Holy crap, bass is like a real instrument!
Who knew?
You are taking it too far. Don't give the bassists any ideas.
You sure?
As a bassist, I am shocked.
This guy has more technical ability than 3 or 4 hair metal bands.
Or 30 to 40 grunge bands.
It's nice to note that the drummer found some sticks during the solo but decided to let the bassist have it. Seems like the drummer might be a new bass fan!
bass & drummer friendship foreva ❤
We drummers need to be kind to our bass playing brethren 😉
Love drummers, most underrated band members other than bass. They are always so chill too.
@@drydryb0nesshorts I play bass also, so I try to ensure all bass players and drummers have strong bonds 😁
@@Victinitotodileprototadile is king of water starters
Charles we need an album of all these songs man😭
I'm working on it!!
maybe a europe tour after that too! like bernth, im going to see him live in october IM SO EXCITED
@@CharlesBerthoud Don't change the format! They're nice little tunes to listen to without thinking. No need to turn them into 5min+ epics.
@@CharlesBerthoud🥳
@@CharlesBerthoudHonestly one of my favourite bassists, you don’t sound like anyone
😂😂😂 “my sticks just exploded”. Excellent
I hate when that happens…😂
Me to
Honestly out of that, guitar running out of batteries and keyboard struck by lightning, drumsticks exploded is the one that actually happens.
Bro is using tnt sticks for the drums
Man, a solo so powerful that the instruments fixed themself just to play along
This is the power of *bass*
Charles is obviously a world-class musician but I want to take a moment to point out that in addition the composition and editing in all his videos is always excellent. I'd love to see a video where he walks us through how he designs, shoots and edits one of these!
Same here!
Nah, I want to believe it's magic.
Yeah... but he is poor at casting actors. All look kinda the same
An not forgot about the ideas of what to do , the clothing and the speeches he finds out :)
sound quality and mix is money too. brother is a gem. and if it weren't for youtube we might have missed out on all this
"But anyways..." Love it Charles. Combining music and comedy in less than Bass-ic ways. Keep it up
As a drummer, I have had sticks basically explode under heavy playing. I've lost count of the number of times a stick broke and the other half of it recoiled off a drum and just went flying 😂😂😂
At least it was just your stick! RIP Stumpy Joe.
As a keyboardist, i had keyboards basically struck by lightning while playing Ride The Lightning songs
As a bassist, I had basses with notes so low, it sunk under the stage and had to detune an excavator to find it.
I’m a bassist and I was playing with my band and my drummer was having trouble so our music teacher started playing the drums. He plays really loud and ended up snapping the stick. He went in the back and got new ones but it was pretty funny.
I was playing a gig in a real dive, about 25 people there, and the drummer who does bash those skins broke his stick, and it flew up and stuck the guitar player in the neck! He finished his guitar solo with blood running down his chest and a stick hanging out of his neck! He wasn’t very happy about it, but the crowd went wild!
If I'd known that playing bass could sound like this when I was younger I may very well have taken it up. You're a living credit to the instrument!
Don't let it stop you now man. I picked up bass late man. I expect I will never be anywhere near Charle's level, but I enjoy what I do.
i picked it up at 23, go for it & don't look back
I started at 30, 9 months later I'm almost 31 and I'm in a metal band playing shows. It can happen, it's genuinely never too late
I’m 16 when I first wanted to try it, I’m 20 now and planning to buy one while I’m practicing bass on an acoustic guitar xD
I have been a bassist for 20 years and I never thought of a bass as a solo instrument. And then Charles came along and changed everything. 😀
Bass solos _are_ a mistake 99% of the time because they break the performance - stuff has to lay out of the way of the bass's round and mellow sound so as to not drown it, and usually have a hard time going under a bass since the solo won't be that high. As a result, the music usually just stops dead in its tracks.
And on top of that the solo is (like a large chunk of solos on other instruments as well) going to be someone masturbating on the fretboard and farting out notes as fast as they can. May excite some, but almost always leaves me cold.
Charles' piece here works because the solo is not wankery (mostly), but mostly just a tasty groove that plays to the bass' strengths and not to the player's need to show off. The brief note-spamming moments are by far the weakest ones.
You really do something unique- I was laughing by the time the drummer’s sticks exploded. Then you pivot straight into the kind of music that relaxes and energizes simultaneously- it was a relaxing sound and vibe, yet you throw all of these virtuosic moments in that keep to the beat so comfortably that it creates energy and joy for the listener. And, wouldn’t you know it, right at the end you throw in a hilarious parody of guitar solos, with the extra touch coming from that organ’s single drone to back it up. Thank you for the wonderful, creative, joy filled content!
Damn this was SICK. Your chord progressions are always so friggin tasteful!
Thanks!!
@@CharlesBerthoud ❤️❤️❤️
Feels a bit gospelish ;-)
It's so true.
I love hearing you play the other instruments, Charles. Thanks for being such a bright light on the planet!!! Love from Vermont!
I'm glad you're getting the amount of views and recognition you deserve, keep it going!
His views aren't merely enough. Deserves way more than that
what? he deserves all the views every guitarist combined and doubled
who of the soprano_guitar players put this much effort to be this good as Charles? 99.99999999% of them nether ever be near, lazy attention seekers
@@Deep42Thoughtwhat
Love the videos keep it up love the bass
Thank you!
That was no bass solo that was a beautiful piece of music! You make the bass sound like a symphony!
Ahhh I remember when all the instruments completely got destroyed by chance and the bass had to take up the wings. It was fate indeed! Cheers man
Charlie boy … officially now my favourite UA-cam artist . Blown away by your talent and always such a pleasure to watch 👍
You're a very talented musician! Love that you have proven to the world how great the bass is!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
You're obviously only speaking for yourself here. Much of the world has known how great the bass is for some time before the birth of Charles.
Charles' humor is getting better and better
This is not just a bass solo, it's an actual well-thought-out composition.
I’ll be honest Charles, the videos where you mix your intoxicating humour along with the awesomeness of your bass-playing are the ones I enjoy and laugh during the most! These skits are pure gems, I especially remember the Jazz and Beethoven ones very fondly 🤣👌🙌, keep up the great work mate!
U are nothing less than Amazing. I’ve been playing bass for a long time and I could imagine being able to play like that. Inspirational
I absolutely love this kind of extremely emotional and melody focused music, absolutely nailed it
yooooo what up charles the goat. love your stuff man your my inspiration to keep playing🎉🎉
Keep playing!!
2:37 The bass solo was so good that his drum sticks actually reintegrated! 😜
That was one of the best soloes I have heard. So melodic and musical with focus on sounding good to the listener and not just showing off how fast you can play. Thanks.
This bass solo is ridiculously good. One of your best
I love the crazy guitar solo at the end! That cracked me up!!
Me too. 😂 I just bursted out laughing at the appreciation: "...but anyways..." Hahaha!
Slaps so hard!!!
Bro you are actually one of the few people that really help me keep my passion for bass and music alive. Fascinating playing man keep up.
I could hear this song literally for hours.
dude not only your songs are awesome but your mix sounds incredible!
That was both funny and funky-ass cool! Loved it!
Now I have to learn this song… so nice… awesome Charles
Amazing song man. Thank you for every video you make. Keep doing what you do, Charles
This deserves to be on trending
Always love your videos man. Keep it making EPIC bass videos
Always a pleasure to watch you play that bass thingy! I mean ALWAYS! Cheers my dude!
This is really good. Charles you are not just a chop monster. You are deeply musical. I wish you would release a CD.(I still buy CDs) they are coming back LOL
Absolutely outstanding! Love the arrangement and playing
Beautiful work! I love listening to your playing. Thank you.
This is why charles is my second favorite bassist of all time...humor and great flipping bass lines..loved it as always charles..thanks brother❤
I loved the motive in this one ... super sweet in the perfect ammount !
Yay! The Berthoud Band is back. My favorite videos
We played these cool licks in our heads but you express them brilliantly into reality through your playing. ❤
Your videos always make me smile.
I really love this solo It is literally the best bass solo I ever heard
Amazing .. I can sense the "Just the two of us" vibe on this jam!
Wow I hadn't realized it but you're absolutely right, I feel it too!
basically the same chord progression between 1:21 and 1:27
I love that he has a solo section in the middle of his solo
I watched many of your videos. I love it! I am so happy when I watch your video. Thank you.
Simply awesome groove. Masterful!
You never cease to amaze me. Once again very well done.
I love the tone from that bass....so much sweetness
I always love original content and music. Thanks Charles!
@@MR_CHARLES_BERTHOUD I’m…sorry? This looks a lot like a scam
europe tour when i need to see you live, im gonna see bernth live soon im SO EXCITED
Amazing musician
Why do I feel as if I was on hold for 2 minutes? 🤔🤣
Thank you Charles! Love it! 💯🔥
"We appreciate your call, all of our associates are busy assisting other customers. Someone will be with you shortly"
Because you aren't dead yet?
I WISH companies had Charles's music as an option for hold music lol.
Just coooool Charles, love it
Beautiful. Just beautiful music.
As a drummer, that drum face is on point sir....hat tipped.
Your playing feeds my soul
Madre mía !!!. You’re a damned genius. You’ve got it all. How lucky we are for enjoying you !!
feeling the groove. well done charles!
Cool playing as usually you doing it, Charles!
Excellent you da man had me chuckling again in this crazy old world
When the guitar kicked in the rest of the song just sounded like a straightup casiopea song, love it
Excellent !
Cliff always held the crown for melody, chops and virtuosity in my eyes. You have taken the baton from him and ran further than even he did with it. Like SRV did with Hendrix, the student outshines the master. You're a monster of a musician, and I mean that with the utmost respect. Cheers, my brotha!!
Who is Cliff and SRV did not outshine Jimi Hendrix.
@@electric8668 cliff Burton. And yes, he did. Listen to his version of any Hendrix song.
Peace.
you simply saying you never put any effort or interest, researching the greatest and the best of bass of players if you think Cliff Barton deserves to be mentioned (he is good but not that good)
just make some effort...
@@Deep42Thought No one knows this effort you speak of!
@poolfixerdude Remember it's much easier to copy a masterpiece than it is to create it. Jimi Hendrix is the master SRV was great at copying what Hendrix created.
B that was truly epic TO ME! I’m first a lead guitar and bass second! YOU NAILED! It ! My concept of melodic playing on BASS! Thanks
Best one so far! ♥
Dude, smashing , just smashinf. Love your video and the bass playing....great job great play....love the talking to your other self....great job so entertaining and fresh. Masterful playing....
Has to be the best ever! You seem to get better with each video.
I really love how charles compose the melodies
Always sooo good... And even better and better ! Thanks ♥︎
thank you for another BASS solo. so awesome!
Thats the reason I love drum and bass solos; they are so rare that when they happen they are so good.
"My sticks just exploded." Well, they could just break, so kinda right?
I would love to hear an actual song like this, if you'd be willing I love the combo with the guitar and bass at 1:30
Keep up the amazing content mate thanks for this🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
Made my day again! Set my vibe!
Just beautiful!
That guitar solo was perfect. I remember playing in a garage band (practicing in an actual garage) when I was in high school. I would always leave with a headache.
The 7string shreddy playing a complementary guitar parts that supports the soloist is pure science fiction! Lol 😂
Yeah, let's hear it for the bass solo! Love you playing all the parts with the appropriate outfits and expressions. Spot on.😎💯♥
Fantastic solo!
Oh, That made me feel happy. Thank you!!
love ur videos bro
Again I listen to his arrangement 6 times in a row.
😂 Always love your videos!
The guitar #57 gets me every time!🤣🤣🤣😂
i know its not a bass but i LOVE that Schecter KM7 Hybrid!!
Another awesome video.
got that "do for love" vibe to it. fantastic stuff
Awesome as usual!!
Nice drumming and guitar and keyboards! Once the full band joins in, the feel is pretty bloomin awesome for one guy playing all the parts :)
Sir, I almost can't believe the level of tasteful expertise that I have come to expect from you. My mind is permanently blown! Thank you very much!
It was illegal how funky that was.
his playing always gets stuck in my head hours after its so good
I love how you know when to slow down and focus on a melodic hook! Loving how tasteful and soulful this one was
Very cool, completely original piece of music mastery.
