I’m deeply sorry about all the talking at the end of this video. I’ve gone to extreme lengths in an attempt to cut down on my notoriously long podcasts, even going as far as to practise John Cage’s “4:33” 40 hours per day, 8 days per week. But no matter what I do, the urge to ramble on endlessly for several seconds is too much. I just hope you can forgive me for this 😢.... Trust me I'm funny

You can bet the ends of his fingers are hard as rocks! And you can also bet the bass he’s playing has a super neck on it, that rings much easier than any cheap dime store bass, new strings helps too. But Charles is a Prodigy! A rare talent, a musical genius! I wish he would be like Geddy Lee and start a band of equally talented musicians, and turn out about 40 albums of magic!

It's probably got a really tap-friendly setup. Having tapped a bit when I was starting to know what I was doing, I could never pull-off: I always had to give the string a bit of sideways friction.

Definitely a big thumb’s up from me (with a mainly classical double bass and piano background). My tastes in bass run toward Mikyung Sung (so much expression and such phrasing!) but what you do is awesome too. Approved!

Still waiting on the Le Fay Charles Berthoud signature

I absolutely love your original composition. This is beautiful! As a constructive suggestion, try using less visual editing (the zooming in and out to the rhythm, the glowing, shaking, etc) with your original compositions? These effects have a hype-ey and sort of comedic effect that doesn't fit as well with a lot of your incredible compositions. Please keep up the awesome compositions!

Really nice bass take... Is really amazing how natutural it all seems to come to you.

Very nice melody and playing!

Indeed magnificent, as Davie would say it "EPICO"

This song could be a full on movie intro. However if this song would be the intro to a movie I'd stop watching because no way the movie can top it.

This was mesmerising, and I know literally nothing about bass (I stopped pronouncing it like a fish only a month ago...) Would it fit the general nature of your channel if you would explain somewhere any basic notions every now and then? For example, what is going non- standard with the tuning here? Having said that, I would happily live not knowing if I could listen to such a piece on a regular basis. Mesmerising.

@RobFlaxMusic

4 жыл бұрын

Maria Vlasiou I can help with that last one... the usual tuning for a bass is EADG. So having the lowest string be a B instead is... a mindf@ck. B to E makes sense, and that feels “normal-ish, but the wrong interval in the wrong place.” Then E up to B is a fifth, and that’s weird, and then another E again (again, a normal-ish interval, but transposed.). In other words all the strings are drastically different from their normal notes, and the interval between the strings is also messed up. On top of that, you’ll notice the tuning mentions a fifth note, F#. This is achieved by changing the highest string with the special extra gadget installed on the headstock, that allows Charles to instantly tune the string up a step (from E up two semitones to F#), with precision. This is, again, not the normal note for that string (usually it’s G, so we’re still a half step off), and now the spacing of notes between the adjacent string and this one are also fifths. Basically this is the weirdest possible tuning that sounds good.

Davie:Slappers Charles:Tappers

Amazing as usual. Great dynamics. 👍

Very impressive and sound good.

Imagine he tried the tuning C-A-C-A instead of C-G-C-G
