Weird, i'm no drummer but i've always been good at that.. But then again, i've most likely been playing with metronome... I've seen two drummers get better with click tracks, getting better at keeping tempo even without them. Both were good before but after they were solid like a clock and groove became more natural, less thinking seemed to be involved.

beautiful playing at the end my friend. Tonally deep and pure, very resonant and nice departure from the addictive drive so many have to play lightening fast as if the instrument were meant to be a machine gun. Do much more of this. Find an aesthetic in silence between notes and in the richness of single notes and deliberate harmonies.

The internet is blowing talent up exponentially. We really didn’t see this type of genius in the sixties and seventies

Felix Martin is a Venezuelan musician. When Steve Vai came to Venezuela, Felix opened the show for him. I went to that concert, so I had a night filled with pure Felix Martin and Steve Vai's awesomeness. Best concert ever. By the way, Steve was blown away with Felix's playing.

That last bass bit was one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever heard on a bass. If you don't finish composing that, you're depriving the world of an amazing piece.

That human metronome guy was unreal! Love the melody of your original song. Go for it!

Amazing musicians all of you! I'm 58 and am just amazed by your generation taking music further than where you found it! The drummer, WOW!! Amazing timing. I agree "the human metronome"! The music industry can be brutal on musicians that don't know the business side of what you are doing. Have fun while you climb to stardom but make sure you can trust your management/Accountant, been there. I know that every generation thinks that the next music is something they don't understand or like and condemn it but I, as a musician understand what you are doing. The first guitar player I saw on youtube of your generation was Tosin Abasi! Google spell check doesn't even recognize his name yet? He watched all the 80's videos VHS that I watched and I never pulled from them like he did. I kept looking into "Animals as Leaders" and eventually found Charles Berthoud! I'm not a bass player but he has a great channel regardless of what instrument you play. I love your channel even as an old school guitar player from the 80's, you boys keep up the innovative creativity. You all are the future of some kid sitting in his room that will eventually make you go "WOW" like you did me. Good luck on your careers all of you!! LOVE IT!!!!

This original piece which you have composed is totally exquisite absolutely exquisite love it I hope to hear more of this this room is reminiscent of the early days of Brian Bromberg and some of the other greats you're bringing such grace and elegance to the base please keep going back you make me feel good when I hear you

I love this. Tapping the base really hits a nerve. There's something ethereal, surreal about the athmosphere when you hear that. The harsh slapping turn into some beautiful melody ... I t's uplifiting, like seeing our rotten world suddenly turn into a meadow of flowers ..

Man!!! Yall two playing together is amazing!!! Great melody at the end. And a great ending.

Love the original! I had chills when the higher melody kicked in around 6:56. Excited to hear the finished song. What really sets you apart from other top musicians (in my opinion) is how you manage to maintain beautiful melody, no matter which technique you're using. It really feels like every note is well thought out :)

Why are you and Felix not in a band, touring the world and bringing peace and harmony throughout the multiverse with your combined awesomeness???

That should be an opener for a movie , and I do hope you'll put the whole creation up when it's done, absolutely beautiful Charles, as usual

this first duet sounds so delightful. drove me to tears. thank you, guys!

Charles, I love the way you collaborate/challenge/engage other musicians. It's really entertaining.

Your original is so melodic and harmonic.....I LOVE IT! Complete it please! And as a drummer myself,the drummer you presented is JAWDROPPING!!....I still have to learn even if I already know much!

Bravo to all the musicians on this collab, very impressive. Your solo transported me to a far away forest. really beautiful.

The tones of the first guy so perfectly complimented...sergut. for the 2nd one, fujita sounded so deep in the pocket he came up with lint. and omg, that drummer's fills matching up was like him saying 'Oh please...'

I can't wait to hear the rest. awesome!

I love your work. Great changes. Can't wait to hear it completed.

Start writing full songs, and work with some of these KZread artists and make some new music for the future. This world needs people like you to make it different.

It's about 1:40 am and I'm glad I was awake to catch Charles' video so early

Just seen your video for the first time and it is amazing. The beauty is the melodic sensibilities you display in your composition mixed perfectly with technique. I hope you make a full length version of the end pice as it is a track I would definately like to hear more of this

That duet you did with Felix Martin was amazing! Beautiful, do you have more music like that? Also, your original piece is also amazing and I’d love to hear more!! Definitely hoping you’ll develop it into a full song!

It definitely sounds like there could be more. You've composed it so well that you have the ability to use it in any section (beginning, middle, end) of the final version.

I think my favorite duo here was the excellent bass playing alongside Brandon Davis' drums. I would love to see you two work together on a full composition. As for the unfinished song at the end, it made me think of a cloaked figure walking through a rainy forest, and I can't imagine that finishing the song would be anything but great. Keep it up, Charles!

YES, YES!! Your original is beautiful! Love it…. Keep going wih it!!

This piece at the end was fantastic! Keep it up!

Your original is just extremely beautiful, it is a mix of eolian and dorian at the beginning if I'm not mistaken? Love the kinda medieval sound to it. And I just wanted to add that I think your channel is really one of the best in terms of music content nowadays. Thanks for bringing us your content.

Both the first and last should be turned into a full original. Loved them both!

I loved your song dude! Specially when you hit those high notes, such a good vibe 💜

That original is beautiful, so much feeling in it and would love to hear it made into a full length song. That drummer was really impressive too.

There are always haters. I recently had to comment on a meat chefs video, where a vegetarian was moaning that he was a bad person because he was a bad person for butchering the dead animal and using all the parts of the animal in his recipes. She had no real reason to be watching this particular video, but still felt she should hate and comment. At the end of the day I look at the ration of likes to dislikes. 100:1 seems to be the average. This one has over 200:1, therefore it’s a popular video and the haters are still going to be there, just in lesser numbers per view.

The new original played is great. Yes a full blown song. The Musicality was incredible and the phrasing very peaceful to listen to Just great!!!!!
