Vic Wooten was with Bela Fleck at the first 'BayFest' in Mobile, AL, in 1995. I was right in front of the 1 ft. tall 'stage', about 3 ft. from Vic, and was AMAZED for their whole set!
I saw her a year and a half ago in Prague. Go see her live. I was blown away. She was so nice after the show as well. Signed stuff and talked to people.

As a musician myself, I can certainly appreciate the skill of great players like these… but I also temper it with the realization that most of the greatest songs ever composed were relatively simple. Food for thought… 👍🏻
Without Davie Charles wouldn't be what he is today. He started pump content quite a lot after the initial kick boosted by Davies videos, which has really paid off
I didn't use to pay any attention to the bass, but then I found your videos and I've been binge-watching ever since. You are so good at what you do and now I am even considering learning the bass. Keep up the great content!
He pretends that it's all difficult then nails it perfectly . He's trying to be humble but he's really just saying he can play anybody's lines no matter how difficult . His IQ really shows , Amazing talent and blessed soul .
Hats off in admiration for the innovators playing their unique styles and expanding the world of bass, but I'm always blown away at how Charles seems to play a clearer, cleaner version. Charles, you are a monster talent and a pioneer the instrument of BASS. Eleven out of ten from me.
On one hand, he has the homefield advantage. It's his video, his studio, and you're comparing him to these older videos ripped from youtube or wherever else. On the other hand, Charles is an *incredible* bass player and producer, and better at sound engineering than some pro sound tech's I've seen. I don't know what black magic DAC he's got, but even the best audio equipment won't save you if you aren't also an amazingly clean musician.
Charles knows his music, knows his audience, and is indeed a performer. But that smile in the middle of a groove - that's the real deal - no faking that. Slap on son.
Holy shit, your version of I can't hold no groove has blown me away. It really caught me and I felt it could go on vor ever. Absolut remarkable job. Outstanding Sir, outstanding
my fav part is the final.. 10 years ago playin like victor.. you did improve a lot.. even if you were a beast already no matter how good we think we are.. we have always room for growth keep growin beautiful people, never stop practising
The slide at 4:21, the attention to detail with the camera work, I am going to have to take a break for a bit after that, unbelievable. Thank you so much for doing these. You are definitely a top dude.
Davies solo was my favorite. Sometimes letting that offbeat silence cement the funk is the best sound above how technical it is. Loved your interpretation of it too, your bass guitar always sounds so clean.
Dude, you killed 'U can't hold no groove'. I know how hard it is to play songs, let alone solos from the great Victor Wooten. That guy just breathes bass!!
Honestly, all three have something special! Wooten: phenomenal groove and that "funn(k)y noise" you do gets me every time! 😁 Ida: really compliments your ability to play clean and tight. 💪 Davie: fun and catchy. And of course 'the licc'! 😎
It's hard to say this about Victor, but you definitely improved all three of the solos with your own touches! If you aren't in the top 10 bassists of all time I'll eat an old hat!
Great technique, Fantastic technique, but more importantly and very pleasingly, you are very natural and practical in your presentation and dialogue that doesn't' frighten people away. Also, nice to see that British people can be ultra funky too. Love it.
You, Charles Berthoud, are an amazingly talented and blessed bassist, I love and appreciate your gift and how you share it with Bassists the world over!
I'm a retired pro drummer. I've worked with some great bass players in my time, but you are fantastic. Very impressive. How about a Dixie Dregs tune? !
This is the 1st time listening to you I genuinely must say your amazing! I don't say this lightly I've been playing for 40 years (drums) taught by the best and amongst brilliant musicians so I believe I can say, the way you changed davie 504's version was laid back made to look easy love it thank you!
I want to know how you all do the low notes plus the 5th fret harmonics so cleanly! WOW! I've never seen that technique before. I would love to see a video just on that. Clearly there must be some kind of way to push down on the lower string while keeping that finger above where the harmonics need to be played. Just a fantastic video all the way around! I'm jealous: You get to show off some of our century's (and last century's) best bass players, then play their stuff, adding your own twist to them. Mad respect for all of you!
Cool , a Lefay Bass . I am living 25 km away from the manufacturing company . They have an incredible good quality and reputation . Nice to see this :-)

The Victor Wooten one was the most special one to me he's a good friend of mine and you did a great job nailing his style, and the others also too but wooten's was the most favorite. Riki Navada
Man all three of these were badass. I’d love to see you do a funkier version of Stu Hamm’s Linus and Lucy or maybe slap version of Teen Town by Weather Report!

Dude your. Your. First. 10 seconds. Into. The tune. Brutal bass. With everything. Else that fallowed. Keep it funky because you. Totally. Inspierd me thankvyou
Ok, the Victor & Davie really did it for me, I loved both those grooves the best! I am going to say, you are probably the WORLDS BEST BASSIST right now! You seem to be able to do it all. You deserve HUGE recognition for your style, skill & tone, you play beautifully. Please teach me. AMAZING!!!!!!!
Brother....I'm very impressed with every solo . I started at 15 with a f hole hollow body cheapo bass . Les really impressed me and I started slapping and popping....I think you could replace Les in a second . I hope he's watching this and is shaking in his boots.....lol Kudos , your rig sounds amazing , so clean yet rich .
I think the Victor wooten solo was my favourite. So funky. I honestly think you are better than them all ! My bass deficiency is no longer after watching this and my mental state has definitely been lifted lol!
I've been playing bass a long time and I'm still awful at it. Watching these videos makes feel like my dog watching videos about quantum physics. It's so out of my realm of understanding I can't wrap my head around beginning to be able to play like this.
I used to think I was a good bass player when I was in my prime, other bass players would tell me that anyways, but this dude, I mean it's beyond words. I'm still in bass kindergarten compared to this guy.
Yesss, finally, I was looking for this video where you cover the SLAPP. It’s so interesting to compare you two. Take same amount of talent and put it into totally different circumstances and we’ve got you two. To me you sound the best when you play together. But I would love to see a colab where you are together live and just compare techniques. Davie could use someone to pull him out of his comfort slap zone and experiment a little. Every time he threw bit of tap or even rare harmonics into a song it sounded beautiful. We need more of that. You would be great for that job. And he seems to be that kind of a guy who gets better with every new technique. God, you two could change the world! It’s a shame you’ll never gonna see this but just in case you do, I’ll leave it out here. Here’s to new Victor Wooten and uh, whoever Davie resembles the most! 😊
viktor's soul and energy and flair especially that single stop note on the end of the first bars tho is soo satisfying. Your takes are perfect to the T. mesmerizing. I subbed.
Which solo was your favourite? 👇🏻
Hey Charles! When you change the tuning on your bass do you tune the strings up or down?
@@Nathan_North Depends on what tuning I'm going into. I generally just go for whichever one is closest and try not to tune up too high coz I might break the strings 🤣in that case I'd just put thinner strings on.

Actually, so many of these songs *are* simple -- just played at a virtuoso level! 🙂
The Davie504 solo you did was so incomprehensibly clean. But with all the solos, the longer I think about your technique the more impressive it gets

You know you're a good bass player when you can embellish and improvise over a legendary Vic Wooten song and actually have it fit and sound good.
Holy shit, your version of I can't hold no groove has blown me away. It really caught me and I felt it could go on vor ever. Absolut remarkable job. Outstanding Sir, outstanding
What I am more impressed about is how you have mimicked each bassists tone on your 1 bass. Great job dude!
Posting videos of him 10 years ago, just to prove he is not an alien from planet BASS !! GOAT

Yes he is. I suggest you also to watch video of DAVIE 504 and you will be inspired by both.
How's the bass playing going?
Hey man its been half a year are u any good yet
Legitimately can’t believe Victor Wooten is real that guy has unchecked levels of funk
that is a great way to put it lol
As an alright guitarist that loves shredding guitar solos..
