This man's wisdom at not overcomplicating the BASSMILL section even though these types of videos are supposed to get more complicated as they go is *sublime.* A wise man knows he cannot improve upon perfection, and that any attempt to do so will only detract from it.
I think the most underrated part of his talent is just how incredible of a composer he is. Don't let his immaculate technique and performance skills overshadow the fact that this man is taking other people's music and using it as a blueprint to then create new works of music that raise it to higher levels of technique composition and emotional depths than where it started. It's amazing.
I feel like Charles is similar to Paul Gilbert. His skills are...insane. His technique, his ability, and toolbox, how many genres he plays. Bananas, right? But people forget he's a musical genius. He's not JUST an insane player. He has a mind boggling understanding of the language of music. And people forget, because God dammit when he goes ham, it's mesmerizing.
As a former, really bad guitarist, and I say this from only love to all instruments... Bass is my favourite child and I'm only taking the bass to the amusement park OvO
This song started as Feel Good inc and transcended into some sort of next level track that reminded me of the weather channel for some reason. I am confused yet pleased. Great job!
"What instrument do you play?" "Oh... me? I play instrument." "Yeah, but which instrument is that?" "It makes music." "Okay... what sound does it make?" "... ALL OF THEM!"
00:55 I swear this is one of the most chill, peaceful and feel good melodies I've heard in popular music :x So, sooo good, I like to watch this video over and over again because of this part. And because of Charles's skill, but this is no surprise.
God I love this arrangement. It sounds difficult to play, but it keeps the sound super chill instead of just being all over the place like most “impossible” covers are. That, in my mind, shows true mastery of your craft! I’d love to put this on my spotify playlists!!
You and Davie504 realy makes the bass look like one of the most versatile instruments. This level of deception requires an incredible level at playing. Love your songs!
I have been a marketing rep for an amplifier business for around 2 years now, and it is becoming very clear to me the real musicians have all but abandoned the mainstream, and have gone entirely independent. I am glad to have discovered you, among folks like Too Many Zooz, Tim Pierce Guitar, Davey504, and many others who are actually passing the love down to future generations, mostly for the sake of quality music and entertainment.
My church lost a bassist, I’m a guitarist so I jumped in and have been playing for the last few months. I’m absolutely loving it. I aint this good, but getting better every week. Actually starting to sound a little bit like a bassist instead of a guitarist playing bass! Love it, my man. Keep it up and I’ll keep watching! God bless
i stopped there, because i'm tired of hearing those bs vpn ads. i mean yeah, it hides your IP/location and may help with streaming blocked content, but it doesn't help you with password security or spam e-mails or whatever other selling points they bring up are mostly bs tbh.
Wigs are parasites that attach themselves to your head and mind control you to let yourself be eaten by a sheep. Making you like a video is child’s play in comparison and the likely first step in getting you to agree to be eaten by a sheep.
I remember dad my grandpa used to play the tea bag... his instrument wastn’t reconigzed but now I’m happy that many persons want to learn this amazing instrument, it might be hard but the results are just incredible 🤧🤩🥳
I remember I used to think back when I was a teenager (and this was quite awhile ago) "what's even the point of bass anyway, we can't even hear it". Then I bought californication. You gotta love a well played bass like in this cover.
It's easy to think that bass sucks when most bassists suck. But there are many bands where their bassists do an amazing job, and aren't just the backing for the guitar.
Great version. I think the song is one of the best written. The original composition made all the instruments sound like a conversation of voices, so cool, you kept the feeling in your version 🤗!
It takes a lot of skill to cover a song and have it sound exactly like the original....and that much more to reinvent it in a way that's better. Well done!
Thank you Charles for turning one of my favorite songs into a musical fantasy! I enjoy listening to you play. Listening to music is such a passion of mine. It wasn't until my late 20's that I learned how to play an instrument, the drums (I'm now 59). I appreciate you and all your hard work to create and inspire others. God bless!!!
That’s the best advertising idea I’ve seen. Kept me watching just to hear the song! Now I’m about to dig through many more of your videos. You too are a hero my friend!
Good lord. I actually jammed to this video and not a lot of videos do that to me. Hats off to you doing this with nothing but the Bass, it was sick as hell
You gotta level up your attention span, holmes. Watching whole videos is where it’s at. Unless it’s one of those Gen Z Try Not To Laugh videos that’s a half hour long. Then you can shut it off whenever.
Charles, I love your playing, but for this one, the arrangement stole the show. The breakdown section you layered up with the various bass parts is gorgeous. Thanks for another great piece.
okay number 10 is easily the hardest here. I can't even say literally a few words if I'm even just holding whole notes. It could be my most rehearsed simplest bassline ever. I could be playing god damned smoke on the water but if I try and talk I either sound like it causes me physical pain to speak, or I somehow fuck up the EASIEST bassline in the world. props.
For the first 1.5 mins I thought “Interesting, the 1st bass ASMR video” (more tea bass). Excellent playing as always and great hair (at 4:07 and the black wig). Thanks Charles.
Just realized it's been at least 3 months I haven't visited Davie's channel. I don't miss it at all. Charles performances are all the bass I need in my life.
I discovered you fairly recently and can't stop watching your videos, I'm autistic so when I get into something I'm obssed and I've listened to this genuinely over 100 times this month its on repeat on the way to work on the way home and when I get home my partner hates me, your shear skill has me wanting to buy a bass soon as I can afford one, if I could pick a song for next you should do bohemian like you one of the all time greats! Keep up the great content man I love your work
I'm seriously digging these where you start with a famous "pop bass song" then just keep riffing on them. Any chance we'll ever see one of these from guys like Jamerson, Watts, or maybe Bootsy?
There was a dad who wanted his son to play an instrument. His son said, "I want to play bass!" "Great," said dad. The next day, dad went out and bought a bass, combo speaker/amp, and found an instructor, who he paid for ten lessons with. Excited, son goes off to his first lesson. A week later, the instructor calls dad. "Hey, is everything okay? Your son hasn't returned for any other lessons after we had his first." Dad answered, "Weird. He has been practicing. Let me go ask." He finds his son in his room going over scales. "Hey, son. Your instructor called. He said you only went to one lesson. I paid for ten. Was there a problem? I wanted you to learn an instrument." "But, dad! I got a gig!"
Still by far my favourite of your cover songs. I've always loved this song, but Charles giving it the Twinings tea treatment is just next level. An inspiration as always!
Which song next? 👇🏻
Neon by John mayer pls charles..live in L.a version.😎
Mama’s Gun by Glass Animals?
Dont start now by Dua Lipa
come as You are de popovana
Cant stop
This wants me to finally start playing the tea bag.
That was soooo British, lol
Its hard to practice no ! When i see his hand move i say to myself to i can't learn this....
Does anybody have the Teabag Tab for this?
A great way for beginners to learn how to tea bag is Call of Duty, it’s where I started and ever since, I’ve been bagging like a pro

Yeah he’s a master at innovating and adding to songs while also respecting them for the masterpieces they are
He respected the song’s breakdown. Now we respect him.

Absolutely agree. It seems many see the surface level (the musical talent) and pay no mind to the composition and all that goes into. It's sad really.
Well... Yeah.
He knows his music theory.
As a guitarist, I will say the forbidden words: "Bass is actually kinda cool."
As a former and remaining guitarist. I say bass is one of the best things ever.
as a bassist bass is pretty cool
FEED US WITH MORE COMPLIMENTS DEAR GOD
If i was playing like this bass would be the coolest instrument for me
As a former, really bad guitarist, and I say this from only love to all instruments... Bass is my favourite child and I'm only taking the bass to the amusement park OvO
Bass is the soul of the music, without it there’s no sauce involved
Rip all classical music pieces played and written on only piano
@@daanportzgen1260 lol ikr, my mistake there 🫠
@@daanportzgen1260 actually they had bass, it was just hidden in the piano, which infact goes deeper than any bass in the low notes
Piano is just big fancy bass anyway
It’s called the left hand side of the keyboard, all bass, Every single key.
This song started as Feel Good inc and transcended into some sort of next level track that reminded me of the weather channel for some reason. I am confused yet pleased. Great job!
Nobody:
The news channel while literally nothing is happening:
Weatherscan track 3 vibes
pat why are you so right
perhaps you mean...

Dude you should definitely be making an album or something of all your covers and put it on Spotify
Yes! He has improved so much in the last couple years. His covers and compositions could fill a few glorious albums
Please please
The most impressive part of this video is when he is doing the sponsor ship while playing music
i think so too.
Andò the song WAS impressive
what song was he playing?
Same it got me to watch the whole sponsorship
I watched it all..
His sponsorship promos are the only ones that actually make want to try out the sponsors.....
That high pitched noise from the bass head is an insane choice
Honestly, I listened the whole NordVPN thing just to hear him play Resurrection, it's such a beautiful piece

You make bassists either quit bass or practice more.
Choose practice!
@@CharlesBerthoud i did lol
@@CharlesBerthoud I had to add two more strings to play better.
Even when the think they quit, they are still technically practicing there rests
@@CharlesBerthoud 40 hours a day!

0:55 to 1:20 is heavenly to listen.
I watched the ad just because I was so amazed you could play while doing that. One of my favorite songs and you gave it new life thank you.
I just realised there is other bassists than davie504
Oh Em Gee!
Check out Tommy Lee Depp as well then.
Not true, he is just an appendage of davie's hivemind.
my fave bassist is Jeff Schmidt :)
There’s also Davide Biale
Just realized that part 6 is De La Soul's part. Impressive ! This proved that Damon Albarn is a genius, and so are you, Mr. Berthoud. Bravo.
You ultimately did great. You got a beautiful rain texture to the song.

At this point, I just know I can like the video then proceed to enjoy.

1:51 Picked this line out. Can't wait to work on the next one that really stands out to me. So much technique in here that is actually practical.

This is the way
An excellent choice in tea, Twinning’s Earl Grey is fantastic 3:04
After this flawless performance, I might as well just throw away my teabag.
Earl Grey is good but Darjeeling will give you a better sound
Edit: thanks for the replies you guys are still making me laugh
I prefer green tea since it gives you that crisp sound, jasmine tea could work too but it would be used in more mellow songs
I think we all agree that chamomile will give you the cleanest sound
@@brazilbagel444 Chamomile is a really good tea for beginners! Very consistent tone. But I prefer Oolong
Not to brag but I can read loose leaf, and I didn’t even go to school for it.

whenever someone does something like this, I always like to imagine he actually recorded himself rubbing tea against a guitar for 4 minutes
