You do know he records things first then mimes to them for the videos, right? There's no way he is actually that smooth with the transitions and the looper pedal
@@johnpeace971 you only have to click a button man and it's not like he has to walk down the road to get to the guitar, I'd challenge you on that mime call John. Peace.
I loved the modulations over the vamp during the 1:20 - 1:25 range. More of this artistry please! It's a small thing to most listeners, but it's next level when you add that tasty phrasing to your outstanding technique and funkiness.
Little did everyone know, Charles is an AI depiction, generated from 1000 different bass players, mashed into one, by an evil record company trying to take over the Musical Universe! Great job as always!!
Well kids, this is what years and years of practice and dedication to your instrument can do for ya. Not to mention shit tons of natural talent. Not many people invest themselves like this man has so what you have here is probably one of the best musicians on this here planet. #RESPECT
As a TH-cam premium member I love it that when I ask Google to play some random music, be it in the car, at the gym, your music now comes up Charles. Love it. Thanks for all you do.
what most ppl probably dont realize is how the difference in size of the frets & strings requires the hand to adapt. Charles able to shift between both so seamlessly really showcases his massive skill 🔥
I've been playing professionally for 45 years. I've played with some amazing performers. You are on another level. What god has given you he could have split between 4 guys and had an incredible band. You have been truly blessed. I wish I wasn't so old. I'd like to see where you end up. Funk on Charles.
Having a headless for such a beast of an instrument is the best idea tbh. Saves on weight and vastly improves tuning stability. Awesome playing as always Charles 🤜🤛
Again Charles, thank you so much for sharing your insane talent - I'm not exaggerating, you brighten our day in an otherwise rather troubled and uncertain world. God bless you!
The fingestyle groove you played ... astonishing! It reminded me that... Ok tapping is great, ok slap is funktastic... but the good old fingerstyle grove really wants me to sing and dance! Just wonderful!
One of my favorite videos of yours is showing your progression as a bass player over the years. Seeing you play guitar and bass in this video makes me wonder if you could contrast what skills you would have if you had played guitar instead for your whole life. "15 years playing bass vs 15 years playing guitar"
I was having a string of bad days, then you go and drop something incredible this one and make me crack a smile. It's not the first time you've given me a lift. Thanks Charles!
100 years from now, your name will be LEGEND! You are ultra talented. As much as I love your videos, I also hope you leave some tracts (with your signature sound) for future generations to enjoy. Thanks for great videos.
Thanks for the discount Charles! I bought Fortin Cali Plugin and I'm quite happy with it! Finally getting a very nice sound of my Fender Strat equipped with EMG-DG20 when playing trough computer only, using external audio interface 👍❤️
"Do you think he plans it all out, or just makes it up as he goes along?" I'm convinced Charles is an Isekai character from D&D and is a Master Class Bard.
Piece feels like Joe Dart, another like Victa, another some like Ichika Nito. Some like Stanley Clarke. And this Kirk Franklin’s „Allways” lick at the end! ❤ This mix should be on 2023’ podium!
I was way more impressed watching that than I was when I first saw Steve Vai's Teeth of the Hydra video (which I was very impressed by at the time). You'd have no trouble playing Steve's Hydra Charles 👏 🤘
The two hands playing the frets at the same time heavily reminded me of Geddy Lee, I got to watch him do exactly that live (granted on one fret board but you get the idea). He also once played bass left handed, keyboard right handed, and sang all at the same time, up for a challenge Charles? I bet you could do it too!
The beginning of this vividly reminds me of the keys solo in “the shadow” by garaj mahal. Charlie if you don’t know this tune, I can tell you will love it. In that tune it opens with synth then goes in to keyboard. Give it a listen, they’re savages, and of you are to too bruh, ahh 😩 so sick
I love that 6-string soprano bass as the second neck. Sounds amazing as always Charles!
I thought that was a short scale piccolo bass?
how do you even soprano-bass?
I thought it was just a guitar neck
@@jamessteele3093it’s literally just a guitar and a bass 😂 it’s amazing by the way but I don’t see a 6 string bass
@@kane6529 it's supposed to be a joke referring to Davie 504 that says for example that piano is a 88 strings bass
Charles your back and forth is AMAZING you'd swear their were two of you. The arrangement sounds amazing! ❤
Thanks!
Just when I thought I’d seen everything. Charles goes and proves me wrong!
@@CharlesBerthoud Full albums of your arrangements when? I need this shit pumped directly unto my ear holes for hours on end.
You do know he records things first then mimes to them for the videos, right? There's no way he is actually that smooth with the transitions and the looper pedal
@@johnpeace971 you only have to click a button man and it's not like he has to walk down the road to get to the guitar, I'd challenge you on that mime call John. Peace.
the double neck tapping was actually the craziest piece of musicianship ive seen since idk when
Since never.
Since Steve Vai released that hydra
Supplying both the Funky Guitar rhythm and the Slap Bass! A one man funk band indeed! Cheers as always man

🤓
That whole sequence really stood out. Great stuff.
This is unreal man. I can't believe how this guy continues to improve. It's setting an unprecedented level. 😂
On top of mastering his instrument, Charles's musical creativity in all genres never cease to amaze me.
Little did everyone know, Charles is an AI depiction, generated from 1000 different bass players, mashed into one, by an evil record company trying to take over the Musical Universe! Great job as always!!
In that case, I for one, welcome our new ai robot music overlords.

A very Vulfpeck/Joe Dart vibe, and I'm diggin' it.
You see....this guy isn't all just slap and tap. His regular finger style playing is phenomenal as well..
Give us a full length album on this style! This was one of your best ones yet, please consider, pretty please.
I don't often comments, but this was gorgeous. Especially that part that starts at 1:05
You have inspired me so much as a musician Charles, you just keep leveling up! Your drive and perseverance is something everyone can learn from.
Sounds like a Vulfpeck song. Major Joe Dart vibes from that starting bassline :)
Oh no wonder, it’s a Cory Wong plug-in.
@@Anubis_YT 😄
Sounds like Stevie wonder is what it sounds like
It's a Cory Dart
Next stop, Dean Town
LOVED the fingerstyle solo on bass!! So Vulfpeck-ish and so nice
As a TH-cam premium member I love it that when I ask Google to play some random music, be it in the car, at the gym, your music now comes up Charles. Love it.
Thanks for all you do.
One man Wulfpeck! Outstanding!
what most ppl probably dont realize is how the difference in size of the frets & strings requires the hand to adapt. Charles able to shift between both so seamlessly really showcases his massive skill 🔥
1:20 My jaw just dropped at this part. One of my favorites of yours yet!
I've been playing professionally for 45 years. I've played with some amazing performers. You are on another level. What god has given you he could have split between 4 guys and had an incredible band. You have been truly blessed. I wish I wasn't so old. I'd like to see where you end up. Funk on Charles.
YOU are the all time Funk Master! I don't think the instrument matters as much. Thanks!
Sounds like vulfpeck bassline, this is next level talent
When you have too much talent, you need at least a two necks instruments. As always the musicality of your creations is spot on ! Ty for sharing.
Lol playing on the top neck looks super uncomfortable. Good stuff as always chuck.
Haha honestly it's pretty uncomfortable to play overall 🤣
Being uncomfortable is a small price to pay for being this funky
Having a headless for such a beast of an instrument is the best idea tbh. Saves on weight and vastly improves tuning stability. Awesome playing as always Charles 🤜🤛
I’m amazed at how much quality content this dude puts out in such a short time span.
This would make Stevie Wonder proud! Excellent as usual, bud! 🤘🎸🤘
I agree. Wish he could see it.
@@finner3619 bet Wonder also wanted to be able to see
Yep, he didnt even see this one coming..
I was just looking at this guitar online yesterday, and it's sound epic
I don't think it's the instrument that is absurdly funky it's the way YOU make it sound ... as usual, you da man!! Fantastic job.
Uhuu 😊 Sonseira meu brother! Gostei dessa dupla verde esmeralda ! Show
I'm getting a ninety's sitcom-intro-vibe from this tune. Great playing and arranging as always.
This is insanely good. Dat 1364 chorus yum.
Again Charles, thank you so much for sharing your insane talent - I'm not exaggerating, you brighten our day in an otherwise rather troubled and uncertain world. God bless you!
The first bass groove with the octaved rhythm guitar....chills.
You really are so talented! I hope one day after enough practice I can at least come close to how great you are! Love the vids keep the great work up!
So good! Would love to see and hear you do a collab with Cory Wong or Vulfpeck someday!
The fingestyle groove you played ... astonishing!
It reminded me that... Ok tapping is great, ok slap is funktastic... but the good old fingerstyle grove really wants me to sing and dance!
Just wonderful!

You’re so good dude, literally, it’s a little scary
We're seeing double! Neck by neck finish hehe. Nice groove man keep it going!
Você não é humano!
Toca muito!!!!
That's amazing, you're the best YTber in all YT!!!
Cheeky nod to Victor Wooten's Amazing Grace right at the end there. Lovely
Amazing!!!! Could you do every 2nd Video with this cool instrument???? Please!!!!! Loved it❤
That 6 strings picolo bass sound great. Amazing job😅
Charles is really out here dropping banger after banger
"PLAY IT, BRIT BOY!" "PLAY IT!" "LOVE IT!" Great info on the tools used, Charels!
I was having a string of bad days, then you go and drop something incredible this one and make me crack a smile.
It's not the first time you've given me a lift. Thanks Charles!
wow, that double tap and the run around 1:30
100 years from now, your name will be LEGEND! You are ultra talented. As much as I love your videos, I also hope you leave some tracts (with your signature sound) for future generations to enjoy. Thanks for great videos.
Easy one, guitar wins! 😂🤘

Your skills are amazing as always, thank you!
love the key change and the "off key" notes. somehow every note he plays sounds perfectly placed.
Stuart Hamm and Victor Wooten approve of this. God Bless. AWESOME SONG!
I love the Vulf vibe!
Lol makes sense now, you're using the Cory Wong presets
Dude, that was so goood! I really dig the melodies here.
Where is the button to like every video you’ve ever made??? Seriously, one of my fav channels of all time. You da besssss
Very cool great groove and melodies
It’s crazy watching Charles grow as a musician. Crazy and beautiful.
Man I love when he is slapping and he does those tapping/glissandos on high notes (like at 0:33 for exemple).
I have eargasms everytime.
All I can say after watching this video is "WOW, absolutely Amazing"
Keep it up with more of these music videos.
"Do you think he plans it all out, or just makes it up as he goes along?" I'm convinced Charles is an Isekai character from D&D and is a Master Class Bard.
It's official. This video proves that Charles really is kool...
... and the gang.
Fantastic!! Such an awesome song to showcase your many talents.
Love this epic self playing bass technic while playing on the guitar above. Charles genius!
Vibe is straight outta the early 80s!!!! Sick.
THIS IS THE SINGLE GREATEST CHARLES BERTHOUD EVER PLEASE POST THIS
Piece feels like Joe Dart, another like Victa, another some like Ichika Nito. Some like Stanley Clarke.
And this Kirk Franklin’s „Allways” lick at the end! ❤
This mix should be on 2023’ podium!
So glad you took advantage of the tapping on the guitar part while rhythm on the bass
Dude, you are amazing! I love your videos!
You should try the FMguitars double neck basses, you could make such sick tapping with them!!
Amazing! Went from the perfect soundtrack for a strutting montage to the perfect soundtrack for holding hands on a swing set. Perfection!
Funky! And as always: well played, Sir. Love how you don’t just make tech demos, you always make music (which instruments should be about, I think).
1:22 perfeito uso da exafonica aí, simples, curto mas genial!
I was way more impressed watching that than I was when I first saw Steve Vai's Teeth of the Hydra video (which I was very impressed by at the time). You'd have no trouble playing Steve's Hydra Charles 👏 🤘
MAN! I was smiling the whole time!
1:20 is one of the best bass solos I've heard in my life
Funkalicuous Charles....love it 🤘🏼😈🤘🏼
I've never seen you playing an upright. I just love the tone of an upright and I would love to experience you nailing it!
Hand eye coordination to an extreme level, Fair Plays
Amazing job! The main bass riff sounds very Vulfpecky, a whole lotta funk!
sounds exactly like Casiopea, incredible as always Charles :)
I recon, Markus Miller would look at this an say, oh yeh !!!!
I’m just watchin an lost for words!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂
Short scale 6 string piccolo bass as the second neck? Sick!
Ah! What can one say abou this level of skill? Words are not enough. 👏👏👏👏
Straight up funky intro!!
PLEASE DO MORE LIKE THIS! AWESOME!
Compilation of a genius artist.. love hearing every beats
Man that sounds great... Never seen someone play bass and guitar at the same time
I always have to listen to Charles' songs more than once. Joyous.
another masterful and enjoyable video!
Just wow, I really enjoyed this on its entirety. So musically beautiful.
The two hands playing the frets at the same time heavily reminded me of Geddy Lee, I got to watch him do exactly that live (granted on one fret board but you get the idea). He also once played bass left handed, keyboard right handed, and sang all at the same time, up for a challenge Charles? I bet you could do it too!
The music for the new Mario Kart sounds great lol!
The beginning of this vividly reminds me of the keys solo in “the shadow” by garaj mahal. Charlie if you don’t know this tune, I can tell you will love it. In that tune it opens with synth then goes in to keyboard. Give it a listen, they’re savages, and of you are to too bruh, ahh 😩 so sick
I wanna smash the like button twice. For your techique, and for this melody )👍
Das ein Mensch zu so etwas fähig ist,ist mir unverständlich.👍
Thank you for continuing to bring some musical light to my dark days ❤
