I would love to hear a composition that combines your abilities on both instruments. To see how you approach the layering and interplay of the two
Great idea!
with piano, too
I think that's what this is...
he's playing bass in this one dawg
I second this
You should do more guitar once in awhile! It sounds really good!
Thanks!
Definitely!
You are the enemy of all righteousness for suggesting such a thing. :P
True
Agreed, not all the time but sometimes would be cool
You are literally a world class musician.
i taught him everything he knows.
j/king
Unironically one of the best musicians alive.
A true virtuoso of our generation
agreed
But it does make me wonder how many unknown amazing talents are somewhere in the shadows because they don't care to have a youtube channel.
I agree
@@12centuriesTHIS!
at this point, I feel weird to see him playing guitar. But whatever he makes, he never disappoint. It feels like some licks could be a bonus song for Polyphia's Renaissance Album
Well bass guitar and guitars are both guitars. The only real difference is the scale of the neck and the frequencies of the pictures played. Doesn't surprise me at all although as a bass player even though I know all the notes on a guitar I'm not a good guitar player my hands are huge and it feels tiny so I am impressed that he can jump from one scale length to the other and maintain all of his facility. The factory originally started out being trained as classical piano he views music from the total arrangement point of view and not just gee what's my instrument supposed to play? Definitely has his own writing style that is for sure great musician great player what a monster
Yes! I was thinking that same thing!
First thing I thought was he was copying polyphia
@@iloveska1 They all are now and it's a little tiring but damn can't knock the ability and creativity that's out there these days...sadly the age of riffs is dead and gone, its all lead merged into melodic licks, has me bamboozled!
@@adamdam so keep playing riff stuff. Is stained rock and roll for decades. Nothing wrong with continuing to write an arrange in that style.
Crazy how even on guitar you've got such a unique vibe. This totally feels like a Charles Berthoud song.
Agreed! Charles does seem to have his own style of sound the more I listen to him. It's really unique and I like how most of his originals contain pretty complicated sections while overall not sounding like it's too much or too overdone. It's really continuous and smooth. He's got really good balance with his sounds.
Sounds like Jon Stockman
@@aldente9310 Charles is who he was referring to.
Please please do a multi-instrument blues song. Guitar, Bass, Drums and Piano/Keyboard. Then run a comp on who can add the best lyrics and vocals!
@@paulbaker7500 noob
What impresses me most is, that your guitar playing is so different stylistically from your bass playing. Really giving me Polyphia vibes, keep it up!
He mastered 6 strings on bass, so Charles started with SEVEN on guitar. What a legend.
he didn't use the low string though, so he's not djenty enough
Es por qué usa lo mismo que en el bajo usa la escalas del bajo en la guitarra
@@_lun4r_ For the djent he has his 5-6 string basses
You are not a bassist or a guitarist or whatever ... You are a musician. Awesome solo !
BUUUT...WHAT ABOUT OUR BELOVED LABELS? D:
Yes he is. He's all of the above.
This is SO true. Title of the video doesn't do justice to his own talent. To be clear, people can't just play guitar like this because they are good on base!
Only the read the first part at first and had a stroke.
@@Online_Lawyer_UK I am a guitarist and i can't play like that.
Charles, I don’t know how it’s possible, but you not only have your own voice on bass, but on guitar as well. The sound is familiar but uniquely yours and to the guitar. Bravo maestro
A more subtle Prince sound?
We are down a Prince Charles...
A lot of the solo, especially the beginning had similar playing style and sound in my opinion to a base solo, but in a good way. Would agree, very unique to Charles
I hear Santana in it.
Guitar is guitar. The whole bass thing is something that.. Nvm...
Lead guitarists are often natural bass guitarists. It's true.
The musical role is generally different but the play style is damn near identical.
Heck, I've been playing guitar for almost 30 years now (with a classical foundation), and I'm not even nearly half as good as the way he plays. Charles is truly something else. His musicality is on an entirely different level. He could easily play and make beautiful music with pretty much any musical instrument.
This might sound silly but I was NOT expecting you to be this good on the guitar also. Amazing stuff man you're a legend.
when your a theory nerd like Charles is, you can apply that to pretty much any instrument with just a bit of practice required. the only label you can give to him and have it be accurate is "musician". he's not a bassist, or a guitarist, or pianist. he's a whatever i want to play today-ist.
@@jmc2830 Playing fretted instruments translates pretty easily. I learned to play bass and dulcimer much more quickly than guitar (1st instrument) because I already knew so much.
I am speechless. You don't sound like a bassist playing guitar, you sound like a *GREAT* guitar player. Your writing skills are so damn impressive, I'd love to see you surrounded by other talented musicians, in the context of a band, not only writing for guitar or bass but with a real balance between all instruments !
Yes! It's getting annoying with the sterile midi backing. It kinda feels like practice, would love to hear this guy on stage.
This isn‘t just shredding. Beautiful lines combined with great technic and timing. You are such an inspiration!
probably one of the most unique solos I've heard in a while. coming from a 30 year guitar player. You obviously have played for along time on guitar and well as bass.
I’m honestly not surprised at the fact you did so well, but I’m completely blown away at the song itself. This is very evidently your own style, but with such a different sound (which really tickles me as an amateur guitarist). Amazing, man, amazing!
The phrasing, the sense of rhythm, the TONE... incredible. I've been playing for 17 years, and it hasn't been often that I've heard something I vibe to as much as this. I'd legit listen to a full album of material like this if you made it. Fantastic work!
Seriously!
I completely agree.
Dude, it's so rare to hear that much soul in a solo these days. And mix that skill in with it!!! 💥 This is absolutely incredible. Just amazing man. Keep it up. Make a record for us 🙏 🙏 🙏.
He has albums on Spotify.
@@rbarbetta1978 I obviously had no idea. Thank you
@@TakeAHikeMike You're welcome! I just happened to look the other day while I had Spotify open. Enjoy!
1:10 melted my face
That sounded like more enjoyable Polyphia to my ears. That could have easily been a part of a longer jam session that you would hear at G3, also. Great stuff. I would really like to see a collab with Charles, Ichika, and Polyphia.
I suspect Charles will become one of our generation's legends. He has genuine talent, he can make music that people like to listen to, and he has a stage presence that only a handful of people have.
Man, I'd love to see him in a band. But he needs people that match his talent.
Good luck to him finding that. Would have to be instrumental only since Chris Cornell passed.
He already is a legend pal.
If rjd wasn't dead I could imagine his voice going perfectly with this
Thats why your generation will be fucked up. You think that this is talent ? WRONG ! This is TONS and TONS of hours of WORK ! Practice and practice again ! That's the only way to become good at something !
That's seriously one of the best guitar solos I've heard in a while. Please play more guitar man!!
Keep
Up
Doing
Overwhelming
Stuff!
You never cease to amaze us all with your talent, passion and dedication to your craft, Charles. Thank you for being SO inspiring, day after day!
This guy is from another world, what a talent.
Genuinely quite impressive! Even guitar players should be impressed! Ive been playing for a few years and cant get close to that.
Just keep practising and pushing yourself! And be patient 👌🏻
@@Vladimirvulkan lad’s wife might not appreciate that 😅
It turns out that 30k hours in bass gives you a head start for playing other forms of guitar.(he does play bass guitar afterall)
This song makes me miss my Cadillac. That's road music.
@@riparianlife97701 I can imagine it as a track in Outrun.
As much as I love your bass playing, we really do need more guitar videos, keep them coming!
That was crazy, great melodic solo, great tone, sound and phrasing.
We need more tapping guitar masterpieces from you now that you have given us a taste. Amazing as usual, sir Charles!
This is the best 6 strings pícolo bass solo I’ve seen here in a while!
7 string actually. 😉
I saw 7 as well. But nonetheless it was still good. Although I enjoy the Bass playing more.
Insane!... You have this style that's so unique but I can also hear lots of Tim Henson influence in it
Also reminds me a lot of Plini but in a more standard time signature
YO THATS AWESOME I LOVE THIS, you shock the hell out of me again good sir keep up the awesome playing!
I had to give this another listen. This is a special piece, Charles Berthoud! 🙌🙌🙌
I've rewatched this 4 times now, noticing something new everytime. I already regarded you as the best bassist on the planet playing right now, and then you go and drop a guitar video that's up there with the very best. I'm starting to question if you're human or not. Thank you for putting this out there. Incredible.
He's definitely from another world. I just haven't figured out which one yet. I'll keep you posted. 😂
I'll never talk shit about bass players again! I'm a guitarist and you are giving bassists a good name here! Thank you. It's so much more about melody than just playing and technique. You're not only a bassist, guitarist and pianist you're a consummate crafter of melodic structures and a true musician.
Nailed it!!! 🎉
Why did you talk shit about bassist before is my question🤦🏽♂️
Amazing!!! I'm going in the other room and throwing all my guitars away!! Love all your bass videos and this is another stellar performance! Thank you for sharing your gifts!!!
Brutaaal! Amazing video again! 🤘
Your playing style has a signature sound, and hearing it from a guitar is like hearing a friend's family member speak. Familiar and seperate. Really enjoyed this.
I'm not shocked, because you have what lies beyond skill : true musical inspiration. You can *think* with music, and that transcends what instrument you're playing at the time.
This is so tight and the octave stuff rose goosepimples from the depths!
Why would anyone expect anything less from Charles? Fantastic!!
You re also amazing on the guitar, great job Charles 💯
Thank you!
are you the one who played the davies hardest impossible bassline perfectly?
@@ozandorukcan4324 yes i am! 🙌
@@riddickbass989
Perfectly? You sure about that?
@@ozandorukcan4324 Well, not perfectly. The waveforms didn’t quite align 😮😮
Pretty effin good bro. Great alternate picking for a damn bass player too.
Thanks! The picking is definitely the steepest learning curve for bassists who are used to fingestyle, slap etc.
OHHH MYYY FGODDDD, PLEASE DO MORE OF THISSSSSSS. YOU ARE SUCH A MASTER
Wow so beautiful!!
I love how awkward you hold it, and precise you play haha
Dang, guitar and bass are equally impressive and valuable to me. You rock as always man!
I wasn't expecting this! The skill set between guitarist and basses does overlap, however, I'm still shocked at how good this was.
Would love to hear more. Bring that loop pedal out and let's see what you can make out of both!!
I was not at all prepared for how good you are on a guitar.
AMAZING!! Viva Charles Berthoud!
Incredible song. I've listened to it at least 10 times now and I'm pretty sure it would take several hundred times before I'd get even remotely tired of it.
Unbelievable! I love your phrasing and melodies. Great job Charles.
You should do more alternating videos between bass, guitar, piano and any other instrument you know how to play! No matter what u are a beast!
Wow - you are nothing short of a master of the strings - thanks for your enthusiasm , musically and otherwise !!!
I remember you showing comments of people like « he’s a failed guitarist » or whatever.
Bro, you are killing the game. This is insane how people can become such incredible musicians on multiple instruments, and still keep their style.
Bravo!
The phrasing is unparalleled.
Fantastic job as always, Charles!
You never cease to impress & amaze me! Bravo!
Damn, that solo was beautiful. Charles is on another level.
Absolutely LOVE the phrasing of your soloing. Great feel. Makes sense for how good you are at bass.
What a truly wonderful arrangement !!
As a guitarist myself, if I could play Bass with 1/10th of the skill you - as the Uber Bassist you are - just demonstrated on Guitar here, I'd be a very happy chappy. You're fluidity over the fretboard is so damn effortless.
I want you to know that when you started playing the solo-esk portion, I bust out laughing at how stupidly, ridiculously, unbelievably amazing it was. This was good. Very good.
you are a truly spectacular musician. i look forward to the next video
Epic playing. I’d love to see more guitar from you or even complex intertwining melodies on bass and guitar together! Your talent never ceases to amaze me
Another great work!Thanks for brilliant videos 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
What an amazing solo, truly exceptional musician!
👆⬆️⬆️
Hey got prize for you
You've won a (package ) 🎸🎸🎁🎁
.
Unbelievable!!!!!! You NEVER cease to amaze me Charles!!!!
Dude, is amazing how you keep your tone and style of playing. Really amazing!
Dude, this is some of the most genuinely enjoyable guitar playing I’ve seen in a good long while, kudos! 👏
Awesome!!! I know quite a few bassists that started out as guitarists and only switched over to bass when the bassist quit suddenly and couldn't be replaced on short notice and liked playing the bass so much that they quit playing guitar.
Nice. I have two of the Schecter KM7 models. Awesome guitars.
I love the way you are processing the signal! That’s an epic sound.
Charles I truly regard you as being in the highest caliber of musicians that have walked the earth at any time. Your musicality is phenomenal. How about your composing on an orchestral scale? You have it in you there’s no doubt. Please get there and let us your fan base know how we can help. Best wishes brother I hope to see you in concert one day.
I absolutely love electric guitar solos and this one gave me goosebumps I enjoyed it so much!
Damn dude. That was amazing. Honestly better than most dedicated guitar channels no joke
Is that a 7 string piccolo bass? Love it! Amazing arrangement and tone! I'd love to see a video of how you balance the practice time between the different instruments you play.
😄😄
Sopranino 7 string bass
Complete with 80s style solo with bends and style, but with your style too! AMAZING!
Such a fantastic job! If I could critique one thing, it would be that the distortion is a little harsh, but with some fine tuning I know you will easily clean it up with no issue. Again, fantastic job!
Hats off Charles, you always seem to amaze me! It never gets old, thanks for sharing with us. John
Your an amazing musician. Keep doing what you do, we all love listening to everything you play.
Ripping, bro. Love it. Thanks for the post.
Beautiful! Lovely solo.
I love the way you play man, and the tone for the guitar is amazing!
Bass guitar IS guitar! 😅
So nice!!! Amazing playing! ❤
Not surprising. Long time shredder here. I dont even own a bass, but i have been subscribed, god knows for how long, simply because of the amazing neck warping content! 🤘
Well, that was unexpected. Holy moly. I feel privileged to hear hot musical takes from Charles' musical mind. Love it.
Incredible! Would love a video on how you compose and make arrangements
Very impressive and very musical, love it :)
It sounds like Intervals, great band. Amazing playing Charles!
Beautiful sound and awesome playing
I'm just not sure when you would have had another 10,000 hours lying around to pick up the guitar like that! Amazing Charles that you could have kept that a secret
I already know this is gonna be bloody great!
Edit: Wasn’t wrong :)))
Ok, now you’re just showing off!
And I love it!!!!
Charles never stop doing amazing performances and this guitar one really blew my mind as he is absolutely one of the best bass players ever, with a domain over all technics (splendit played, tasty, elegant, clean). Ok Charles, waiting for your piano performace! good challenge! thanks for your music
This is fantastic! You inspire me to work harder on bass! (And guitar)
I love that you went straight for the 7 string! Gorgeous guitar and a beautiful piece of music as well!
Anyone know what kind of guitar it is?
@@pyroblue : It looks to me like a Schecter.
@@pyroblue It's a Schecter Keith Merrow MKIII
As always your playing was amazing !!!
I never knew you were outstanding at guitar. You sound amazingly good! 🎉🙂
YES!!! Beautiful. Here's a bass video idea: Do a song featuring pick playing with some nice long runs to feature those alternate picking skills!
Amazing, Charles. I'm happy to see your success.
You never cease to amaze me with your compositions and wonderful tone. Oh yeah, and the ungodly talent….
Man I love this. I've come back 5 times to listen again! ❤️
We need more of these. I love bass, but that solo was amazing. We need a guitar battle with Doo.
Mate, not fair! Leave some for the rest of us!
No seriously, that was amazing. You're crazy talented and dedicated. Hats off to you sir! :)
