OH.... now I get it... The reason I suck at bass is because you took all the bass talent.. Bogart move Chuck.

Why you should choose Charles over the bear

I've been watching this on repeat for 20 minutes and it's still perfect. Nice work Charles.

Charles balances chords, slap, and tapping flawlessly. Never too much of anything.

This song needs a full version and be for sale..what a banger!

The amazing thing about Charles is that no comments were shown on the screen, nobody asked him to do this, yet one day he woke up and was like “I think I wanna make the craziest bass solo the worlds ever seen 🤔 “

I just let this play on repeat for ten minutes, and I'm still not bored with it! Awesome job!!!

Its like a fusion of Can't Stop with Megalovania and added B A S S. I approve :)

So, you mean music, (does that comment make me the jerk? Probably, everyone seems to agree that I’m an asshole.).

The thousands upon thousands of hours you've invested in your hands truly shines through with each performance. History will remember you for a very, very long time.

I love the fingerstyle section, that tone is sick and is so groovy

The slap is strong with this one...

Man that’s fast! If I play for an hour I can’t play that many notes 😝🔥

I'm endlessly amazed at what this guy can do... The musicality, technique, the style. But what really gets me is how unbelievably CLEAN it is. He could play a ZZ Top tune or something like this, and it's just as clean and even. I'm sure there's some kind of gear/compression at work, but it always sounds 100% smooth and fluid.

I need this on Spotify 😅 I could jam to this all day.

Holy crap! That was simply amazing. I’ve never seen anything played by a bassist that even comes close to that. C.B. is talented beyond any possible description. He plays on a level most musicians/bassists will never achieve in their lifetime.

In 1988 I bought the VHS with Alex Sclarevsky´s Slapping method, and here Charles Berthoud plays an exercise note for note very well !

This is the theme every platformer has wanted since the advent of 8bit gaming.

thank you for sharing your talent with the world

What a monster groove 😮

How can I explain this…. It’s like, a smile shows happiness so if my ears had a mouth they would smile every time I run across you playing while just randomly scrolling…. I just hope that didn’t get weird.

Okay, Okay... I've seen A LOT of bass players in my day (I'm 60) But really, I don't think ANYBODY can fuck with Charles. I know everyone wants to credit their heroes and Godfathers of Funk and all (myself included) But Goddam, Charles is just plain impeccable. Hands down to you man! You've taken it to the stratosphere and beyond! 🔥🔥🔥

THE GOAT

The best bass playing I've ever heard. 😮

Those harmonies in sixths are something else man!

That layering, or doubler effect, or whatever it is, after the first filtering sounds mad good!

Sounds nice!!✨🎷🐛

Charles is the best bassist ever

That's what's up, Chuck.

I don't know how this guy can get any better. He's not old enough to be that good. Mind-blowing.

Charles is an absolute stunner!

Absolutely LOVE your playing. Rhythm, groove, shred, tap, slap… you name it!

“Don’t mind me, I’m just taking the bass to the next level.”

Oh my gosh! That's simply insane, man! And those fills with 32-ish notes are just incredible!

Jeeeesus christ the speed on those double thumb runs is absurd

am i watching your videos to much if i knew exactly what video this is from 2 notes in? super funky!!

Beautiful! So freshing! I just took a few hours off btwn my Noon and Evening Business Events by napping and playing various Metal/Classical/Jazz Guitar/Bass/Violin Pieces on KZread. So great to wake up from a slumber and recharging to these great Songs and their Performing Musicians. I was Percussionist during School growing up, so it's all sweet to me. Again, Thanks🎉

Man, those 16th-note-triplet runs are insane. So tight!

Nah dawg he's been practicing daily for 12 years. Even he himself says it's practice. Anyone can do most things if they put their mind and time to it with enough motivation. Writing it off as just talent is a disservice to both Charles and yourself.

Absolutely need a full version of this. I have just enough guitar skill to recognise how good someone is when they make this look this easy... still shake my head after 20 repeats :p

Charles, I feel a deep need to tell you I got to play in a TTRPG where I got to play a bass player in college who idolized you, lol. Bass is not something I'll ever be good at, when it comes to music my instrument is my voice, but I have been so consistently awestruck by your skill and talent. You are an absolute pleasure to watch. I hope you can smile sometimes and realize just HOW good you are, even for a moment. Just don't let it get to your head, lol

This version including Giacomo Turra's guitar was great.

Stunning! Your dedication to the art shows. I think you are the best bass player ever. I can’t imagine 20 more years of experience. You should start writing books on bass playing. You have the creds.

Wow that is absolutely amazing playing and every note heard clear. Gee man I can't fault that, I'm blown away. I must have listened to this eight times it's insane wow respect. 100%

OK Broski, you can stop getting better every freaking day because you have officially reached the level of insanity

Mans sent my spirit on such a groovy bass slap trip, it left my skin with goosebumps. *A new subscriber has entered the fray*

Speed, accuracy, melodious and clean...and super 4 bass strings magic❤❤❤❤❤❤

There just Ain"t no one better than Charles.

The product of years of accumulated effort. Absolutely incredible.

Call the fire dept. that bass is on fire..

I've been watching a lot of blacktail studios and these tables look so much better with something other than black epoxy. I'd love to see you do some longer form videos!

Every band in the world will hire you for the rest of your life. That must be a great feeling.

I could play this with one hand blindfolded Charles. ❤❤❤

I didn't intend to watch this 20 times in a row. I just couldn't force myself to stop listening!!

And he makes it look easy

Insane playing as always

That tone is INSANE

Thank you Charles for constantly raising the bar. Your talent is amazing and I'm sure your work ethic is the same!

You, once more, absolutely killin' it!

My god, man, you're actually dangerous with your playing. 👍👍👍

That bass must owe you money because you was slappin the S#!T out of it! Wow!😮😮

This is absolute fire, i have known many great bass players this is impressive as hell

This man is THE G.O.A.T. bassist! Change my mind!

Love the bit of RHCP inspiration at the beginning

Mister Charles!! So glad to see you again! Come play at my son's bar mitzvah celebration!

This GUY plays what's ever in his head... He's that good ‼️ I can only imagine this, 🚫 NOT 🚫 "play it"....

Thats crazy man. Your bg tracks are dope af.

There were runs on here that are outstanding!... in addition to all the techniques and abilities. There is a dude on here doing a "slap challenge" ...I'm not pimping anyone's channel on yours...but would be great to see both of you slap it down! Phenomenal stuff! ✌️

Absolutely mind-boggling. There's no freaking way someone could be that good.

Nice to hear you using some effects in this one, I always find myself starved of affected Berthoud bass

Excellent l'artiste 👏🎹.

This is RHCP combined with vulfpeck and I love it!

Best short bass video of all time.

That's the warmup

had to watch it 3 times its Soooo good!!..Bro that tempo is supernatural.

That's fantastic man!

I watched this in a loop over a dozen times, enjoying it more and more. Great Job Charles 👏🏽

I think Charles just might be vying for world's best overall bassist. Slap 'n pop, fingering, tapping, soloing, groove, etc. I'm hard-pressed to think of another contemporary of his that absolutely slays in all of those techniques like he does.

This man is probably one of the greatest bass players of all time..Thanks for the clip

Appreciation 10 times more when you can see the music being made. 👍👍👍👍

I heard Suicidal Tendencies, Wooten, Miller, and afew other in there..... You a mad man kid.

Well, this certainly lives up to the title! Only thing left is for music to try to play him.

Not only this is amazing but also very pleasant to listen to. Thank you very much for making it.
