would be possible on a bass.
Why not? A Bass is after all a guitar. Just naturally tuned deeper.
Absolutely blew me away, Eddie would have been proud!
Charles this was really so touching. Your words at the end really resonated for me, thank you for this amazing tribute to one of the greatest to ever play.
Outstanding! And a sincere tribute given at the end to the GOAT.
“Bloody hell!!” Keeping it British lad
WOW. I didn’t expect this to make me cry. AMAZING. Eddie was my favorite guitarist and Van Halen has always been my favorite band. I think Eddie would be proud.
This is a callout to Davie504
RIP Eddie. Also nice meta-British "bloody hell!"
Dude! This was insane! I'm gonna leave this comment to improve your engagement metrics. You definitely earned it.
Was ready to hear you go into "You Really Got Me". No use in stopping now.
And no pick 1:59 :)
