That drummer was incredible, I'm a drummer of 30 years and the things he is doing is pretty damn hard..... A whole lot of things going on there. GREAT JOB TO EVERYONE HERE. 🎶MUSIC IS LIFE🎶❤️
Weird, i'm no drummer but i've always been good at that.. But then again, i've most likely been playing with metronome... I've seen two drummers get better with click tracks, getting better at keeping tempo even without them. Both were good before but after they were solid like a clock and groove became more natural, less thinking seemed to be involved.
Considering those really long silent runs towards the end, it would honestly be impressive enough if he'd just been doing a repetitive beat. But to be basically soloing through that thing still on keeping perfect time was siiiiiiick
That last bass bit was one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever heard on a bass. If you don't finish composing that, you're depriving the world of an amazing piece.
Felix Martin is a Venezuelan musician. When Steve Vai came to Venezuela, Felix opened the show for him. I went to that concert, so I had a night filled with pure Felix Martin and Steve Vai's awesomeness. Best concert ever. By the way, Steve was blown away with Felix's playing.
That last original was one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard in my 57 yrs. on this earth. Please turn it into a full song. Thank you 🙏
He wasn't "perfect" and I am being *really* picky, there were maybe two spots he got a fraction of a beat behind, but it was still incredible af. For someone to play such complex rhythms for as long as he did and only drop a fraction of a beat is simply amazing.
@@utha2665 yeah not totally perfect but it was so close tho sooo close, and still very impressive, I’m a “beginner” t can’t bear to admit how long I played for, but I tend to speed up when I get excited 🥲
beautiful playing at the end my friend. Tonally deep and pure, very resonant and nice departure from the addictive drive so many have to play lightening fast as if the instrument were meant to be a machine gun. Do much more of this. Find an aesthetic in silence between notes and in the richness of single notes and deliberate harmonies.
Love the original! I had chills when the higher melody kicked in around 6:56. Excited to hear the finished song. What really sets you apart from other top musicians (in my opinion) is how you manage to maintain beautiful melody, no matter which technique you're using. It really feels like every note is well thought out :)
The combination of pure talent and masters level craftmanship brought tears to my eyes in both of the first two "battle" partners. This - also - is, what our time and age makes possible, through the internet. That couldn't happen 20 years ago. People wouldn't find each other, very few people would know Charles and so on. Don't let this being taken from us.
Isn’t it brilliant?! And for the up-and-comers to be exposed to so much mastery like this online - the playing, the collabs, the creativity, the musicianship - all of it will allow so many more people to reach their potential. Ps: aren’t they so young, some of them??!
Your original is so melodic and harmonic.....I LOVE IT! Complete it please! And as a drummer myself,the drummer you presented is JAWDROPPING!!....I still have to learn even if I already know much!
Amazing musicians all of you! I'm 58 and am just amazed by your generation taking music further than where you found it! The drummer, WOW!! Amazing timing. I agree "the human metronome"! The music industry can be brutal on musicians that don't know the business side of what you are doing. Have fun while you climb to stardom but make sure you can trust your management/Accountant, been there. I know that every generation thinks that the next music is something they don't understand or like and condemn it but I, as a musician understand what you are doing. The first guitar player I saw on youtube of your generation was Tosin Abasi! Google spell check doesn't even recognize his name yet? He watched all the 80's videos VHS that I watched and I never pulled from them like he did. I kept looking into "Animals as Leaders" and eventually found Charles Berthoud! I'm not a bass player but he has a great channel regardless of what instrument you play. I love your channel even as an old school guitar player from the 80's, you boys keep up the innovative creativity. You all are the future of some kid sitting in his room that will eventually make you go "WOW" like you did me. Good luck on your careers all of you!! LOVE IT!!!!
YOU GOTTA LENGTHEN THAT FIRST TUNE WITH FELIX AND RELEASE IT, MAH BOY! I, AND I'M SURE EVERYONE ELSE, WAS WAITING FOR IT TO GO INTO A WHOLE NEW PART! DOOOO EEEEEET!! Drummer was killer, too! Original at the end nice, too!
The tones of the first guy so perfectly complimented...sergut. for the 2nd one, fujita sounded so deep in the pocket he came up with lint. and omg, that drummer's fills matching up was like him saying 'Oh please...'
It is, and you are, one of the main sources of "happy" in my musical world. I've worked on the instruments of very well known guys & gals, and I thought I had a frame of reference, until you went beyond it. Yes; finish it. Please
I love this. Tapping the base really hits a nerve. There's something ethereal, surreal about the athmosphere when you hear that. The harsh slapping turn into some beautiful melody ... I t's uplifiting, like seeing our rotten world suddenly turn into a meadow of flowers ..
I think my favorite duo here was the excellent bass playing alongside Brandon Davis' drums. I would love to see you two work together on a full composition. As for the unfinished song at the end, it made me think of a cloaked figure walking through a rainy forest, and I can't imagine that finishing the song would be anything but great. Keep it up, Charles!
Start writing full songs, and work with some of these UA-cam artists and make some new music for the future. This world needs people like you to make it different.
Excuse, please, my broken english... Your last piece : I found it very nice : a subtle blend of melody, harmony which is original. No excessive repetition neither following unlinked themes, no predominant style : jazz/rock/classical but a kind of magical presence of all of them, toghether. One thing, only one thing : too short ! I would have liked listen it durings hours. Thank you for what you bring us.
I loved the play on Victor Wooten's The Message in the first part of the Felix Martin session. Exceptional work by both you, Charles, and Felix! Bravo!
This original piece which you have composed is totally exquisite absolutely exquisite love it I hope to hear more of this this room is reminiscent of the early days of Brian Bromberg and some of the other greats you're bringing such grace and elegance to the base please keep going back you make me feel good when I hear you
All of you guys were jaw-dropping awesome! I'm a bass player and can't even begin to do all the things that you do. And I've been playing for over 40 years! But it's good to see young people like yourselves still actually playing real instruments and take it up many levels, as opposed to people who call themselves artists and use samples and loop machines! Keep real music alive!
Your original is just extremely beautiful, it is a mix of eolian and dorian at the beginning if I'm not mistaken? Love the kinda medieval sound to it. And I just wanted to add that I think your channel is really one of the best in terms of music content nowadays. Thanks for bringing us your content.
The whole thing was fun, but I'd buy an album full of the stuff you and Felix did together in your first battle. The Drums on Guitar section was amazing!
I loved your original! Gave me some classic final fantasy vibes and I totally dig it! Please make it a full song, I'd love to hear the finished project. 🙏
All musicians did really wonderfully amazing plays... whoa that drummer About your original, of course you have to develop it into a full original piece... if promises are kept it will be delicious 🎸
7 dislikes at the time of writing. I just don't get it. Fantastic musicians, fantastic music, fun challenges...what's there not to like? This stuff just makes me happy. As for your original, definitely push on. I love it. It starts off Celtic though it doesn't remain so. Unrelated, but I would love to see your take on how bass can enhance a Celtic sound. Thank you and greetz from France.
There are always haters. I recently had to comment on a meat chefs video, where a vegetarian was moaning that he was a bad person because he was a bad person for butchering the dead animal and using all the parts of the animal in his recipes. She had no real reason to be watching this particular video, but still felt she should hate and comment. At the end of the day I look at the ration of likes to dislikes. 100:1 seems to be the average. This one has over 200:1, therefore it’s a popular video and the haters are still going to be there, just in lesser numbers per view.
Loved the video. Your original left me with a "melancholic tavern feeling", sitting alone, thinking about times long gone, or maybe just the feeling of being alone in a place that's usually filled with people, talk and laughter. Would love to hear the finished piece :)
Amazing sounds from end to end. And I thought slap violin would just be a bad joke, but this guy can really do it. The new original sounds like a really good introduction to a much larger, more powerful idea. What it is, I cannot say, but it's lurking out there somewhere.
@@igorleeck2027 if you listen on your mobile phone, you'll hear about 30% of it all. The difference between a proper set up or some hurrdurr 6 hungos and the mobile phone speaker is huge. That's probably where the issue lies.
My brother, you are an inspiration for this old washed up bass player. Thank you for doing what you do! Your passion for bass is rocket fuel for me and others like me.
The original is beautiful reminds me little kiss from a rose by seal. Definitely continue and let's see where it goes. I love your tapping technique it's amazing.
I seen Kansas live it was amazing show. The violinist or fiddlest whatever you want to call him came out with a bass violin it was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen in my life. And saying I seen Kansas live kind of puts an age to me lol 😹
Your original track was my favorite thing in this video. Full of emotional and beautiful harmony. I could listen to that all day and never get tired. Keep up the creative beauty my friend.
I would love to see you on a Chapman Stick. I’m sure that you could do wonders on one. Who knows, maybe you already play one. Your playing style would adapt to a Stick easily, as they are played mostly by tapping, and you are already a master at tapping the bass. BTW, you absolutely should finish out this composition and bless your fans with a performance of the completed version. YOU DAH MAN ! ! !
@@David-qn9wu Point taken David. I also would like to HEAR Charles play a Chapman Stick as well as watch him on the Tube. He is such a phenomenal musician, and just the other day I watched him play a guitar as well as he plays the bass. He shredded it into ity bity pieces. I’m almost sure I saw smoke rising from the fretboard and sparks coming from his fingers. CRAZY 😜
You should definitely turn that into an original. It actually reminds me of Eddie Van Halen and some of the live footage of his solos with a little folk to it.
@@CharlesBerthoud I feel like a cool name would be something like “A new hope”. It feels like the guy from “The last ride” gave himself another chance or something like that. I don’t know if you’re open to suggestions but that would be mine. You are extremely talented and I really think you should turn this into a full original!
@@titaniumdenight5501 nice name, but the only problem is a lot of people will think it’s a Star Wars cover 😭 something similar could work though, thanks for the suggestion!
The original? HELL YEAH! ! ! ! ! KEEP GOING! ! ! ! It's sort of spacey, kind of smooth jazzy, perhaps a little movie sound tracky and very much sounds like it's telling a story. It's also seems to be trying to dovetail into my mind. I love the flow of it.
My 19 year old just shared this with me. And thank goodness it was not a moment later. I am obsessed. I just got here. So. I don't know what to tell you to do with this piece. But. I'm about to watch everything you have ever posted.
That last bit where you wonder if you shold make, or complete as an original. What an IDOTIC question!!!! It's a no-brainer. That was heavenly beautiful........ YES PLEASE!!!!!!!!!
What did you think of the new original so far? 👇🏻
Very nice. Do more.
... Finish that one, and when you're done, to more again.
Me like Monke
Amazing as always Charles!
Deserves a big finish!
very beautiful
i want a full version
Thanks for having me tapping brother!
You are great 👍🏻
That was awesome stuff
I was absolutely dumbstruck watching your performance
Come back to Denver soon! Love your work.

I've seen two drummers get better with click tracks, getting better at keeping tempo even without them. Both were good before but after they were solid like a clock and groove became more natural, less thinking seemed to be involved.
He could be using a click/metronome separate and just removing it from the finalized audio
@@arkeeper Naw… what would be the point.
@@omegalamda3145 make it sound good and on beat
@@arkeeper he was off a couple times on the last 2 clicks so...i dont think he was cheating.
The original was dope as hell, definitely should become a full song.
It has a great mid evil fantasy vibe imo.
Please continue !
The very first in the video ? Sure ! 😁
I got some Joe Hisaishi vibes on some parts of the melody
Feels like I'm sitting in a tavern in a peaceful town in skyrim.
Thanks for letting me slap, i mean hit the drums on this one! That was a lot of fun!
Now I want to see you slap the drums though 😭
@@CharlesBerthoud Can do! 😂
You, sir, could give an inferiority complex to a metronome.
On par with Sugarfoot I'd dare to say! Great work on the drums my good sir!
Those fill rhythms were absolute amazing
That drummer really blew me away.
I didn't think that kind of time precision was possible
Look up throne thumper...
Considering those really long silent runs towards the end, it would honestly be impressive enough if he'd just been doing a repetitive beat. But to be basically soloing through that thing still on keeping perfect time was siiiiiiick
He literally has an earpiece on the video
the guy is clearly a pro and for a pro this is routine tbh
@@The3DP Absolutely 👍

no.
You can't checkmate an instrument of the gods.

That original tone is actually heavenly, it really fills out the whole spectrum, really nice dynamics as well man. And that composition is gorgeous
Thanks!
The original in the end was amazing. Gave me goosebumps. Got a fantasy / adventury feel to it. Love it!!
Brother, that drummer, OMG, he was throwing in off time fills and he was still killing it!
I don't really understand, did he not have a click going?
@@deanlockhart2800 It was the whole point not to
I can't imagine what Mat Gartska would do...

But what about SLAP FLUTE?
Wait a second...
WAIT-
NOOOO
Amelie, if anyone can do it, it's you. Go for it!
They can most certainly slap the keys down and create tones. That would be cool. I’ve heard it done before
I don’t know about a flute, but I’ve met a few singers I’d like to slap! Does that count?

That was bad idea, also putting bass strings to a violin? I think Charles just want to destroy violins

Your original sounds wonderful. It has a celtic feel to it that I really appreciate.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The Felix one was incredible. Got to do more with him.
The 1st piece with the double-neck sounded simply F'n beautiful!!
Commented before watching. I just knew It was going to be awesome! I wasn't disappointed.

The new original sound like it could be a follow up to “The last ride”
Yeah I can hear that!
@@CharlesBerthoud I feel like a cool name would be something like “A new hope”. It feels like the guy from “The last ride” gave himself another chance or something like that. I don’t know if you’re open to suggestions but that would be mine. You are extremely talented and I really think you should turn this into a full original!
@@titaniumdenight5501 I agree with this.
@@titaniumdenight5501 nice name, but the only problem is a lot of people will think it’s a Star Wars cover 😭 something similar could work though, thanks for the suggestion!
@@CharlesBerthoud Yeah I could definitely see that happen 😂, good luck!
Out of curiosity, did you know Tomo Fujita back when you were attending Berklee?
Really nice original! I would love to hear a full version. When a song inspires me to make music I feel blessed. Love the sound and the feel!
Wait, a normal "Hello everyone" with no zoom-in? Something's wrong I can feel it lol

I heard that Slosh is also graduated from Cherkelee.
@@andririki1298 Oh my god you know Slosh?? I'm like his biggest fan!
Worlds best tapper Adrian Davison ... PERIOD ... he started the whole movement back in the '80's
The new piece should be titled something quintessentially English, such as: “queuing for marmite”.
The original? HELL YEAH! ! ! ! ! KEEP GOING! ! ! ! It's sort of spacey, kind of smooth jazzy, perhaps a little movie sound tracky and very much sounds like it's telling a story. It's also seems to be trying to dovetail into my mind. I love the flow of it.
Incredible! It's the lost chord, the place I've been seeking since childhood...
Please continue as best you can...
I felt lonely and haunted at first, then calmed, finish this number sir it’s epic , filled with emotion.
My 19 year old just shared this with me. And thank goodness it was not a moment later.
I am obsessed.
I just got here. So. I don't know what to tell you to do with this piece.
But. I'm about to watch everything you have ever posted.
Man!!! Yall two playing together is amazing!!! Great melody at the end. And a great ending.
I love the funk that you are capable of producing but its your original pieces like that which hit me emotionally on another level
The work in progress is by far my fav song you've done. Make it happen Capt.
That last bit where you wonder if you shold make, or complete as an original. What an IDOTIC question!!!! It's a no-brainer. That was heavenly beautiful........ YES PLEASE!!!!!!!!!
I think you should finish your piece. It is astoundingly beautiful! I also want to hear a full recording of this amazing colab with Felix!!! WHAT!
BRILLIANT!! Perfect combo of TECHNIQUE and AESTHETIC!!
Your new original is incredible The kind of music , that gives you the chills In a very good way.
Your original song at the end of this video, dude... it brought tears to my eyes, exquisite brother.
