What do you all think of the full song?! 👇🏻
great boss
Epicc
Beyond Epicness
its very epic ngl
Alright. Well, this is literally the only reason I created the universe
Charle's neighbor: "Why do I hear boss music?"
Lol exactly. This is what his neighbor hears just before Charles busts through the wall with his bass like the Kool-Aid guy.
@@gargamel3393 “OOOOHH YEAAAAA”
"why i'm receiving a lot of things and now i'm listening this awesome music "
Lmao nice
Unlucky neighbor actually, Charles has headphones in.
IMO there aren't too many virtuoso players that are also incredible composer/writers, but holy crap this guy is absolutely phenomenal in every aspect
At age of 55 Charles inspired me to start playing on my bass again after a 25 year break. I even bought a brand new Fender. Thank you for the inspiration Charles.
Charles doesn't look 55.
@@CoreyChambersLA very funny haha
25 year break? Nah that's called retired bro lol
well he at 31 he ispiered me to start learning bass so I completely understand man! :D
Same bro
I can't determine whether I'm inspired or discouraged.
Like all of us with any kind of art. I often felt discouraged by seeing art that is much better than my art. There will always be someone better than us (unless we're literally the best), but art is mostly about enjoying while doing it. And Charles is enjoying the hell out of that bass, it seems XD skills improve gradually, as long as we don't give up on practicing and stay determined, we won't get discouraged. And the inspiration part will help us close the gap :D
I look at my bass in discuss now
Looking at my bass...
"Maybe you should go to someone that can really play you like you deserve to be played...like Charles..."
😂
Just slap instead of tap and feel far better of yourself than you have any right to.
This sounds very like a ultimate boss fight scene in a game.
Mega Man
Did you copied my comment idea?
Probably an RPG final battle like Golden Sun.
@@Chrispypullen Yeah, something between Megaman X and an RPG
@@goatox9595 Nope, I don't even know what did you wrote..
This just doesn't get old. Listening to it just gives me the chills. What a musician!
Oh my Goodness even played in x0.5 speed, that bassline solo still sounds fast and incredible. Thank you Charles for showing me there is no limitation for bassists.
How can you tell the recordings playback is sped up?
@@marklgreenfield dude, please read properly
@@hakimapgThis is the UA-cam comment section, everyone here has the reading comprehension of a 5 year old.
What. In. The. World.
Hey Alex - you should totally collab with Charles on a VG music project!
Get verified
i know u from genshin impact video....make reaction video for this too....
thank you
I was about to say the same, so I would slap like on your comment... but it has 69 likes, so I won't. Greetings (:
Fucking. Yes.
"Tabs on this part on Patreon"
Yeah like hell could I ever play that part
HAHAHAH whenever he says that I think the same, well, thanks Charles!
Lol
He has to put the tabs onto Patreon, to lower the risk of causing bass related injuries to less qualified bassists.
@@DavidShepheard is it true ?
It is just for you to see how many notes you didn't heard even if you think you could play it
Ridiculously good. Perhaps you have the cleanest performance of all basists I´ve heard so far. Crystal clear, and yet so insanely advanced. You´re simply the best around.
2:30 and onwards is just divine
Davie: He mainly used tap because he knows it's not my main technique.
Charles: "slapocalypse"
... he came at Davie using Davie's primary technique ... stronze'.
One more like for 69
Me, at 42 years old, after almost 26 years of playing the bass:
Yup, I've wasted my life allright
You can reach that level through hard work. Never give up.
Haha😆
HA! 43 playing for almost 30 years and feeling the exact same right now 🤣
Do not feel bad man. Charles is from a different planet...
@@zacharyessey5904 ya gotta know when to put down that old p bass and shake ur head in wonder
Still listening in 2024
Sounds like a bad ass 90s super Nintendo boss level song.
When Davie listened to the original solo and said "so, that's all for today. See you in the next video" I felt that.
That? You just felt that? Don't do that, please. That's a mister Y.
What Davie sees: "Impossible"
What Charles sees: "I'm possible"
You again
Grow a mustache
69th like proud owner
@@MrJdsenior im right here
@@whosaidthat84 LOL, 10 out of 10! That was funny! :-)
2 years later and this still hits so hard. Gives me goosebumps!
Dude Charles this video is out of this world incredible! These videos are so awesome to watch man! Well done!
What I like about Charles is no matter how technically advances his skills become his stuff still sounds like music. My biggest beef with some unbelievably talented bass players is that they are so good they aren't a pleasure to listen to anymore. Charles stuff is always music to my ears!
I think a lot of musicians get wrapped up in flexing and the technical aspects, they stop focusing on keeping it melodic and fun to listen to.
Well put.
I have the same issues with certain guitarists who are technical phenoms, such as Steve Vai or Yngwe Malmsteen , but how about just writing a song. They could take a lesson on songwriting from someone like Angus Young - just write a song, please, and quit showing off your mastery of math formulas. 😺
truth spoken
Steve Vai comes to mind. Dude is technically amazing but his music is terrible.
My brother loved the music and the flashing images so much he's dancing on the floor!
Hmmm...
Haaaaa the joy of epilepsy
There was warning in the video 😞
You mean "Having a seizure on the floor"
@@tateskinner4695 nah, hes just dancing, how would he get a seizure from a video with flashing lights?
I have been listening to this track for a year on end now. I need a need to binge on it every so often, it feeds my soul.. and for days after I can't have a moment of free thought that doesn't include that last tap section with the double kick drum behind it. it's phenomenal, truly, Just a passing thought,,,
That keyboard/organ accompaniment in the chorus section really made it shine. Awesome! Oh, and absurdly good bass playing sir, you make incredible music.
The dislikes are from people having a seizure while trying to click the like button.
Gold.
Seriously what kind of idiots can unlike this.
They're holding their phone upside down
There were a lot of flashing lights in the video
I laugh out loud to comments on the internet maybe 4 times a year. Kudos, that was hilarious.
This the Bass WARS begins...
Nah. Davie is scared now
nope peace and unity will bless bassists forever
Begun the bass war has
This is how the war ends. That was a hydrogen bomb over his house👍👍👍
@@luboinchina3013 ^what you said.
This solo also made me believe that he is the greatest bassist i have seen. for me this is the 'THE BEST SOLO OF ANY INSTRUMENT' . From 2:34 till end it was 'MAJESTIC'
This is absolutely phenomenal. Brilliant! Of all his great music, this is simply out of this world. I don't know if he can better this. You're a living legend Charles. Thank you for this incredible music library of your work.
Person: How many notes can you play on bass?
Charles: Yes
😂😂😂
@odjebitekapitalisti Yes, all of them, most of them at the same time.
Playing this is one thing
CREATING this kind of baseline is beyond anything I would have imagined
This is quite insane and trully a Master! Congrats Charles for being passionate about what you love doing!
OMG this is why Davie started playing guitar.
😂
Reminds me of my sister playing her cello. Many cello music is played close to the edge of the fingerboard. She asked her teacher why to take so much trouble, trying to make a cello sound exactly like a violin. Why not play that music on a violin?! Get real!
sure
XD
@@voornaam3191 My brother writes orchestral music and used to play cello. I asked him about the same thing and apparently you get a darker tone from playing a cello in the higher part of its range than you do from a violin.
Anime battle music lv 9999

@@CharlesBerthoud hey everyone.
A few days ago, Roseanne Park (Rosè) released a song called glowing chest, by Lim Doyeon. [me]
@@CharlesBerthoud you should actually do some bass covers of anime songs!!!!
@@misasantamariaguzman4091 like Giorno Giovanna.
YOURE A MONSTER CHARLES.!!!
No matter how many times I listen to this.. I just can't help but be mind blown by how epic this is.. ❤
beautiful. you keep inspiring me to get better at the bass, and I hope you continue to create because I'm sure I'm not the only one.
My dad would have loved this video. He played Bass for 60+ years and was always looking for some great players. Sadly he passed in 2014. He had many Basses and he gave some away to young musicians. We had a Christian band from South America travel around and they came to our home church. The airline lost the Bass player's Bass and dad had a new Kubicki 5 string and he just gave it to the young player. Said if you are going to play for the Lord, you should play on one of the best there is. The dude was crying. But that was just dad. He would have loved to sit and watch you guys' videos for hours. He would call me all the time if he found a great video. Thanks for all your hard work. I posted this on Davie's channel too!
Sounds like an awesome dad and a great human being. Peace be with him.
@@lordocasl7366 yup
may he rest in piece! he seemed to be a great man!
Sorry for your loss, man. Your dad seemed like an awesome dude!
What a great dad & great person. Also, that's quite an endorsement for Kubicki!
Can you play the opening from Cowboy bebop but very hard? Thx :3
OH MAN THAT WOULD BE AWESOME
That would be amazing.
Yes, please!
Seriously, a compilation of the whole soundtrack that The Seatbelts did for the show would be incredible. Bad Dog No Biscuit would be freakin sweet from Charles
Yes please!!
I have watched this video more than 100 times now. Still get goosebumps every time. Absolutely fantastic job Charles!
A masterpiece. My favorite song from now on , respect Charles, seldom had such an experience with music, mindblowing and impressing....thanks!
2:34 best part of the whole thing made my freaking jaw drop
Agree
Absolutely! Just played it back at 0.25x speed and it’s still too fast to follow exactly what he’s playing there. The other impressive aspect of the slowed down playback is the sheer precision he maintains at speed.
@@kigtod he is just too powerful for us to comprehend😂
This is not only insanely hard, but also sounds amazing. I finally get how hard tapping is because I finally got a bass. I don't get how you don't have more subscribers, your content is amazing.
Better than Davie, no doubt!
@@bentonchiez the reason Davie got so many subs that is because he is special, Davie is a great bass player too but he focuses on memes but we have to be greatful for these talented men before they are gone
@@jameskentenabe5110 He was quite large before the meme stuff due to his very solid slap style
@@jameskentenabe5110 true. I like Charles more because he plays more than he talks
Absolutely fantastic, best wishes for your future. Thanks. J. B.
I can honestly say, that is the best bass I have ever seen. I would LOVE to hear this with other instruments around it.
Gee, I’m glad I covered the short one before you released this madness 😂 🏳
Haha😆
you do an incredible cover too bro ⚡⚡
Wow, just checked that out, indeed, very good!
@@TiltCntrlz @vasko thank you 😂☺️
@@Libanass No, thank YOU!
That was incredible! I can't imagine being able to play like this, but I'm gonna keep practicing anyway.
Keep practising!
This is the right mindset
Keep practizing!
@@thulsa_doom Keep practidance!
@@baliscope5090 🤡
Love it! The bridge and chorus are so melodic, that it's impossible not to!
I know it's been 1+ year but I still can't get enough of that song, it's unbelievable
This sounds like a mix of funk, metal and jazz
I love it
Yey charles liked my comment
Thanks charles you're awesome
And J.S.Bach in the begining
@@dm120000 yeah kinda
I hear a little bluegrass as well
Davie : It’s time for Holy Sl.......
Charles : * Slapocalypse *
Lol
Lol
Lol fantastic post
2:22 - 2:40 sweet camera work, and that final camera matching slide was dope af
Bass excellence. I'm a huge fan. Since the beginning of this channel
Charles, your song needs a name, so when we refer to this epic piece people know what we're talking about.
Beethoven: Name your music? Why? What's wrong with a serial number?
Epicus maximus
Didnt u see it in the corner the name was WARNING: MAY CONTAIN FLASHING IMAGES
Thunder from down under.
Slaptapstic phenom
After playing bass for a decade, life happened and I stopped playing for almost 15 years. Today I bought a new bass and am starting over from scratch. Mr. Berthoud is one of my inspirations for picking it back up. I hope some day I can be even half as amazing of a bassist as you are. Thanks for making awesome stuff and inspiring folks!
Same!
bro, even if you become a tenth as good as this guy consider yourself privileged...
your gift is undeniable mate. i always enjoy watching u on the guitar
This still remains unbeaten ! Charles is the bass final boss
As a bass player I’m not sure if this inspires me or completely destroys me
true story
I'm a simple bloke who does not know a lot about music and I came across this video through a link. This piece of music is one of the most incredible things I have ever listened to in my life and I am pretty old. I never believed that sort of magic could flow from a bass. Well done Charles...outstanding.
This comment is really wholesome. And I agree completely, this is magic for my ears too XD I am actually looking forward to what our future generations will come up with to impress us younger folks when we're older :D
Wow, this is amazing, i listened to this while studying and boy did it help. Keep up the content
I repeated this video countless of times. It always want to make me cry. It’s melody is just so beautiful. It’s my dream to play the bass. Can’t wait to reach that dream. Charles inspired me the most.
Man, Charles is another level. He can do a total technique show off and remain insanely musical. And his playing is always so clean! Just perfect
"Warning, contains flashing images"
Me: Huh, i'm not an epileptic!
My astigmatismus and migraine: Say "Hello", bitch!
Mind blowing, so flash but with real feeling and tuneful. Thank you.
You're the Charles the Pro! Subscribed!
When you play something like this, could you at least make a pained expression and pretend like it's difficult for you?
Yeah, all these guitar and bass players have those orgasm faces, when they play a solo. Some have a different weird face for every single chord.
😂
@@voornaam3191 "all guitar and bass players have those orgasm faces"
Uhm I feel called out.
I play the banjo... We kinda make a face, but it's more or less just drooling on ourselves.
Imagine walking around thinking “I’m possibly the best bass player on the planet right now.” Charles lives that shit for real. Incredible. 🤘🏻
I am the first in the world i’m my skill. I think about it all the time.
What's he gonna play like in 30 years?
@Mailroom Clerk Davie504 and Charles are equals imho. They both are unbelievably skilled, each of them with their unique style. And just to be clear, Davie played this solo ( not the whole thing, just the piece Charles sent him as challenge answer. I bet Davie can play the whole thing.
@Mailroom Clerk He might seem like a bit of a slouch because of his entertainment focused video style, but you can't forget that he still is an insanely talented bassist
I'm sure there are plenty of session musicians who just don't do UA-cam.
My favourite bass music of all times ! So much talent and so much greatness !! ✌✌
You and Davie are both really awesome. Listening to you guys makes me want to take up the bass guitar as well.
Charles, I honestly feel like you're going to be the person to usher in a new era of lead bass in music. I cant wait to see what you'll be doing with your amazing skill (not talent this is obviously years of dedication) in the future and what musical ensembles you'll find yourself in. Keep on keepin' the groove alive legend
You know what's weird. It seems that youtubers are now some of the best musicians in the world, especially when discounting straight up professional classicals. When it comes to modern music... this is to me one of the greatest works of music around. And thanks to you and Davie we are truly living in a golden age of bass.
Charles graduated from the Berklee College of Music.
He's the epitome of a classically trained musician.
UA-cam is an amazing platform to get visibility, however, so it makes absolute sense that highly talented individuals trying to make a living through music would embrace it.
0:37
Yeah, it's not like 'youtuber' is a race or some xP
These people always where around but had no platform top get famous. Now they have.
Welcome to the real world my friend. There's many talented people out here that never get signed or never become famous, in fact some of the most talented artist and musicians out there are not famous at all.
This is epic, incredible bass solo you are a legend bro
Jaw-dropping solo for sure! You could hear elements of bluegrass, thrash metal, funk, classical, etc. Job well done!
Hear dat! It's crazy. All those genres, and the tapping, and the constant chords making it melodic as icing on the cake.
Apparently I need a new bass. The one I have never sounds like this.
Yea my bass is broken too doesn’t sound like that either
Charles: *plays a bass solo*
People: *start talking*
Charles: *plays Slapocalypse*
People Talking: *faces melt a la Ark of the Covenant*
You mean Raiders of the Lost Ark? Yeah, I agree!!!
Ok, I actual found your link to young’s songs etc. So thank you! Oh and your impossible piece here is incredible, and yes, pretty much impossible to duplicate!
My God! Brother Charles... That is ABSOLUTELY the most beautiful thing I have ever heard! You are truly a master. Love your videos and keep up the great work! Sincerely, T.
I think you both are incredible! Amazing performance, sir!!
This song isn't an impossible bass solo. It's just Charles' warmup song.
The Chuck Norris of Bass... he doesn't play bass... the earth moves up and down to slap the bass strings while Charles just nods approvingly
That's... not unheard of? (The famously hard Classical Thump was literally Wooten's warmup before he decided to play it for an audience.)
No, this is just a tribute...
This guy is something else. One of the most skilled bassists ever. His bass is a mix of bass, keyboard and guitar.
Amazing job. Great tone..... Thanks!!!!!
That was awesome Charles, you too good kid. Keep up the great work.
This is definitely one of the best solos I’ve ever heard 😍

Just amazing! You've made my day!
This is by far my favorite piece you've created. I love it.
the rhythm guitar in the back in the metal part just got me so hyped !!!
Absolutely amazing!!! you're on fire Charles !!!

Absolutely, need also jingle bells and the episode to defend Davie
the best I can do for you is 0:36
Ye please
I listened to it dozens of times. Can't get enough. Thank you for that inspiration. This solo is just stunning.
That was sick. Love you guys going at each other. This is crazy.
YOUR PLAYING IS STUNNING. GREAT TO WATCH
Okay, so..... that was absurd.
How is a bass virtuoso of this caliber not a worldwide household name?
That fill at 2:37-2:38 was so funky my bathroom vent fan just kicked on by itself.
Just.... damn!
because there is no music in any of his videos or in david 504 ones for that matter.. hwere is a great bass line played by one of this guys in a great piece of music?
@@michaelciancetta6397 I dunno, they’re both a lot better than me on a bass, and - considering their numbers of subscribers - they’re clearly doing fine simply being hammy personalities and playing their short exhibition pieces. I don’t personally require anything more from them. I am adequately entertained.

Absolutely agreed!
Not only did that sound great but is inspirational. This solo makes you want to go out and achieve some impossible goals.
Happy bday, Charles! This one is my favorite!
