Like all of us with any kind of art. I often felt discouraged by seeing art that is much better than my art. There will always be someone better than us (unless we're literally the best), but art is mostly about enjoying while doing it. And Charles is enjoying the hell out of that bass, it seems XD skills improve gradually, as long as we don't give up on practicing and stay determined, we won't get discouraged. And the inspiration part will help us close the gap :D
At age of 55 Charles inspired me to start playing on my bass again after a 25 year break. I even bought a brand new Fender. Thank you for the inspiration Charles.
Oh my Goodness even played in x0.5 speed, that bassline solo still sounds fast and incredible. Thank you Charles for showing me there is no limitation for bassists.
What I like about Charles is no matter how technically advances his skills become his stuff still sounds like music. My biggest beef with some unbelievably talented bass players is that they are so good they aren't a pleasure to listen to anymore. Charles stuff is always music to my ears!
I have the same issues with certain guitarists who are technical phenoms, such as Steve Vai or Yngwe Malmsteen , but how about just writing a song. They could take a lesson on songwriting from someone like Angus Young - just write a song, please, and quit showing off your mastery of math formulas. 😺
Ridiculously good. Perhaps you have the cleanest performance of all basists I´ve heard so far. Crystal clear, and yet so insanely advanced. You´re simply the best around.
My dad would have loved this video. He played Bass for 60+ years and was always looking for some great players. Sadly he passed in 2014. He had many Basses and he gave some away to young musicians. We had a Christian band from South America travel around and they came to our home church. The airline lost the Bass player's Bass and dad had a new Kubicki 5 string and he just gave it to the young player. Said if you are going to play for the Lord, you should play on one of the best there is. The dude was crying. But that was just dad. He would have loved to sit and watch you guys' videos for hours. He would call me all the time if he found a great video. Thanks for all your hard work. I posted this on Davie's channel too!
This is not only insanely hard, but also sounds amazing. I finally get how hard tapping is because I finally got a bass. I don't get how you don't have more subscribers, your content is amazing.
@@probabvieh the reason Davie got so many subs that is because he is special, Davie is a great bass player too but he focuses on memes but we have to be greatful for these talented men before they are gone
I'm a simple bloke who does not know a lot about music and I came across this video through a link. This piece of music is one of the most incredible things I have ever listened to in my life and I am pretty old. I never believed that sort of magic could flow from a bass. Well done Charles...outstanding.
This comment is really wholesome. And I agree completely, this is magic for my ears too XD I am actually looking forward to what our future generations will come up with to impress us younger folks when we're older :D
Charles, I honestly feel like you're going to be the person to usher in a new era of lead bass in music. I cant wait to see what you'll be doing with your amazing skill (not talent this is obviously years of dedication) in the future and what musical ensembles you'll find yourself in. Keep on keepin' the groove alive legend
After playing bass for a decade, life happened and I stopped playing for almost 15 years. Today I bought a new bass and am starting over from scratch. Mr. Berthoud is one of my inspirations for picking it back up. I hope some day I can be even half as amazing of a bassist as you are. Thanks for making awesome stuff and inspiring folks!
I have been listening to this track for a year on end now. I need a need to binge on it every so often, it feeds my soul.. and for days after I can't have a moment of free thought that doesn't include that last tap section with the double kick drum behind it. it's phenomenal, truly, Just a passing thought,,,
Absolutely! Just played it back at 0.25x speed and it’s still too fast to follow exactly what he’s playing there. The other impressive aspect of the slowed down playback is the sheer precision he maintains at speed.
@Mailroom Clerk Davie504 and Charles are equals imho. They both are unbelievably skilled, each of them with their unique style. And just to be clear, Davie played this solo ( not the whole thing, just the piece Charles sent him as challenge answer. I bet Davie can play the whole thing.
@Mailroom Clerk He might seem like a bit of a slouch because of his entertainment focused video style, but you can't forget that he still is an insanely talented bassist
Okay, so..... that was absurd. How is a bass virtuoso of this caliber not a worldwide household name? That fill at 2:37-2:38 was so funky my bathroom vent fan just kicked on by itself. Just.... damn!
because there is no music in any of his videos or in david 504 ones for that matter.. hwere is a great bass line played by one of this guys in a great piece of music?
@@michaelciancetta6397 I dunno, they’re both a lot better than me on a bass, and - considering their numbers of subscribers - they’re clearly doing fine simply being hammy personalities and playing their short exhibition pieces. I don’t personally require anything more from them. I am adequately entertained.
You know what's weird. It seems that youtubers are now some of the best musicians in the world, especially when discounting straight up professional classicals. When it comes to modern music... this is to me one of the greatest works of music around. And thanks to you and Davie we are truly living in a golden age of bass.
Charles graduated from the Berklee College of Music. He's the epitome of a classically trained musician. RUclips is an amazing platform to get visibility, however, so it makes absolute sense that highly talented individuals trying to make a living through music would embrace it.
Welcome to the real world my friend. There's many talented people out here that never get signed or never become famous, in fact some of the most talented artist and musicians out there are not famous at all.
Reminds me of my sister playing her cello. Many cello music is played close to the edge of the fingerboard. She asked her teacher why to take so much trouble, trying to make a cello sound exactly like a violin. Why not play that music on a violin?! Get real!
@@voornaam3191 My brother writes orchestral music and used to play cello. I asked him about the same thing and apparently you get a darker tone from playing a cello in the higher part of its range than you do from a violin.
THIS IS SICKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK the vibe is so complex in the beginning and it opens to a bunch of positivity and honestly it's an amazing piece worthy of more recognition quite obviously.
@mastersaint i guess. but the backing track isn't all the prominent. he hit's a lot of notes on both high and low parts which is why i feel like it sounds so nice.
This solo also made me believe that he is the greatest bassist i have seen. for me this is the 'THE BEST SOLO OF ANY INSTRUMENT' . From 2:34 till end it was 'MAJESTIC'
Finally got back to the present, what a magical journey going from oldest original to newest. You're truly phenomenal and inspiring. Thanks for being you and being so humble about it
You had me when you bent that one note midway through. I bent a bass note one time and the guys I was jamming with all stopped, appalled that I had committed this 'unbassist' act. I will not go into their reaction the time I put a capo on my bass.
Seriously, a compilation of the whole soundtrack that The Seatbelts did for the show would be incredible. Bad Dog No Biscuit would be freakin sweet from Charles
Everytime I think this is it, Charles has made it - he has reached the limit. This is total slap and absolute tap. Then Charles brings slapocalypse... Bravo! Amazing work!
After many months of listening to Davie504 and you, I have determined that you are the best. Davie504 is awesome also and mainly a video comic genius. He takes the streaming prize for that, but my final conclusion is that you are the absolute best bassist in the world. You have taken Victor Wooten's number one's spot!
I agree, but also, I think that the natural talent of Davie is superior, because Charles studied music, did'nt he? Meanwhile Davie left the school for youtube.
I dont mind you saying hes better than davie, but definitely not victor wooten, i just cant agree with that. Great video tho! Were all friends in the comments babies

@@ryanvoshell9722 also works the other way around. Davie gave new life to Charles's YT channel (charles was under 50 k before he blew up in one of Davie's vid)
I've watched Charles for well over a year. Tbh, I was beginning to think I had lost the ability to be surprised/impressed by his work...i had become somewhat jaded. Well, consider me blown fully away. I'm a bassist and I can't comprehend what I just watched.
This is outstanding. I need to make it my ringtone so that I don't answer my phone, but instead just listen to it ring. As Davie would say, "EPIC!" and "Approved!" Very much approved.
This is absolutely phenomenal. Brilliant! Of all his great music, this is simply out of this world. I don't know if he can better this. You're a living legend Charles. Thank you for this incredible music library of your work.
The point is to become that good, it comes with practice, but honestly all that matters is you have fun. To me that's what music is about, enjoyment. Cheers.
Tasty. thx for a run-thru. One hard part of it is the speed. Then of course you go and do bits I've never ever seen before with me own two eyes, at the same speed and it's beyond crayzee, man. Maybe It's a posession, I can't say for sure. It kind of reminds me of the skateboard hobby, and how a simple enough process has been taken to such extremes and perfected like it has. Nobody from the beginning of skateboards would recognize any of it today. And it kind of blows me away how your bass works.
You really practiced so hard on the economy of movements, in this whole video I can’t seem to find a time where your pinky is unnecessarily raised up, this is so hard to achieve 😭
What do you all think of the full song?! 👇🏻

Just slap instead of tap and feel far better of yourself than you have any right to.

When Davie listened to the original solo and said "so, that's all for today. See you in the next video" I felt that.
That? You just felt that? Don't do that, please. That's a mister Y.
"Tabs on this part on Patreon"

He has to put the tabs onto Patreon, to lower the risk of causing bass related injuries to less qualified bassists.

I think a lot of musicians get wrapped up in flexing and the technical aspects, they stop focusing on keeping it melodic and fun to listen to.
Well put.
I have the same issues with certain guitarists who are technical phenoms, such as Steve Vai or Yngwe Malmsteen , but how about just writing a song.

Steve Vai comes to mind. Dude is technically amazing but his music is terrible.

This is absolutely phenomenal. Brilliant! Of all his great music, this is simply out of this world. I don't know if he can better this. You're a living legend Charles. Thank you for this incredible music library of your work.
how come this gives me chills after years i've heard it for the first time. good job charles, it stands the test of time
I always find myself somewhere between "inspired to go play my bass now" and "what is the point?". Amazing playing as always!
I feel you brother
The point is to become that good, it comes with practice, but honestly all that matters is you have fun. To me that's what music is about, enjoyment. Cheers.
Words cannot even begin to describe how epic this video is...
Not only did that sound great but is inspirational. This solo makes you want to go out and achieve some impossible goals.
Tasty. thx for a run-thru. One hard part of it is the speed.
Then of course you go and do bits I've never ever seen before with me own two eyes, at the same speed and it's beyond crayzee, man. Maybe It's a posession, I can't say for sure.
It kind of reminds me of the skateboard hobby, and how a simple enough process has been taken to such extremes and perfected like it has. Nobody from the beginning of skateboards would recognize any of it today.
And it kind of blows me away how your bass works.
You really practiced so hard on the economy of movements, in this whole video I can’t seem to find a time where your pinky is unnecessarily raised up, this is so hard to achieve 😭
This is one of the best solos i have ever heard on bass
This is amazing, you could also do a impossible fretless solo, that would be siiiiick btw greetings from Brazil.
2:22 - 2:40 sweet camera work, and that final camera matching slide was dope af
I have watched this video more than 100 times now. Still get goosebumps every time. Absolutely fantastic job Charles!
Это одно из лучших соло на басу которое я когда-либо слышал! Моё глубочайшее уважение!
I agree! (Whatever you said..)
You're amazing, Charles!
Bass excellence. I'm a huge fan. Since the beginning of this channel
WE NEED A VIDEO WITH THAT TURQUOISE BASS IN THE BACK!!!!!!!!!

Charles that was the most amazing piece if music that I ever heard on any instrument
Best thing about Davie504 was discovering Charles
True man!
Amen to that
So true
Absolutely agreed!
So I watched this on the bus and for whatever reason my tougne started moving with the melody so in front of my friend i looked like a lizard on speed
