Still swear you are the best bassist I’ve witnessed in my 40 years
I add in my 55
@@MrDanilop45 I add my 15
@@Musicman995 110 it is 😂
I add Davie504
@@g_fsdefinitely not
Level 11: Play Seinfeld
Please no 🤣
@@CharlesBerthoudplease yes😂
@@CharlesBerthoudwhere is the lessons
@@Literallyjustken click the 3 little dots at the top right. Click on description then the link is there.
That wasn't a real bass though...
I agree, funny noise is the hardest technique ever (I unironically don't know how to do it haha)
You push the highest strong down to the side of fretboard while rubbing string on the keyboard. When you do it fast and hard enough it makes a sound
@@cerbi2720 it's also relatively easy to do. Not necessarily easy DURING a song, but producing it isn't too difficult. I can't slap for shit and I can do the funny noise
Me, listening and watching that part for 15 minutes and feeling like John Snow!
Hardest because it’s super hard to make it sound good 😂
@@cerbi2720help I can’t seem to do it 😭is it alright to explain again a little more detailed?
Send this to your crazy Italian counterpart
DAVIE504!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Davie:sigma,bass slapper
@catronics1979 Davie 503
People say they quit when they see someone better than them, but I see it as a goal to reach. If one human can do one thing, another human can learn it.
Nobody says that
yeah don't quit there's famous bassists that only play E
visual artists keep saying it all the time@@michaelmansur6033
another human can learn it, but that doesn't mean you can, still no point in giving up though !
Yes exactly
Charles, this is one of the best uses of a YT short I've ever seen, mate. AND YOU'RE THE GOAT.
Why?
@@deeppurple5939"Goat" is short for "greatest of all time", so it's not an insult. 😂
@@perpetualbystander4516 Well!😁👍🖐️
@@perpetualbystander4516 except he's *NOT*
Oh is this a @DAVIE504 Challenge?? Oohh BASS BATTLE !!!
That's why we love the bass. I wish more people realized its potential.
so true
Anyone else stuck at level 3? Jokes aside super cool to see a piece steadily grow and introduce techniques while never loosing the flow and sounding musical.
I'm stuck at level 0.03..
Yeah level three... or like 2.8 idk. I started half a year ago though so it's fine I guess
I'd be willing to do stupid things just to get to level 3
would be nice to get my bass to sound nice at level 1
I think there’s a chance you’re the best bassist currently living
ichika nito. if you dont agree its fine but you gotta listen to that man at least once. he plays guitar too its pretty neat
@@JaggedElk ichika is a beast too. I thought he was primarily a guitarist that also slays on bass?
@@brennenconlee437 dude eats up on any string instrument swear
les claypool?
@@JaggedElkI feel like Ichika is known as a guitarist primarily though whereas Charles is a bass guy thru and thru
Lvl 10 is my favorite sound. I love when you fit it into songs.
You made my bass to sell me
you are my number one inspiration to keep practicing everyday. i love your style of writing solos.
He’s amazing
Oh good, you provided the tabs. Let me just grab my bass😂
I know right ? Good luck with that !!!
This is literally so mesmerizing
Of all the bassists that are not Italian, he is one of them
I honestly have no clue why someone wouldn’t want to play bass, it’s sounds amazing
Dude, you inspired me to pick up the bass a few months back. I started attempting slap bass but I’m still on level two. Thanks for being such an inspiration!
Easily the most naturally talented bassist I've seen in a long time!!!
Bravo, Sir...🙏🇬🇧👍
Honestly think you're the greatest bassist of our time.
and also everyone else's time
No. Davie504 i.
@@JiJk705
Bruh you're smoking something if you think Davie is a better bassist than Charles. Davie is good, really good even, but Charles is a true master.
@@joshuadelaughter7968 Stay mad.
@@joshuadelaughter7968 My opinion
You need to team up with El Estapario Siberiano. You guys would make mind melting music!
I think my favorite part of slap bass is that it makes the bass percussive on another level.
I've been watching you for a few years now and Im still constantly amazed and say WOW nearly every video 🎉
Ghost Notes are wildly important in drumming, i guess i never put it together how awesome they sound on Bass as well.
So clean
DAMN, THAT'S INCREDIBLE!!! You have skills brother, keep shredding!!!
*Insert niche Scott Pilgrim "Final Bass Boss Battle" joke reference here*
That's some sick delicious slapps and a spicy noise at the end x)
dude why does this sound like an old sonic game
I love your content man, keep it up!
bro did the melody and the rhythm and the same time... my god
your technique is very clean and your timing is immaculate. underrated for sure
Man, I could listen to you slap that bass all day
You are single handedly the biggest reason I have seen any interest in the bass. it's such a beautiful instrument and connects with me like nothing else has. Thank you
He's better when he uses BOTH hands though ;)
God I need to shut up
Come to think of it, with the tapping and stuff he could prob outplay the likes of us with ONE hand, but hey.. Some days you want Bach (Beck, even) others Sonic Youth, right? @@ItsHeartstruck
Long as you PLAY it and you FEEL it...
That funny noise made our cats wild.
I just got a bass and I can’t even think about doing this masterpiece
When you just learned the Alphabet in School, you didn't know how to write like Shakespeare either lol - practice!
Even if you get comfortable with a Sonic Youth or Sid Vicious style, and you get some nice ideas to use YOUR fingers on YOUR song.. Then its cool, right?
Charles you are so talented and i love your mind when ut comes to orchestration every composition is so beautiful creatuve and musical
This man can play all of the parts of the song with only a bass, and all of then at the same time
Dude! You’re killing it. I don’t subscribe to many channels but I couldn’t pass up your subscribe button. Amazing bass work, you’ve earned my respect! ❤
I skipped all the lower levels and went directly to lvl 10. Didnt think I would master slapping the base on the first try!
Ive been playing guitar most my life i snagged my first bass been playing for about a month i have SO MUCH TO LEARN
Truely is a joy to watch you play, keep it up mate, much love!
I love what this guy does
Ring ring, ring ring. "Hello? Yes, this is Primus."
I owe you a beer for making me laugh so much.
You are legendary
Funkiest thing I’ve heard all day thank you
LEGEND
Level 10 got me. Dude, your notes have some great power of persuasion over the emotions in my head. Super happy after hearing you play!
You are the FINAL BOSS, on the planet comprised of final bosses thru our the funky universe.
4 was very cool
No point in any more battles, everyone has surrendered!
❤ You are the best Bass player I have ever seen ❤️
Hats off , Boss ❤️🙏🙏
I like how the closed captions for this are just [Foreign Music]
The better I get at bass the more I realise how extremely talented this dude is.
Por isso que sou teu fã
Man. This song slaps
I really enjoy hearing number 3, but 7 is wild!
One of my favourite slap style bassists of all time is Fieldy from Korn
That was absolutely beautiful! You've got some tremendous versatility
Noticing how low your left hand thumb sits is very eye opening.. I get cramps in my feet hand thumb a lot. I’m gonna try this technique of yours and see how it feels.
Wow, funny noise actually really got me there 😂
That Really is Something & Thank You for Creating this vid. It's AWESOME 👌
Checkmate!
I skipped numbers 3-9 and went straight to level 10!! All the noises that come from my bass are funny when I play it.
I am amazed by the way he plays 😮
No doubt, very high level performance, stay blessed.👍👌
I got goosebumps from that, absolutely amazing
aaaand finally I heard the farewell sound of the ducklings 😂😂
You just summarised every primus song in one vídeo
We need a duo with you and El Estepario Siberiano!
ABSOLUTELY !!😮😊
The best bass player I’ve ever heard. 🔥👌
gosh I love slap bass so much
Truly outstanding….
I'm gonna comment on this video before I even watch it. I actually paused the video and haven't seen it yet. But I guarantee it is gonna be awesome. Showcasing his extreme talent. You rock, bro! I'm a guitar player and have never had the desire to learn the bass, but there are a few people who make me wanna learn it. Les Claypool, flea and you.
you’re probably literally the worlds best bassist at this point
This was actually a helpful breakdown of techniques for me
The Best bass Player I have ever seen or heard.
Laughs at the end 😂 wonderfully skilled. So clean
omg the vibes 👌 ur awesome
You are on fire!
That tone though! 🔥😅
Sounds so cool
BRO THAT WAS IMPRESSIVE!
Keep going bro
10 levels of tap bass 👍👍
THE TONNNNEEEE AHHH
Absolutely the best bass player on planet earth today bar none, this guy is simply beyond brilliant and it’s not just his technique it’s his ear and composition skills, Charles fucking Berthoud ladies and gentlemen
Damn you killed this Sir!
That was wicked keep it up my friend👍🏽
Nice skill man, nice skill 🙂
Ese movimiento del patito malo, no me lo esperaba👌😸. Fue la cereza 🍒 del pastel slapero.
If you're wondering how he does it I'll fill you in. His life since he was a child is Bass, all day, every day. You practice and study to get this good. What are you waiting for!
awesome!! I'm your big fan
im getying heavy genesis Sonic bass vibes from this. incredible
Had me double thumbing the subscribe button 🙌🙌🙌
Se é loco cachoeira
That wa ls motivational
Amazing for sure!!
I know these are short videos, but you have other short (in terms of length - approx 60 seconds) videos on the main section of youtube.
I'd love to see these on there as I try to avoid shorts if I can help it.
Great playing as always.
WE’RE GONNA FINALLY GET TO PLAY A SOLO WITH THIS ONE BOYS 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
Les Claypool and Primus joins in the chat together:
Okay boys let's teach them why my name is mud!!
This dude and el Estapario need to collab so bad
I second this!
You the man...I've been playing since b4 you were born...how? How are you so good?
