Charles will never admit it , but he has to be one of the best bassists on earth right now. The technique is insane but what gets me is the clarity of it all.
I don't want to agree cos there is always is always someone better, but I just say I haven't seen many close, if you get past his memes Davie is a extremly versatile and skilled player, but I must agree charles does have so much clarity in his notes
The 20 seconds from 1:50 to 2:10 made me realize that you are the best bass player I have ever heard. I someday wish to learn all the techniques for my accordion in the same fashion that you've learned your electric bass. Thanks for being a huge inspiration and for your overall passion man.
In every solo you do, there's always a small line that does it for me, takes it to the next level. In this case it was that amazing lick at 2:03, sick.
You and Davie made me take up the bass, I've played lots of instruments in the past but this one is the first I love. I can only hope to be as amazing as you are some day. I see your hands and my brain doesn't even comprehend how you make those sounds come out.
I'm so glad you exist man, I've been a 6 string guitarist all my life (over 20 years, I'm only 27) and your channel is the first thing that's ever made me want to learn bass, im even thumping Tosin style on my 8 string to make up for not having a one, anything that resembles the fat tone of a bass. One of these days something is going to give and I'm going to end up totally transitioning.
I watched this video last night for the first time. I spent the day hanging off of a helicopter working on power lines and I COULD NOT GET the lick that starts at 2:12 out of my head ALL DAY! 🤣🤣 Wonderful playing, Charles!!
Everyone talking about the lick at 1:50 whereas I love how he changed the main slap groove at 1:30 onwards. That’s funky as fuck whilst keeping it simple and in the pocket 🔥🔥🔥
OK! So I just watched The Funkiest Bass Solo Ever. I am an old woman, 67yo with sciatica. I gotta get up and DANCE!! My parents were both musicians, classical. Dad played with the Chicago Lyric Opera - tuba. And he did with a tuba what you do with your bass - trumpet notes, trills, you name it. I wish he were alive to see your work! My mom (piano) would have loved you, too. I am CRAZY for your wicked talent and composing skills. Thank you for sharing it. ❤
Lol I tried to be first and I clicked soon as it popped up and still was beaten by a few people 😂..love to see real talent get reckonized Charles def deserve it..the funk is strong in this one (reference to Charles darth Vador vid
Wow yesterday I just finished a college semester, and now I am graduating from my community college, what a fitting time for this video! I will take some time this summer to suck less at bass!
every time I listen to you play I am more impressed than the last time. I love it when you let the riff breathe with the finger tapping. right on the money!
Keep up the awesome content! You really inspire me allot as a bass player, and make me want to keep going at it so maybe one day I can reach your level! 🤟
"How much money could we save with one properly-calibrated funkometer that didn't break after each student?" "Charles Berthoud would break it no matter how you calibrate it."
The stuff you learned in Slapology is perhaps some of the best groove playing I've ever heard in my life. Truly Victor Wooten level. The student is becoming the master.
Charles, I'm not always a fan of your videos (and it's just a to each their own type situation) but ain't no one on the internet that can criticise your ability to slap the absolutely shit out that wood.
DUDE ... that's some mad skills. I had one of my nephews mock a guy who wanted to play bass I will show him this next time I see him. I love the rich tones of bass instruments, you shredded it !
Awesome playing! I understand the need for a meter in such cerimonies, but in real life you can't never get too funky! Plus, Charles can't avoid adding some beautiful melodic taps
So we have slapology... what other classes should there be at Slap Bass University? 🤔👇🏻
Tapology
Pickology
phyingsics style
@@roguesquid2773 illegal
Groovology
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how Charles and his videos never get boring
AGREED..That’s cuz there’s always bass in it ❤️
Very epic
Sasageyo 👊
One of the reasons I still have a RUclips account
@@rossmassey4213 noice
AMAZING, Charles! 🔥🔥🔥
Hey Scott!
He ignor u 😂😂
Please do some collabs both of you are great..👍
yooo it's sbl
Do a collab Mr. Scott
Charles will never admit it , but he has to be one of the best bassists on earth right now. The technique is insane but what gets me is the clarity of it all.
Modest and humble, on top of that!
Definitely best on youtube
I second that if no one else has yet!
I don't want to agree cos there is always is always someone better, but I just say I haven't seen many close, if you get past his memes Davie is a extremly versatile and skilled player, but I must agree charles does have so much clarity in his notes
@@conner1466 Davie lost his passion because of the pressure of nearly 10M subs and it shows. Charles plays better.
The solo was so funky that other instruments just materialized out of nowhere and started jamming along.
Underrated comment 😂
When you slap so hard the universe starts jamming along.
that awkward moment when you forget to take off your headphones at graduation
Easy mistake to make
@@CharlesBerthoud happens all the time
Yeah I can see myself doing that too lol headphones are part of my head for good 2 years now
i cant remember how my face looks without my headphones :(
Hey, happens to the best of us.
I mean it happens to Charles.
Cuz he's the best.
My favorite part: 1:51 to 2:10 ... sooo cool, funky and technical... here's another well deserved like
Agreed. It's hard to be both.
I never graduated from Slap Bass Uni,
but I sure did graduate with flying colors in Slap Like University!
i liked this so fast...such a beautiful comment
i would hit the like but i will live it being 69, just for more funk
Did you train under other bass great Davie504?
2:07 those little pinky tweaks are so lit
You saw it too! Exceptional stuff!
Man, that last stretch after he pretends to struggle filling the funk gauge is just so badass.
Thought Charles will do it over again after that one note with smiley on 2:07 😂
The 20 seconds from 1:50 to 2:10 made me realize that you are the best bass player I have ever heard.
I someday wish to learn all the techniques for my accordion in the same fashion that you've learned your electric bass.
Thanks for being a huge inspiration and for your overall passion man.
This RUclipsr is beyond word underrated.
Probably the most epic uni graduation ever🤟🏽
Damn Charles. My 1 year old and I were boogieing hard. If you could see the smile you plastered on his face you'd be proud.
That's funky as hell
Edit: It gets even better at the end!
Man he really keeps outdoing himself with each composition, we are reaching funk levels that shouldn't even be possible. damn
That funk bar is broken..it shoulda been maxed from the beginning with how funky the whole thing sounded!! Another great piece Charles great job 👏
when you realize he is not only graduate, a Masteral, Doctorate and a Dean officer at the Slap Bass University
Salute to you sir!
Charles clearly shows that you CAN be technical as hell without losing the groove and stay funky all time long! What a class act!
In every solo you do, there's always a small line that does it for me, takes it to the next level. In this case it was that amazing lick at 2:03, sick.
Not sure which is crazier the fact I looked for the first student in the reflection of his glasses, or the fact I saw him.
1:51 please write a song with this riff or just put this solo on some platform. It' s too good.
That is literally the funkiest solo I've ever heard
Charles you're absolutely INSANE, that song is a MASTERPIECE. It must be one of the best slap solos ever created. Thank you man you made my day !!!
Slap bass university genuinely sounds like one of the best places to be in the world.
I always tap the like button before a Charles video starts
I love how the teacher was so supportive unlike the other instructors Charles had to deal. Way to go for the slapology professor!
I come back to 2021 to hear the Slapology every now and then
Fantastic. That theme at 0:55 is pure magic, I could listen to this for 3 hours. Good thing I have no plans tonight.
yes
My favorite part as well. Beyond genius
God that bass tone and playing is just perfect
You and Davie made me take up the bass, I've played lots of instruments in the past but this one is the first I love.
I can only hope to be as amazing as you are some day. I see your hands and my brain doesn't even comprehend how you make those sounds come out.
Charles, you're awesome dude. Love watching you killing that bass bro.
I love these bass solos. Though the gimmicks are always interesting, and this was a fun one, man the playing...just off the charts man.
1:50 🔥
I'm so glad you exist man, I've been a 6 string guitarist all my life (over 20 years, I'm only 27) and your channel is the first thing that's ever made me want to learn bass, im even thumping Tosin style on my 8 string to make up for not having a one, anything that resembles the fat tone of a bass. One of these days something is going to give and I'm going to end up totally transitioning.
Charles is so good that even his rare flubs are super funky
You are an absolute machine!🤯
I watched this video last night for the first time. I spent the day hanging off of a helicopter working on power lines and I COULD NOT GET the lick that starts at 2:12 out of my head ALL DAY! 🤣🤣
Wonderful playing, Charles!!
I have a feeling that this bass guitar will be a very valuable piece of art.
Everyone talking about the lick at 1:50 whereas I love how he changed the main slap groove at 1:30 onwards. That’s funky as fuck whilst keeping it simple and in the pocket 🔥🔥🔥
This is without doubt the best bassist ever
0:43 is the face of being proud of oneselfs playing
Amazing! Love your Bass and Editing skills!
after a punch of funky slaps, then it comes a lot of feeling tappings (0:56) , then it goes back to funky slaps, man that was brilliant!
2:06 that was smooth
OK! So I just watched The Funkiest Bass Solo Ever. I am an old woman, 67yo with sciatica. I gotta get up and DANCE!! My parents were both musicians, classical. Dad played with the Chicago Lyric Opera - tuba. And he did with a tuba what you do with your bass - trumpet notes, trills, you name it. I wish he were alive to see your work!

2:06 gets me everytime lol
Amazing, the funkiest and most soulful bass solo I’ve seen since I don’t know when.
He's one of the best bass guitar players I've seen.
Honestly taking bass lessons from charles personally is like a dream come true
EARLY NOTIFICATION GANG WADDUP
Early gang
The best gang ever 🙏🏻
Lol I tried to be first and I clicked soon as it popped up and still was beaten by a few people 😂..love to see real talent get reckonized Charles def deserve it..the funk is strong in this one (reference to Charles darth Vador vid
Part where he combines slap and tap seamlessly is the best part.
Lets not forget to appreciate those bends and vibratos👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾😭😭😭😭😭
Wow yesterday I just finished a college semester, and now I am graduating from my community college, what a fitting time for this video! I will take some time this summer to suck less at bass!
W T F this is just too good every time i hear you play anything my love for you keeps increasing
every time I listen to you play I am more impressed than the last time. I love it when you let the riff breathe with the finger tapping. right on the money!
Keep up the awesome content! You really inspire me allot as a bass player, and make me want to keep going at it so maybe one day I can reach your level! 🤟
Unbelievable how absolutely perfect and awesome you play your instrument.
100 of those views are from me, I've been listening this on repeat for hours now,. NOW I GOT MY FUNK BACK ON TRACK
Brilliant! Just got back after my 11th day of work, watched this and started grinning. Thankyou.
That bit at 1:51 was just so good I actually shouted "oh yeah" out loud, couldn't help myself.
I feel like this should be a series, each episode with a different student playing a different genre. Good stuff!
Oxford be like:
WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN!!!
I love, LOVE the low EQ bass in the background.
Where’s my jaw? Oh man, this one was outstanding.
Left mine in the basement of a 60 floor high rise block!
My favorite jam of yours. I’ve returned to listen to it many times.
That must have hit Davie504 right in the feels...
0:24 so groovy, love it🔥
0:55 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
2:09 best lick i've ever heard
As a wise man once said:
*Stay Funky, bros*
Oh my God... This is just amazing!
"How much money could we save with one properly-calibrated funkometer that didn't break after each student?"
"Charles Berthoud would break it no matter how you calibrate it."
The stuff you learned in Slapology is perhaps some of the best groove playing I've ever heard in my life. Truly Victor Wooten level. The student is becoming the master.
Beautiful playing man, so much flavor all around.
Mr B: I’m a 6 string slinger since 73. Watching you is more fun than a barrel of bassists;) Weehaw!
Thank you Mr. Berthoud for rekindling my love for funk. Going and turning on Victor right now and see where that takes me!
Here I am just grooving to him jamming out on a bass guitar. Love it
One of the best bass player I ever heard...Amazing.
Charles, I'm not always a fan of your videos (and it's just a to each their own type situation) but ain't no one on the internet that can criticise your ability to slap the absolutely shit out that wood.
This is One Of my favourite videos of all time.
Can we just recognize how good this manz is at bass
Charles is now like a coffee for me, cant get through a day without its dose of bass
2:08 - meep! Love it!
Love how you don't take yourself too seriously! You put the fun in funk.....
Great as always. 👍
Fantastic...I like professor Charles when he's nice and gets into what Charles is doing
Kick Ass solo
DUDE ... that's some mad skills. I had one of my nephews mock a guy who wanted to play bass I will show him this next time I see him. I love the rich tones of bass instruments, you shredded it !
I play bass, I can't do anything like this, but I really love and am thankful that there are talented people
Like the subtle backing instruments. Well done sir.
Making me a better bass player 1 video at a time. Love it! Thank you!
And it sounds so clean and smooth. Amazing.
OMG, that is just so FUNCADELICIOUS!
Gets more emotivational every time it's watched!
WOOOWWW!!! That was beyond awsomeness!!
That bit that starts around 1:52 is absolutely nasty, I love it lmao
Awesome playing! I understand the need for a meter in such cerimonies, but in real life you can't never get too funky!
Plus, Charles can't avoid adding some beautiful melodic taps
Cannot watch without a smile or bass face😊😆 amazing Charles
Oh man that first jam... incredible.
If youtube realized their mystake and brought you back im sm so gladi can enjoy your funkness again!
