Which battle was your favourite? 👇🏻
Idk i havent watched the video yet
The one with the music. I liked that one
The one with bass
My favorite will be when you battle Steve Vai
Winston vs bass turned all the way up
Thanks for the love Charles! Very fortunate to be a part of this battle! Goes to show... it's important to take every client seriously and aim for perfection because you never know if they are a viral UA-camr!
You're a humble dude for only charging $7 compared to everyone else. I can respect that.
The effort you put in for just $7 was very unexpected and you delivered an amazing solo. Great job man! 🤘
Thanks for doing it!
@@borzaclipes7924 Isn't it funny how taxed money can still be taxed? I'll see myself out now...
Very nice playing JL. You've got plenty of room to up your price.
" He nailed those ascending diminished chords at the end which are easy to miss ". Me, who doesn't understand music theory: " Yeah, dude he totally nailed those! "
If it sounds natural it flows if it doesnt it's not nailed
Yeah it's quite a bit to explain but just go with it
C’mon man, you know those..... “things” at the end.
Jesus Christ died for your sins
@@jesuslovesyou2616 Correct and everlasting life by repenting and believing in the Gospel/Jesus. Amen.
Hi! I'm the third player. Thanks to the author and all the participants for the great collaboration! And that really is a pick, not a thumb)
That was 4:20 when Charles spoke about thumb. I think that mistake wasn't a coincidence 😂
Great job!
You were my favourite btw. Great shred.
Was just about to post "pick tapping is criminally underused" but nevermind. Great playing!
You were awesome, loved it!!
Thanks for asking me to be a part of your video again Charles, everyone was awesome!! A pleasure to be included amongst so many amazing guitarists :)
Thanks for doing it!
Great playing on this adamward !
Thank you so much for having me on board Charles, it's a pleasure to be featured in this, and it's really impressive how the prices don't make any sense in relation to the quality and musicality.
Yours was my favorite. Every note perfectly placed, and that sexy tone on the low notes. 😍
The first one was so dope he needs to up his price
Sure...he is great
Bass is always the winner...
I agree
Yeah, I was expecting someone kinda trashy. Awesome value!
He was a pretty good musician. I feel like he probably just spreads himself really thin doing a lot of stuff, so his guitar muscle memory isnt as well developed as his musical skill
Thanks for having me dude!! 🎸 You rock
You killed it dude!!
Very nice playing!
Hey bro you killed that game !! Love your style ! Datz PERFECT ! 🙏🏼
You got a new fan. ✌
@@bentarpey8666 Thanks Ben!!
Coming soon:
1 PRO Guitarist vs 7 PRO Bassist
I can't wait
😂
All the pro bassists are Charles different characters
@@CharlesBerthoud have you heard about alip ba ta? He's pro, i bet you can't play his arrangements
@@groobells No, one of them will be a special guest appearance from Davie503, but the rest will be Charles characters.
The Doo join the group
Thanks Charles, for including me! It was an honor to be included with these great guitarists! I had a blast “sparring” with you & hope we can do it again! 🤥
"The best noise cancellation I've ever heard." But if you can't hear it, how can you hear it?
The best noise cancellation I've never heard
@@CharlesBerthoud even I couldn’t hear it and I wasn’t even wearing any.
That’s the sign of quality gear
@@CharlesBerthoud I don’t know what they paid you for that advertisement, but it wasn’t enough! Your acting and improvisation was inspiring! Really made me want to buy the product! Your talents go way beyond bass playing, and you may be the best bass player ever? There may be bass players as good as you, but surely there are none better.
He chose to listen to nothing, and it worked.
@@CharlesBerthoud on point.^^
THANK YOU SO MUCH for the opportunity! See you soon Charles!
Brilliant Gabriel! Best of the lot.
It's interesting how differently they deal with key changes.
The 'song' structure is:
1. E minor/E phrygian bass part (silence for guitar solo)
2. F# minor blues pentatonic part (silence for guitar solo)
3. A-flat diminished seventh arpeggio, B-flat diminished seventh arpeggio, B major chord (with short silences in between) and E minor blues pentatonic ending lick.
There's a challenge for guitar players to connect parts 1, 2 and 3. To create cohesive piece guitar part gotta somehow arrive from E minor key to F# minor. And then from F# minor to A-flat diminished seventh chord.
So I got curious to see how every musician approached those key changes.
For example, first dude (Ljfulks) just kinda reacts to bass guitar without thinking of key changes. Bass plays in Em, then guitar responds with E minor pentatonic lick which ends on root note (E) on strong beat without regard to F# minor bass part which begins in this moment. Same thing with his second solo: pure F# minor pentatonic ending on F# note. He's aware what goes before his solo but ignores what goes after.
Gabriel Borza: kinda connects parts 1 and 2 by ending first solo with bend going from E to F#. Then he goes wild playing A7 arpeggios and then going to B minor pentatonic lick ending on B, which connects to A-flat diminished seventh smoothly. Nice.
Jungle man connects 1 and 2 by plaing mainly E minor stuff but ending it with bold F# note, which sounds weird in E minor context but then bass starts playing in F# minor key and it all starts making new sense. Then he precedes A-flat diminished seventh just by playing atonal chromatic craziness. Well, why not, that works too.
Davidmargalitad responds to Em part by D minor sounding lick ending it with A note. Weird, but at least that A makes sense in F# minor. Then he responds to F# minor part with... another D minor lick. Okay, that's definitely weird ) I kinda understand where first Dm lick came from: he took E, D and F from beginning of bass part and proceeded from that. But the second solo seems to be in Dm just because first one was in Dm (and because his guitar is tuned D standard).
Sotomusic responds to Em part by starting with Em pentatonic, then outlining A major arpeggio (which is connected to F# minor) but then he ends with C-E-G-A-B phrase which theoretically is wrong way to precede F# minor pentatonic, but it works somehow. Then he plays strictly F# pentatonic but ends it with B note which connects to A-flat diminished seventh chord.
Mathiaslunde starts with Em pentatonic but right before first key change he goes to F# minor pentatonic and ends phrase with F# note. Then he precedes A-flat diminished seventh arpeggio by ending second solo on A-flat. Smooth.
Adamwardguitar does a lot of things in first solo (E phrygian dominant, Emajadd9 arpeggio, E mixolydian stuff) and ends it with G to Aflat bend. Whaat? Second solo is more traditional: he starts with F# minor pentatonic and then precedes bass A-flat diminished seventh arpeggio with his A-flat diminished seventh arpeggio.
Nerd
@@supersandwich8967 I'll take that as a compliment )
@@rainyandsunny XD but honestly I do appreciate you breaking down what's going I'm trying to get into music theory and this helps understand everything
This must have taken so much time to write up, thank you for breaking it down. Love the mixolydian stuff the last dude does
Sir this is a Wendy's
Really though, very interesting
I believe Jungle man was tapping with his pick, not thumb
yeah, it looks just like Joe Satriani's pick tapping technique
Yap
Approved
Yeah i think you're right!
Oh I just thought Charles made a joke cause bassists don't like picks lol but turns out he was serious. Yeah, that's the pick tapping technique.
I can never remember the guy who played guitar for Jimmy Hendrix glad I’m not the only one.
The first guy was playing something musical, then we took a dip into 'complicated noise' until the $70 guy, then back into musical expression with the PRO's
Complicated noise. I like that haha
Complicated noise is so on point haha
Seriously what I was thinking as well.
i liked the $70 guy the most, i feel like his stuff really fit what charles was playing
I though the Jungleman did the best out of the earlier ones
Now THAT is how to involve a sponsor without it being "ugh skip 30 seconds" Well done mate. +100
Ah, I think I know what I'm gonna do these days
Dude, you should make a series of this! Getting a bunch of different takes on a piece was really cool and makes me think more about how I could improve my own writing!
Jungle Man wasn't tapping with his thumb. That was a pick tap.
which is harder to do right if I'm being honest.
{Charles} .... what's a pick ? lol
You know it was a joke. Of course it was thumb. Bassists often joke about the pick
Actually, no, i didn't know. Besides. I was just offering some friendly information.
@@mrkennady Truth.
Mathiaslunde was my favourite, bit of space in there to really feel the interaction. Good to see the return of Ludwig van Basshoven as well!
Thanks Brenden!!
@@MathiasLunde yeah, you were better than others here.
End he was kinda cute 😳
Seems Ludwig had forgotten he was wearing those airpods through the last decade of his life...
😂
Brutal
Man it's so wholesome you get to showcase these amazing artists and even giving that generous tip which for sure gonna make the guy really happy. Keep these videos and the amazing content up, greatly enjoyed it.
Hey, you're definitely right about the prominence of BASS! I will most certainly enjoy this series of musical battles!
What you are doing is amazing. Sharing your platform for other musicians? Giving them a place to shine in such a light hearted manner. I truly respect it and you. Thank you for being an awesome human and making the music community a better place.
I don’t play bass but that news article hurt me
I dont even play a single instrument but that article made my heart cracc
It's a satirical article from somewhere like 'The Onion.' Chill.
I’m glad Charles didn’t take it seriously
I am a bass player a I maybe laughed way to hard after reading that article because something like that happened to me too when I was at my school's band playing bass, well not exactly the sleeping part but we had a couple of girls watching us while we were practicing and a couple of them asked " sO, wHaT's pIyUsH pLAyIng??"
That's triggered me so I just stopped and they immediately understood what I was playing lol
Huh... memories.
Your stuff is really entertaining! Keep up the good work!
This video was absolutely amazing @CharlesBerthoud !!! Please do more of these!! My favourites were the second guy (some of his glissando was absolutely wild) and the last guy. So much talent in one video!!
Charles, a tip for your videos. There is clipping noise when you switch audio clips. Given that audio is a feature of your videos may I suggest a method of removing this distortion? If you can rapidly (but not instantly) put a volume envelope on each audio track just before it ends it will "fade out" to zero. The clipping noise occurs even when you think the audio is silent but is not at zero at the end of a track (sometimes there is a DC bias to different audio clips - so if they all fade in from zero and fade out to zero then there's no step between). Effectively a clip from some audio to no audio is a square wave - and a square wave has many harmonics - which is why it is perceived so noisy.
For musicians it’s easy to understand why the last guitarist delivered the best response, I was so happy to finally see someone play the parts stating the musical questions rather than just reacting to the responses from Charles
A Fender guitar recently came into my possession and I began researching a little to start learning it, but ever since I have discovered this channel, I'm hooked on the bass and now plan to get one. Awesome channel!
These instrument "battles" are some of the most wonderful music vids on UA-cam. I can always watch more!
As a bassist, you are pretty incredible. You have shown me a new perspective on playing which I will try to integrate into my own playing. 👍
It’s interesting that all of them chose to use distortion, and maybe that was what you were looking for. However, a jazz guitarist with a clean sound could have easily fit into the soundscape as well and would have been an interesting contrast.
Epic playing and entertainment, as always. Thank you for giving me something cool to watch on the first day of classes.
Cool, just arrived here from dave504. Do more battle, please.
This is so awesome! I really feel the need to start playing an instrument, even though it will take 100 years to pass beginner level for me.
Can't decide either Gabriel or Mathias as my favorite
"I'm gonna leave him a generous tip"
*tips 1379 %*
*All the restaurant industry wants to know your location*
The first one is actually so epic, i love his solos ! :) and the first in pro section was so peic too ! nice musicians :) But my favorite is the last one ! awesome tone, great choice of scales and phrases ! so epic :)
Oh wow i could watch these all day... Amazing stuff!!
Loved this Charles. All round entertaining vid. 💙👍
The battles were great 🙏 Special applause for the Winston and Ludwig sketch 😁
I love this guy. He is so incredibly british, I love it. The fact that he is also a bassist takes this guy up to a whole 'notha level!
Also half Finnish from what I hear
Loved the battle, great work as always! Just a quick note. For whatever reason, on more than a few of your scene transitions, there is an obnoxious static pop that really detracts from your commentary. Just thought I would mention it because I didn't think it was intentional. Cheers!
I am really digging these response videos. Very impressive
Honestly the first guy had the best tone and his playing blew the 4th guy out of the water . That heavy bluesy feel always gets me .
Some really bad audio clipping when transitioning between cuts, pops my speakers pretty bad. Awesome video otherwise.
100%. Happened to me as well.
Same :c
ruined the video for me, clipping at every cut
Yeah it's a real mess. Pretty unfortunate on a video that you otherwise want to listen really closely to
Same here
This video was awesome... there are so many incredible musicians everywhere 💪
+1 for the clever sponsor ad! Adam and Brandon I think got where you were going and worked best with the theme.
The amount of talent in this world is mind boggling.
Hey Charles, I became a fan of yours after the first battle with Davie504. Your musical ability is outstanding and really inspires me to get better on my instrument. Even though your skills are incredible, you stay humble and that inspires people to be better. Continue to do an amazing work! Love from everywhere.
Ahhh love this shit. Thanks for making music fun, epic, and happy. I was smiling all the way through this whole video. Great job.
Charles, I love your videos, I always watch your new ones! I especially love the classical pieces that you play. Your arrangements of them are spectacular! I would love to hear you do a bass arrangement of Liebestraum by Franz Liszt.
I think you would find it both beautiful and technically challenging. Well, maybe not challenging for you LOL
Honestly each and every one of them was amazing
Love this.
Hey Charles, great video!! Nice battles !! Just one thing IMHO, I hear pops and clicks in every transition you make, just be careful with that because sometimes is very annoying. Besides that, your videos are awesome!
So Damn Sweet ! I think the pro level started for me with the seven bucks guy ! Amazing video as always ! I can’t wait to see the next one !!!
If all bassists played like you they would get more respect
The bassists who don't play well are the band's worst guitarist and not the best Bassist. Fact.
Most music that makes it somewhere doesn't have the space for bass to take the spotlight. This has room to show off because there are no lyrics or really any instrumentation outside of the bass. The rest is just bland background. Bass just isn't a spotlight instrument and the more impressive something is, generally the less accesible it is for a mainstream audience. But bass especially.
@@JSteezy besides most people probably don't even use headphones that could give them the sense of bass ykwim.
@@jeevakrishnan4500 yep, that's one reason. And even then it's generally never the dominant thing meloically. Sometimes rhythmically.
Hello charles, i have beloved headphones too, i'm hearing a (at least 10) quick but jarring flickers in audio between some of your cuts. I thought my bran new headphones were broken lol it's a little distracting
Was looking for this comment!
same, great video anyway but check it out plz!
Oh man. I thought my ear buds were broken. Thanks for that comment.
yea, I hear it on my bluetooth speaker
Yeah I'm gonna look into it!
hey dude Love the video! there are few audio pops between different shots of you talking especially around the 4 & 8 minute mark. other than that, brilliant video as always :)
You have never ceased to amaze me completely time well spent watching a great value for my time Charles. Thanks again
🎸
I’m gonna be honest. I’m not a musician and can’t even play but not that many people actually listened to Charles’ and tries to fit the mood
It's rather difficult even if you are a good musician. And Charles is academically trained which gives him a huge edge
@BLVCK CVT it's a good thing art and music are subjective 😊
@BLVCK CVT try your best if that's what you want 🤷♀️
@BLVCK CVT I'll pass 🤣
@BLVCK CVT nice burns.
Charles: bass is better than guitar
Absolutely everyone else on earth:
Nice 4 string guitar
Of all the epic basslines I've heard you come up with, your 2nd phase is quite possibly the most auditorily satisfying thing I've heard in a long time.
Great Battle Charles, Soto and Adam were the best of the bunch...loved that Bass though. 🤘🏼😈🤘🏼
There is a snap in the end on evers 10 sec, maby can u lisen to it and fix it?
You should do a collab with Brandon Ackers
Wow, dude. Thanks for including me in your battle) Awesome stuff, much appreciated!
The opening riff kept making me think of Tenacious D’s « the Metal ». Great video, they were all really impressive!
the beginning of that first "battle" sounded like part of Tenacious D's "Metal"
No one can destroy the metal.
To be fair, you went easy on them Charles. You were playing at 10% level.
You're a stud Charles. Always killing it.
I’m almost speechless. I’m just an ordinary guitarist- but you are amazing and not only a genius on bass, but you are funny intelligent and burns right through the screen. Fantastic idea. You deserve what ever you make off money
Charles has the best sponsor segments, change my mind.
Daniel Thrasher
4:19 pretty sure, judging by his speed, he was tapping with his plectrum :)
Came here to find someone saying this! 😊
All battles are awesome 👏🏻
I love these videos!
Ok the Jimi Hendrix thing was hilarious
"His parts fit perfectly with mine" TWSS
Sotomusic/the $73 recording was my favorite. He was the opener for the pro tier. Every note fit perfectly into place and felt like a well sized serving. 👌
I waited for somebody to play that Dim chord first, and finally there was one who thinks ahead! Interesting stuff!
Honestly the only one I really thought fit was Mathias Lunde's. He was the only one where the battle felt like you played of each other instead of trying to show of without considering what the bass played at all. The others felt like opera singers trying to do a rap battle.
Jungle man sweeping like Malmsteen...
Sounds like an interpretation of DTs 'Panic Attack' and it's brilliant. Great job Charles, as usual, and for giving these otherwise unknown (to me) amazing musicians the chance to shine by your side. You and Davie rock! And I love bass. That is all. Ty
Pretty sure he lifted the opening lick from there for sure. The rest departed rapidly though, so it's fine.
Ok you singing lines is so wholesome. Love it.
23 dollar guy had such a weird picking technique! Kinda like EVHs trem picking
That “thumb tapping” was actually pick tapping
@charlesberthoud that's not a "thumb" tap, it's a pick tapping. love your stuff, dude
the second-to-last one was definitely my favorite, but none of these hold a candle to charles's battle with nito. it's one of my favorite pieces of music to this day
I found a harmony on bass everytime i hear a sonh
imo Jungle man was the best but everyone do something intresting
Thank you guys! This was AWESOME!!!!
extremly talented musicians out there and great tone
dude, in link is wrong video. too short !
Thanks for letting me know - should be fixed now!
@@CharlesBerthoud great :)
Why don't you put out a challenge against Steve Vai?
Damn. That'd be something.
Joe Satriani and Tosin Abasi might work too, and I don't mention those 2 by coincidence. They actually like posts by Charles on Instagram, lol (as does Jack Black, and no, I'm not kidding, Jack likes almost every post).
Hi Charles, i'm a bassplayer, too, (not as good as You, but still), and You are truly Awesome, Thanks for all your amazing bassplaying videos - Long Live Bass! 👍🎶
This is a great video!
He is going to have a lot of hate for tha opening.
When Jimi's name is in the band name 😱🤣
It’s all a joke 🤣🤣
A lot of guitarists sound like they were just playing riffs and not battling.
Sotomusic was the best.
You should really check his channel...
totally agree, other guys just play common riffs... Sotomusic was way better and original
@@ThePsyska Im lucky enough to play in some of his projects and to be my house mate... what a teacher to have =)
I really REALLY liked the jungelman !!
Heeyyy, thats how you do a sponser, just a wee sketch instead of a 1:30 discription. Glad to see it man, keep it up!
