I heard "Bohemian Rhapsody" in my car last week and thought to myself, "I wonder if Charles has ever done a bass version of this song?". I submit this to the growing amount of evidence I exist in a simulation. Some evidence I may not exist in a simulation is that I never thought it could sound this good! Well done, bud!
Have you ever read about George Friedrich Wilhem Hegel?
I submit this as evidence of the collective conscious theory.
I submit this as evidence of synchronicity
Or maybe its an iconic song, played on every radio station, put in every playlist and of course crowd pleasing songs are easy views.
Waiting for the people that'll reply "Oh sure bud, that definitely happened"
I love when you bring out the fretless 6 string. it has a really beautiful sound
yeah this fretless with the metal fretboard sounds SO good. And those tap slides with that twangy vibrato on the end he can throw in on a fretless are so nice
I think I speak for everyone when I say that we need a full version of this 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Amen, this was absolutely amazing, fully too short. Echoing mama Mia and demonic choir, need those back, they would be brilliant.
Yeah
@@BenODen Hell Yeah
This!
Harmonics, electronic bow, expert tapping, great musical interpretation, and even a tuning key pitch bend at the end; such a remarkable concatenation of techniques that you've honed over the years that this feels like this was the end game all along.
fretless harmonics cant be easy to do lol
That’s a legendary piece with an amazing interpretation! Your fretless tapping with harmonics and fingerstyle is magical ✨ Bravo 🙌🏽
That coming from another A++ artist is a great compliment, and I fully agree. I would love to hear your interpretation as well. I'm sure it would be equally unique. 😊
@@rediscoveringamerica3003 Indeed a must-play piece before dying. Someday, I'm going to try it for sure. Meanwhile, I will continue to be mesmerized by Charles's holy abilities.
Hugs
Ur face is amaizing
and ebow
The melting of the verse into the solo...was especially mindblowing.
It's probably one of my favourite guitar solos! Perfect combination of melody that fits the song with some showing off sprinkled in 🔥
My mind definitely got blown. And my breath got taken away. And now I am typing my final words here on the computer as I know I will run out of air in my lungs here in a moment and what little bit is left of my mind will not help me survive this. Please, you gotta help me! Please, send air quickly!! This is not fair.... I had so much more to do, so much more to experience in this life. Its not fair..... its.... not.... faiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidae[9pj.
I'm happy that he's got a million and a half subscribers because this is a rare talent that deserves to be shared with the entire world.
And he does not even have to ask his Tappers to create throwaway accounts just to increase his sub count ;-)
the sound of a fretless will never get old to me and the amount of skill to play one will never cease to be impressive either
For the algorithm. ✊
Bien joué 👌
Not all heroes wear capes
In need my matam'a"dical aou'gowidum's
YES!
Uncle Algo sure got some rhythm here!
Fretlesses has so many cool and unique potential with it. Very smooth as always man!
True! A lot of unTAPPED potential with fretless 😎
@@CharlesBerthoud Haha you got it for sure!
@@CharlesBerthoud 😂 Funny!
@@CharlesBerthoud LOL 🙂
Yeah it sounds so smooth, could listen to it all day
Usually I see headlines like "sounds breathtaking" as pure clickbait. This is the first video of yours that I wholeheartedly agree with such a title. Marvelous!
Mate, I just got your tapping book in the mail and OMG you signed it!? and wrote thanks Ed!? As a nurse in Aus who had pretty much put my music aspirations to bed you have inspired me to try and become the best bass player I can again, but this time actually practicing and putting the effort in. Thanks so much and keep it up please!
I genuinely believe you are one of the most talented musicians Alive today! Absolutely insane what you do on a daily basis.
His tapping skills are up there with the best. He's one of the few musicians i've ever seen tap with his ring finger and pinky before. That takes so much practice to get your pinky up to strength to tap lol XD I'd jam the hell out of it XD
Yea, but keep working at it kid; greatness awaits.
I believe you mean daily bassis
Lap it up 🤘
How extremely well and amazing can someone play bass?
Charles: Yes!
As always beautiful to listen to!
lol this comment made me laugh because you hit the nail on the head with what Charles would respond with.
wait a funnier Charles response would be: Has someone summoned me?
@@dredwicki agree
We need a full version IMMEDIATELY
Such a masterful take on one of the greatest songs. The way you play that fretless bass helps give it a whole new amazing sound again, awesome
Charles is a maestro of every bass! Your playing + Bohemian rhapsody = the best video I can watch this evening ✨ perfect!
Thanks!
Seriously, this is why some ppl strive to make exceptional instruments. And the last phrase was absolutely stellar.
This brought tears to my eyes. A wonderful arrangement, and there is something incredibly soothing and unique in the sound of fretless bass!
I'm fine. I've just got something in my eyes... I am convinced you are one of the most accomplished musicians on the planet. What an incredible arrangement and masterful technical skills. Your use of the harmonics was ninja level. Bloody well done, sir.
In this ridiculous stressful world, one of the only things I look forward to each week are uploads from Charles. Your music is one of the brightest spots on youtube. Amazing work brother
Absolutely Beautiful! The feeling that emanates from every song you do is so awesome. Your playing is inspirational.
No, its BREATHTAKING! Get it right brah
@@dredwick It is also that. Just gasped in my first breath since I typed that comment, so you are spot on!!!
@@incognito7039 Exactly! It is the most breathtaking music I have ever heard! And this is 2023, thousands of years since music was invented.... and this is by far the BEST music that has ever been created!!!
@@dredwick Couldn't agree more
@@incognito7039 Nobody can!
This gave me actual chills. I would love to see what you could do with the rest of the song. Full version PLEASE.
That was transcending and trully magical. Award winning. You Sir are just like your performances... loved every second and note.
This is by far the most beautiful piece you've made so far
On the original, I always love the last part of this song from 1:58, it brings up emotions that if I were to try to put into words, I would use such ones like realization, acceptance, even resignation. I feel like the fretless bass and your playing kinda accentuates that even more.
Thanks! The way you expressively slid the vocals while keeping the melody solid, plus your mad tapping and harmonics and and and...
Every time I think you can't impress and amaze me anymore... Here you are again. That sounded awesome 🔥
the level of musicianship is stunning. amazing.
When it started cried on how beautifuly good this is.. Thank you for bringing back my childhood band..
I’ve been a subscriber for a long while and it’s still impressive when you drop something like this. Amazing sound. Absolutely beautiful.
Charles your work is amazing if been a fan of you for three years and you take bass to the next level. I look up to you. Thank you Charles ❤
Charles, it's not the piece, that sounds breathtaking, it's your playing, listening to which feels absolutely unmatched! Thank you so much for your enormous work and dedication to music! You're my biggest inspiration!
No, its HIS EXISTANCE that is breathtaking! (and his uploading skills) Whenever I see a UA-camr who can upload files with such breathtaking skill, it makes me sit back and say "wow, this is breathtaking on so many levels".... the recording, the playing, the instrument, his hair, the time it took to upload the video and the succession of the keystrokes.... all of it is taking my breathe away!
10000+ hours of practice will not make you as good as Charles. This guy is the final boss' boss!
But...that's...exactly...what...he did.
Yes, but did he train so hard his hair fell out?
that is sad i am out chirch. it was nice time, where i play bass guitar. now i am didnt remember anything :) where is B, C, F... all is gone. my Musima 1655B is sadly stands in the corner, covered with a sack.
That's because Charles practices billions of hours.
@@SeregaKassatkin О, Музима. Только вчера смотрел в объявлениях, что из бас-гитар сейчас из самого недорогого. Так Музима недешево попадалась... но странно, "б.у. японец", да и "корейцы" и некоторые китайские басы посовременнее должны давать не меньше, а больше (комфорта, так сказать, да звука). Видимо еще и фактор ностальгии работает.
Thanks a lot. The transition to the final is wonderful.
Amazingly beautiful Charles great job!!
Moved to tears. You are a true musician.
I am old enough a man and a Queen fan to have seen Freddie sing this song live on several occasions. I never went to see Queen with other singers (of course they were right to continue their band but I just couldn't t take it)... your piece is a tribute to the world behind the song. Thank you Charles.
thank you charles for that amazing video!
Basstastic and amazing musicality. Your progress over the years is wonderful to listen to. No more overdoing it and just sounds great
I don't think that is anything that Charles can't play. Truly Amazing musician of our time.❤
I dearly wish Freddy Mercury could hear this!
It is simultaneously an unmistakably loving homage and a brilliant interpretation/adaptation.
You outdid yourself, and without flashy bass-hero techniques. 🤩
You honestly never cease to amaze me.
Breathtaking! Nice one Charles! Happy Easter
Amazing, it gave it a really magical and mysterious vibe... Keep doing what you're doing!
I think this will become one of your most popular videos. It's such a beautiful song and then you somehow make it even more beautiful with your fretless bass. Thanks for posting this. I'm sure I'll listen to it often.
As an avid Queen and Bass enjoyer I can confidently say that Charles has literally took the cake for me.
Sublime. Your reached deep in my soul and gave it a hug.
The smoothness is incredible! So nice as always! keep it up
Technical skill aside, this is very expressive. Congrats on a great interpretation.
fretless bass is very unique indeed. definitely used for old school video game music. the strings feel so weird due to their rubbery ness. a very fun guitar
Marvelous! It is so inspiring, being a musician myself, to see you evolve an explore different techniques and various playstyles. Keep up the good work man!
Wonderful, had tears in my eyes, one of my favorite bands for decades, I hope Queen hears it, thank you!
Bro, you may as well have been plucking my heart strings with this one! Absolutely beautiful playing!
freddie was a song writter of genius !!!
Absolutely amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Beautifully done as always Charles... loved that
As someone who has been playing fretless bass for almost 30 years, I can attest to the skill required here. Bravo, sir! :)
I think this is my favorite. It wasnt necessarily about bass thump or being a finger god, its just the pure musicality. I close my eyes listening.
You're amazing, Charles. Never change.
Piano sounding. Good stuff Charles. There's so many great musicians out there these days, but you impress me the most. And that's the truth. Very rare talent, and you are so young too. Looking forward to following your career.
FIRSTEENTH
👏🏻🥇
Amazing composition as always man, goosebumps and electricity the whole time. I loved it
Absolutely perfect, well done! Interestingly enough, I learned to drive on and later plowed snow for the Highway Dept on Berthoud Pass in Colorado !
You're a premier musician, my hat is off to you- phenomenal talent! 🤯
Charles...from one bassist to another...everything you play sounds breathtaking. Thank you sir
This was amazing!! Excellent execution and interpretation.
Your skills are beyond belief!
OUTSTANDING !!!- Thank you sir, for all your wonderful and entertaining videos - you have now officially taken bass playing to the next level
Utterly impressive and beautiful man! The harmonics part was so amazing I got the chills.
Amazing as always, and I just realized for the first time how tricky that kind of vibrato must be on a fretless instrument, so cool how you like anchor your finger in place without slipping from that spot!
As always, Charles... truly musical and inspiring... thank you!
This Is beautiful. Thank you!
Always look forward to you playing the fretless guitar you always make it sound so flawless and you just make it sound so flawless!! I would love to hear more of the fretless ..
Excellent job man. Keep it going. Been listening to your vids for a long time, and never get enough. You’ve even inspired one of my daughters to learn bass.
every time you come out with a new video I show my mom. she loves you. she doesnt know anything about technicalities or musical prowess.She just knows what she likes.. and she always makes me a great dinner when I bring you over.. thanks man, thanks for helping a young brother get some good food ha ha!! love you
Simply heartwarming!
Awesome as always!
Chills on the harmonics and that down-tune on the last note. Amazing job
Beautifully done, Charles. One of your classic fines.
Everytime I open UA-cam, I see a new song by you (Charles) and at this point, it's like needing that new complex, but beautiful melody weekly!
Amazing as always
I'm in awe, and feel very cozy. Thanks
Love when you bring out this instrument.
Charles... You are on a completely different level of Craftsmanship, artistry , professionalism, than most out there. You are a source of inspiration and a mentor for young bassists, and old to strive towards.
I love what you said about some people who might feel intimidated or feel like they will never get to 1/2 of your skill level. You made sure that they dont give in.
As a composer and Multi instrumentalist, you have inspired me as well :)
OH MY - thanks man, really needed that today!!
Wow😮 that is probably one of the best pieces I've heard from you Charles. That finish with the slides was impeccable
The genius in production and post mix is almost as amazing as the skill to play this song! Thank you, Charles!
Love your fretless bass so much
I'd love to See more of those awesome covers! Thank you❤
Fretless bass played by Charles really just takes me to a place, a place where I’m so engaged to each note. Notes Placed so carefully and precise. That is my happy place. Thank you
Phenomenal as always, Charles.
Brilliantly done👏👏
So amazing! What a cool instrument!
Great sound and well played!
Long time sub, long time listener. This hits….music is such an amazing love for me. Has been a huge part of my life.
Sometimes you hear someone play a song, and it just has so much emotion behind it, that you can’t help but be moved by it. Wow
That sounds very beautiful !!
Good job !!!
Brilliant performance as always. Your channel has inspired me to take up the bass.
Absolutely brilliant... Another amazing piece of bass guitar
Charles, you NEVER cease to amaze
Thank you Charles - beautiful! , breathtaking! Loved the tempo and the harmonics - 👏👏👏👏🎼🙏
Absolutely amazing 👏🏽
Wow! Beautifully arranged 😘👏👏👏
Love the way you tune the bass down at the end!
