This guy has more technical ability than 3 or 4 hair metal bands. Or 30 to 40 grunge bands.

It's nice to note that the drummer found some sticks during the solo but decided to let the bassist have it. Seems like the drummer might be a new bass fan!

As a drummer, I have had sticks basically explode under heavy playing. I've lost count of the number of times a stick broke and the other half of it recoiled off a drum and just went flying 😂😂😂

I’m a bassist and I was playing with my band and my drummer was having trouble so our music teacher started playing the drums. He plays really loud and ended up snapping the stick. He went in the back and got new ones but it was pretty funny.

I was playing a gig in a real dive, about 25 people there, and the drummer who does bash those skins broke his stick, and it flew up and stuck the guitar player in the neck! He finished his guitar solo with blood running down his chest and a stick hanging out of his neck! He wasn’t very happy about it, but the crowd went wild!

Charles is obviously a world-class musician but I want to take a moment to point out that in addition the composition and editing in all his videos is always excellent. I'd love to see a video where he walks us through how he designs, shoots and edits one of these!

Bass solos _are_ a mistake 99% of the time because they break the performance - stuff has to lay out of the way of the bass's round and mellow sound so as to not drown it, and usually have a hard time going under a bass since the solo won't be that high. As a result, the music usually just stops dead in its tracks. And on top of that the solo is (like a large chunk of solos on other instruments as well) going to be someone masturbating on the fretboard and farting out notes as fast as they can. May excite some, but almost always leaves me cold. Charles' piece here works because the solo is not wankery (mostly), but mostly just a tasty groove that plays to the bass' strengths and not to the player's need to show off. The brief note-spamming moments are by far the weakest ones.

You really do something unique- I was laughing by the time the drummer’s sticks exploded. Then you pivot straight into the kind of music that relaxes and energizes simultaneously- it was a relaxing sound and vibe, yet you throw all of these virtuosic moments in that keep to the beat so comfortably that it creates energy and joy for the listener. And, wouldn’t you know it, right at the end you throw in a hilarious parody of guitar solos, with the extra touch coming from that organ’s single drone to back it up. Thank you for the wonderful, creative, joy filled content!

Damn this was SICK. Your chord progressions are always so friggin tasteful!

Yay! The Berthoud Band is back. My favorite videos

That was one of the best soloes I have heard. So melodic and musical with focus on sounding good to the listener and not just showing off how fast you can play. Thanks.

We played these cool licks in our heads but you express them brilliantly into reality through your playing. ❤

Awesome as usual!!

U are nothing less than Amazing. I’ve been playing bass for a long time and I could imagine being able to play like that. Inspirational

I’ll be honest Charles, the videos where you mix your intoxicating humour along with the awesomeness of your bass-playing are the ones I enjoy and laugh during the most! These skits are pure gems, I especially remember the Jazz and Beethoven ones very fondly 🤣👌🙌, keep up the great work mate!
