    Everytime I listen to an original here I end up listening at least 12 more times to really appreciate the depth and complexity of it. There is always so much going on that you can hear the same thing but discover new aspects each play through. The harmonic duet in this is just astounding and rather than muddy the sound between them or mimic each other, they highlight and enhance each other in every bar with every note. It is awe inducing with every video like this. Keep it up Charles, you are crazy talented and your effort is not unnoticed.

  • @rented1102
    @rented1102 2 года назад +3

    I think I figured out why I like this so much on a technical level my smol brain can comprehend. A lot of Ichika Nito's stuff is super meloncolic but it's played on an instrument with a really bright and piercing tone. For me, whenever I listen to his stuff it feels like he's shooting me in the heart (but like in a good way lmao). With a lot of Charles' more calm and classically virtuistic stuff-- the bass overall is a really warm instrument, almost softer in a way (?). I think what I mean is it's a lot less intense in a really enjoyable way. It's more like my heart sitting in a hot spring. So... when you put them together it feels like my heart is being shot in a hot spring... both feelings balence eachother out very well actually. You get they piercing brightness of a guitar and the warm tones of the bass. Most of the time you'll see the guitar completely overpower those warm tones, but here they're actually balenced... it sounds so good that it's almost shocking that something like this with electric bass and guitar hasn't been done before, it's really really good.

    Charles you’re unbelievable 😮. You can’t watch this once. It takes at least 5 times to even wrap your mind around how beautiful this is. Great work!!

    Brilliant bass arrangement. You perfectly complement the guitar. The way you echo the guitar parts like a call and response is fantastic!

    This is beyond just a great collaboration... You're bringing fine art to the ears of younger audiences. Someone listening to this will be inspired and the beauty of the arts will continue... This is one one the few gifts of social media.

    So why don't we just see a duet band with charels and ichiko, and they just jam and sell more then a million. You two are massive influences on my want to play guitar/bass, and both of you are amazing in what you do, but this video shows me that so much more can be added to what you do, and you both compliment eachother so well. Its almost a travesty.

    That was absolutely gorgeous. Kinda got a little choked up. You two need to partner up. Your sounds together were sublime.
