Did anybody else notice Charles set a poll for this and Master of Puppets (which won), but played it anyway for the fans who voted for it? The people’s bass champ right here.
It was like 54 to 46 or somethin
@@cabobpolasek2517 Oh really? It was pretty far ahead at first. Either way they’re both badass! 🤟
I don’t remember if I voted, but it probably would have been for Master… but I enjoy this far better!
@@robsteady Nice! Hope he does this more often. And actually, I agree with you!
a true gentleman
With a loop pedal and your talent are you truly ever alone? Always love your compositions! This one is a banger!
And 1.38M subscribers.
There are two of them in this video apparently
I saw it was Bill Withers, one of the most soulful singers ever and I was like "this better have soul!" I am not disappointed. You are invited to the cookout, Charles.
You misspelled Will Smith
@@homsar5675 Oof
@@homsar5675 Bill Withers is a guy who composes music
Another good song, but it wouldn't exist without Bill.
Lol. I guess I should have added /s. Sorry
bro didn't have to call me out💀💀💀
I saw nothing sketchy or anything to do with sketchy doctors 🤔
I spent 4 years without being in a band until I ended up in 4 at the same time lol. Just work on fundamentals and technique and eventually you'll get there.
@@SimonBrisbane he means cos the title says "but you're single"
@@biskitz86913 yeah
Would love to see a time-lapsed Charles learning a song and arranging it. Just incredible
What learning? He got past this stage now 💪👍
@@matto9734 You are always learning no matter how proficient you may be.
1:51 I love that you kept that one note in. Great cover.
I didn't notice it at first. I was too busy getting back up off the floor.
I've seen victor wooten do that. I think it's a pinch harmonic but I'm still wrapping my brain around how to do it.
@@ricolasvilla I got you buddy:
he bends the string out of the neck, so it goes on a fret 😊
@@Quintinu boom! You're right. Happens so fast its hard to see. Ima go try it right now
That's the p-note. Because it's poopy. And poopy chocolate is Super-Gay.
Every video is a lesson extraordinary. Charles is the people's bassist
how can this man produce so many near-perfect if not absolutely perfect songs and renditions?? How is he soooooo friggin good???
Edit: people keep responding to me like I don’t know the obvious. My question above was a rhetoric one. I obviously know and deeply appreciate the ungodly amount of practice Charles must be putting in to get so good. I know that.
It’s called practice …… oh and freaky talent. 😂😂
because he has been doing this for years and years
practise an loads of lessons i play a six an 5 string an four a ubass been playing 16 years im disabeled i learnt by watching bever had a lesson aint as good coz i cant move left arm fast the us bass helps fer a small thing put it thru a300 watt high line amp with a soom bass peadel it shor do rattel my windows im 60 never to old to eock an roll
@@gruffrossi5420 please read before you post a comment sir.
Years of practicing both hard and smart.
Charles’s twin brother is an even better bassist than Charles himself. He needs to start his own UA-cam channel!
Who is the twin? The one on the left or the one on the right Side? Not sure...
You know what I think? I want an album of elevator music from Charles. No matter what elevator I get into and where, I want to hear funky bass by Charles. Please.
All the speaker assemblies in the elevators would have to be replaced to reproduce the bass properly ;)
yes, that would cost a bit to retrofit, but the savings could be recovered by not having to use electric winches to lift the car. Funk alone would provide the force of elevation.
Ah, always nice to see you guys play together. It always works so well, as if you had one mind...
When the vote was between the 2 songs, I had a feeling he would come through for all of us, Great job Charles, thank you!
This is beautiful! ❤️
Thanks!
I can't believe how exciting this piece is! I just listened to it six times in a row. Having been a musician myself, it's easy to see his extraordinary talents of musicality, technique, creativity, improvisation and composition. Also, he's an amazing cameraman and producer of high grade videos.
That bad note at 1:50 actually gives more character I think. Love it
You've never heard "The note" before?
Thats "The Note" he played it on purpose. He puts it in many of his pieces because he likes it.
Was that a bad note or a reference to Davie504's secret sound? Either way, it was Epico
My favorite note at all!
That "bad note" used a lot by Victor Wooten and also by Charles too ofc. Did you notice that Charles ALWAYS put an emoji when he hit that "bad note"?
Never thought of this piece as a duet. Wonderful discovery! ❤❤ Particularly love the smoothness of the sound when you finger-pick, and the beginning of the slap section. Thank you, and praise the Lord for your talent and hard work.
Every jazz player should listen to how you play this song so they can expand their playing levels. It’s also just really nice to listen to! I would love to hear my teacher play this song for us in jazz band!
@@berthoudcharles1 Have you ever done a video on Brian Bromberg? Here's a class he gave on slapping in 2008: ua-cam.com/video/zrRVLZ-imSA/v-deo.html Plus, his upright work is off the charts: ua-cam.com/video/r8DOJA5rphQ/v-deo.html
Amazing! You inspired me to start tapping with both hands.
Nice, hope you're having fun!
Dang right I am!
Chills, man... literal chills. I'm so glad to see this song get love again.
Charles' creativity for these video concepts never ceases to amaze me. Always a highlight in my day!
Charles, you should do an entire series like this! Cover random songs in slap, and call it "The Sounds of SLAP"
I have never seen any musician explore the untapped potential of an instrument this bravely. Bravo!
“Untapped”… nice! 👍🏻
just the two of BASS
you are so good that your arrangement is more pleasant to listen to than the original. your ability to create ingenious bass arrangements is unsurpassed, thanks ❤
@Mr_Charles_Berthoud чел ты…
Just to let you know how big of an impact watching you play this song was for me.. I am disabled with an immunocompromised disorder that the doctors don't understand.
So the too long didn't read version of this is that I was just told that I once again have a blood infection. This is and can be life-threatening to me, and in fact I have suffered three septic shock Comas where I was not expected to live any of those instances most recently in April of 2022. So, in an effort to keep me out of the hospital given that I'm immunocompromised already and have a deep understanding and set of experience in this Arena my infection doctor allowed me to stay home over the weekend as long as my vital stayed within certain parameters and then I wouldn't have to go into the emergency room. So I'm sitting here taking my blood pressure which is too low, and my heart rate which is too high, and my temperature.
So, I begin to listen to your music this song in particular. I was gratified to see that from the beginning of the song to the end of the song my heart rate dropped into more normal ranges.
See it's normal to have low blood pressure and high heart rate when you have a blood infection because your body doesn't have everything it needs to survive it's being attacked from the inside so all the blood you need is being sent to kill the Invaders In Layman terms, but your heart still needs to pump enough oxygen to all your organs and your brain so it has to work super super hard. Usually people have fevers Non-Stop but I am abnormal in most ways and fevers for me just don't happen that frequently.
I'm so sorry this is taking so long to describe, I swear this is the too long didn't read version of this story, because frankly I'm a writer and I'm writing my story and even just to snippet of it seems to take up a ridiculous amount of words. Thanks for sticking with me thus far I promise I will be done soon!
So your video in short and the Beautiful sound of you playing this song actually actively brought my heart rate down and calmed the pounding in my chest. That's a big deal, music makes a difference when you are ill, so does creativity so does art so if someone else out there is sick chronically the way that I am or in any way find Outlets to express yourself creatively as well as enjoying creative Outlets that others do because it's good for your body soul and your mind.
If for some reason you end up being more interested and want to know more about my story I'm more than happy to share it, you're welcome to just respond and repost if you want and I'll do my best to answer any questions of anybody if I notice that a comment has been made on my post. Thank you so much for the beautiful music that you create and the fact that you encourage other musicians as well is wonderful, I am a singer though it isn't something that I have been well enough to do for many years but I have a deep passion for music and believe that it has healing properties.
Blessings and peace to all of you, Sachi
Dr. Paul Merick (spelling?) developed a sepsis treatment protocol that has incredible results. Look out for it! Intravenous Vitamin C among other things
Another example of the power of music... I hope that you are doing better and I'm glad that you found some solice in Charles' music!
You sat and type an essay basically longer than what I have due in an yt comment section
I'm also disabled and chronically I'll and I'm touched with you and for you
You look so happy together
Thanks, we have a lot in common 🙌🏻
Musical, tasteful, true to the original and incredible technique. You're undoubtedly the best bassist of this generation when it comes to mastery of the instrument.
Не перестаю удивляться, Вашему исполнительскому мастерству..БРАВО МАЭСТРО!!!
Крутой музыкант, композиции классные исполняет. Я его в машине всегда включаю.
@@Shpendulum в каком месте он ставил флаг на стене?
@@Shpendulum он вообще ни разу ничего в своих видео не говорил о Украине, к чему вообще это было хейт ради хейта?
@@4apla1n видимо провокатор. Или монитор по vga работает и кабель отошел) Вот и мерещится
English, джентльмены, do you speak it?
I enjoy everything you release, but I must say that this arrangement is on another level. Excellent work.
When I watch your videos I can't decide whether I want to throw my basses away or pick them up more. You're SOOOO good! Better than Victor, Les and Flea. Is there anyone that you watch play that makes you feel challenged in this way? Seems you're raising the bar for all bass players and I can't think of anyone who can slap, pop, tap, or finger the bass better.
@berthoudcharles1 faker
Charles, you never fail to impress me with your skills. Always the unexpected. Cheers!
Every time I come back to this video, regardless of the mood I’m in when I click “Play” I’m always crying a minute or so in. And my tears don’t stop. A beautiful and thought provoking song played by the greatest bassist of my time.
Thank you, Charles.
Stunning! So impressive both tonally and visually yet ssssso musically inventive. Loved it!
I love how each of your basses has a distinct tone, each beautiful in their own way, and how you leverage these different timbres.
in *_its_* own way
@@RagingGeekazoid indeed!
this is just beautiful. I love your videos and these bass covers please keep it up!
You are my inspiration to start learning bass, you are the best bassist on UA-cam by far, and so awesomely talented. Your work is just so incredible, you give bass a whole new face and possibilities that not a lot of people have even think about in theirs life, keep going, your talent and originality are a boost of motivation and a big source of happiness for a lot of people.
Phenomenal rendition of this song and amazing production skills! Thanks Charles!❤
this sounds so good, definitely one of my favorites youve done
Fantastic! I stumbled on you today and cannot get over your talent!! This is SO smooth!! Keep sharing!😊❤
This is so good! I appreciate the restraint shown through much of this one-it’s better for it imo and makes the couple of note flurries really pop and shine.
love this tune, was showing to my wife and soon as the slap pop kicked in her face lit up and im like hell yeah that is badass musicianship there!
Beautiful, my man. So funky it’s a legitimate THREAT
So funky indeed
Such a beautiful remake!! Love it!
My mind relaxes the moment I hear uch a beautiful music😊.... Thank you Charles.
When you have bass, you have everything.
Poot Poot! 🙃
one of my all time funky favourites and Charles' rendition is bang on...nice!
Amazing - tone and timing to perfection. Thanks C.
A fantastic rendition of one of my favourite songs. You are amazing,
@@philimondagasi Hi, I don't know what prize it is, but it's nice to win.... at least I hope it is.
Bless you.
This is Charles Beethoven-houd every day 😢
To date one of your most harmonically beautiful pieces.
The world needs more bass Christmas sweaters!
Glad i found your channel. As a fellow bass player, subscribed man! Merry Christmas and happy new year. Just got a new bass in the mail today!❤
You are really great bass player Charles. Your techniques are so amazing and fast. I will practice so hard to be like as great as you man.
as always Charles, your music is heavenly beautiful!!!!!❤❤❤ i love it so much! and of course 1:52 was perfect 😏
Your music is wonderfull ! It is like hearing the sunrise ! Thank you so much !
You never fail to impress! This was so good, but the solo in particular gave me goosebumps. Keep up the amazing work!
Bro how do you cover or compose songs fast you are litterly a living legend🔥🔥
Litterly seems to indicate something else haha
He's literally THREE living legends. That's right - he's actually a set of identical triplets. How do you think they do those "multi Charles" scenes? Dudes don't know the first thing about video editing.... Nope - there's 3 of 'em.
Hahaha, bro is this a response to Ichika and Marcin's video? Cause that's just amazing 🤣
Great composition man! Been listening to the OG version recently and it's nice to get a fresh interpretation.
Haha no just a coincidence, but loved their version!
Yesss! I really dig that there's plenty of juicy smooth low end to float those sick lead riffs on down the song! Awesome!
Charles continues to blow my mind each video with how he plays bass! Not only did he inspire me to go out and buy my first bass instead of another guitar but almost every video makes me pick up my bass and get practicing! Keep it up man 👍😁
Thank you so much, Charles, for your music! You are a brilliant musician, a real genius!
May God bless you and your family!
Как же приятно слушать твои композиции. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Never cease to amaze mate, I just love sitting there listening to you play
The nimbleness of your left hand technique - just wow. Must be a large part of the reason why you have the cleanest note articulation that I can recall.
Please release this to spotify so I can listen on repeat !
You can play on repeat on UA-cam also
Not at work on my Playlist silly lol
Fucking banger bro. Was one of my top summer jams this year when tossing a few back. Loved this.
Always a treat and a pleasure to hear you play.🫶✌️😻🤞
One of my favorite songs ever and you absolutely did it justice. Thank you friend.
Imagine Charles going into a music store (in a country without UA-cam) and playing these lines into a loop machine.
The owner would surely ask whether this is Candid Camera...
Ooh, you're giving your age away w that comment! 😂😂😂
Sensacional a maneira de vc tocar, brother! Deus abençoe sua vida. Tenha um excelente final de ano e bons projetos para 2023. Muita “baixaria” para nossa alegria 🤩
Merry Christmas, Charles!!!
So good that I have to listen to it again right after I finished
Fantastic arrangement and playing as always
This is so harmonic!
Damn. This guy is actually pretty good at bass!
Eminem is better.
@@goprodog4304 yep eminem is crazy at bass
This is my favorite of all your videos. Thank you man
That was awesome. I love that song and the arrangement was great
Вот это задумка а исполнение - супер. Мое уважение . Что сказать - ТАЛАНТ.
полностью согласен
Глыба!..
Always thought the bass in the Austin powers version was great-thanks for making it even better!
I was waiting for this as soon as you made the poll between this and master of puppets! Thanks Charles. Masterfully done
Man i have been listening to this song the whole week, and then you post this masterpiece! Thank you truly. Greetings from Denmark and merry christmas ☺️.
People rave about Victor Wooten etc but I’m team Charles all the way🤘🏻To my mind, what singles Charles out from the rest of the new super technical bassist is his incredible sense of melodicism and compositional development. Come on Charles, reach out to some of the fusion greats like John McLaughlin or Jeff Beck, that would be sublime 🔥
Yup Charles
Definitely truly up there
Technically
I bet
Flea
Marcus
Les
Couldn’t play some of this stuff.
But in the end
Who knows
I believe Victor is still the giant I know he has hand / memory issues
But still it’s all in there
I also can't think of a bass player who is able to mix up the styles so well. He easily transitions between a slap and some tap without losing a beat. It's incredible.
Charles is probably the most talented bass player of all time
Very cool as always.
Thank you for the longer video :)
This was the first song i ever learned on bass and this makes me so emotional
The fact that you uploaded this cover just after Ichika released his version with Marcin... are you guys secretly planning something?
Yall dont realize how much effort it takes to do this, just to tap the bass and get eligible notes over 5 times is crazy, the dexterity, finger strength and accuracy, you gotta build that up over years. So much respect for how he took the easiest stringed instrument and made it so complex, just like flea and others.
"Easiest" lmfao
@@karenwang313 I mean yeah, I played guitar for 3 months, had a tough time, picked up a bass like a week ago and I'm killin it, so it's by no means difficult yk
@@sleepner777you’re just a beginner then. I’ve played guitar for years and bass is difficult played right.
It’s like piano, I can play simple pieces like river flow in you within a few days practicing, but the difficult pieces are very very difficult, and it’s evident when hearing a bad player and a good player play the same “easy” piece
10 months later, bass is easy and I can play almost anything on it. so, i think you're a bit wrong there bubby.@@pnoodl3s775
im so happy you're doing full covers again
Very very good job Charles !!! Love it 😍
Things can't get any more lonely than this.
🤣
This is such a stupid idea but you make it work so well, Charles! Keep up the amazing playing!
I love love love this. I must finish my master this summer and will purchase a bass and start online classes and join your Patreon. You inspire people Bro
you inspired me to start playing bass, im just a beginner rn but i’m loving it! great video!!
This is both excellent and tasteful. Thank you
Maaaan, such a vibe. Totally loved listening to this.
Phenomenal. As always, great cover Charles.
Beautiful production, best ever from Charles.
This, this right here is my dream for my bass playing, you have soooo mich talent and I strive to reach this one day, keep up the great content
Fantastic! Bravo, Charles!.
This was beautiful. Fantastic playing as always :D
Yes. Thank you Charles, eventhough this did not win in your poll, I'm very happy that you still did this. Love this song.
ok this must be the most soothing thing I ever heard on base guitar..
Hats off man, you're amazing as always.
What a great rendition. Bravo Charles! I love the dreamy electric piano too - nailed the feel of the record.
