That fretless metallic bass sounds otherworldly. Honestly so incredibly impressive, that must be so hard to play but you make it look effortless. I’ve recently finished my music degree and I take so much inspiration seeing how much further I can take the skills I’ve learnt. Never stop inspiring the next generation Charles. You’re amazing
I figured it out. You are Mozart reborn. There is no explanation other than you have powers outside of anything most people are born with. Your compositional mind is level infinity. It's not just your ridiculously insane playing (on every instrument) but your ability to compose and piece together the most fantastic music I have ever lived to experience, that is most profound. Thank you for being alive while I am. You are setting musical precedence and history with your brilliance. Absolutely amazing, Charles. My goodness.
Dude , lol , those harmonics and the blending back and forth and having to drop the key back and forth. Its stuff no one ever does. It does not surprise me that you can do it. What does surprise me is just how effortless you compose this stuff all together and its like perfect synchronicity. Absolutely just astonishing.
Been watching him publish his very first video after the Davie504 Fiverr video. It would seem a single goofy memy video wouldn't be able to headstart such an online career just by chance
Wow. I'm not a musician, just a lover of such artistry. A video and performance like this inspires me. You are a special artist. I appreciate your expression. Amazing.
Bro congrats that was gnarly as hell. Long time fan of SOAD and hearing it all compiled into one piece is something Serj Tankian would love too. Keep it up man you’re incredible
It's just mind blowing to me how much talent you've spawned with your years of work and dedication. Thank you for sharing the fruits of your work with us
sometimes I wish to hear the song without words. I definitely like the original one, but that's another level: multiple instruments, all conceivable bass techniques, and as always perfect timing. done by 1 man. I'm speechless
This is beyond insanity at this point. Every line goes so damn well with the others. It makes so much sense musically. I just want it to go on for like 10mins 🎶🎶
Played this to my musical kids, one of whom is also that perfectionist type who needs to be perfect from the get go. Told him that most people playing bass in bands and professionally are nowhere near the level of Charles here. This is my favourite cover of this very popular song.
As a virtuoso who has been playing for over 40 years, you, sir, are the best bass player I have pretty much ever seen-and I went to GIT in the late '80s.
0:58 I had no idea you could do harmonics like this on a bass (guitar player, so I get it), and using the tuning lever like this is another cool next level trick.
worlds greatest bass player. Right here.... after watching this and playing bass since 1986 i realized one thing,... I NEED TO PRACTICE!!! Thanks alot Chuck.... lol
Charles … Charles …Charles …. THAT WAS AWESOME !!!!!! CROWN THIS MAN ALREADY!!!!! Sir King Charles Berthoud. Sir … you really are a great one and I am glad to be able and witness this incredible talent. Please continue to share.
Bass up And the switching tunings Were standouts. You’re really getting the drive mix dialed in. Enough dirt to be gritty but retaining articulation. Approved!
this song reminds me of bands that i listened to during the 90s like rage against the machine, sepultura, deftones, korn n such..hope u'll cover more bands like them ✌️❤️🇲🇾
Very nice! As a guitar player who has a Schecter guitar, i love this Schecter Bass :) And your bassplay is amazing too of course! Very smooth and nice skills! Hats down
What should I play next? 🤔👇🏻
Barnstorm - Turn to Stone ❗
Give it away
Try to play some EDM or Phonk song on bass.
Hey Ya!
Dire Straits - “Sultans of Swing”
I think you would elevate that to God tier (it already is, but yeah). 🤟
I loved the “7-string short scale piccolo bass.” 😂
One of the most true segments too 😜😂😂
You live in your world, he will live in his
SAME! 😂
First I was like "weird, that looks like a guitar". 🙄😅
@@konradlindblad7860Don’t say things like that !
Do you want to end up in somebody’s trunk ?
Loved that bit of 88 string keyed fretless bass at the end. The tone on the Shecter was great, too. Excellent stuff here.
220+ strings, 88 keys
2:40 This is not piano! This is 220-string multiscale acoustic hammerbass.

You are better than your degree! Dont hold yourself back to a piece of paper! Get some!!!
I haven’t been surprised and entertained like this on UA-cam for a long time.
Those harmonics are absolutely gorgeous! 🤟🔥
Thanks!
That is SOAD for you.
@@CharlesBerthoud hey that opening bit of Chop Strummy there sounded like Pinball WIzard by the Who, awesome.

Unless he's.................'ALIEN'!! 😂😂
@@kevinshiley9061 trust me, I’ve seriously contemplated that. 👽
While I agree that he's great, there are quite a few people equally as skilled, if not more so.
@@samueldaniels8415 bassists?
My five-year-old says this is the peak of "slappy jazz." That was just amazing. Big smile on my face.
Just noticed that the 6 string kinea just has one massive pickup. I love that energy

Look up "Passion Flower" by John Gomm. I don't think you'll be disappointed. 😎
...the synchronicity of our city, our ciiiiityyyyy 😄
It's* both times.

To see you and your channel grow from 80k subs to 1.65M and continually raise the bar with each video and song is simply astounding!

@@theseanglei was there the day before he decided to create this channel. It was cool.
@@kimmokoolwtf you were here ~10 years ago? Jk I know what you mean
@@theseangle nooo, don't tell me 10 years have passed since that day!?
I have no idea how you continue to blow my mind. Fantastic playing Charles, Thank you as always for sharing with us. Have an amazing day.
To be honest I am not a huge bass fan, but duuude. You just nailed it so hard, that's unbelievable at any sense. Wow, just wow, no words, bravo!
Wow. I'm not a musician, just a lover of such artistry. A video and performance like this inspires me. You are a special artist. I appreciate your expression. Amazing.
Beautiful. Love hearing your style coming through these interpretations on bass. Thanks for making this.
This honestly makes me love the original song even more, this was absolutely awesome dude
An absolutely explosive song made even more explosive! Awesome playing man!
Epic. The 0.3 second seamless switches to three different kinds of basses and a piano (whilst playing a bass) is mindblowing.
The sound of the fretless bass is so beautiful.
Charles so good he can change bass guitars several times during a song and NEVER miss a single note!! Well done, sir! 😂
Bro congrats that was gnarly as hell. Long time fan of SOAD and hearing it all compiled into one piece is something Serj Tankian would love too. Keep it up man you’re incredible
This is one of my favorite covers you've done. Phenomenal.
It's just mind blowing to me how much talent you've spawned with your years of work and dedication. Thank you for sharing the fruits of your work with us
That is instantly one of my favorite compositions you have ever done!
I would love to see a collaboration with you and The Doo!
When raw talent meet dedication. This one was something else. Thank you for blessing us with your craftmanship.
sometimes I wish to hear the song without words. I definitely like the original one, but that's another level: multiple instruments, all conceivable bass techniques, and as always perfect timing. done by 1 man. I'm speechless
Man the tone on this new bass is god tier.
Also, amazing arrangement; dare I say one of your best.
You make this look so easy, the random tuning changes are so smooth 🤌
wow, love the continuation from the “if SOAD gave you 60 seconds to audition” , sounds just as heavenly as it did then!!
Fantastic arrangement and playing. I voted for this and it was everything I hoped it would be!
Hey Charles Love your playing and vids! Creativity, playing, par-excellence! Thank you for sharing your gift with us all!
This is beyond insanity at this point. Every line goes so damn well with the others. It makes so much sense musically. I just want it to go on for like 10mins 🎶🎶
The tuning around to make the overtone harmonics change is just... wow ❤
How did I miss this one until now. Killed it. Even brought out the 230 string bass.
The slightly shakey cam is just so satisfying during these videos excellent cover my man loves it 🎉
This is the most beautiful thing I’ve heard in my entire life.
Also: imma gonna go sell my bass now.
Dude, i really rarely write comments but it's such a cool cover. You are powerful!💪🏻 Greetings from brave Ukraine. 🇺🇦
I'm going to need a full cover of this with just section 5, please.
Все как обычно у Чальза просто превосходно ! Лайк и восторг !
You are the El Estapario of bass guitar, wtf this is so impressive and makes bass look like a ton of fun
Really loved that Bass duet (#9). Beautiful harmonies and the tone of those two basses combined. Fantastic!
This reminds me of how I live my life, making everything as hard as possible. But unlike my day-to-day, you have made the complexity elegant.
Amazing talent, sir. In bass playing and video making. I've been a bass player 30+ years. I enjoy your videos.
Just incredible, you're virtuosic abilities never cease to amaze me. The tone on that fretless is to die for ❤
The only thing missing is Serj's voice. Bravo!
Hold up
Keep at it, Charles. With practice, some day you're going to be good enough to play with others!
that....that was absolutely awe inspiring.... my goosebumps have goosebumps.
Played this to my musical kids, one of whom is also that perfectionist type who needs to be perfect from the get go. Told him that most people playing bass in bands and professionally are nowhere near the level of Charles here. This is my favourite cover of this very popular song.
That gorgeous tone from that fretless I could listen to all day ,mad skills, props to you
Was the first upload an accident? 😅
A truly excellent cover Charles, as always 🤘
Davie504 would be proud lol
Davie ain’t good as him in terms of music, better at entertainment tho
@@NhatMeengP agree.
But Davie gifted a popularity to Charles, like PewDiePie did it to Davie earlier
Strumming and tapping into? Davie would slap. 🎉
@@hansdampf42 Step 3 and 10.
Davie was nothing.
I like the 88-keyed hybrid baritone/tenner/alto bass solo the best out of the two this time around!
really channeling some greats here. wooten, manring, bailey, etc
That was one of the best things my ears have ever heard... and I've heard things. Everyday I go around and hear things...
A hip shot detuner used correctly just to boot. Good work. Impressive lick
Thank you for kicking all our asses. That was awesome.
As a virtuoso who has been playing for over 40 years, you, sir, are the best bass player I have pretty much ever seen-and I went to GIT in the late '80s.
Outstanding! You just showed that this song, not only rocks the f--k out but, is also a truly beautiful, powerful, haunting melody. So, so good.
There is a saying that's close to my heart that goes "Sing until the song sings you." Well Done! Really enjoyed this.
Smashed it!
Tasty harmonics and layering for the full effect.
Charles,i would love a video where you walk us through what bass guitars you use/ setup you use.thank you for the great content.
0:58 I had no idea you could do harmonics like this on a bass (guitar player, so I get it), and using the tuning lever like this is another cool next level trick.
worlds greatest bass player. Right here.... after watching this and playing bass since 1986 i realized one thing,... I NEED TO PRACTICE!!! Thanks alot Chuck.... lol
I can hear that the "drummer" does not get tired toward the end. brilliant guitar playing!
Best version of this song. 👌
I think everyone appreciates the 'piccolo bass' as a nice touch.
That bit when he says you wanted to in the bass up is so damn cool
Dude your style is so cool. Never seen fret tapping like that on a bass before. You've made me pick up the instrument again.
This man right here is single-handedly my biggest inspiration to go for bass.
The "Fretless of a Down" section was absolutely beautiful. One of these days I will blow a huge amount of wonga on a fretless five-string.
I love the 220 string horizontal bass solo
What's magical about this is that he uses each technique at the right moment and it makes sense and sounds delicious!
Hey, I was listening to this song earlier today! Amazing work Charles, keep it up!
it's a very simple song.. u made it become a very complicated but charming song..
It absolutely blows me away at the abilities of humans that transend perceved limitations colab with El estapario sibareo, drumb wizard is a must
i loved that 88 string hammer actuated bass solo at the end
Outstanding...amazing... I enjoy very much listening
I keep coming back to this video because it’s so good, would love to hear it on spotify
The bass duet part was my personal fave! Really excellent work!
You're absolutely talented,man, brilliance 👏👏👏
I play a 32-string archipelago downturned bass and I couldn't hope to play this.
Absolutely amazing!
Charles … Charles …Charles …. THAT WAS AWESOME !!!!!!
CROWN THIS MAN ALREADY!!!!!
Sir King Charles Berthoud.
Sir … you really are a great one and I am glad to be able and witness this incredible talent.
Please continue to share.
Bass up
And the switching tunings
Were standouts.
You’re really getting the drive mix dialed in. Enough dirt to be gritty but retaining articulation. Approved!
This is the most magestic musical act that I have see and heard in the recent years.
Good gravy my guy. You have an amazing gift. And skills. And everything. Sick stuff.
this song reminds me of bands that i listened to during the 90s like rage against the machine, sepultura, deftones, korn n such..hope u'll cover more bands like them ✌️❤️🇲🇾
Thank you! Cool hurricane rhythm!
I loved your evolution from PRO BASS PLAYER to the best bass player in the world
I just love that song and your take on it was beautiful! Music is the thing that could heal a man’s soul, maybe even the whole world.
The harmonics and the detuner switches = sweet
You have surely Mastered those stringed instruments,workya a bow on a base Vile.
With piano solo... it's awesome!!!❤
As a fellow bassist, play the ibanez SRAS7 please
Very nice! As a guitar player who has a Schecter guitar, i love this Schecter Bass :) And your bassplay is amazing too of course! Very smooth and nice skills! Hats down
Like math rock and technical metal mixed together. Beautiful
What a great artist you are my friend. Really one of a kind.
I'm so glad to see that those old Mel Bay books paid off. Unbelievable virtuosity.
I love that when you casually throw in some piano, you're casually sitting at a grand piano.
That's the kind of "Go Big or Go Home" I really dig
Your compositions are absolutely incredible.
