Man... When you started playing this "fave song of yours" I suddenly remembered a horrible nightmare that I had recently. It was a life and death situation (in my dream) and I had to play the piano and I forgot how to do it. It's a weird dream for me cause I have not played the piano for years.
Years ago I was a bassist in a band where drummer was always soloing and guitarist refused to learn theory and played only riffs in whatever keys. And I played only in C-major. I'm sure we sounded horrible, but we still had fun and that was what mattered.
Oh, yeah, Steve Vai and Marty Friedman were telling me about that kind of person when we were jamming. Dang, I must have lost the picture of our session. 😉
The keyboard effects at 2:24 are a nostalgia overload to being in school music lessons! Every 'composition' would involve putting on one of the drumbeat presets and spamming all the worst effects. Not heard those particular ones in many years.
Lol. I guess I'm number 8, but in my defense, I tune faster and better by ear (that is, when other people will shut the hell up for 5 seconds). Also, I'm really not into the 440Hz standard, but I do get dragged into it at times. Oh yeah ... here's one you forgot (which is also me): the guy who insists on figuring out every cover song by ear rather than looking up tabs or score for it.
@@SamsonDerrer oh most definitely the one in the back playing the sweet child o mine lick 🤣 don't have the musical wisdom to reharmonize nor the confidence to do it without knowing nearly any theory
@@marlonmontelhiggins8570 , It’s gone. I filed a complaint with TH-cam. Charles has (had?) an impersonator, using his image and his name. That account had left over 230 comments on this video, trying to trick people into thinking that Charles was replying to them.
I can so relate to 2. I played in this international church and we’d play these straight 4/4 rocky songs, but the African drummers would insist on giving it an offbeat, even reggae, feel. Was really annoying at the time because the riffs I prepared would no longer match the new groove of the song, but now I look back and just think it’s really funny 😂 loved those guys, real talents
Last band I was in had two guitarists. Therefore, there were always two guitars going - during songs and between songs. My keyboard solos were never without an accompanying guitar solo. No dynamics in that band, the guitarists had no idea how to back off and let anyone else shine for even a few seconds.
As a guitarist I can say that most just don't understand letting songs breath. It's like they're playing the floor is lava, but instead of the floor it's silence.
Man! The drummer who likes to change the feel/beat of the song every minute and the guy who never learns the song! If only I got a dollar for each time I played a gig with those two!
Yep my last f**king drummer. After a few years of that I sent him a insulting drunken text at 2am and he quit the band in a rage and the B grade back up singer he'd brought into the band quit in solidarity. I was so relieved
It's a piece called Highland Dream by Charles, or known as the Medieval tuning video on this channel. It's a bit older now but still always refreshing to hear it
I love your combination between comedy and freaking AWESOME bass skills! Your video's are very entertaining! Also, you should do another bass challenge video soon. They're really fun to watch and I would love to compete!
I can relate to almost all those! The main offenders are guitarists and bassists who noodle while you’re talking the band through a tricky change that needs EVERYONE’S attention.
Number 7…Highland Dream. One of my all-time favorite songs ever. I love that style. The Fable EP is just incredible. Yeah yeah perfect pitch joke whatever but THAT SONG (and that reference) man, I loved being reminded of it.
My dad is a guitarist, and whenever we try to play a song (I play piano/kb), we always end up arguing because he solos on and on and ON. I love my dad tho
There's an entire class (no pun intended) of other types in junior high band (/orchestra/choir): * That one person that always overdresses * The wind player emptying their instrument way too often * The person reading a book during tacit parts (and...when they're supposed to be playing, especially entrances...) * The one who always talks when the director stops the group * The class clown/goof-off * The flirt * The showoff (usually the same one who plays the solos without being asked) ... the list goes on 😫/ 🤣 Of course I've never been any of these types
I still have nightmares of the eye contact guy. *Lord Vinheteiro playing the piano while starting at the camera the entire time intensifies* And strangely that nightmare sometimes involves a rubber chicken that can sing.
1:35 But that tune was in B... Also, I tend to tune out people's speaking pitches, but I used to get asked A LOT about what pitch I heard random non-musical sounds make.
You are fantastic. By the way, most of the bassists I had a chance to play with are crazy about fucking around autistically with their basses while the other guys discuss an issue. Just unbelievable.
Thank you for doing the eye contact guy! I see it from time to time. It always creeps me out. And then after the jam session they're totally normal!!! It's one of life's great mysteries.
The 12th one is so relatable. Everyone who ever played in a band knows that one bassist who tries to sell piano learning apps to his bandmates ... Also I love the drumstick you use!
That was great! Im the perfect pitch guy but introverted in my reactions unless im with another person with perfect pitch. It ruins my enjoyment of a lot of music and its not really a choice, however i have practiced for many thousands of hours with tuners so that only reinforced it. 20+ years past that and i can still identify the note but its more like math* because i can always hear a b flat in my head, and figure it out from there whereas before i didnt even have to think about it. -former musician
I've also met one extra type of Musician - Those who don't play evenly and tell you that you don't play evenly In my 13 years career I think I've met all of them :D Thanks for the video!
A vocalist who is always late to a soundcheck A guitarist with more than 10 pedals A bassist wearing slippers on a concert A bassist turning everything into (choose) korn or slipknot A drummer without his own cymbals
My bandmates & other musicians I’ve jammed with consider me the “perfect pitch elitist” cuz somehow I’m able to hear pitch in even the slightest noises like a lawn mower blowing or a glass clinging. At times it gets annoying being considered for this but it’s helped me in the long run I guess… Thanks 4 posting 👍
I learned about your channel a month ago and bought my first bass after playing guitar for over a decade, your music is fantastic (and love that it's on Spotify) - question, have you turned that "Eye Contact Guy" riff into a full song or full video? I heard it at the end of one of your fretless bass metal videos and it's been in my head ever since!
I'm glad I've never been any of these; when I've rehearsed in bands, the only instrument I've ever "played" is my voice, and I would always get to rehearsal early so I could warm up beforehand.
4. My brother and I would be obnoxious on our instrument (guitar for me/drums for him) when trying to get each other’s attention. Pinch harmonics plus feedback was my go to..he would drop the snare lever and release the trash can snare.

Man saria song from ocarina of time is the only piano song I can play. Actually its the only song I can play period 🤣🤣🤣
13. The drummer playing when you are trying to tune your instrument.
Every time 🤣
Definitely not me 😳
What is tuning?
Seems you are the one who doesn't own a tuner 😅
That's every drummer ever lol
Years ago I was a bassist in a band where drummer was always soloing and guitarist refused to learn theory and played only riffs in whatever keys. And I played only in C-major. I'm sure we sounded horrible, but we still had fun and that was what mattered.
I first read this as "drummer was always sobbing" and it made me laugh. :)
My collage band was same. Not very good technic. Though, we were having much fun
Ya, being annoying/annoyed doesn't always conflict with having fun.
@Brian Baker Yeah, the guitarist was always riffing and the drummer couldn’t handle it so he always just started sobbing
@@aidanmahoney9865 Bless him. My thoughts and prayers go out to him.
You forgot one Charles: The Guy Who Name Drops Every Well Known Musician With Whom He Has “Jammed” But Can’t Prove It!
Haha so true 🤣
That make me laugh and cringe at the same time. I'm soooo guilty of that! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh, yeah, Steve Vai and Marty Friedman were telling me about that kind of person when we were jamming. Dang, I must have lost the picture of our session. 😉
@@lancerigby3662 I definitely did not also feel that same way when reading this comment😅
I’ve played with somebody like this, lol.
Not gonna lie the conflict between Nothing Else Matters and the Bass solo went so well, clashing made perfectly. Cheers as always Charles
The keyboard effects at 2:24 are a nostalgia overload to being in school music lessons! Every 'composition' would involve putting on one of the drumbeat presets and spamming all the worst effects. Not heard those particular ones in many years.
I immediately thought of the episode of "Friends" where Ross performed on his keyboard. Hands down, some of the funniest scenes of the entire series.
School music lessons, having to learn to play Axel F and the Terminator theme, but ending up with a poor improv of the start of the Jaws theme

Did I miss any? I'm probably the first guy but sometimes I'm number 5 🤣
Probably... I imagine we all have our days 🙂
i would add: the two members who constantly argue over whether something is or is not jazz
The guitarist that constantly changing his equalizer/effect settings
I'm probably all of that combined Lol!
Lol. I guess I'm number 8, but in my defense, I tune faster and better by ear (that is, when other people will shut the hell up for 5 seconds). Also, I'm really not into the 440Hz standard, but I do get dragged into it at times.

1:45 "Also, your microwave beeps at a slightly flat G#:"
Comedy gold. Outstanding (and relate-able) video.
Wait, the reharmonization on 2:57 was actually pretty freaking awesome. That one chord just hit right
Ope, we know which one you are hahaha
@@SamsonDerrer oh most definitely the one in the back playing the sweet child o mine lick 🤣 don't have the musical wisdom to reharmonize nor the confidence to do it without knowing nearly any theory
THATS WHAT IM SAYI
It sounded a bit sinister i would say, a little bit close to inception's chord progress
everyhting was literally out of tempo
As someone with perfect pitch... i can say that I am definitely like number 7 😅. Also the piece is in B major 🎉 1:29
no way i got perfect pitch too. of course i never tried seriously learning my instruments but i can play a small bit of cool stuff :p
Okay, Number 5--the Eye-Contact Guy--hit me kind of hard as I realized I've often done that when playing with others. Guilty as charged. 😄
Me to😂
I am a mediocre bass player who only plays on Sunday at church and I’ve seen half of these. Great stuff.
Scammer ‼️ alert.
We have an impersonator.
@@SuziQ. - Explain.

1:24 what a relaxing music, I LOVE IT
he already did a full version of it, it's called highland dream

No one can avoid african syncopation. It'll rule the world.
@@Leonecta While the Borg may have been fictional, resistance to African syncopation IS futile!
This one actually made me lol a bunch of times. Thanks, Charles!
1:34 Ironically, he was actually playing that in B major, not Bb major.
I was gonna say that! He must have done it to annoy us lol
Perfect pitch guy is here
0:42. The noodle soup folks “quit noodling and listen, ya rude puck!”
2:07
That one is so painful
Charles attempting to inject humor into his remarkable skill is a good thing, for I'm all of those bass players he mentions. Lol

Yo Charles I’ve been subbed to your for abt 2 years now. Every vid I watch is so funny and relatable
The one who cancels practice at the last minute or just doesn't show up
Yep my last f**king drummer. After a few years of that I sent him a insulting drunken text at 2am and he quit the band in a rage and the B grade back up singer he'd brought into the band quit in solidarity. I was so relieved
We had practice?
THANK YOU for this. I freaking love when you do comedy skits, Charles. I had a really hard day and this really cheered me up. 🙏
Charles please do a full cover of whatever song you were playing in 7. (the perfect pitch dude), it sounded gorgeous 🙌🤩

There is a great jungle/d’n’b artist called Adam F, just thought to say. The song ”Circles” is gorgeous.
The harmonics on the perfect pitch one are amazing
How do you know if a singer has perfect pitch? Oh, don't worry; they'll tell you... over and over and over...
Can you imagine a singer with perfect pitch who is also a vegan?!?
@@gwts1171 I don't need to imagine one; I've met a couple of them. lol

Charles could you do a breakdown of the riff you play at 0:27 - 0:38 and 0:54 - 1:07? That thing is addictive and catchy AF!!
And with eye contact, please! :-D :-D
I was scrolling comments only for this! Yet it sounds like I’ve heard it somewhere
I can relate to almost all those! The main offenders are guitarists and bassists who noodle while you’re talking the band through a tricky change that needs EVERYONE’S attention.
The eye-contact guy was the funniest 🤣
1:09 this is the most goofiest Charles we will ever see 😂😂
You forgot the phone scroller guy who constantly needs to be reminded that we're taking the next song now!
I’m so glad that we didn’t have cellphones back then. Our lead singer would have been “that guy” (when he showed up for band practice).
The unbroken eye-contact guy lives in my nightmares
1:24 Is there a full version of this? It's amazing.
Nobody put attention to the beautiful song on the 1:23 ???? I LOVE ITTTT, Hey Charlie, can you make the full version of it???? It's beautiful 😍
1:24 I have perfect pitch and this is 100% accurate, I just wish I could play like that
Number 7…Highland Dream. One of my all-time favorite songs ever. I love that style. The Fable EP is just incredible. Yeah yeah perfect pitch joke whatever but THAT SONG (and that reference) man, I loved being reminded of it.
That was brilliant, Charles. Love the use of editing effects.

I really think that's a good thing you played there mate🔥I wish you make a full song
2:19 This is just a classical pianist dropped into a band. What are all these buttons?😂 We’re just so surprised with every sound that comes out haha
My dad is a guitarist, and whenever we try to play a song (I play piano/kb), we always end up arguing because he solos on and on and ON. I love my dad tho

Some musicians just don't take themselves too seriously. This describes Charles and I commend him for it.
The perfect Pitch Elitist's song sounded so pretty, like a bass counterpart to Rob Scallon's ''Anchor''
The eye contact one killed me, it's so bloody true ! haha !
Man you are are great. My daughter seeing you playing she wants to learn bass. Thank you. She loves music too much. Keek the good work.
Goddamn I'm not even mad about this being a vid for an ad.
Flowkey better pay you extra for this masterpiece
THE EYE CONTACT GUY IS MY FAVOURITE! 😭😂
I love the vibes of those guys, haha!
The thumbnail screams..."is this serial killer in your hometown? More on this tonight at 10"

Q: How many lead singers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: Just one to hold it still and the whole world revolves around him.

At this point I'd love to have #6, instead I get singers that don't warmup at all and can't sing for more than 1/2 hour
Yes!!
especially when the singer is a smoker xD
The add was smooth af, damn!
he really saved the worst for last with the ad read, funny as hell man
I love your vids keep up the good work
Absolutely f***ing hilarious! 😂😆🤣 This really hit home. Especially #9 and #10
the 7 string guitar is a cultured descision
I dont think I ever feared something as much as the eye contact guy. 😂

This is reminding me so much of twoset’s old skits. I miss them so much 😢
I'm definitely no.9. and have switched sounds on that keyboard too. I recognise those tones, the Yamaha DJX.
I laughed out loud at many of these, great characters!
Okay but the solo on number one was genuinely incredible
13. The one that doesn't even appear
The Eye Contact guy made me actually drool laugh. 😂
