Really like the tone in this one. Sounded like a country music boss fight
🤣🤣🤣
Difficult Pete has challenged you to a duel at sundown lol
i was struggling to describe it, but country music boss fight is perfect
Hands down the best way to describe this sound. Bravo, bravo.
Like a Rocket League Tournament Finals match in Farmstead.
So, I’d like to introduce you to the band. This is Charles and he plays the bass.
That’s it.
Now THAT'S funny!!! 😝🤪😛
Sixty nine likes LMAO
@@MrMyauro 89 and counting 😂
He takes the word talent to a whole other level. You're blessed dude
I’m glad this dude is doing well on UA-cam. I remember seeing him when he had so little subscribers now people are finally seeing a true musician!
You managed to turn a bass into a country guitar whilst also playing the bass. I can't even play fingerstyle on bass absolutely amazing
Sounded like 💩 to me

Sounds great

I've tried a lot of slides on bass and finally ended up with a cocobolo wood slide being the one that worked best. Just imagine a reversed fretless thing going on. Give that a shot if you wish to go down that road beyond this video. Cheers.
Wtf is reversed fretless, we wonders? All frets??🙄🤦♂️🤡🤡🤡🤡🤷♂️
@@spanqueluv9er i think the slide is made of wood not metal or glass
@@raymondfarinas3169 I think what he means is on a fretless bass, the string is getting pressed against wood, and with a wooden slide, the string is also pressing against wood, except on the top side of the string instead of the underside.
@@SparrowC1 That has nothing to do with the frets- that’s just using a slide.🙄🤦♂️🤡
@@raymondfarinas3169 Oh my gawd, no it doesn’t.🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤡
Just when you think Charles has seriously done it all, he throws another curve ball into the mix. Absolutely amazing,
I love how you GO PAST THE FRETBOARD and make it sound so good!
Some might say this and exaggeration, but I truly believe you are creating the basis for a massive evolutionary jump of the bass guitar. I've played for 20+ years, I've listened to all the greats. You are consistently and continuously extracting new sounds out of a 70 years old instrument. Amazing.
Wait the bass is only 70 years old?
@@saplingdatree4111electric is
@@saplingdatree4111 the electric bass yeah I believe it was first created in the 50s with the fender p bass
@@Nowel22222 it's older but fender managed to popularize it
@@christofferniemonen8872 it's not that older except as a very niche device made in the 30s in a handful of copies, that nobody really used. Even with that into account it's barely 90 years old
you're the most versatile musician on this platform by far!
Ichika would like a word
iammodus sends his regards
When you say platform I'm assuming you mean Earth.
@@dougrobinson1171 ichika is fantastic, I don't think he's versatile though. His range just isn't as broad as Charles. Ichika has a very definite sound that's his. Charles has shown he can do funk, rock, metal, classical, soundscapes, scoring, smooth emotional solo compositions, electronic and now apparently bluegrass...
@@wizardvega724 I would argue for Rob Scallon
I have been using this technique for ages, it's really amusing to see others finally realise how good it is!
Mark Sandman called from heaven, he said you have too many strings on your bass, but he digs the slide thing. ;)
I play a lot of slide guitar, and I have tried sliders with a Bass. Sounds really fun from experience myself! Great work Charles!
Haha yeah it's a lot of fun 🤣
@@CharlesBerthoud Absolutely!
What about slide on a fretless bass?
@@Imagination-In-A-Box yes!
@@Imagination-In-A-Box it wouldn’t sound diffrent as you don't need a slide to play slide fretless bass/guitar
Props to Mark Sandman for doing this back in the 90's with Morphine, and with only two strings!
Yes!!! I remember seeing them on a few shows and was completely blown away by how huge they sounded with just the simple setup they had.
I was looking for this comment thank you!
Sandman is a legend.
One of my all time favourite bands
I was lucky enough to see them play twice
Morphine forever
Man, this is why I love music. I'm learning bass now and it amazes me the more I dive into learning, the more avenues open up. I hear people making so many different noises from just the one instrument and it excites me to get better so I can play all these different ways.
when a real pro gets to the business this sounds absolutely amazing
Every time I think there's nothing left for you to surprise me with, you prove me wrong. 🙂
I’m disappointed that you didn’t do a cool breaking bad thing with that slide Charles…
You were the chosen one! You were meant to bring balance to the bass…!
Wow true, might have to do that at some point!
Now I keep watching the first few notes of the video and being disappointed in myself for not playing Breaking Bad
@@CharlesBerthoud Redeemeth thyself Charles!
@@CharlesBerthoud no no no play some Mississippi burning swamp slide so thick i can feel the mosquitos.
I could not agree more. It would indeed fit quite nicely in the opening or ending.
I’ve been a bassist for forty years and this guy blows my mind. Fantastic!
I was doing that back in the 80s. But without the tapping. That's new, and awesome!
I've just recieved my first bass, and you were a huge inspiration for me to get one, keep converting people to the B A S S side!
That's great to hear, have fun with it!
Lol, pleasantly surprised by the musical direction. When I think of "slide bass", I usually associate it with the sound of the band Morphine. Fantastic job, as usual.
I like the slide bass in Morphine much better than this though. Charles plays amazing as always, nothing against him. But Morphine was just...

@@nicholaswheatle9860 I was about to leave this comment section then I noticed this. Goated game! Didn’t think I’d see it here
In my head I was hearing a banjo.
@@kaganozdemir4332 RIP Mark Sandman
Charles, your brilliance and creativity and innovation always amazes me. Thank you.
Probably one of my most favorite videos so far! Thank you for this!
I am so glad I've subscribed. I play "basic bass" and I love it. You show me what it can be with the right skilled talent at the helm. Keep on playing showing us what can be achieved.
Bassic bass.
@@CommunistBearFighter I'm a guitar player at heart. Mostly self taught. I can't read bass music and struggle at best to read treble. I play bass like: it's an E chord I play the E note. But along with that I fill in and can hear what notes go along with that. Sort of improvisation. Something I could never do with the guitar. I love it. But seeing you play and getting a feel of what the bass can do does inspire me to stretch myself.
@@glennholmes9705 The best part is that bass players have complete control over what chords are being played. Put a Db under that E chord and now the bands playing a Dbm7 chord
@@glennholmes9705 Yeah he's an awesome player! I'm also really inspired. My comment was just a pun on the word "basic". An example of my utterly disgraceful sense of humour lol.
@@CommunistBearFighter I mean, I laughed 😂
I've been playing slide bass for years, glad to see it get some appreciation. it takes a special kind of touch to get good slide off the E string.
that is absolutely brilliant my friend... very clever man- thanks for your time
I love this slide the best of yours!
I actually own a slide, and I can confirm that it's really fun use it on bass (of course, I can't sound anywhere _near_ as funky as Charles is in this video).
I feel like The Devil Went Down To Georgia would be the _perfect_ song to use bass sliding.
This please.
Grandioso, no sólo eres un gran bajista sino también un creativo, expresivo e innovador del mundo.
Te admiro muchísimo Charles Saludos desde 🇨🇴
Totalmente. Un saludo parce
Bien dicho parcero.

Hi @@iupiter.161. It's the flag from Colombia.
@@Josh1OD thanks!😁
Charles I definitely need more slide bass in my life! That was awesome!
superb! man, you master everything you try
I just love the fact you go past the end of the fret board and play notes way higher than you’re supposed to be able to on bass. Amazing
I guess the slide becomes a sliding capo?
That was so incredibly cool and unique. I wasn't sure what to expect but that surpassed my expectations exponentially.
Now that was simply beyond ridiculously fantastic!
Morphine is in my top three favorite bands!! Two string slide bass, bari sax, and drums. Mark Sandman was incredible!
Too bad I was born too late to see Mark in concert, because Morphine is my favourite band :(
I’ve been doing this for a while for bluesy stuff, I’d recommend it for slower stuff but this was super cool
This guy has shown has shown us how versatile bass can be.
Nice mixture of tapping & slide 💪 might be my fav application of tapping ever (!)
I really love the slide sounds so vocal! Do more!
Man you should totally do a Morphine cover, Mark Sandman was the first slide bass I've heard and always intrigued me how much more creative you can become with limitations
Insano ! Cada vez mais este baixista cria coisas diferentes ! Posso qualificar como um dos melhores baixistas do mundo, pois ele intensamente estuda técnicas diferentes levando o contrabaixo elétrico em outro patamar!
Morphine.
no doubt
Highly agree my fellow portuguese speaker, Charlie tem uma técnica extraordinária, esse tapping dele é de outro planeta.
@@MarsLonsen Take You
Man that was nice
Really cool to see the slide played on bass, I love the deep tone it has
I'm always trying to get that deeper tone on guitar playing slide, this sounded awesome
Absolutely amazing. Never heard that done before.
i'm from tennessee and i can say that this is a certified bluegrass classic
I was channeling my inner banjo player
@@CharlesBerthoud LOL
This is probably one of the best things I've ever listened to you play. I wonder how the slide would sound on flat wound strings.
I am laughing and loving it all at the same time that sounded so crazy and cool.
Charles you are a gift to us all.
I really like a glass slide on bass. I also found out that it sounds very cool combined with delay and distortion
This sounds like the kind of music someone would have gone down to the crossroads and sold their soul to be able to play. Absolutely amazing. Great job!
Ah I see you're a man of culture as well!
*Did ya' see Eugene & Willie down there?*
#CrossroadsWALTERHILL 🤘🏽
this is supreme mastery of the instrument. His talent is just unreal.
Love the content not talking for 10 minutes about how great it is and then give us 5min max of you playing keep it up dude
Меня поражает Ваше владение фактурой....даже не знаю, что у Вас круче получается-играть или создавать такие шикарные аранжировки...
Jesteś szalony, weź tabletki, jesteś genialny!!!
Virtuoso. Plays off the fretboard next to the pickup. Next level.
You never cease to amaze me!..next up bottle caps glued to finger tips.Your one of the greatest bassist I know of.
Love the idea of taking the slide beyond the end of the fretboard, giving an extended high end.
Great Work as Always Dude! Every Time I see someone using a Slide I gotta think of Mark Sandman of Morphine. Speaking of him, Can you play with 2 strings?
I see that I'm not the only one, I deeply love Morphine.
CTRL+F "Morphine" worked I see
@@postpunk6947 You're cool
@@Clipmen You're cool too
@@screamingtreeproductions 🥶
OK dude, you got me to subscribe with this one. Totally awesome, Ive got an acoustic bass that bowed from the sun and turned it in to a slide bass, loved riffing on it. Never thought about tapping it as well! Nice work dude, 👍👍👍
That was fun! Keep going. 🔥
If you enjoy the sound of slide bass in a raunchy, smokey kinda jazz blues rock vibe, check out the band Morphine, and their (sadly deceased) bassist, Mark Sandman, who plays a two string bass tuned a 5th apart.
I was wondering when I'd find a comment on Mark Sandman, I was starting to get disappointed! That dude was an absolute genius who was WAY ahead of his time.
@@juanbond85 definitely an often overlooked player in a world obsessed with adding more strings! A unique talent.
@@M2Mil7er He’s never overlooked. Literally everybody knows this. Hush up now.🙄🤦♂️🤦♂️
Great video as always! Sliding on bass sounds terrific, which makes me think.. could you please play a Ukrainian national anthem on it? It contains high pitched sliding notes which will probably sound very cool on bass. This will also help boost our morale. Thank you for your content, lots of love from Ukraine❤
Jesus Christ loves you.
Slava Ukraini.
omg you are a monster!!! crazy man!!! 👍👍👍
Such amazing skills
Bro I just want to say that you are either one of the hardest working musicians I've ever seen or you are insanely talented beyond words. Make sure you use your talent and hard work to glorify God my friend!
That is just too cool.I don’ think I’ve ever seen that done before.
this is the most crazy sounding of everything in the "sounds crazy" series i would love to see more slide
You’re just a genius period! Love it 🤘🏻
Charles... You arte INCREDIBLE!!!!!
Bravo Charles !! c'est juste tres original et parfaitement maitrisé comme d'habitude!!!
That sounds AMAZING!!
Super cool! Amazing sound and skill!
Absolutely great
I need more of that.
Amazing, sounds so cool!
Out standing! He’s the Chet Akins of the bass!!! Nice job.
That’s great playing!!
I love the sound of this! It is also pretty hilarious.
My man out here unlocking frets he didn't know he had. Awesome.
Oh wow !! Was not expecting that ! 👍
That slap at the end🎸💪
Insane. As always
sounds amazing
I love this please more
Charles you make anything you play on bass sound good
Beautiful tone🎶🎼🎵🎸
You inspire me Charles
I really can't get over the intro to this song, the vibe is so unique. Want to find more!!!!!!
YOU RE CRAZY MAN! JUST LUV!
So Cool! Thanks 🙏
OMG!! do your skills never end???? I loved that and the Tenor Bass video right after it also had me drooling!!
Charles you're really sick! The Slide has been around forever you nailed it
Hahaha! Yay!!!
Yee Haw!
Love the big creativity with the wicked skilz
Great composition, too!
this is so awesome!!
Amazing skill buddy
Thats amazing

Genius… can’t wait for the next one.
