I'm convinced that you can play slap on just about any instrument and make it sound amazing. We need to hear slap banjo or slap dulcimer next.

One thing I've noticed is that, no matter how busy and technical your playing gets, it's always cleanly-executed and highly, HIGHLY melodic. I know you're a bassist almost full-time, but I for one would LOVE to see you have a slap guitar/slap bass/piano trio video. That'd be...amazing.

The exact reason why i also love ichika compared to a lot of other modern guitarists. Tim henson and generally polyphia have ridiculous technique, but their songs are not easy to listen to because of their techniques. Ichikas music is very soothing, complicated, yet very easy to follow

Ide say he's listen to a life time of different music with his ears and practice. Some people listen to music differently than other people, and his brain has absorbed a little bit of everything I imagine.
If you made me listen to this for the first time with my eyes closed, I could've sworn it was Ichika. A bassist playing the guitar on this level this nonchalantly is mind-blowing.

To pluck on a bass with as much umph as you do and then go pluck so delicately on a guitar is the real kicker here. The control the fella has.
If it has strings, I'm thinking this dude has a fair chance of being able to play it, and play it well. He is a picture of what a musical gift and a ton of practice can do.

That 6-string short-scaled piccolo bass sounds nice!
i genuinely want this as a full song
The clarity is absolutely mind-blowing. The melodies are so fantastic and rich, technical ability out of this world. I could listen to this all day long and never get bored one second. It's almost a shame that you're not a guitarist cause holy do I wanna hear more of this!
Not sure how so much creativity & musicianship can be packed into a one-minute arrangement... but there it is!
This is just pure insanity. You're legit the best bass player I know
That was amazing Charles! Very funky, musical, technical, all at once. Please keep slapping the guitar!
We need a full album!
Listen, I’m a guitar player but I prefer bass more in most situations, but this is unironicly the best vid you have ever made
That is absolutely amazing, one man band with a single instrument.
I know I’ll never be as good as you, but you definitely make me inspired to get better. I’ve improved so much on guitar in just the past few months, but I’ve got a long way to go to be able to compose anything like this. You’re my favorite KZread Virtuoso. Keep up the good work!
Technique and display of talent aside , it's just great on the ears , very nice 😎
Funky and very smooth 💫
You better post a video with a funkalicious bass track playing over this
You've been at it again, I see. Bravo, Charles! Very nice indeed.
I'm glad 6 string piccolo basses are becoming one of your interests!
You're obviously a marvelous guitarist. Bravi!
All these amazing little jams! Makes one wonder where you pull all this inspiration from. Keep up the great work!
Amazing as usual Charles, you just keep setting your bar higher!
This dude from another planet..Charles has an unreachable thirst ..so he gotta do it while he has the time ..because everything much change
That was really beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
funky as hell
You're an absolute machine mate! It would be amazing to see what you could do with one of those hybrid guitars, the ones with like 3 bass strings and 5 guitar strings and the separate bass/guitar pickups
This sounds wonderful, Tomo Fujita would be proud of you, Charles. 😁
That double-stop tapping is 🤌🏼 mwah!
Mesmerising as ever Charles - your technique is utterly impecable. Almost magical fingering there... Blown away (again)
Not only the best bass player on the planet, but easily one of the best guitarists too !
You know Charles is awesome when he can make a guitar sound good
Strong Intervals - Touch and Go album vibes in this one!
I would do anything to be able to play like that um, you know, except practice 6 to 8 hours a day for years on end. Thank you for doing that for us.
Wait, Charles is also the Best guitarist in the world? Now I'm 100% sure that he has the infinity stones somewhere in his possession.
lovely! the part starting round 0:32 reminded me of ichika nito
Woaaah, your guitar playing is amazing bro!
Waiting for "When a bassist slaps a piano"

Too few? He's basically a new channel still. He's had a ton of growth and he's at the point where he has so many subs that it's nearly impossible for him not to branch out away from KZread in some form or another. That's the way it should be. It's easy to forget how big those numbers are when you see bigger numbers all the time but 1.5 million is a lot. Even 100,000.. concert tickets, merch, physical and digital album sales. That could be millions and millions of dollars 👍 I hope he's so successful he never has to show his face on KZread again. He's that good
Ok man! That's enough with these guitars!... You should finaly play slap on a double bass!!!! That would be a real thing!!)

Felt like you were channeling Nito himself for a moment there, amazing work!

This bassist is better than 90% of guitarists
Doesn't matter the video. You always impress with your ability to play multiple style instruments, utilizing multiple techniques, and sometimes also with unique setups. Like the whammy bar on the bass. I never would have thought about that but you made it seem effortless to play on top of the fact it gave such a interesting texture to the music.
