Correct me if im wrong, but Better Help has been known to take advantage of their already vulnerable customers and provide little to no actual assistance and "therapists" who charge and who aren't even certified. A lot of other people have pulled out their better help ads and for good reason, and I think that you should look into that. Loved the song by the way!
only missing a singer from this actually being on the air. This was really good, Maybe Miley Kennedy on vocals
you should do a collab with Catarinth, he's insane and you guys could definitely make something sick 😎 much love brother
I can't say how much I've missed therapy with Davie504
I feel like you’re the kind of person who would love the band Dianogah
I need a whole album of prog metal from you Charles! This is absolutely top notch!
It does remind a bit of Dream Theatre doesn't it?
I have more coming!!
Like smashed
@@CharlesBerthoudI can feel the hype bursting inside of me!
Seriously. I listen to the doom soundtrack on repeat half the days im doing technical work. Id swap this in in a heartbeat.
Slap and Metal can go together so seamlessly. Love to see you showing the process of you coming up with your brilliant compositions. Cheers
There are some metal bassists who slap but I'm surprised it's not more... Metal is so rhythmic that slap seems like a natural choice and it adds a whole new level of aggression
Good example is Dig by Mudvayne
@@CharlesBerthoud Yeah! There really is a groovy complex at its core
@@ETOL17 For sure!
@@CharlesBerthoud Probably because it's so much easier to use finger technique, not everyone is as skilled as you Charles haha
I used to be a fan, but after hearing this masterpiece, I'm a goddam blast furnace!!!
Fantastic work as always, Charles
Amazing! *Puts iron inside
This man made me a wind turbine
Hell man. That was killer. Would be a shame that this track will not end on Spotify.
Good news sir it is on Spotify under the name of Assimilate
@@tsardean9192 well thank you. I wouldn't know.
@@tsardean9192 Not all heroes wear capes. Thanks for this!
The therapy with Davie bit had me rolling, best BetterHelp plug I've seen 😆🤣🤣
Positively evil! Devilishly creative! This was absolutely sick, Charles.
delightfully devilish, seymour!
As a hardcore metalhead, I loved this a little more than usual. 🤘
Been listening for years. You've always been amazing, but I think your recent stuff has been more soulful and moving. Every separate part of this song has great feeling. Together, they create a masterpiece. Loved it.
That was one of the best metal riff videos I've ever seen. Truly amazing, Charles!
Thanks!!
sounds pretty Dream Theaterish)@@CharlesBerthoud
my fave jason quote lol
This is something DT would write during Train of Thought era. Outstanding composition and arrangement❤️
For sure.. very similar in sound to oldschool Dream Theater
Dude... That was sick as hell, that main riff was killer. I listened to this 2 times before I could post cause I had to hear the song again hahah.
Honestly I could listen to, and buy a whole album of this.
I'm a huge fan of progressive metal/death metal, and I think a bass forword/focused project from you would be so cool. Also the songs wouldn't have to be so short cause it wouldn't be a UA-cam video. 😂 Cheers! 🇨🇦
CHARLES. That was a spicy tip on matching the kick with accents from the bass line. Thank you for that. Your fade to black 5 string is beautiful.
Yeah that's a great place to start and works vice versa too. If you're stuck writing a bass line to go with a drum groove, start by playing notes with the kick, then add / subtract from there!
Casually having Davie504 in your video, gigachad.
This was absolutely killer, filthy tone while being very tastefully arranged. Need the album, bro ❤️ 🤘🏻
I would love to have a full album of this please. I will buy it now.
I love how Phrygian scale sounds great both in riffs (make them sound omnios) and in solos (add an addictive eastern taste).
Moreover, it's great to see the process of making this piece
You are true gigachad of bass
I record a lot of psytrancey stuff and use Phrygian scale a lot. It doesn't sound evil to me but mysterious and ancient. Oh and metal guitar fits really well in this genre.
Have you ever heard Dominic "forest" Lapointe? He's a metal bassist with a band First Fragment formerly of Beyond Creation. I think you'd get a kick out of hearing his fretless bass technique if you haven't. Cheers Charles, this was cool af.
The bass work of Dominic "forest" Lapointe is insane! I would love to see Charles make a song based on Dominic's style!
That man is otherworldly. Fucking love Forest
You gotta make a full album with this style and perhaps with lyrics too. Seriously love this!
This is a masterpiece, we need a full album 💿 Charles, greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽
I'm loving these new style of videos! Keep making content. You are an inspiration to me and so many other bassists around the world!
Really enjoy having more of an exploration of your process and the way you think through your compositions. And it builds more anticipation leading up to hearing the full song. Great video!
This new format is great, makes me appreciate your music even more than before.
I love that you're showing us more behind the scenes, it's interesting to know how you actually go about composing these epic pieces!
I know you just launched a new channel, but I'd love to see more behind-the-scenes of how you write original music and make arrangements and covers since I really like your style!
This was amazing! Really upped your metal understanding and production in comparison to your older metal pieces (which were musically amazing as well of course)
Amazing composition, i love you :)
Thank you Sir Charles, for your tremendous artistry and for helping the evolution of the bass reach new levels of excellence. Incredible!
That Schecter sounds amazing. Fishman on bass is something I rarely see. I am a Bartolini man myself but dang, I need to try those fluence. Also love the piccolo bass XD
This is something I would add to my playlist, show my family, and listen to on repeat, thank you for creating ANOTHER masterpiece Charles.
Charles, you are too good, and I just want to thank you for how good your compositions are. They are spectacular, and aspect of them is underappreciated
I'd pay for an instrumental album like this.
This new video type where you explain what goes into the creative process is so cool! Keep it up, I love it!
A whole album of this please.
The new concept of your video is just amazing 👏👏👏
Amazing as always! I always love it when you do metal stuff. It would be epic to see you cover a Meshuggah song, like Dancers to a Discordant System or They Move Below (or perhaps one of those audition videos for them!) Keep slappin’, bass brother!
This was an awesome video, Charles! It was great to see a quick insight in your production and how you write your music!
This song reminded me of "Gates of Babylon" by Rainbow for some reason, which is nice because that is a great track as well! :D
First time I've listened to that, gotta say it was awesome. Need a full album of this type of thing, it'd be amazing
All your videos are bangers. Seriously man you’re setting the bar so high for technical and creative ability all while remaining down to earth and entertaining. Thanks for the jam!
I’ve been playing the bass for about 3 months and this just makes me even more motivated to keep learning💀
I love these vids where you talk through the development process
PLEASE PLEASE more videos like this where you educate us musicians. I know you're good at bass. I know you can make a music video and will continue to, but this shit is just awesome. seeing the PROCESS. It's even cool for non musicians too i'm assuming because of all the great edits. Keep it up!
Yup, very much cool for me as a non-musician. I like seeing all the pieces that go together to make the music!
Charles Berthoud inspired me to post my compositions on youtube and even today I watch his videos with admiration.
So thank you very much Charles and continue your videos, it's amazing...
Incredible!! That time is killer. Absolutely love the tapping melody.
There simply aren't words to describe your talent!
These videos breaking down how you put the songs together are a great insight into your creative mind! Love them. Thanks for sharing mate!
im very excited by the new direction of the channel. i love these like half tutorial half entertaining videos
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING AND UNBELIEVABLE BROTHER !!!! YOUR TIMING IS IMPECCABLE AND YOUR TECHNIQUES ARE SO WELL EXECUTED !! YOU ARE TRULY AN ELITE PLAYER IN THE WORLD OF BASS GUITAR MY FRIEND !!!!
Have a contest to see who can do the best vocals or screams over this.
This song really reminded me of the Newstead pieces in Metallica with how bass forward it was.
In all seriousness, that was phenomenal and I'd love to hear a full album of that.
I've been following you regularly for about a year or so now Charles, and I just gotta say as amazing as you are on the bass, I think your overall musicianship and song writing is just as good, of not even better. I've been checking out your tunes on Spotify, and it really is some of the best bass feature instrumental stuff there is, as far as your arrangements and melodies and whatnot. In those aspects I'd seriously put your stuff right up there with the solo stuff from Victor Wooten, Stu Hamm, or any of the other big names who do this kind of stuff. And on a side note, your videos have made chuckle more than once too, so overall keep doing what you're doing!
This was great! I loved being able to see how you put it together but in a fun comedic way
Therapy with Davie 🤣🤣🤣
After hearing this composition I'm adamant that you should do some Dream Theater covers at some point. I truly enjoy the creativity you apply when creating not just originals but also how you make covers your own. Keep up the amazing work
He played the rag time solo from Dance of Eternity on bass.
It's more of a Symphony X style.
I was just thinking this had strong Dream Theater energy!
Thanks for explaining your thought process at the beginning!
This creation is sublime without a doubt, as many say and I agree. An album with this song and all the ones you add would be epic. The audience is already full waiting!! Force!!
Can you do a neo-classical metal piece, combining your beautiful metal bass playing and composition skills with your already awesome classical bass play?
The world needs a metal band with you on bass
A Jewish metal band with that choice of Phrygian Dominant.
that moment when you realize you have asked a musician for a playthrough, and yet the did it a month ago..........
Charles this one is BY FAR my favorite thing you have composed! it SOOO HEAVY!!!!!
no homo but it makes me eggs tingle
I love how you listen to your audience. I saw lots of comments saying how good the Schecter 5-string sounded a few videos back, and now it’s in every single one! Just shows what a great guy you are Charles
Dude, there is simply no stile of music that Charles can't do!👏 It's just so inspiring!🤩
YES! Absolutely right!
I have a lot of awesome Bass players including you Charles, Henrick I hope spelled right, Davie 504, and many others including the biggest names in the music industry. You all make look so easy. I grew up in music starting playing drums throughout my school years, and my mom bought my very first guitar one Christmas which made her much happier without all the banging. All throughout my military service I was both here and there but I never really got a single instrument to lock on I always had something that would keep me into music so I brought my MIDI keyboard and went on get back into music when I was disabled. I don't have instruments at all but Bass is my new thing and watch so many bass players now it's crazy. Thank you, Charles, for sharing your hard work with us all. Cheers.
Yes! Charles, yes. This is the kind of content I want to see from you. Longer format (but not too long), and original stuff that won't get copyright struck. This was EPIC!
Maan this is some progressive metal evil crazy tune, i feel the mash between porcupine tree and steven wilson single project 😮😮😮 your talent is really amazing and how flexible you are in writing music. Always so fun to watch you bro
Prince of Persia : Sands of bass
I can totally this in the shred collab this year. Cant wait
Love this format
Charles is a master of music. I like how he doesn't waste my time trying to do funny memes. It's all about that bass with this guy.
This slaps hard
I really like the format where you sorta take us through the writing process, was super cool to see!
You are a beast on that bass man!…hard work done joyfully- persevering paid off!!
That Davie session was epic
Absolutely brilliant. You are a great musician & thank you for the great videos 🤘🤘
2:28 Can’t help hearing a bit of ABBA, voulez-vous hear and there. But still brilliant and a pure joy to listen to.
Your work is so cool!!! Amazing music.
Thank you so much for showing your process. Your talent is next level
It reminds me "conquering distopia". And I like it a lot . Thanks for this job!
Great editing through the composition, and for the playing… you are a master sir.
The melody in the intro is awesome! Everything is awesome, but the melody really stands out for me and they way you build up on it!
Just awesome, as always!!
Great stuff Charles!! You’re amazing
@CharlesBerthoud, your music lifts me up. Thanks for your choice of sponsor. Days are dark.
That was amazing. Really good!
Excellent! You’re so inspiring!
Way Cool ❤ Eagerly awaiting the Album 😅👍
This was amazing. Thx for inspiration.
Amazing work as always Charles, the main riff reminded me a little of "poetry for the poisoned" by kamelot.
Sounds awesome. Great job
That's my favorite so far!!! Awesome!
Seriously tho your bass lines..always give me chills..ty ❤
Great as always!
Pretty neat being shown the how the music comes together
I could listen to this all day. This is gonna be my next zombie slaying track when I get back down in 7 days to die. That ending with David doing therapy had me laughing my ass off at work 😂
You are so good ! Thx
My favorite Scale and nice play as always :)
4:00 Gotta have that Charles Berthoud signature two tap!
God damn. I had alot of bass heroes when I was younger, but over the last few years I’ve realized you are the best. UA-cam videos are probably the money maker but you need to do side projects to get into the zeitgeist of popular music so you can be remembered by everyone, not just the musicians.
I've been a guitarist for decades and this video made me switch to bass. You're an amazing bassist Charles.
I want that bass next to the schecter in the background the all wood grain one it so pretty
Full metal album please! Any vocalist would be stoked to feature on your songs.
