Hopefully its somewhat obvious that framing it as a "battle" or competition is only to hype it up a bit, but this is properly more of a duet than a battle in any sense- they clearly have coordinated to compose the music they're going to be playing, so its a far more of a cooperative or collaborative effort than a combative or competitive one. Talking about it as a "battle" just makes it a little more spicy, mostly for the non-musicians or non-bass players I would imagine.
And of course, one was tapping a guitar while the other one was tapping a bass. You can’t compare…all you could do was SHARE! And they were BOTH magnificently played!
Can we all just take some time out of our day to agree that Charles definitely deserves all the subscribers he's been getting recently, so glad he's taking off.
@@tomamps2694 well, that's sort of my point. Why make the title of the video misleading? clearly, they're both exceptional artists giving each other exposure in within their respected countries...
True, and different tone changes were different phases and the really deep lofi one was a mid battle cutscene of the bosses life that was sad and explains his motive
they prolly only need another 6-7 years to get to the pro level. ]Good effort by both lets keep supporting them. often people give up at this stage hope they succeed...
I've got to admit, watching Davie504 is what got me on to you. So glad I found you on here. Your content is amazing and creative. Also, shout out to Ichika Nito. You two rocked this one.
You definitely have some competition here, the guy is extremely talented ... His knowledge of chords scales and harmonics are superb, as well as his timing ..... I didn't see this as a battle, I saw this as two extremely talented musicians in harmony together .... Harmonious synchronicity in plain sight. Beautifully played both of you 🎸
Here they are. Two people from different parts of the world. Different language, different culture, yet through music they are united. Music is truly an amazing gift to mankind.
Ichika's reactions to the bass tapp: 0:41 - Okay that's pretty cool, I guess. 0:52 - What? I never knew bass could do that. Alright, alright, I can roll with that. 1:08 - Damn, that's tight he could keep up with the jam like that. Goddamn that exit was dirty. 1:16 - I'm taken by the groove. 1:28 - I can join in too :) 1:56 - Hell yeah 2:04 - Jesus what the fuck? 2:16 - Impressive, but I got this 2:28 - Okay cool; we're getting a little faster
There shouldn't be a winner. This is a hell of a collaboration. Not enough credit goes to either of these two musicians. It was so musical and well thought out. The harmonies went to so many different places and all the colors of the rainbow were used. Bravi!
Two of my favourite musicians on TH-cam having a tap battle.. The bass god that is Charles vs the ethereal guitar angel Ichika. How did I miss this video 3 years ago!?
Apart from this amazing duet/battle of the titans, I loved the little inadvertent cameo from 'Mr 504' at the 20 second mark. Unintentional, but definitely the icing on the cake for me! Keep up the great work Charles.
AWESOME! This was absolutely what we needed. It's like a street bass fighter around the world, we have you from uk, davie from italy, ichika from japan... i'm looking foward to see the other fighters hehe. Excelent job!
Wtf, I used to like Davie and will always like him, but this god damn bassist has another level on bass. I been watching Davie video recording him playing bass and yes, it's verified as PRO! BUT this battle with Ichika Niko is damn great. I feel like he's playing guitar on a bass. Mind blowing!!!! Hats off to both of you.
lemakeup13 Davie is a pretty impressive bassist as well, but he doesn’t focus on the music itself so much, Davie has a stronger entertainer and meme culture approach while Charles has a more technical and musical approach to his channel. But Davie also has his moments playing really hard bass pieces when he has to. He just rarely shows his full skill set ;) th-cam.com/video/Hg6xcdvNOag/w-d-xo.html here for example he shows that he actually has these skills, his musical style is just different. Charles plays more like a classical musician
Davie is a great player, I wish he had more of his music on there. Like the would tour videos where he just mostly plays, EPICO. Memes? Not so much love for those. I come to Charles channel to hear great music played by fantastic musicians.
@@harpingon when Davie plays, it's phenomenal. He's the king of FUNK. His riffs are so funky and fresh blows my mind. Like when he plays with a pick video
So it's been several days... The "melody" (?) at 1:16 and 1:23 and 2:40 and especially 2:51 have been popping into my head nonstop, more than any other thing I've heard or practiced. This song might actually be great. We need more of it. At the very least, I'd love a "behind the scenes" to know how collaborations like this come together. Who writes what? Who sends what to the other person? How are dreams made real?
Yes because he was already dead due to Davie's Holy Slapp. It was necromancy of the sub counts that brought him back to life but he never had his original soul back. He came back as a monster. As a demon. The TAPP DEMON.
wooaahhhh duddeeee that last bass part is simply insane that's coming from a 27 year flamenco guitar player. im a massive fan of wooten and even thou this is only tapping its just on another level, i have watched this video at least 15 times its simply insane. SUBSCRIBED!
Dude, I can finally die in peace. This was absolutely the best collab I could have ever wished for. Thank you so very much for bringing me this joy, Charles! Great probs to both of you
Oh my God I am so shook right now. I can't believe and am so happy that he actually made this "battle" into a song. I am in tears right now Thank you Charles for making this masterpiece into a song
They're using Touhou-based chord progressions all throughout the track (bVI - bVII - i, bVI - bVII - v, or any of the chords above with occasional bIII and in varying orders).
@@Brandon_Tyr, I'm not so sure. I just recognised it as a Touhou reference because of the theme of the video. Mario progression was bVI bVII I (major) so that might be sort of similar.
Wow. This was one of the most enjoyable music type of videos I have ever watched on TH-cam. And I watch way, way too many of them. The lightning-over-fingers visual effects at the end along with the song incredibly morphing into a guitar and bass tapping duet had me laughing out loud while being dumbfounded by the musicianship and coolness of the song.
