This guy's playing my signature bass so you know he knows what he's talking about 🔥
He must be a real pro if he already has the Charles Berthoud signature bass 😂
So stoked for you, my dude. It's been really amazing to watch you come into your own over the years and blossom from a shy "fiver pro" to a unique voice in the world of bass guitar. Your passion is infectious, your technique is amazing, and your lessons are dope. Congrats on the sig model, you've earned it!
Will there be a fretless version?
😊
I bet he’d be great for a collab video sometime
these exercises show how thoughtful you are in composing teaching material. The rhythm looks so much easier than it is to play. The first 3 beats of the first exercise the slaps go from the "and a" of beat 1, to the "and" of beat 2, then to the "a" of beat 3. I've been playing Flea slap lines for 10+ years thinking I'm a master when I'm really just a beginner.... keep them coming Charles, ahem, I mean BassCamp!
Thank you so much Charles for your awesome lessons and it really helps us to learn musically,am pretty much sure everyone is learning so much from you through this channel and am learning too and no doubt you are the new era of bass world..
Big fan 🤘🏻
Regards
I officially feel better about my technique. I've never been super serious about my playing, but I've always kept my movements efficient and I've been implementing the OHSP technique as you call it for years.
This is very helpful, always wanted to be a slap enthusiast
Thanks for the lesson Charles! 🎸
Thanks my good sir for making Charles the beast he is
I'm going to check your patreon man, u are so good to teaching and show so many exercise , thanks dude
im glad you created this channel. thanks charles
You're great as usual, thanks Dear Charles... congrats on getting your signature bass🎉🎉🎉
Thank you, Charles. Shout out from Brasil.
Amazing lesson Charles! Also, have you considered doing a contest giveaway for your signature bass? Your previous contests were a tremendous amount of fun and I’m sure many fans including myself would love to participate in another one.
Nice! This is exactly the kind of stuff i've wanted to improve on.
As a lifelong bassist and Victor Wooten fan, I'm super stoked to have Charles Berthoud burst into my life. My only issue is that I have to wait 2 more weeks to recover from a sprained wrist -- can't wait to try out some of these techniques.
I have to say your new bass has an incredible sound...that I prefer over the others....nice👍
That is a bad ass bass ! And the sound is amazing
i donated my electric bass to a school many years ago as I was focusing on upright bass, but watching this makes me want to work on electric bass again .... even though I'm mostly playing folk / classical these days, have to say a bit of slap looks like so much fun ... wish I had something like this when was self learning bass in the 90s :)
I wish I had this back then too. But it's not too late. I'm only 97. There's still a couple months to git good.
Good lesson 😊
Thank you, Sir ❤❤❤❤
thanks for helping us to improve, chilean fan here
Incredible video, very good...
Nice exercise keep lesson up
Really nice one. Exactly on time, as I started to look for a new routine for my post-beginner phase of learning.
One tiny suggestion for the production: the background music, in the sections where you talk, quickly creates an annoying white noise effect. This content is good on its own; you don't need to sprinkle it with unnecessary bits.
Thank you so much charles! I`ve been improving a lot thanks to you! This videos are great but if i had to give you a constructive criticism is that if you don`t learn the tabs in memory it`s hard to follow due to the fast change, but other than that they are great ❤
in the TAB in the 6th bar that C is a D (A string 3rd fret -> 5th fret)
Charles you’re the GOAT. What strings are you using here? I want that sound
For the algorithm
That was a lot of fun practicing
My daughter been playing for 9 months and she's doing awesome! Now she wants to learn how to slap. Any beginner slap video?
That 3rd one belongs in a Toejam and Earl game
Any advice for the second exercise with the left hand slaps? Playing with an anchored index finger always has me ringing out a note rather than just the muted percussive slap sound we are aiming for. Comes out more like a slap hammer on
how can i double pop the strings faster...my fingers alway get stuck on the strings and i cant double pop very quickly
I'll do a video on that soon!
Nice tutorial Charles! How are you muting E and A strings when playing on D and G? These strings usually start to ring by itself and the sound is muffled. Thanks

could you do a tutorial on lerning the fretboard? thanks for all you do for the baas community charles
Hello Charles Berthoud, I would like to know how fast you play it at the beginning 100-110-120 bpm ? That way I'll be able to have a target lol, I imagine the others are at the same speed ?
Are these exercises available in paper copy?
Amazing Lessons Charles.. I’m wondering if there are many many more students of the bass guitar that would access this channel if your name was included in your channel name 🤔🤔🤔 I’m willing to bet that many (even fans of yours) pass over this channel unaware that it’s yours. (I could be wrong 😉) But thank you.. thank you.. thank you! (from The Big Island.. Kailua-Kona, Hawaii 🌴)
Hey. What does P T and L mean?
Tab link please
LETS LEARN
Привет! Что обозначают буквы в табулатуре?
Hehe a fun one
"a variety of tempos" aka slap novices like me starting at 20bpm 😂
What the best tone for slap?
Yes.
Is there a 5 string in the works🤔🙏
Haha reminds me of the alexis sklarevski tape I had back in the day
Sounds simmilar to Pow by Larry Graham
As a beginner in slap I don't know what hurts more... slapping or popping? I think the latter
I'm a Charles Berthoud Patreon but I think I should be a BassCamp Patreon instead
dude what does p l t stand for? i only been playing 12 weeks!!!!!!!!
Second
👏🏻🥈
Wish I had the money to buy that bass😢
у меня через полгода ЕГЭ, а я решился научиться играть на бас гитаре
That bass should have stainless steel frets to endure your abusive fretboard wankery.
I'm afraid that there is something wrong with me but...
I think the slower versions sound better.
“OHSP” is also known as the “machine gun” for those of you who had seen that technique elsewhere
I slapped too hard my fingers are covered in blisters
first comment
👏🏻🥇
what is t mean
Me: day1 20bpm
I appreciate the lesson but you’re going g WAAAAAYYYY to fast for me, I had to slow the video down 😂 Great Job
damn, i cant even slap XD
Slowed down?!
Accidentally came here after watching another video on 2x speed. The universe wanted SPEED.
"a technique I made up" ok buddy.
First one was fun but the other two aren't as cool to play
"Hey guys, here's a random exercise that has no real rhyme or reason - it's just a lick. Practice it, and get faster!" - This is so stupid.
looks hard but isn't actualy
That's what my wife says.
Your "slow tempo" is wayyyyyy to fast for beginners that try to do this. Also: i have watched a truckload of slap bass lesson videos on UA-cam from various teachers, but i have this persistent feeling that all of you do not teach the inside details of what kind of routine or trick you need to get a grip on to really get better or good at playing slap bass. It's all just bits and pieces. It's like someone teaches you how to drive a car but only talks about the steering wheel and the break pedal. While there is a whole package that you asked for, but you don't get. It's so frustrating and dissapointing to me.
Here's your fix: Scott's bass lessons on UA-cam. An incredible wealth of knowledge to be gained from there. TLDR: one proper technique is... turn the hand like your turning a doorknob, is how Scott explains it. Among other things, but that's an important detail no one else shares.
It's really not that deep. Just practice the slap by literally rotating your thumb into the E or A string at the neck and pop the D or G string by rotating the index finger out. Make sure you are parallel to strings. That's all there is, and that's the basics of the technique. Anything else is just adding flare with hours of practice.
The Bass Wizard has a great slap course. From zero to hero. Well worth a look, his technique is hella clean
@@tbarganier8823 Scott does the same thing: bits and pieces. Also quite a lot of jokes and non-bass-related nonsense which distract from something you try to comprehend. I'm not a fan.
@@Cybrtronlazr done quite a lot of that, but i can't seem to get left and right hand working together and get a decent 16th notes rhythm going.
Do you have a video on your tab nomenclature? I have no clue what the 'P' 'T' or 'L' mean in the tabs and it seems like there's a lot of different styles of bass tabs out there
I think ‘T’ is thumb so you’d slap with the thumb
‘P’ pluck with your finger
And I’m taking a hard guess ‘L’ is for left hand when you’re using your fretboard hand to slap the bass rather then your plucking hand
