@@TuskieeePro musicians don't listen to as much music as you think. During their development, they are ravenous like most. Then they'll usually gravitate to a style. After they choose music, they don't listen for pleasure. Unless something is pushed on them or jumps out at them. They play too much to enjoy music for pleasure. Not all, but most. Just like many chefs don't often eat out, many actors don't watch television or movies unless it's research etc. When your life is consumed with something and it's your livelihood it loses appeal. Long way to say, he's probably not lying. Also consider the age of the song and his age. There's millions of people that haven't heard a song of The Rolling Stones or The Beatles . There's many that haven't even heard of them. Most people's concept of popularity in general is actually quite insular an anecdotal.
I'm blown away that a highly trained professional rock musician from *ENGLAND* has never heard this song. It just goes to show how much music is out there.
What makes Bill Wyman's bass line so iconic is that it's punchy and sparse, sitting squarely on Charlie Watts' downbeat. He also payed tribute to the mainstream Disco ethos which was popular at the time without actually going there. When NOT to play by dropping out is just as important in providing contrast, counterpoint and dynamics without having to fill the space all the time. A true craftsman, 'Paint it Black' is another amazing example of Wyman's unique prowess. Tina Weymouth is another shining example of sparse and punchy dynamics. Her bass lines are not complicated virtuoso material, but she and her life partner Chris Frantz know how to make people want to get up and dance; 'Once in a Lifetime', 'Psycho Killer', all great tunes with simple yet kick-arse bass lines.. Being an anchor in the rhythm section is a bass player's FIRST priority.
Fun fact: Billy Preston actually came up with the "Miss You" bass line. And I would actually call it busy - "active" as the girl says. You always hear it, especially the octaves. It's not like Maurice' Gibb's lines with the Bee Gees in their great disco songs, where there is lots of space. And yes, Tina is another example of that type.
Oh, I LOVE THIS format!!! This "guest artist" hears "song" for the first time needs to be done on EVERY instrument being put on YT... I started watching the Drumeo vids, then found Pianote's versions, and now I'm seeing it happen on SBL! LEGEND!!!
It's interesting that we all think of Miss You as a disco song but it's really the BASS that makes it disco. Hearing it with the bass removed it just sounds like a blues rock song, which is what I think Charles was trying to play to.
Just wanna say, not just as a starting old-timer bass 'fidgeteer'... you guys/gals/whatever are ALL legends to me. And hearing you enjoy this 'old' music makes me like you even more. If I ever reach about one tenth of your talent, I will make sure to thank you all for it. Please keep up the clips - they REALLY help getting excited to play bass!
For somebody of his talent, I’m sure most viewers expected him to go off on a solo but he stayed to musical at all times, just complimented the music without showing off. That’s a professional musician that is musically aware right there.
Detroiter here! Amazing to hear he’s not heard this! Just goes to show how exposure differs. I grew up with The Rolling Stones and Beatles. 1967 born. Love this rhythm.
If you're into more technical stuff, metal, and so on, it's easy to miss, or to only hear in some radio/movie at some time in the background, not really paying attention...
What makes this song so fantastic is that it’s in a simple term “simple” nothing overly complex and that really leaves it open for interpretation for bass. You could really play any groove over this song and it would sound fantastic.
He grew up learning classical piano so it's likely that the Stones weren't being played in the house, then when he got into bass, it was likely in the digital era so he was finding things based on recommendations from friends or algorithms, so the likelihood of them coming up was pretty low, unless it was in a movie.
This really shows how IMPORTANT bass players are in a band. The original one is so in that kind of disco vibe and Charles just makes is way more soulful.
Miss You has a very special place in my heart, specifically because of the time me and my friend were drunkenly wandering through the streets of Sheffield at 3am belting it out
This was a real treat. This was one of the tunes I had to learn for the first cover band I played with and to see Charles having never heard it or even identify the band is mind blowing. Wow!
This has always been one of my favourite Stones songs and one that's always been super fun to jam on, super cool hearing his take on one of Bill Wyman's funkiest bass parts and he absolutely killed it
Actually as the story goes, Bill Wyman did not play it. He was not in the room when someone who worked in the studio asked if he could play the bass, as he had an idea….
Classy and session as hell overall, for sure, but he took very interesting and fitting liberties with it in a way that only a really seasoned and talented musician could.
Since I never really listened to the stones, this was the first video of this kind I really did not know the song of myself. Now I feel the pressure this man must go through
Well, because I'm old-ish, I was going to make some snide remark about never having heard The Stones "Miss You", but tbh, I actually liked his bassline better than the disco-ish original. His was more thoughtful, modernized, musical even. So I'm glad the original didn't taint his choices. Rock On, Charles! Great job!
Fun Fact: Keith Richards often removed the low string and played 5 string tuned to an open G, letting the Bass pick up the low end. I would have liked to get Charles comment on that
I love Charles' amazing slap/tap amazingness, but, wow, just to hear him in the pocket grooving was incredible. I mean, I know he's no one trick pony, but it was refreshing and so tasty.
So funny that you posted this because a few weeks ago I played a gig on bass where I didn't know what the set list was going to be. They called this song and I had never heard it before. All I got was in the 10 seconds leading up to the song someone sang that melody to me.
@@phpn99 Calling Davie a clown just because his content is funny sounds dis. I bet Charles called him in, because he knows that thanks to him his channel blew out. Davie has promoted the bass and bass players with his different series like "Bass Around Sthe Sworld - BASS" lol or the ones where he paid Fiverr musicians to play bass.
Wish you had more of his reaction to the original line. Wyman is amazing. Do Emotional Rescue -would love to see what someone comes up with. (I know....Ronny Wood played bass on it, but still)
Nice job Charles! I blame your parents for you not being Stones aware lol. This clip went a bit off the rails on the playback of the original mix - I felt like the conversation was covering up some of the most distinctive parts of Wyman's line. It might be fun to play the isolated bass track back for the guest sometime (or at least a bass-forward mix).
As a long term guitarist starting to finger style bass I was very interested to see what Charles would do. I was frustrated that Scott kept talking as Charles was listening to Bill Wyman play. I would have liked to hear Charles' detailed opinion on what BW was playing. I noticed that Charles also played parts similar to how Darrel Jones does now. I have heard some great live versions where DJ gets a whole solo section in. I can almost hear Charles about go into the same solo direction. Thanks heaps for posting this. I will be playing it several times over.
Loving this, The Chris Chaney one was good too! for future videos I would love to see the likes of Alonza Bevan (Kula Shaker), Stuart Zender (JK) or even Mike Inez (AIC)!
love your channel guys and its all because of your enthusiasm and passion..btw ive been hoping you would do a deep dive into the late great rick danko and his badass fretless ampeg..hes extremely underrated but i think you know how awesome he is..
I have actually thought a lot about this. The first time i saw this format of a video was on drumeo, i want to see this done for all the instruments then put in a final track and see how much of it was retained. Just a cool idea.
Aram Bedrosian would be awesome to see playthrough... He is awesome to listen to. Mark Michelle (Low End University, and bassist from Scale the Summit) would also be a good selection.
Nice concept! Hats off to Charles Berthoud - nice invention. Kind of surprised he couldn't recognize Mick Jagger's voice! Anyway, would be nice to see a few more like this.
The hardes thing imho is to bring up a song that's great w/o raising the chances that the guest knows of it, Please find somone who hasn't heard Charles Wright's "Express Yourself" (Maybe take out that guitar in the intro that doubles the bass ^^) Amyway... as more and more musicians will get invited to do the drumeo bit, coz the format is focking awesome and in music related stuff , the more the merrier... it will get harder to find them songs; but I'm excited to see what we get while it lasts
Well, if you don't listen to rock n roll radio you might just miss it. There's hundreds and hundreds of popular songs, it's not that crazy to think that one from decades ago slipped through the cracks
I'm 40, I sing in a cover band, we play plenty of RS stuff and I don't remember hearing Jumpin' Jack Flash until a couple of years ago. Sometimes life's just weird. What made me wonder was him not even knowing the band. I mean... Mick Jagger is a dead giveaway.
@@MaximusChivus One of the most famous songs of one of the most famous rock and roll band of all time. A British band, should I add. Charles is British, I don't buy that he never heard ''Miss You'' or even recognized Mick's voice.
Thanks for having me on this one, so much fun!! 🙌🏻
Top notch Bass Skills!
You killed it Charles!!
You are amazing, Charles!!
Awesome as ever 👍👍
Bass is Knowledge
Bass is power
Bass is awesome.
Keep the great job Charles.
More of this format please. And thank you Drumeo for figuring out this format and bringing it to the music world.
There's also @PianoteOfficial doing the same thing
Absolutely killer format.
As a guitarist, it's brutal how bad Guitareo is in comparison to Drumeo.
They need to take a lesson for sure.
Less of this format pls. Never hearing this song as a musician is so unbelievable
It’s a silly click bait gimmick at best.. so and so hears marry had a little lamb the first time! Oh, ok

The great thing is that I FINALLY get to feel superior to Charles Berthoud about SOMETHING!
@@MrGitBoyProbably not. It's fairly common with musicians.
@@pitpride1220 sorry, what is fairly common?
@@MrGitBoy Pro musicians not being aware of popular music. Should've clarified.
I am BEYOND excited that SBL FINALLY chose to showcase this song somewhere, somehow. Funkiest bass line the Stones brought forth - thanks SBL!
👍👍👍
10000%
I really like how he handled the bridge and the quiet part after it. The disco octaves were right on for me as well.

Amen, DoghouseFunkBlaster65!
BW = most underrated Stone.
Love the fact that the man, with all his knowledge and technical skill chose to play what's right for the track. Mad respect.

Being on a RUclips show with this format as a bass player would basically be like a more profitable version of every band audition I’ve ever done

I love the series, I love Charles....more please!!!!
More to come!!
This is the difference between a perfectly fine and professionally played bass line and a history making bass line

👍👍👍
Crazy Charles didn’t know this tune ! Thanks for the vid guys
Detroiter here! Amazing to hear he’s not heard this! Just goes to show how exposure differs. I grew up with The Rolling Stones and Beatles. 1967 born. Love this rhythm.
If you're into more technical stuff, metal, and so on, it's easy to miss, or to only hear in some radio/movie at some time in the background, not really paying attention...
He's a young guy so I can understand that he hasn't heard it before.
You said Davide. I heard Davey and my heart soared for the Farragher! That dude is a monster and I’d love to hear you guys interview him.
What makes this song so fantastic is that it’s in a simple term “simple” nothing overly complex and that really leaves it open for interpretation for bass. You could really play any groove over this song and it would sound fantastic.
Please get Nathan East. We would want to see his process
The problem with him would be finding a song he doesn't know, because he played on all of them 😅
@@thewaldfe9763 That's true 🤣
Yeah, the issue there is finding the tune for him!! 😅😅😅
@@devinebass Give him Meshuggah or something 😆
Something by sunn o)))?
I LOVE this series. Hope we get more in the future.
How it is even possible that guy like Charles never heard this song. I can’t believe.
The last time I heard it was around 1980.
He grew up learning classical piano so it's likely that the Stones weren't being played in the house, then when he got into bass, it was likely in the digital era so he was finding things based on recommendations from friends or algorithms, so the likelihood of them coming up was pretty low, unless it was in a movie.
He certainly has at some point
I disagree. I’m 76 and I still hear ‘older’ music that I’ve never hear before.
Me neither.
These never get old. And Charles never disappoints.
This channel just keeps getting better and better! ❤
I had the same reaction when I first heard “Happy Birthday”
Scott our whole tones and chord tones the same thing you guys are greatly appreciate everything you do thank you so much
So glad this drumeo format is catching on. How has Charles never heard this❤
This really shows how IMPORTANT bass players are in a band. The original one is so in that kind of disco vibe and Charles just makes is way more soulful.
His take was so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes 🥹
Mick Jaggers voice is so distinctive I can’t believe anybody within western culture wouldn’t recognise this band.
Charles Bear Two is the man! He got through music school without hardly hearing 'bout them Rolling Stones. Way to go Chas!
Charles is a frickn anomaly on the bass. It's such a treat to see and hear his genius.
🧡🧡🧡
I have not heard this song before either. So definitely believable. Obviously heard stones songs but this doesn’t ring a bell
That was fun, but Charles, what rock have you been living under to have not known this song. But your Disco octaves saved you here. Well done.
Miss You has a very special place in my heart, specifically because of the time me and my friend were drunkenly wandering through the streets of Sheffield at 3am belting it out
This was a real treat. This was one of the tunes I had to learn for the first cover band I played with and to see Charles having never heard it or even identify the band is mind blowing. Wow!
Super fun! It's great to these incredibly talented musicians react to popular songs through their bass. So much fun!!
This First Time series is why I'm subscribed. Getting Charles was a major score.
This has always been one of my favourite Stones songs and one that's always been super fun to jam on, super cool hearing his take on one of Bill Wyman's funkiest bass parts and he absolutely killed it

No Scott this time but we get YHE FANTASTIC MS SHAZZ,,,,YESS🌈 thank you both SO MUCH 🎸🤠 from Arkansas USA.
This is a GREAT format!! I always love SBL videos, but you've really got something here.
More to come!!
this is gold so much experience given for free pure gold
Classy and session as hell overall, for sure, but he took very interesting and fitting liberties with it in a way that only a really seasoned and talented musician could.
Charles is one of my inspiration to play bass.
Great take there Charles, love it!
If you were to bring Davie504 here, you should let him do all the memes and the editing :P
so great!!! how has he never heard this before. Feeling pretty old...
charles is so much gifted i wish i could afford that schecter bass...soon
Since I never really listened to the stones, this was the first video of this kind I really did not know the song of myself. Now I feel the pressure this man must go through
Just scary how well Charles recreated the feel that Bill Wyman put down - without ever hearing the song or Bill's part.
My favourite Stones track. Loved the rundown in the outro.

4:10 you had one job describing the Rolling Stones song . . . "Fire Me Up" :) also try Streetheart's version of Under My Thumb with someone maybe
I love Charles' amazing slap/tap amazingness, but, wow, just to hear him in the pocket grooving was incredible. I mean, I know he's no one trick pony, but it was refreshing and so tasty.
100%, there is a lot more to Charles than the flash he does!

Absolutely love this song.
Thanks for this. Great stuff. Charles showing just how awesome he is playing what works for the song
Charles is just awesome. Superb video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love that you guys are doing this. I watch the Drumeo stuff all the time and had been hoping that someone would do this with bass.
Love this so much! Charles did great for never hearing the song before
💯💯💯
This gave me significantly more respect for Charles’s depth as a musician, his instincts are great
💯💯💯
Davie504 is a MUST!!!
For what? Memes? 😅

Let's hear Davie Slap that bass line.
Another great episode! You guy's are killin' it! Along with Davy504; I'd love to see Danny Sapko. He would be a blast with you guys!
Brilliant, love Charles, he's a great, would love to see Mr Doug Wimbish do this
Doug would crush it i'm sure!
More of this format please, love it a lot

this is a fun format. You could honestly get any bassist and see what happens, good or bad, as long as it's all positive!
Stellar performance.
Wish you had more of his reaction to the original line. Wyman is amazing. Do Emotional Rescue -would love to see what someone comes up with. (I know....Ronny Wood played bass on it, but still)
Now that was fun, and creative. Genius!
I love that song!!!!
Guy Pratt would be so fun see doing this, and great job Charles!

Great premise, I'm glad you are doing more! Love Charles, too.

I love it. ❤ Thank you.
Btw did anyone else think that Charles make a cool regea song from a rock-'n'-roll one?
That was nice!! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!! Love when you have this format of videos. Charles killed it!!!
Cheers, and yeah, Charles was awesome, so happy he agreed to do this with us!
That was nice. Nice to see him in a studio setting.
Great, Charles! As always!😊

Viejo, no puede ser que no haya escuchado ese HIMNO de los Stones.

Thanks for this!
I recall hearing something about Billy Preston having something to do with showing Bill Wyman this bass part and he went with it...
Davey! I'm so stoked he chose him! I really hope he takes the challenge!
The hardes thing imho is to bring up a song that's great w/o raising the chances that the guest knows of it,

It’s very hard to believe he never heard this song. Cmon
