- Slap bass + wah is a great combination, but not all bassists agree 🤣 Become my BASS student: / charlesberthoud

Sharing your videos each week with my dad has been a cool bonding experience . He is a bassist that plays local shows regularly, he taught me the bass when I was a teenager. We are in awe of your skills, keep up the killer videos!
Haha I used to do the same all the time with Charles and Davies vids before I moved out to go to uni. Same time I was learning bass during covid. Awesome times w my dad, the lockdown had some good parts
Lost me at the pinky ring.
He's one of the best bass players I've heard in a very long time. There isn't anything he can't play.
As bass player of 37yrs, many bars, crowds, genre's, and styles.....THIS is the most disgustingly amazing display of bass I have ever seen.
Well done sir... well done.
This sounds like a really interesting blend of Kirk Hammett, Justin Chancellor, and Tim Commerford. Funky, but heavy as well!
Haha that's pretty accurate - I've been feeling the funk rock recently 🔥
@@CharlesBerthoud Ahh it's such a cool combination of two great genres!
You had to name Cliff Burton in place of Kirk Hammet...
@@CharlesBerthoud Keep it going, sir, it's a good place to be 👍
You meant Kirk Whammett?
That is some funky ass bass. 🤟
I love me some ass bass
@@SplendidFellow I was waiting for this comment, knew it was gonna happen. 😂🍻
The creativity has really been on point recently - and I don't just mean the "wah distortion" things that make the youtube titles, but the lines and writing too. In previous years sometimes the songs weren't feeling quite so fresh from one another but this year I really feel like Charles' writing and composition has felt elevated to a whole new level - he's shown us that somehow there was a level above where he was already at!!
Super saiyan 2
💯Agree👍
better than Davie501 who just stopped playing bass 😢
The 'pew' sound when pushing string off the last fret always gets me. Perfect placement. Never gets old 😂😂😂
I'm a bassist too and I don't hate this sound AT ALL... Actually I love the distorted wah sound, like Cliff Burton did it...
You are an excellent excellent musician. Love what you do and how you transform bass!!
Your composition skills are just as insane as your bass talent, this is sick!
Amazing.
Your artistry actually gets me snapping my fingers in rhythm!
You are my favorite.
Every time I think “this guy can’t get any better”, you do. That was killer!!! That gets my vote for being on an EP or album.
of all the stuff you've wowed me, someone who has never got beyond fiddling about with my four strings for relaxation, this may be the best. That tone is amazing and the wah just adds so much funk.
I think the backing music you make for each video is as impressive as your playing 👍
when you Hit the Like before the player even loads the video
That's the way to do it 👏🏻🔥
Do I detect an ode to Enter Sandman? To give some love to Kirk's wah? Nice 🤘
Haha the heavy part came out a little Sandman-ish. I think by using the wah pedal I summoned Kirk's spirit...
@@CharlesBerthoud Kirk would be proud! Sounds awesome, a combo of my favorite band, and my favorite bassist 🤘
May the funk be with us.
This is the way.
You should totally make an entire song just using harmonics! Your technique and musical ideas are always inspiring, and with that pitch bending bass of yours, I've absolutely become invested in seeing what the future hold for you!
my favorite part is always the few "off key" notes you throw in that somehow you make sound like theyre perfecty placed every tme
That's really cool. The sound is like liquid funk to me. With the raindrop *ploink* that resolves to a smooth grit like raining fireworks or TV static that remind me of older funk sounds.
ONE of your best and most CATCHY songs, well done, super fun vibe.
This is always sooo good. I've listened to you're other wah solo video about 100 times rn it's sooo good and this one's amazing aswell. Keep up the amazing music
Man that's the best looking bass I've ever seen.
this my favorite one of all time. this composition is insane
Wah wah
This makes me wanna play some Toejam & Earl
The thing is, Charles makes everything sound great
I taught this guy everything he knows 😎
Really?? Awesome!11
Thanks for teaching Charles!
The best ad ever seen
This is so meta I don't even know how to parse it in my brain
Thanks from stopping me from being first Charles 😒
I love it! The technique , the feel, the sound, the composition, fukin awesome.
Also the 7 string piccolo bass sounded great in this one! Love your metal influences
I’d honestly say the wah was meant to be played with bass. That distortion combined with the wah is giving massive Call of Cthulhu vibes.
The sleeper of r'lyeh is high on acid 🌟
The beginning reminded me of Geezer Butler.
@@brianm7278 Supernaut.
Its not just your ability, which is incredible but your phrasing is amazing too. Ive been a musician for years started at 12 and am 51 now. To be able to marry technique and feel like you do is amazing and quite inspiring. One of the best and one of my favorite bassists for sure. Thank you for sharing what you do.
Wow, dude! That totally rocks. You're a pure musical genius! 👏🏻👍🏻
I gave your reply a 👍, Not only is your spelling, punctuation and grammar excellent, you also know the difference between "Your" and "You're". ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
@@rogerbumfizz4796😂
WAH
WAH
Everything he does just shows how astonishing talented he is. 👏
Your videos have really inspired me to improve my bass playing, I've seen a huge improvement in the last year. Looking forward to the bass showcase.
Sounds super clean.
I love your music Charles!!! Happy Holidays!
Love you man. Keep it coming.
Absolutely amazing; love the groove and coordination
Wow, I love hearing from you, I always know I'm in for something special!❤❤❤
good lord, my dude is MURDERING that bass !!! sounds incredible
Such a variety of musicality in this Charles from mellow through to heavy, it really took us on a journey. Such a great groove Charles!! Appreciate your talent and commitment very much... and sense of humour - with that unique bass note played at 1:05 at the highest fret! So so good!!
Yeah, the funny noise is always welcome, it's a very good meme.
He really does use the entire neck! From the highest to the lowest in a single run, getting all he can from those 4 strings
Impressive as usual, Charles! 👏🏻👍🏻🤌🏻
Dude this is your best video so far. Would be really cool to see a whole album done in the style of electronic music.
Чарльз,как у тебя всё здорово получается.Ты профессионал высшей категории.Исполнение бесподобное.Браво.Я просто кайфую от твоей музыки.А мне 62 года.
Чарлз спасибо тебе большое, иногда бывает месяц другой не занимаюсь на басу, а тут тебя посмотрю и на неделю заряжен, 🙏🏻🧨
Awesome as usual man, and your sig bass is lush! Proud of you dude!
Nice piece as always ! I love the bass design, it looks really neat.
That was smoke'in.. total funk 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wah pedal always make any instrument FUNKY, beautiful playing as usual, Charles. ❤
Einfach nur geil! Hammer Klang und sensationelles Bassplay!👍👍👏👏🎸🎶💥
Funky and smooth! Great sounds and great composition!
I love wah for bass! I was not able to figure how to keep the normal low end while enjoying sweeps, fast playing, or anything like you did in an my old amateur bass playing days
🔥🔥🔥 as usual) Brings joy
Indeed this is some of the funkiest bass I’ve ever heard! Loved the last bass way video too - I show it to everyone!
Really cool Charles! The wah is an iconic tool in rock and sounds great. I saw another very cool use of a Morley Power Wah back in about 1980ish when I saw the Buddy Rich Band live. Instead of a guitar player, Buddy had a soprano saxophone player. For some songs the soprano sax was doing guitar style solos through the Morley. It was awesome! Again, very fun jam! Have a great weekend!
Love that gutsy sound! You da best
FANTASTIC!! Simply amazing!!
Wow, this song is so good... One of your best, Charles!
Super Cool piece Charles another very impressive composition
Keep up the great work
Gives off a nice rock and funk vibe. Truly amazing!
This is one of my favorite originals, kickass!
Браво,браво,браво!!!
this is amazing, I like the sound. very well done.
Awesome! Great sound and style Shecter makes wonderful bases too! Loved the song!
Sounds amazing!
Actually Charles YOU a make it sound insane(ly) good - you are obsessed and blessed - brilliant funk , great mix , nice build - you are such a ripping rock star - in your hands it is powerful modern force - thank you - please keep it up - we love you and your music ❤️🎼🎸👏👏👏👏👏😱🙏🌏✌️
Damn that tone is incredible. Especially the clean tone 🤯
That wah effect is fantastic
This sounds really phat. Like a synthesizer and a guitar wah had a baby. Love it. You should try to integrate into a background bass riff in a track just going alongside the bass line.
My inspiration 🔥
Oh man, that's a big hit! I love the groove here!
one of your best videos
🤯 Thank you, Charles!!!
All your stuff is amazing, but this one has to be one of my favourite compositions of yours.
I’m straight up inspired :)
Sounds awesome! When will your signature bass be available from Schecter?
Thanks! Nov 27th (Cyber Monday)
A pleasure as always! Would love to have seen more of your foot :D
I NEED A FULL VERSION ON EVERY PLATFORM
I'm in awe at the technicity. I wanted to put on background music for work, and I couldn't swap my attention, just stayed mouth opened
Best baseline ever
Such an enjoyable piece!
😎 such a cool vibe!
I feel this is a character's theme in a game. Said character being like a "too fly to die" kind of character in a vigilante sense. Amazing job you've done
Have the same wah, I love it!
Love this jam !!!
That's FRICKIN AWESOME, one of the best Bass jams EVER, Epic as always!
Sick funky madness!
So good!!
AMAZING.......as always..!!!!!
I had to take a deep breath and try to process just how staggering lay badass that it got around the solo. Jeez.
I’m impressed that you were able to get that sick of a sound with distortion and wah while slapping. I can’t recall being able to get my playing to sound good like that, but then again I’m not Charles Berthoud.
I can't wait for your new bass to come out Charles. The thing sounds absolutely amazing. I know you're able to make a hello kitty bass sound phenomenal but the bass you have your name on is unlike any other. As always we'll done Charles...inspiring millions
This is going into my daily mix rotation!!! SO 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!!!!!
You are a master bro, highly technical and tasteful
Ayo… the amount of inspiration I got from this is insane. W video 🔥🔥
Perfect sound for the weekend❤😊
Man, everything you do is just pure fire bruh 100
DUDE!!!! Damn Charles, that was SICK MAN!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
that's funky brother!...(mouth pop/clicking noise) nice!
I don't know where you learn these things my friend but you make me levitate when I watch your videos
