Perhaps the best musician I’ve heard; so many styles ,techniques, and every note is clean! I love that he takes his music seriously but doesn’t take himself too seriously! He seems like a genuinely nice guy who hasn’t let his ego go to his head as so many have.

A lot of people can play "fast technical stuff" and it's often fun to listen to. _Once..._ Berthoud does all that flashy stuff and MORE, but he does it without *ever* losing the pocket. Every note Charlie plays sits *perfectly-in-the-groove* and it makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE. After a full hour of basstravaganza - you still want to hear MORE !!! 😀

Charles is the embodiment of all the legendary bassists combined.

I first saw Charles during time he participated in Davie's challenge. And from that day forward, Charles is getting better and better up to now., Monster musician. Astonishing man of music..

Dude is hilariously talented?!?! Can't stop watching!!

@@kaiman593 you're definitely right, but the thing is, most people don't improve quickly enough because they don't know how to practice efficiently. Charles finished a professional music school (he wears the grad ring on his right pinky), pretty sure they gave him extremely solid foundations on how to improve in a quick and efficient manner, which is an advantage that self-taught bassists don't have

This is one of the most spot on comments on this thread. He's got the ear, but also has practiced every note and silence to the point of seamless, effortless execution. Talent is a short way of saying character+discipline+genuine love for your art. There's no kudos enough to be fair with the hours he invested in achieving that level, just enjoy, he amazed and try to receive some inspiration 🤘

You've done something good for the world. You can die happy knowing this.

Hats off to the one who compiles the videos. Your dedication brought laughter into the lives of many👍🏼..

And now I know why I play on my bass, but I am a professional Geologist. If I had to perform like that, I would starve. Amazing work!

IF??? No question to me, and I am a huge Geddy Lee fan. He is amazingly talented in each of the different styles of Bass playing. I've honestly never heard anyone play the bass like him.

He is the greatest... I think there is nothing he cant do, that is what basically defines a GOAT. a lot of bass players have invented techniques, but he has all of them and is too damn precise

Best bass playing I've ever seen anywhere,doubt if you will ever be without work, in one band or another,once a group sees this video,your phone should be ringing off the hook, totally awesome bass player. 🤣👍

It's been 32 mins. .....can't stop watching....its like watching magic

1 hr. 4 secs of pure pleasure! Thanks for the compilation. Great job!

I may never be as good as Charles, but I get a ton of inspiration from him, davie504 and others. You can always play a simpler version of their stuff.

I'm 66 and play 6 string fretless and fretted, and I'm good. Charles is THE GOAT!!! He humorously thumbs his nose at everybody. I'm sure he is the favorite of all the masters that he learned from. Yu da man, Charles.

Best hour I spent all year listening to music!

This is a freaking masterclass, tour de force of base playing. Can't imagine there is anyone better in the world.

I can't get enough of this guy. He's really a genius. I think "WOW" covers it. It certainly shortened a longwinded comment nobody will read. Wow!

It's complete! That's all you need. A one man band! Bravo

Two things that stand out for me is how melodic he is and his arrangements are just unbelievable. It’s like at every turn I’m pleasantly surprised with something he does during each piece. The cats got groove.

@rucani: When I noticed the heart I received for my previous comment about this being the best video ever, I admit that I was briefly confused. This whole video--the song selection, the order in which the songs are presented, the way everything flows from one song to the next... Everything is so flawless, I was under the impression that this had been put together by Charles Berthoud and had always been intended to be something he meant to go together. Now, I realize that this is a collection of his work that you compiled. I have done my share of video editing and it's not anywhere near as easy as people might think. Have you ever noticed that one of the highest-paid people in a film production, one of the most important people responsible for the success of a film, is the editor? (I learned this many years ago when I was dating a lovely video editor named Loretta, but I digress.). So please allow me to make a special call out to you, @rucani, because the best video I have ever seen/heard since the beginning of time would not have existed had it not been for your brilliance as an editor. Thank you so much.

I’ve played in multiple (quasi-successful) bands in my youth, (drummer); and I would have given one of my arms and gone Deaf Leopard if I could have had a bassist with 1/2 this kid’s skills. I’m gobsmacked.

I laughed when I saw 1+ hour. Then I watched/enjoyed the whole thing =)
