How well do they stay in your ears? I've had a problem with buds wanting to fall out.

Did you move out of England or something? I never see Red Squirrels here anymore!

This feels way more intimate than normal. Acoustic bass, one camera angle. Really showcasing how awesome you are at playing
I agree, but technically it’s two because of the pedal camera
@@BodaciousH specifically
agreed i like this more
and in single-take i believe
@@siotjew there could be some cuts when he goes to the pedal camera. But you still get long uninterrupted segments with no editing.
This looked exceptionally well crafted and intended, especially with the use of the acoustic bass. Always reinforcing that you are a one man band, Charles!
Thank you!
@@CharlesBerthoudI think this was exceptionally well crafted even for you, Charles.
100% agree! Fantastic job!
yeah wow, not only the creativity of what harmonies/intervals to play; but actually being able to physically move both hands to hit the frets and co-ordinate fingering is another story. he's a mentalist and hell of a composer..
@@shornoMALONEYI could practice for the rest of my life and never master this.
I bet Stevie didn't see it
It might just be the fact that I'm a massive fan of Stevie Wonder, but this is one of my favorite pieces you've ever done. Not too over the top, just a genuinely nice rendition of a legendary track. Love the acoustic as well!
Charles is so good, he has to compliment himself when he completes the song.
So you're saying he's the Chuck Norris of bassists? I'll support that.
Everyone else is in shock
True 😂
Inner Winston awakes
4 cuts? I find it insanely fascinating that this style of video - no headphones, nearly totally acoustic, and no editing cuts - really shows of your skills the best. And that is on top of the musicality! WOW!!!
I’ve been searching for bass covers to this song all day and no one could come close to the sound I wanted to hear.
Thank god I found it. This is perfect and you can tell this dude got some funk running through his blood.
This "one take" style works really well for you, would love to see more like this
Its amazing how you can make these songs sound so full with only one instrument
Really impressed how you nailed so much of the original straight, rather than just improvising a load of complex variations, which I suspect would have been easier, even if it sounded flashier.
A vintage "hardest song in the world" this time!
Charles makes any song impossible but he’s still able to play it! Awesome!
0:16 even the paper falling is on beat
I appreciate that a guy at your skill level still has to rely on bass face to get through.
One of my all time favorite riffs; I think I prefer the simplicity of the original, but I appreciate what you were doing with it here.
Also nice to see somebody flexing with an acoustic; they don't quite deserve the bad rap they get imo.
I watched it. Then I immediately watched it again. Incredible work, absolutely loved it!
4 strings making all that noise is just so darn cool to me, especially on the acoustic here. Another monster performance as usual, super inspiring man!
That acoustic gave the song more twang than it needed but I'm not complaining, it sounded good
And yet again I'm amazed at all the skills
I am always impressed by your endless ideas. The multitude of completely different melodies and licks is something for which I have no words. And you play so effortlessly. It is rare to see both hands so relaxed while playing. Truly amazing.
Hello from North Carolina. I've been playing the guitar since I was 8 years old and I'm now going on 55 years now and I've worked with and played with a LOT of good bass players in my life but you make them all look like beginners, and I'm talking about international bands which I've worked with, but again, you make them all look like beginners my friend!! I'd give anything to be able to play some good music with you. You should be in the Guinness book of world records! I'm as serious as a heart attack too!! I bet that if you entered a bass players contest all the rest of those who entered would pack up their gear and leave after hearing you play because they would know that they wouldn't even stand a chance at winning against you! Keep up the fantastic playing my friend!
Yep - this guy should be able to walk into any top band or be the bass player for any top act.
@@PianoVampire I agree 100%! He's no doubt one of the best bass players in the world!
Unbridled talent and a most humble attitude. A true professional, Charles.
NICE!!!
Well, you smoked that one! Beautiful!
Thank you!
Subscribed. 🌻
That was lovely, Charles! Thank you for covering one of my all-time favourites so wonderfully!
I've never seen someone with impressive thumb muscles, but 1:39 really showcases some amazing thumbceps
Charles, I’m in my sixties. You are truly one of the most accomplished musicians I’ve ever heard. You have mastered your craft and your instrument.
him saying "nice" at the end was an UNDERSTATEMENT! 🤯
One of the most impressive things I've seen in a while. Please include a version of this when you next release an album!
Got to say - I absolutely love this tune, this arrangement and this performance. Another to put on my personal playlist and run on repeat when I'm having to do some serious work.
How do you make an acoustic bass sound this good?!? I don't know what to say anymore 🤣🤣🤣
Right?
@@RenanRischiotto if it was mic'd up it would sound a lot worse than this. The bass probably has a pickup and it's being plugged into the DI of an interface. That's why you get no room noise.
That said, it still doesn't answer the basic question. I think the OP's question was more about technique than it was about how he recorded it.
Wow that was amazing
They’re are a lot of great Bass players and you are right up there with the best of them
This may be the greatest thing I've heard all year!! Awesome.
I’m very superstitious how anyone can be this talented. 👏
🤣thanks - it's mostly the 18 years of practice though!
I’m pushing 30 years of practice and based on this appear to be approx a light year behind you 🤣
@@JonnybassboyNo kidding. I'm in awe, even more than usual.
@@CharlesBerthoud Thousans of people counting on their fingers rn going "dammit!"
@@CharlesBerthoudit surely helps! 😊
It's like a magic trick. It almost doesn't make sense how it's possible.
Sweet arrangement of a killer funky song by Stevie!! I always loved the change up going into "...when you believe in things that you don't understand...." Very cool! Keep rockin'
yeah yeah yeah another super funky, super tasteful, super technical, super musical, super amazing, wowzers performance........... it must be Monday ........🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This might just be your best hardest song in the world yet. You were phenomenal!
That cam change on the processor is great, it feels more live than edited video
Jeff Beck is smiling! Just a wonderful rendition of one of my favorite songs of all time. Stevie Wonder and Jeff Beck, what more could you ask for. Thanks, made my day.
This is phenomenal!
This is so beautifully stripped back and just focused on your talented playing, creativity, and the music. Wonderful cover of a fantastic song!
This right here….! Not only is this funky, it’s stanky and musty too! Just insane! I had to subscribe, geez.
Holy CRAP! I've been patiently waiting for this. Charlie Boy, you knocked this one out of the park!
I think you chose the perfect axe, the acoustic gives you tremendous freedom of expression. That Fender is a smashing success, and that is a perfect showcase piece for the instrument. Just wish you had someone to cover the vocals.
Keep it up, you amaze us every time. ❤❤❤
The bass was already singing, sooooo... 😅
Alot of people play the riff on the bass but i find it sounds much better just honking on that open E(b) string! Fantastic stuff as always.
Yes! I knew I could count on you to break down the original to all its sub parts. 8 clav parts make up the original. But, of course you knew that. Anyway, love how you went there and then took it to the next level. Really fricking groovy! Well done sir!
Wicked. I'm addicted. Charles plays smooth, the notes are liquid,
Slapping or picking it, bass is his forte,
Berthoud on the bass is to my kind of taste,
I'll make time for his videos, always.
Dude, that acoustic Bass sounds sublime.
Was not expecting the acoustic bass guitar on this one
beautiful composition! loved it on the acoustic! very clean performance as usual!
the tone of the bass is so good
Really nice, sympathetic composition, with that Charles sparkle. Amazing work sir.
i’m in awe, i’ve seen this 5 times already, you’re making the impossible, possible. you’re virtuous af, man. your effort, perseverance and love for the craft has taken you so far, and you’re still young soooo… can’t even imagine the masterpieces we’ll get to see/hear on this journey being a sub and a true fan at this point, you rock, man! and those earphones sound great, loving that you put the BASS mode. awesome as always, great work!!!
By far one of the best musicians on the internet.
I love the sound of acustic bass even more than electric bass....hard to find music with acoustic bass....im saving this to a playlist! Awesome work man!
This was amazing. One of my favorites of your covers.
Dude that was so insane! Yeah that was freaking awesome Charles!
Makes me smile every time I hear one of your renditions, love the grit💜
It's completely ridiculous how clean that sounds.
You just made my day! Again 😊
The reflexes to spot equipment failure and pull enough slack in a split second...what a great climbing buddy!
That was Amazing Charles! You fill the entire space in your own style yet respectful of Stevie's groove from so long ago. I really wish you could get with Tommy Emmanuel and work a duet somehow. Though you are both used to presenting the song fully by yourselves, i'm sure it would be a wonderful experience for each of you and all of us, your fans, to see what you two could come up with together. I'm grateful to you for doing what you do!
My dood this is my favorite thing on the Internet
Superstition is just such a groove and typically Charles has taken it to whole new level! Awesome!! 😍😍🎶🎶👍👍😎
I think this video title should be classified as clickbait as for Charles NO song is the hardest song in the world. The dude's just incredible.
Again Top Level. I believe even Steve Wonder will appreciate your arrangement on this masterpiece. Great 👍🏻
You gotta love it when the bass face goes from “man this goes hard” to “wow, I actually just did that. Dang” then back to grooving
wow what a perfect guitar
Had to crank the subwoofer for this one 🔊👍👍❤🔊
Haha nice 🔥🔥
Love to see these new bassists out there like yourself that are reimagining the instrument. You are bringing a new dimension to the bass. Although it may not be compatible in a real time band setting as you are covering all the parts in the song yourself, it does demonstrate how the bass is an interesting solo instrument. Cheers!
Sounds so funky on acoustic bass. Love it
I'm SO glad you still did this even though it didn't win!!
Can we all agree we need more acustic bass 🔥🔥🔥
Love the acoustic tone. Such a badass song to begin with and this is a stellar rendition. Thanks for sharing!
Charles I'm superstitious of your insane bass skills
Very superstitious...
Clearly sold his soul to the devil, and that is why he is a fellow ginger. 🫡 I did too. But I asked to be a Renaissance Man. Now I have ADHD, and mediocre at everything, AND ginger...
@@Footsteps7173Вряд ли он продал душу, иначе стал был очень знаменит
Makes you WONDER
Awesome as always Charles! I'm a beginner guitarist and honestly, I can't wait to master tap!
You truely are amazing!
I love the additional foot cam, very impressiv footwork!
Good job, Charles. Stevie Wonder will be so proud of you for that cover you did🙂
I like the new format. Honestly, the standard "from relatively easy to impossible" showcases your skills, but this one right here has such a cool vibe that the well-edited videos lack somehow.
You actually made this tune for me personally better than the original! You definitely got gold in them fingers and thumbs Charles, have a excellent day 🫵🏻😘👍🏼
Thank you so much! I had no idea Fender acoustic basses could sound so funky!
First
👏🏻🥇
Charles, there are no words to adequately describe how unbelievably cool this is.
This goes so fucking hard
Cheers mate, this was positively fantastic!
Sooo it's nice to see you are still going with the (almost) uncut style, which I prefer best. I would prefer to see the pedal changes in a corner, instead of the inserts, anyways.
Absolutely blown away and in love with this masterpiece!
What a beautiful instrument!
Love to hear you play 🙂.
I’m never disappointed when I watch one of your videos. Always stellar playing, and I love your arrangements. I’ve been playing music for over 40 years. I’d love to see a video where you talk about picking a song, then working out the arrangement, and then your method of rehearsing it.
Great and I loved that you played it on an acoustic bass! Thanks Charles
Oh my... The GOAT!!!
When you added the third voice I lost my mind, and you keep adding the guitar and the keys with the voice and the bass.... THIS IS INSANE CHARLES, HOW CAN YOU PLAY ALL THESE VOICES AT THE SAME TIME ?!?!?! YOU ARE MAKING ME SUPERSTITIOUS.
This is insane.
Wow… you were always on another level but I feel like your latest videos have gone up another notch
I like how you can inspire me to start learning bass and to never start learning bass at the same time. Love your work man, you have some great imagination. Love from Holland.
Wha...? How? HOW. How even- I feel inadequate now. XD It's one thing to bust out the legendary Berthoud chops, with the blistering Wootenesque double-thump and tapping craziness, which I love dearly. But the second verse, where you're holding down the bassline, clavichord line AND vocal melody? And making them all distinct and easily recognizable, while still physically possible to play? That's a whole different kind of compositional and performative skill, and I'm in actual awe.
Amazing as always! Glad this one made it!
Amazing and excellent! Thanks for sharing!
I absolutely love this cover! Well done as always Charles
Awesome! This is my favourite version of this song.
Acoustic version you just did was freaking AWESOME!!!!
I was there man. Great rendition!
