My Mother passed away two days after you uploaded this video. I remember watching this at the time it was uploaded, My Mother was being taken off life support and died two days later because she couldn't breathe on her own due to aggressive brain cancer that had destroyed her brain. This tune will always bring back the feelings of sorrow I felt and still do but at the same time a sense of love and appreciation for the Mother I was blessed with. Thank you buddy. Liked and subbed.
Also the depths of potential melancholy in anticipation of those inevitable partings that must indeed follow life's grand adventure with those whom we love. F***! What storytelling!
I think Last Train Home was the ending credits song to a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure season. I wouldn't be surprised if he watches the show and was inspired. Edit: I just saw this is Charles Berthoud; he probably already knew the song.
This stainless fretless is one of the most beautiful sounding instruments I've ever heard. Not just anybody can play one of those things, and you make it sound effortless. My only complaint is, it wasn't long enough. More of these, please.
It’s videos like this that really impress me. Charles’ flashy playing is quite something, but the perfect intonation on such a difficult instrument, the fluency, that’s really classy.
Charles, there is no language in the universe I know of, that could describe your playing. The emotion, the technique, Your offerings touch the heart, soothe the soul, and baffle the mind. You are an 'other - worldly' talent we are blessed to enjoy. Thank-you in my language.
Just gorgeous 😍 Would love a 15 minute arrangement of this. I used to watch the first LOTR movie to put me to sleep in college. The Shire Theme is just beautiful.
I’m always amazed at the talent and creative abilities of such a young master of the bass guitar. Hauntingly beautiful!!! I would sure love to see Charles in concert someday, though at my age, it’s unlikely.
wonderful , splendid , marvolous , incredible - your technique n skill is beyond greatness , stunning what u can make possible on bass- admiration - greetings from germany
Charles: What can man do against such fretless bass? Davie: ride out with me... ride out and slap it Charles: for funk and glory? Davie: for the memes; for your people!
Charles, the beauty you bring to the world in videos like this makes the usual stupidity of the human experience worthwhile and more bearable. Great composition and expression. Awesome.
THIS IS AMAZING i literally watched lord of the rings last night on disord eith people lul, also you are so talented on the bass aaaaaaa And already 1k views in 4 mins that is also really impressive
Lord of the Fretless. Always amazingly inspiring and so creative what you do on a instrument that for many many years was regularly shoved in the background. Lowest in the mix. Rarely featured. And typically the instrument played by the least talented member of so many bands. Not anymore!!! Sometimes I think it would be nice to see you thrive in a band. And then I come to my senses. Many bands would love to have you and need your tasty and lyrical playing. But you don't really need them. Thanks for bringing this instrument to the forefront. One bassist to rule them all, Lord of the Bassists. Haha
Дорогой Чарльз, я - опытный музыкант, дирижёр, фанат твоих аранжировок!!) ты каждый раз сносишь мне крышу своим звучанием!!!) с любовью из Санкт-Петербурга!!
You're really pushing the limits of what is considered possible on bass, while developing a growing talent for composition and arrangement from video to video. Just keep doing what you do, it's only getting better and better since I started watching your videos.

We need a much longer version. Everything this man does, sounds epic.
Somehow I suspected you would watch this channel too! Maybe it’s the screen name.
@@RamseyDewey
I wonder what else we have in common.
I watched it at 75% speed 😂
Agreed.
Yes, please!

Sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss man, stay strong
Goosebumps reading this dude, sorry for your loss. Stay strong
Sorry bout this man!
stay strong my guy
that’s a really sick bass
... player!
It is
Takes at least two hobbits to play.
Still waiting for a video of him going in depth and talking about the Le Fay basses
Lórien bass.
The Shire theme perfectly encapsulates the feeling of enjoying the comforts of home.
so true. * all the more exaggerated with the fact they leave to go through hell and finally come back again.
Also the depths of potential melancholy in anticipation of those inevitable partings that must indeed follow life's grand adventure with those whom we love.
F***! What storytelling!
Really reminds me of Last train home by Pat Metheny. What a nice sounding tune, that bass is awesome and the player it's even more cool. Nice vid!!
Had the same reaction! I love that tune!
Was about to write the same thing.
Same. I came down here in the comment section to say this and was glad it was near the top of comments section already!

@@rstyknfe You are right about the ending credits. I recall The Consouls bass player mentioned how 🤯 it was when he realised it.

Your arrangements always have so much heart in it. Beautifully played. ❤️
Thanks!
ya charles is like the only person who makes bass seem interesting
@@youtubeuser206 you don't listen to enough bass 💀
true
Hello Charles! I really like the way he plays. I would like to know what tuning you used for this song? Thanks
Beautiful... Reminded me strongly of other old master piece: Pat Metheny's "Last Train Home".
Keen ear you've got.
this guys arrangements and compositions are always incredible .
Thanks!
@@CharlesBerthoud you're an inspiration man, thanks for all ur vids.
True. Lots of bass virtuosity out there, but they do not write and arrange beautiful pieces.
This made me tear up. I agree that we need a longer version of this masterpiece. Truly a sound worth coming back to.
The most interesting remix of a beautiful song I've ever heard. It moves in a way that is truly original. I'm so glad I found this.
Thanks!
This reminds me of the song "Last Train Home" by Pat Metheny
I was just watching Fellowship with my 4 year old for the first time! and he's already a Charles fan :)
Has a Pat Metheny Last Train Home feel to it. Nice!
Exactly my thought 👍🏻
Mine too!
Yup, just needs some ethereal vocals!
Same vibes here
In fact, I'm gonna give it a go now 🚂
It’s videos like this that really impress me. Charles’ flashy playing is quite something, but the perfect intonation on such a difficult instrument, the fluency, that’s really classy.
Fretless bass really sounds good.
Another amazing original, well played Charles.
Thanks but it's actually a cover of The Shire theme from the Lord of the Rings movies!
@@CharlesBerthoud yes but the arrangement is definitely original!
We have rain today with dramatic skies - putting this music on while driving around sounds heavenly for sure! ❤
Six months ago I didn't even know you could play bass with a bow, now it's one of my favorite sounds 😊
Yeah I love it, especially on fretless!
*classical double bass players enter the chat*
But for real, if you're looking for more bowed bass, Edgar meyer is exceptional. He uses a standup tho.
Check out vids by Damian Coccio!
Does anyone else just watch these and feel like never playing the bass again. You’re too good man.
This is my favorite LOTR song, and this arrangement is amazing. I wish it was longer!
No one else plays the bass like you Charles, it's refreshing and takes bass playing to another lever🙂
Nice
👏🏻🎉🥇
Charles, there is no language in the universe I know of, that could describe your playing. The emotion, the technique, Your offerings touch the heart, soothe the soul, and baffle the mind. You are an 'other - worldly' talent we are blessed to enjoy. Thank-you in my language.
Man that was too short. Please make a longer one. Such a beautiful version 🤩🤩🤩
This brought me to tears. I have such an outstanding love for LOTR so to hear this was absolutely amazing, thank you!
Getting Pat Metheny Vibes from this. Sounds fantastic!
I was just thinking it sounded like Last Train Home
Same. Yep definitely some Last Train Home inspiration
Those harmonics on a bass at 0:20 are insane. This s a very talented player.
Love these covers man keep up the good work
Thanks!
I want an album of this. Absolutely stunning.
Just gorgeous 😍 Would love a 15 minute arrangement of this. I used to watch the first LOTR movie to put me to sleep in college. The Shire Theme is just beautiful.
You played that so fricking smooth, great job. I would love to hear a longer version
just friggin gorgeous. felt like I was skiing down that fretboard on an icy winter morning with warm coffee in my belly
I know what you mean 🤣
I’m always amazed at the talent and creative abilities of such a young master of the bass guitar. Hauntingly beautiful!!!
I would sure love to see Charles in concert someday, though at my age, it’s unlikely.
I love it when you playing the FRETLESS-STEEL BASS :D
Thanks, I love how it sounds!
I was not expecting to be hit with SO MANY GOOSEBUMPS, that was so beautiful!
Can we get like... a 5 minute version of this? 😅 Or 5 hour for that matter. Amazing!
The ebow part sounded like a wind instrument, so cool.
wonderful , splendid , marvolous , incredible - your technique n skill is beyond greatness , stunning what u can make possible on bass- admiration - greetings from germany
What a beautiful arrangement. I wish that version was abit longer
This made me feel like this is what life would sound like in Lord of the rings
Please make a full version. This is so good.
Charles: What can man do against such fretless bass?
Davie: ride out with me... ride out and slap it
Charles: for funk and glory?
Davie: for the memes; for your people!
cringe
@@jf9052 L take
outstanding
Simply THE best bassist in the world!
Sounds like Last Train Home by Pat Metheny Group. I love it!
the guitar part, you mean?
@@delarkaBCN The whole thing.
Charles, the beauty you bring to the world in videos like this makes the usual stupidity of the human experience worthwhile and more bearable. Great composition and expression. Awesome.
I just finished watching the lord of the rings 2. The timing of this video is perfect.
Nice, I rewatch them every couple of years haha
@@CharlesBerthoud Nice. I'm watching them for the first time.
Shame the Amazon show is making a mockery of Tolkien's vision and even Peter Jackson's adaptation(arguably the best trilogy ever).
Same with me man
@@CharlesBerthoud LotR/Silmarillion themed concept album for solo bass when?? 🤔
Please, please, PLEASE! We need a full length version. ♥
THIS IS AMAZING i literally watched lord of the rings last night on disord eith people lul, also you are so talented on the bass aaaaaaa
And already 1k views in 4 mins that is also really impressive
This melted my heart.

The ebow sounds super sick on the fretless!
Спасибо! Восторг и восхищение!
Literally watched this 12 times despite already being late for work. Incredible!
Дорогой Чарльз, я - опытный музыкант, дирижёр, фанат твоих аранжировок!!) ты каждый раз сносишь мне крышу своим звучанием!!!) с любовью из Санкт-Петербурга!!
Harmonics on the fretless bass are otherworldly...😮 Thank you for this ☺️
Молодец, хорошо играешь! Мир тебе и твоему дому.
Man, I never thought that I need something so much in my life but I really need the full version of this, please. It was freaking AWESOME
Your skill and technique just blow me away!
Might be the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard
Please do a long version of this one day! That is just amazing!!!
I didn't know that music could feel comfy. But this, this feels comfy.
Rocks! Pirates of the Caribbean next perhaps?!
My favorite movie soundtrack played by my favorite musician, this gonna be a good day.
I've listened to this on loop for about 15 loops, i would kill for a longer version
That’s one of the most beautiful basses I’ve ever seen
Your skills are one thing, but the way you feel music is just a pure madness.
Have been listening to this ever since
when i watch your content i can literally see how much u trained and worked hard, you are the best inspiration for the bass community thanks 🙏🏻
A life dedicated to an instrument and music ......this is the result. Outstanding ( as usual)
It's so beautiful, I am actually tearing up
sounds like last train home. really soothing
Holy crap. that was sweet. somebody did nerdy stuff on a bass about nerdy stuff! finally!!!
Beautiful. Gave me goosebumps.
Love the use of the ebow for the haunting string line. Nice touch!
Stunning. Pure music. Bravo.
Steve Bailey needs to hear this and be proud of the youngsters and their compositions!
Wow the Ebow on fretless on the high registers sounds like a flute! Super cool
One of my favorite songs ever from one of my favorite movies ever. At :35 there is a part that makes it sound like a wood flute. Sounds really cool.
You never, ever dissapoint. Again I start my workday with a smile thanks to you...
I say this every time is see this bass guitar, it is the best sounding and looking bass i have heard and seen!
I know this might sound bizarre, but this rendition makes my heart both happy and ache at the same time. I want a longer version so badly
You're really pushing the limits of what is considered possible on bass, while developing a growing talent for composition and arrangement from video to video. Just keep doing what you do, it's only getting better and better since I started watching your videos.
Can hardly believe that was just one instrument... Well done, beautiful, thank you for sharing!
Love this rendition of a great tune
Those harmonics are absolutely filthy-smooth.
Absolutely freaking beautiful.
This has such Mark Knophler vibe a'la Princess Bride. 👑 thanks for making this magic...
Left me with a tear
I've heard a lot of beautiful bass music in my life but you play some of the most beautiful bass I have ever heard.
That metal fretboard in his hands is amazing
This man is a true legendary player
That is the chef's kiss of covers
Big Last Train Home vibes from this. Gotta love it
Asome slide sound, frettless are amazing.
Reminds me of Last Train Home by the Pat Meheny Group. Loved it!
Best bass player on the planet. Awesome job!
Your intonation is incredible!
I’m laying on my bed crying 😫 So beautiful
This is unbelievably awesome. Wow.
It's always a pleasure to hear/watch you play the Bass guitar. 👍
It kind of sounds like a steel drum, what a beautiful instrument and beautiful playing!
