    I'm convinced that you can play slap on just about any instrument and make it sound amazing. We need to hear slap banjo or slap dulcimer next.

    One thing I've noticed is that, no matter how busy and technical your playing gets, it's always cleanly-executed and highly, HIGHLY melodic. I know you're a bassist almost full-time, but I for one would LOVE to see you have a slap guitar/slap bass/piano trio video. That'd be...amazing.

It's easy to forget how big those numbers are when you see bigger numbers all the time but 1.5 million is a lot. Even 100,000.. concert tickets, merch, physical and digital album sales. That could be millions and millions of dollars 👍 I hope he's so successful he never has to show his face on RUclips again. He's that good

But while scrolling through RUclips videos one evening about 5 months ago I came across a man named Charles Berthoud playing 4 Green Neon Strings. I was absolutely blown away and spent the whole day in complete awe listening to one of his videos after another.
    A few days later on my next day off from work I went to guitar center and bought two guitars. I now have 6 and a Marshall JVM 205H head and 4X12 cab and am practicing every waking hour that Im not at work. Thanks Charles! You woke up the music in my soul again!
