What great sound! Composition and phrasing were especially fun to hear (and see) given the segmented nature of the battle! As an old bassist I say thanks for making this.
@@markredford84 I hope this otherwise pointless sarcasm helps you cope with your mental health issues. You really did shine your lack of civility, but being here is a good start, over time your bad attitude may improve. Get better soon!
@@markredford84 well done for correcting someone on something so minor for that little self-confidence boost you so desperately needed, your imaginary mom must be so proud of you
Could you imagine a full 90 minute concert? I'd be exhausted by the end just listening. I love playing bass. I have been playing for 38 years. I will never be this good. That's ok. I wiil keep on loving playing bass.
Years before I started playing bass, a friend told me “bass is probably the easiest instrument to learn to play, but it is one of the hardest to get good at.” Over fifteen years of playing, he’s definitely right.
@@sterlingmartin3212 Every instrument seems to have a plateau where you really don't feel like you're getting better for a long time. Just kind of doing the same thing for awhile and perfectly competent, but you're not really progressing. Bass is one of the hardest to be good at because its plateau seems much harder to break from than most instruments. Does that make sense? Not sure if I put that the best way possible.
I’m pretty certain this was originally said about the guitar many centuries ago. The guitar is the easiest instrument to learn, but one of the hardest to master. Except in Italian or German. I’d have to look it up.
Just started playing bass again after a four year break due to not being able to get my hands on an instrument, I've never been so simultaneously disheartened by lack of skill and also inspired to get back into playing as I was watching this video. Insane playing by both of you, truly virtuous musicians
After such brutal, vicious, and underhanded insults, battle was the only logical option. I mean, "I love your stuff?" What does that even mean!? Seriously, though. This was great!
2 of my absolutely favorite musicians. This was beyond stellar and i cannot wait for my daughter to get home from school to show it to her. i would freaking adore seeing an actual full on collaborative peace written and performed by the two of you it would be mind blowing. makes me want to be a much better musician then i am thats for sure. AWESOME!
I really like the structure of these battles as they show off different techniques while having the two people somewhat playing together and going back and forth quickly at times all leading into the final bit which is typically the craziest.
This was so enjoyable. You seem to be able to quickly understand each others musical language and I'm very curious what you'd come up with if you wrote a few tracks together for an EP or something.
This amazing sound made me wish I still played in a band. The synergy that comes from more than one instrument and the people behind those instruments working together is one of the best feelings. Thanks guys, for doing the work to make this look effortless.
All I can is AWESOME!!!! Both of you are outstanding guitarists. I don't think there is a winner here. I could listen to both of you all day. Thanks for the video and Happy Holidays.
This was an absolute pleasure to witness! I think that the thing all of us should take away from this is, that rather than saying "my favourite musician/band is better than your favourite musician/band"... imagine how amazing it could be, if they worked together to make a masterpiece using their skills together, especially when they're at the top of their respective games. Thank you Charles and Bernth. You made a disgracefully ageing rocker very happy 😊
I wish metallica and megadeth's singer and guitarist would do a collab sometime, I feel like they could make some masterpieces together. Too bad that has definitely never happened and never will.
more than being a VS. Sounds like a true collaboration of instruments and an example of how they should complement each other, awesome as always, thanks.
You guys are simply AMAZING!! I grew up learning from the greats,, Yngwie Malmsteen, Joe Satriani, George Lynch, etc but you guys have takin this even further and I love it!!
nice! did you film any of the behind the scenes for this? would love to see you guys jamming and the process of writing this! also, could quite hapily listen to a whole album colab!
Wow!!! Lots of Polyphia and Animals As Leaders here, with unmistakable Berthoud dreamy harmonies! There is the new sound of virtuoso rock. Wonderful collab, guys. With a little more production and mastering, that’s a legendary LP in the making!
Watching that made my whole day!! It’s rare to see a head to head battle end with two victors, but you both did (all while surviving an explosion no less)
Very impressive, can you do 10 levels of Nokia ringtone on bass. Or maybe do a slap bassline to all the bounce tale chapters. Parts of that battle were too funky, hats off to you. @CharlesBerthoud
bernth is one unravelled guitarist who stands out like Yngwie, ans so is Charles in bass. A rare and valuable video it is for guitar lovers. But not to compare them because guitar is more complete in itself whereas Charles can also take bass to almost guitar level. Great guys.
That part near the 3 minute mark was epic , it felt like fighting the last boss of a video game! Cheers to both of you guys , godlevel skills on each of your instruments .
Ok, this is rad. You are both at the bleeding edge of artistic skill, this collaboration was truly EPIC! The people want more of this due, please help us out!
Dayum, every time I think I've heard it all on your channel Charles, you come up with another mind blowing jam with some other amazing musician. You guys sounded great together, I do hope you'll collaborate with him again , that was a cooker!!
A truly epic battle like this can't produce a single winner... Although you could say that awsome music was the clear winner. Truly awsome musicians both of you.
The collective amount of hours of practice it took to get to this level....🤯 talk about discipline, dedication to the craft, and humility at that! Setting a great example for countless people. Amazing, guys...cheers to you both🍻🤘🏻
Bernth is an inspirational player, great teacher and excellent person. Always blown away by his playing. Charles is ok too I guess, for a bass player. 😉
Round 1: - Tap goes.....to guitar. Round 2: - Pick, goes to.....guitar. Bonus Swap: - Even Steven Matchup. All Out Technique: - HOW CAN THEY ROCK THIS HARD AND STILL BE EVEN!? Overall: I REALLY love Charles, his bass is immensely impressive. This feels so hard to give the win to, but.....I can't deny Bernth here giving it 100% and not pulling his technique. This is literal 99.99% vs 100%, where you HAVE to give a win to someone, and.....Bernth just knows his instrument just that little bit more, but Charles MADE him hit as hard as he gave, which is always what matters. Artists playing with that passion and fire, their skill and technique at peak.
Awesome demo!! I have been wanting to learn how to play bass but wasn’t too sure if they could be played the same. This demo clearly shows that it can. I personally love the sound of bass and the slap bass sound. I wonder if you have a full demo with a bass solo of day, Fleetwood Mac or something?
Not gonna lie when youtubers i already watch and respect do a collaborative vid I always watch and love them. I’ve even been introduced to channels I didn’t know that way always cool and great to see for the community.
Epic performance from Charles and Bernth, thank you guys. Watching Charles playing 6 string bass made me realize that he is actually holding back. If he played on 6 string bass the whole battle it would be hard tu keep up with him.
Two incredible musicians. Both playing completely different instruments although they may appear similar, they are different for a reason. Bass is so much better on a bass than guitar and likewise on guitar against bass. It's like comparing a bassoon to a flute or a piano to a harpsichord. Forget battles and consider harmony with other instrumentalists and make amazing music. 😍
Charles vs BERNTH and POLYPHIA feat. Steve Vai "Ego Death" are the best one-two punch I got since a long, long time. Feeling so good get SLAPPED by these guys' music. That was magnificent ! 🔥🔥🔥
Who should I battle next? 🤔👇🏻
Davie504 😇
With me :D
Victor wooten
twoset
Tim Henson?
Happy to report that I survived the explosion at the end 😂 Thanks for having me Charles, you are amazing!!🤘
How dare you…
Damn, he insults Charles again
What great sound! Composition and phrasing were especially fun to hear (and see) given the segmented nature of the battle! As an old bassist I say thanks for making this.
So disrespectful man...
now try going into the boss challenging Polyphia...cause as you know, Steve Vai just passed the throne from his kingdom to them.
The best part of this is that it ISN’T a battle. It’s an EPIC collaboration! Loved the instrument swap and the really cool composition as well!
Indeed!
I wish they didn't do the silly pretend-animosity around it, though.
Instead they should get a good drummer, and start a band.
Well done for seeing the obvious. Mum must be really proud of you
It is a battle, and the real winner is us all

So we're all winners? now that's what I call sportsmanship.

You two are literally some of the most technically skilled musicians I’ve ever seen.
So you have seen few musicians in your life.
@@josie1776 😂 right?
@@josie1776 good one.
@@SHx589 , Davie and Charles are outstanding, but there are plenty of musicians more skilled than these two.
I think the same that you
You guys need to collaborate on a single together. This was a REALLY good battle.
I second that!!! 👍👍
fuck that, they need to write an album together.
I'd buy their full length opus mangum extended edition with 8 hour commentary without hesitation
@@mr.jcanal9765 I'd buy there 4k quality blu ray live version of there full length album yo yeehaw!
I mean, c'mon. Imagine: "Hey, remember 1:05? Yeah. It's a full song now."
That would be sick.
Such epic playing between two professional musicians. You two were able to compliment each other beautifully.
That's what I'm thinking!
4 minutes of mental pleasure and admiration
amazing collaboration, the instruments swap was truly unexpected and flawless
Yes of yesss

Loved the swap. Never imagined both instruments could sound so clean while played like that.
As usual, Charles composition skills are out of this world. I'm honestly baffled he can produce such quality music so often
You guys really need to do an LP together. I'd listen to that for hours!
Amen.
This literally and figuratively gave me chills. Amazing performance to you both.
Both Bernth and Charles have met their match. Absolutely mad job lads!!
I really like the structure of these battles as they show off different techniques while having the two people somewhat playing together and going back and forth quickly at times all leading into the final bit which is typically the craziest.
What a legendary Battle this is! I didn't expect the two could come up with an extremely epic masterpiece in a short amount of time.
These guys should start a band.
I love you, Charles! You are the best. Can’t stop watching all of your content.
Thanks!

I had never heard of bernth the until now. Thanks yet again Charles! Bernth is awesome!
2 of my favorite musicians. This wasn't a battle, it was a complete war with no clear winner. This was fantastic. Thank you.
Wowzers! You both win, and so did all of us watching. 2 of my absolute favorite musicians, both with out-of-this-world levels of talent!

You both did AMAZING! Kudos to both of you.
more than being a VS. Sounds like a true collaboration of instruments and an example of how they should complement each other, awesome as always, thanks.
I loved that Bernth played lots of clean guitar! I usually watch his metal videos, but he plays also other styles! Congratulation to both!
You guys are simply AMAZING!! I grew up learning from the greats,, Yngwie Malmsteen, Joe Satriani, George Lynch, etc but you guys have takin this even further and I love it!!
You guys are both absolutely brilliant and very hard working! Thank you most sincerely! ❤️🌹❤️
Bernth probably survived, but I didn't.
The battle melted my face and you guys are simply otherworldly
nice! did you film any of the behind the scenes for this? would love to see you guys jamming and the process of writing this! also, could quite hapily listen to a whole album colab!
This is the best format for music, 2 great musicians responding to each other.
Wow, truly legendary battle! Thank you both for the craftsmanship and beauty. I mean "brutality and craziness", of course.
Holy shit this is some of the most epic music I’ve ever witnessed. Thank you so much
Charles, Would seriously love to see you & Bernth start up a band. It would be musical ecstasy.
Epic indeed. Surely one of the best collaborations I've seen until now.
Wow!!! Lots of Polyphia and Animals As Leaders here, with unmistakable Berthoud dreamy harmonies! There is the new sound of virtuoso rock. Wonderful collab, guys. With a little more production and mastering, that’s a legendary LP in the making!
Glad to see you solved your problems like we all should: with a battle so epic it ends in an explosion. Superb collab!!
AMAZING! Instant SUBSCRIBE to both channels! You two are a joy to watch and listen to!
Watching that made my whole day!! It’s rare to see a head to head battle end with two victors, but you both did (all while surviving an explosion no less)

You are both face meltingly phenomenal. It beggars belief. Bravo!
Very impressive, can you do 10 levels of Nokia ringtone on bass.
Or maybe do a slap bassline to all the bounce tale chapters.

First time I see, how you play with a pick! BRAVO!!
Man. Just clean. And I really enjoyed bernth's guitar tone. It was really nice.
I really love these collaborations.
