- I tuned my bass to drop G# because that's as low as it can go without sounding horrible 🤣 Remember to TAP like and subscribe if you enjoyed this!

this man can literally write bangers in every genre
He's vastly overqualified but needs to cover at least ONE Grateful Dead song 🧐
And he does this every week
not sure about the more simplistic genres, like punk, grunge or sludge metal to name a few
this man is too advanced for simplicity
Sausages?
At this point I'm not convinced he's a man, likely a government conspiracy to splice human DNA with bass. It's the only plausible explanation
I am 100% interested in an entire album of nothing but Charles doing crazy prog-metal solo bass stuff. Every time I come back and watch Charles he's outdone himself again!
I would want to see two things on the album: an actual drummer, and interlude tracks between songs that are just the music teacher character.
Yes please.
@@jamcam9 oh hell yea
An he's such a natural, down to earth person, and have a great sense of humor
listen to even brewers “Alone”
I admire how your channel keeps being about music and not steering towards memes and laughs, and still is entertaining as hell.
that'a why I left Davie (who brought me here) long time ago !
@@stevensonjr no lie, but i seriously think charles is better than davie . the guy is massively flexible
@@stevensonjr unfortunately me too... davie got a bit too carried away
I don’t mind Davie himself or his videos for that matter (he’s definitely a great bassist too), but his fanbase is a bit annoying imo
Well, he did have a meme phase, mainly when collaborating with Davie504, but yeah I'm glad Charles found his own style.
Charles is the only person who could challenge the devil to a Bass Off and win
johnny???
The Devil Went Down to Berthoud
The problem is the devil plays guitar and just thinks that means he can play bass...
I mean the devil's a fiddle player, so I can understand why he'd lose in a face off.
I saw Les Claypool do this, it was a documentary.
Combining Heavy DJENT riffs and masterful tapping notes, now That's what I call a *MASTERPIECE!*
The Omnific
@@reneebear3641 That name works... I just want Charles to make more of this, and that theme works
@@tehllama42
No look it up
@@tehllama42 it’s a band of three bassists that play basically what you described
If Meshuggah and Ayreon met...
After that initial riff, I want to see a collab between you and Tosin Abasi.
That would be fun!!
Or at least a "When Animals As Leaders Only Gives You 1 Minute to Audition" video. Would be stoked to see a collab.
He is the missing bass player of AAL
Thank you guys for introducing me to AAL!
I didn’t even know 🤷🏻♂️
@@micahgreer7748 It's a great feeling, finding something new and excellent. Like our boy Charles here, or AAL. Plini, Mestis, Arch Echo, and Wide Eyes are easy recommendations if you want to explore more instrumental metal.
Proggy, djenty, and actually metal as hell. This is absolutely fantastic. That little solo section towards the end is *chef's kiss*
this man can play in the style of ichika, polyphia and animals as leaders effortlessly, while always being himself at the same time
Finally an answer to the question: but can he djent?
You write amazing metal. I bet alot of us fans are metalheads at heart so please do more!
That first riff is such a monster, i love that kind of stuff
There’s not enough bass driven metal bands, we need more
Classical music at it's finest
Sounds as prog and chunky as Animals as Leaders.
Perfect combo, great work here👌
That could 100% be an animals as leaders riff
That was my comment almost exactly!
💯
Great minds think alike. He could slap his way into that lineup
Great minds think alike. He could slap his way into that lineup
Love it man
I’m a jazz musician but a metal head at Heart so this spoke to me. 🤘🏽
That single string riff in the middle had a very epic Dream Theater vibe. Well done! 🤘🏻
the genre that can stop this man's inspiration is yet to be created
midwest emo can kill anyones musical will
@@clouds7705yeah, I'm a general lover of emo and midwest emo just has no fun to it
What the actual hell is "midwest emo" ?
@@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power awful music is what it is
@@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power literal trash
Love the old classical character playing this one. 🤣
It felt like it needed his crazy vibes 🤣
that low tuned metal slapping to melodic tapping transition was awesome
Bro...I don't even know what to say. The things you write and play are just unparalleled levels of cool and astonishing. Keep it up, Charles. We need this more than you know.
that needs to be a full song. shit slaps hard
I love this channel. The pure variety found in the music makes it so that I can't get bored of the content. Awesome one, once more!
Your profile picture tells me you have a fine taste in music.
I'm also here to voice my appreciation for Haken
I'm so happy you are fleshing the tracks out with full instrumentation these days. Epic track that any band would be lucky to have written.
This guy reminding me of First Fragments bassist. Being that good, and doing what you do across all these genres and styles is mindblowing every time.
This is probably on the top 3 djentiest riffs I've heard in my life. You'd usually expect a guitarist to write djent riffs, but Charles is once again proving bassists aren't the slacks guitarists think they are. Charles never ceases to amaze me.
I think I've figured out why your music sounds so much more complicated than everything else... It's not only your flawless play style in these tracks you make, but it's the Japanese style chrord progressions that you incorporate into everything you write. Anime-esque. Good stuff.
Sikth were the first modern recognizable band to use this low tuning (on some songs) and the low G# tuning in E flat (D#) standard can be referred to as the Sikth tuning. The birth of the modern (more prog based) djent sound (Not referring to the first wave with Meshuggah.) Kind of sounds like them.
Used to hate metal but it’s slowly become my favourite genre over the heard
It isn’t just that you make doing this stuff look easy - you do, of course, somehow - it’s that you look like you’re having more fun doing it than should be legal anywhere on this planet. While you perform.
Bringing the flawless technique is one thing. Inspired composition is yet another. But presenting it with a sly twinkle in your eye makes it special.
For me, anyway.
This is absolutely insane I wasn't expecting the madness right from the get go 😂. I love it when you play metal!
the playing is outstanding, the note choices are stellar.
omg we need many albums of this
bro i know clearly this is hard to play but now writing something like this is something completely beyond comprehension. Thank you for giving me such mind-blowing experiences Charles! It really inspires me to keep learning more about the bass.
Good lord.. That was absolutely incredible. Some of my favorite work of yours. Great piece, let alone a random video!
Damn! He's the whole Liquid Tension band by himself!
cant believe bethoven plays djent
He definitely would if he were still around 🤣
Wow this is seriously amazing I'm so glad you are getting the subscribers, and recognition you deserve. Best bass player in the world in my opinion. Keep up the good work!!!
The solo bass intro is lowkey awesome (IMO the best part)
Gave me kind of Animals as Leaders kinda vibe. Great piece of work by the way! Nice transitions)
Drop G# is such a good tuning. The contortionist and hath are probably my favorite bands that write some songs in that tuning
G# is an amazing tuning, but once you go lower than G, there's no going back...
What a DJENT banger ! Keep goin' whith those
That tapping section always makes me goosebooms
Everyone’s like he can make a banger in any genre. I see it as a complete understanding of music theory.
JFC, very professional metal writing, so mature and EFFING HEAVY BRAH - nice work, really really nice job Charles
You could say this is classical musics "Djent" into madness
We did not deserve that beautiful melodic tapping part that somehow fit the HEAVY theme! I guess I'll keep waiting for you to finally outdo yourself. Might take a looooong time
I demand a whole album of this. PLEASE
Splendid.
You really inspire me to work on my guitar playing! You're like the embodiment of technique not being in the way of feeling! What a bass hero!
Imagine how awesome Symphony X:s Sea of Lies would sound with bass like this. Especially the guitar solo... mind blowing stuff
Legend has it that a black hole would have been created if Charles included a breakdown in this tune.
that interlude was why I'm subbed here.
That was absolutely gorgeous man! I love it!
I’m not a metal fan at all but I’ll listen to anything Charles puts out
Somewhere Tosin Abasi is nodding and smiling.
The little finger sticking out on a coffee mug was just the very start of great things that followed ;-)
Wow!! Incredible, how does Charles manage to create an original banger every time. Like how is he so good in many rhythmic and stylistic varieties. His harmonics are insane, his talent is that of a virtuoso. If I were to choose top 100 best bassist of all time I’d choose Charles to be up in that list. Good day to you sir!
From really HARD to melodic and back. Awesome!
Just couldn't resist the urge to do all "do-dilly-do" in the middle there could ya?
Incredible! Absolutely off the hook!! Thanks for another great video Charles. I think you're one of the biggest reasons I even watch UA-cam. I hope to see you here on the West Coast in the US next time you come
you were born in bass in your hands, greetings from Poland
you seriously gotta create an album containing every genre you can think of, it would be legendary!
Ludwig has never been before so close to pure nature of "classic" music. GJ!
Now Animal as Leaders can finally have a bass player.
This was fooooking tasty! Def would love to hear this style in a full song!
More juxtaposed metal music with classical aesthetic please.
Also, what an absolute banger!
When you are asked to write a CharlesBerthoud youtube title about the sky:
"Looking at the SKY makes you see lots of BLUE."
When Doomslayer accidentally remember his rabbit in the middel of rip'n'tear until it's done.
Outstanding playing!
That riff is actually sick af
This sounds like a Vitalism track, which is incredible - you're so damn versatile!
The first few seconds sound like an Animals as Leaders riff, then Mozart comes in, then Knights of Cynodia, back to Animals as Leaders, plus a bit of Polyphia... À track to make Shazam become mad!
So much amazingness in oly two minutes
you know when he's got a costume on right away: we're about to witness something extraordinary
Your bass is beyond beautiful. And so is your playing 🎉
Thanks!
im here for that magnificent hair e
I wish I had only 10% of your talent 😅 Nice job !!!!
put in 10% of the work then
Sounded like it came off a liquid tension experiment album. But you are the entire band. Well done
sure as shit has those dream theater vibes to it, but far more djent/metalcore ish on the dirt lol
You're on the next level, Charles. Your own league.
멋진 연주, 최고입니다~^^
you might just be the best bass player on UA-cam today. Definitely my number 1.
I feel lucky to see your channel, so fantastic in how you play bass.
Holy crap. I need an album of this.
NOW you're talking....er, rocking.
00:23 Confirmed medieval metal stare down. 🤟
Strong "my music teacher says he's in a band, I bet they play jazz" vibes
just IMAGINE what a primus song would sound like w this
my name is mud would fit so well
I’m curious to see what the behind-the-scenes look like. Watching you write, play, and record these amazing pieces would be really cool 🤘
@Charles_berthoud3249 👈🤡
That track was dingo! Hope you had as much fun to do this as we have to hear it =)
Incredible composition and playing!
I need an album of this Charles! Please.
Please release this as a full song🙏
This just got better and better and better and better and better!
i love the classical old man playing metal
Un...fucking..believable. I would absolutely see this band live.
Glad you're doing costumes and jokes again. Always thought you were hilarious.
Possibly the best bassist ever!
That was amazing. Keep exploring the heavy stuff!
The wig and intro with the tea into immediate head banging got a big laugh out of me. Amazing as usual!
ok this video confirms that we NEED more metal Charles
Would really like to hear more stuff like this, some seriously excellent playing
So freaking good. Keep it coming Charles!
I love your playing because it is exactly what I is going on in my bass head.
