Honestly one of the most talented bass players I've seen. You're in the same class as Les Claypool and Billy Sheehan. You've taken it to the next level beyond in my eyes. Thanks for sharing your talent with us
Personally I feel he has already surpassed all the names mentioned. I have seen no bass player on Charles's level imo. I feel like Charles can play anything those guys can play and more.
Charles' musicality on the bass is honestly next-level. He can't just shred, but he can make it musical. Truly a virtuoso of our time. I wonder who some of his inspirations are.
Charles, dude, you just did more musical wonderment in 24 seconds than some bands do in their entire careers. Absolutely sick, love it, thanks brother.
I would absolutely love to hear a lot more of this style of bass playing from Charles ( a full album is a great idea) , I’ve never even heard of anyone using a whammy bar on a bass ever before … it sounds amazing! Especially in Charles’s hands this dude is insanely great ! I’d love to hear him jam a full album with Buckethead ! ( as he’s one of the only guitarists that I can think of that could actually match up to Charles playing) That would be crazy cool 😎 🎸🤘🏻😄 I can only imagine how it would sound 🤪😄.
As a guitar player who absolutely loves whammy’s and all The different styles that have been developed over the years ..this is just fucking awesome n so many levels
Hi Bro, we are watching with pleasure, very professionally. Thanks for the very original content. Respect. I wish you and your loved ones peace of kindness and love and health
Crazy how after 30+ years of loving various bands, musicians, etc. Thinking I knew what skill and innovation and talent was. Now that I hear Charles. . . No one does it better
Can we take a moment to appreciate the crunchy tone he had going? Incredible! Long term sub, can’t believe we’re nearly 1.5 mil now. Keep up the hard work, you’re talented and dedicated (practice). Much love to you and yours
bro it's not the whammy bar, it definately helps but bröther, you are an insanely talented musician. you used the whammy bar not because "yay whammy" but because it actually brings something musically, and you definately used that strength of the whammy impressively. fantastic job
Yes!!!! Perfect video for you sir in my opinion. You let your technique and composition talk for you! No funny uses just talent. This is where you shine! Thank you!
Imagine a metal band having a bassist that just sits on a literal throne during all their performances, slapping and tapping, and all the things that this dude did. They don’t even need a guitarist, just a drummer and vocalist.
I swear charles can play anything and it always blows my mind, I've been practicing bass more because of people like charles and clay gober a collab would be pretty sick, just a suggestion
The music of this chill guy makes me happy. I was an improv guitar artist before a neural ailment effected memory and motor skills. Im rebuilding, and music like his is a great example of one who can burp music on the fly.
I know it had been done long before Claypool. But he is the first I can remember doing it back in the 80’s. When I saw it I was like, that’s brilliant!
@@ricktheexplorer They have been available for basses for a long time, at least since the 1980s. Some players who use, or have used them are Les Claypool, Victor Wooten, Randy Coven and Billy Sheehan.
Charles, I've been following you for a few years, and have the utmost respect for you. You inspire me to pick up my instrument an WORK. Thank you for your videos. Cheers!
Charles is every up and coming lead bassist in every up coming talented band that you haven't heard about. All built in to one person. He's a robot. I am saying he is a robot.
Chucky this is one of the best things you've ever made imo. This is an incredible composition and performance. A whole album of this with some prog and melodic elements could be world class. Gave me some Mestis vibes.
Sounds like some kind of crazy classic Megadeth song in the intro with a god level rhythm!! Except on radioactive speed in the technical department. Amazing.
Unreal! Please keep loving bass and getting better, but just know that some of us think you have reached the level of mastery within the pantheon of the all-time greats.
everytime i think I can't be blown away by your videos anymore, you upload a new video and blow me away again haha congrats man, this is great music once again!
SO GOOD! It's so good hearing you really go for a heavy crunchy sound on the riffs. I hope you revisit this heavier sound at some point in future. You have an incredible knack for never sacrificing musicality for any other value - heaviness, technicality, complexity - whatever is going on in a piece, however mind-blowing the ability needed to play and compose it, you can guarantee it's just great to listen to.
@@TimTrOn3000 no i would say even non musicians would be impressed by this stuff, charles has hundreds of thousands of subscribers and i doubt they’re all hardcore connoisseurs
Been watching your content since lockdown (4 years now?). Love how diverse your sound gas gotten, while also retaining a unique quality to it. Great stuff, Charles!
That tapping section sounded very Dream Theater, which is about the biggest compliment I can bestow! Also, I wanna hear what a Dime squeal sounds like on that bass next time, please!
Charles, you never cease to amaze! Bravo!!! What a great performance and musical approach!! I understand this is not the limit of your capabilities ---- far.
@@CharlesBerthoud I absolutely love your bass playing sir 🤘🏻 much love from B.C. Canada 🇨🇦. I agree 100% Charles this sounds amazing! 🤘🏻🎸😮 I’d love to hear a lot more of this style ! You know … whenever You are ready 😄 any chance of a colab with Buckethead sometime in the future ? That would be crazy cool sounding ! 😎🤘🏻
That tapping bit is actually insane
Agreed
He's the tapping God, he wrote books on it 👌
Dude, that woulda been ground breaking even in guitar.,!
Yeah, agree. Definitely breaks the formula a bit, which is refreshing sometimes.
Yeah I just posted about the same thing then I saw this comment. I'm not even new to his vids and that still caught me off guard.
This is exactly my type of style. Didn't even know it existed. Extraordinary
Prog-metal
Check out The Omnific, They did crazy stuff like this!!
@@staenlymarcellbombong8865 thx
primus maybe. it's not the same style per se but les claypool owns a bass with a whammy bar.
Smelled like Symphony X in a good way. Check em out as well!
Honestly one of the most talented bass players I've seen. You're in the same class as Les Claypool and Billy Sheehan. You've taken it to the next level beyond in my eyes. Thanks for sharing your talent with us
100% agree
Michael Manring - Selene
For me this guy is best compared with victor Wooten
Some day he'll even surpass Flea
Personally I feel he has already surpassed all the names mentioned. I have seen no bass player on Charles's level imo. I feel like Charles can play anything those guys can play and more.
No joke, I'd buy an album of songs like this.
Biiiiig money!!
Me too
Check out Evan Brewers album "Alone" its just bass and its insane like this
Charles' musicality on the bass is honestly next-level. He can't just shred, but he can make it musical. Truly a virtuoso of our time. I wonder who some of his inspirations are.
Amazing profile picture
Definitely Victor Wooten
Nice profile picture, I love that album
Yes I dont know maybe he is the best bass player of today or I don't know?
He can shred, tho :p
Charles, dude, you just did more musical wonderment in 24 seconds than some bands do in their entire careers. Absolutely sick, love it, thanks brother.
I can't be the only one who wants to listen to an entire album of Charles playing like this!!!
no my friend, you're not
I would absolutely love to hear a lot more of this style of bass playing from Charles ( a full album is a great idea) , I’ve never even heard of anyone using a whammy bar on a bass ever before … it sounds amazing!

Album my ear... I want 3 hrs of live jams !!!!
I know it’s a basic take, but a mean-ass vocalist would definitely complete the set.
As a guitar player who absolutely loves whammy’s and all
The different styles that have been developed over the years ..this is just fucking awesome n so many levels
The tapping part took me by surprise. I love the prog metal genre shift on this one.
As a game programmer, this sounded like a bullet hell boss fight to me. As always, you are insane.
Hi Bro, we are watching with pleasure, very professionally. Thanks for the very original content. Respect. I wish you and your loved ones peace of kindness and love and health
Thanks, and you too!
What is «Гнев Земли»?
@@denisbarkovskiy I am the author of a news channel about cataclysms and catastrophes.
Anger of the Earth? Or Rage?
@@Idonious Or rage!!!
I heard the first note and just ascended. Why does this sound so amazing i love it and now want a whammy on my bass
Charles, you are a true treasure. Your talent is a gift not just for you, but for all of us. Godspeed
10% talent, 90% study ;)
@@Danidurga fr, he worked his ass off for so long
1:31
This part reminds me of Meshuggah
Crazy how after 30+ years of loving various bands, musicians, etc. Thinking I knew what skill and innovation and talent was. Now that I hear Charles. . . No one does it better
Charles and Guthrie Govan should make some music together
The part that starts around 0:25 is sick.
The whammy is truly a must in the metal sound! Very awesome Charles!
Yeah it definitely helps make it sound extra heavy 🔥
This is prog rock with a nice distortion. With the wammy taking the spotlight, the distortion pedal or plugin got skipped. What is it?
@@CharlesBerthoud what effects were you using? Overdrive and fuzz?
@@carpediemarts705 yeah I am interested in which effects he was using on the whammy sections.
@@carpediemarts705 Can you try and do it better? Didn't think so.
i need an album full of this
Can we take a moment to appreciate the crunchy tone he had going? Incredible! Long term sub, can’t believe we’re nearly 1.5 mil now. Keep up the hard work, you’re talented and dedicated (practice). Much love to you and yours
When I was a kid used to listen to Stu Ham , now Charles has taken the bass player level beyond Stu and all gran masters. A M A Z I N G
Thanks for reminding
0:23 this part is beautiful
breh
bro it's not the whammy bar, it definately helps but bröther, you are an insanely talented musician. you used the whammy bar not because "yay whammy" but because it actually brings something musically, and you definately used that strength of the whammy impressively. fantastic job
I can't get over how amazing that whammy sounds on bass, especially with your playing too. I love this.
0:15 diminished arpeggios are metal af!!!
I wish you had a full album with this vibe. This is fabulous!!
Yes!!!! Perfect video for you sir in my opinion. You let your technique and composition talk for you! No funny uses just talent. This is where you shine! Thank you!
Thw whammy suddenly disappeared at 1:09. :) Great playing again, Charles!
I noticed it, too. The composition was still excellent even though it’s missing
Unbelievable skill! 200% Musical at the same time. Gold!
Everything about this man just is ahead of its time, the bass, the playing, the ideas!!
1:11 when the shrooms kick in. Good lawd
This sounds like a track directly off a Plini album! I love it! Awesome work and thank you for sharing!
Can’t help feeling I’ve just seen some amazing musical cleverness that went completely over my head
Just when I thought the whammy bar was bringing him out of the technical space and into some groove.......he hits me with that tap-pegio chorus....
Imagine a metal band having a bassist that just sits on a literal throne during all their performances, slapping and tapping, and all the things that this dude did. They don’t even need a guitarist, just a drummer and vocalist.
I swear charles can play anything and it always blows my mind, I've been practicing bass more because of people like charles and clay gober a collab would be pretty sick, just a suggestion
The fact that this is half as long as your other Whammy Bass video but feels _twice_ as long is mindblowing.
The music of this chill guy makes me happy. I was an improv guitar artist before a neural ailment effected memory and motor skills. Im rebuilding, and music like his is a great example of one who can burp music on the fly.
0:23 This sounds like the part were the starts boss mid talking until here where the battle starts again 0:42
This is so sick man! I didn't even consider a regualar bass with a whammy and this is awesome.
This needs to be the thing that bass players get from now on. This is too good.
They been selling wammy for bass for decades.
@@carpediemarts705 I've never seen one before this. Who uses one?
I know it had been done long before Claypool. But he is the first I can remember doing it back in the 80’s.
When I saw it I was like, that’s brilliant!
@@ricktheexplorer They have been available for basses for a long time, at least since the 1980s. Some players who use, or have used them are Les Claypool, Victor Wooten, Randy Coven and Billy Sheehan.
Best bass player on the planet.. its not even close. Awesome work Charles
As far as “feel” in the groove, this is one of your best yet. Extremely well done!
WoW! I have never been in shock before but this bassing is just every time I think this is the epitome of it just gets even more magnificent!
You are so good at every style of bass
I think itd be really interesting for a heavy metal group to have a bass lead like this. I love the way this sounded
**calls Lorna Shore**
It kind of reminds me of the first Mudvayne album
Archspire bass is very technical. just watch one of their bass playthrough videos
@@SuperHamrick94 they don't have lead bass like that... a band that does would be Archspire.
You turned the bass into an entirely new instrument. I am just blown away.
Charles, I've been following you for a few years, and have the utmost respect for you. You inspire me to pick up my instrument an WORK. Thank you for your videos.
Cheers!
Чарль ты не перестаешь удивлять.!!! Браво!!! Какое классное исполнение и музыкальный подход!! Я понимаю это не предел твоих возможностей ---- далеко.
He is one of the most talented bassists to ever live. my friend
@@rameysue i can`t trust u! How can you proof your words? (and sorry for my english)
@qwe qwe his channel is the proof
Да, крутой музыкант

Chucky this is one of the best things you've ever made imo. This is an incredible composition and performance. A whole album of this with some prog and melodic elements could be world class. Gave me some Mestis vibes.
In my opinion your the best all around bassist! Dynamics,tapping etc etc rrc
Sounds like some kind of crazy classic Megadeth song in the intro with a god level rhythm!! Except on radioactive speed in the technical department. Amazing.
Les Claypool was the first bassist I saw use a whammy bar, because of course he did. You're doing him proud!
That was pure awesome sound. Reminds me of a mix of old prog metal, computer games from the -90s and well 6 more things.
Big boss battle vibes from the tapping part for sure
Unreal! Please keep loving bass and getting better, but just know that some of us think you have reached the level of mastery within the pantheon of the all-time greats.
everytime i think I can't be blown away by your videos anymore, you upload a new video and blow me away again haha congrats man, this is great music once again!
And we were all waiting for the big deep dive bomb
Probably the coolest sounding thing I've ever heard on the coolest looking bass I've ever seen.🤘
Simply spectacular. Thank you!
That's some of the finest bass playing I've ever heard, phenomenal!
0:22
this part sounds like something perfect for vaporwave or lofi something or other
SO GOOD! It's so good hearing you really go for a heavy crunchy sound on the riffs. I hope you revisit this heavier sound at some point in future. You have an incredible knack for never sacrificing musicality for any other value - heaviness, technicality, complexity - whatever is going on in a piece, however mind-blowing the ability needed to play and compose it, you can guarantee it's just great to listen to.
Charles: you are the GOAT
holy smokes Charles! that complete tapping part was one of my favorite musical sequences of all time!
What a pleasure to see a bass player with great technique
I wish bassists would innovate more like this, this sounds fucking incredible and should be somewhat mainstream
People are too stupid. These ideas go way over the heads of most.
@@TimTrOn3000 no i would say even non musicians would be impressed by this stuff, charles has hundreds of thousands of subscribers and i doubt they’re all hardcore connoisseurs
I wouldn't say its something just any bass player can do 😂
I’ve listened to all of your metal songs and this one is my favourite 🎸
Once again, your playing never ceases to amaze
Great Job!
Bruh you haven't even watched it yet
im glad im not the only one thats thought this too. whammy doesnt just have a place in metal, but it belongs in metal
Once again... Absolutely outstanding..!!! You are beyond amaze Charles🤘🏼
Thank you!
@@CharlesBerthoud you are truly an inspiration walking miracle. Thanks for the reply. It's such an honour for me.

Amazing Charles just amazing
That tapping section sounded very Dream Theater, which is about the biggest compliment I can bestow! Also, I wanna hear what a Dime squeal sounds like on that bass next time, please!
was looking for this comment, as soon as the tapping started I instantly got dream theater vibes
This is EASILY one of my fav videos on internet THANK YOU
wow this sounds incredible
edit: I can't stop watching, I've put this video on loop for like 30 minutes now
I sincerely hope this starts catching on 1 because it sounds awesome and 2 it would be nice to see basses with whammys on the walls in stores.
That main riff sounds so incredible, Charles is absolutley insane.
Stuart Hamm, Stanley Clarke, all geniuses, and world class brilliant.
Charles, you never cease to amaze! Bravo!!! What a great performance and musical approach!! I understand this is not the limit of your capabilities ---- far.
Awesome. It got the 90s to 00s Fighting Games Vibe
This is definitely one of the better, if not best, compositions I've seen on this channel. That was certainly a jam. 🤟
DUUUUUUUDE!!!!!! you are the best bass player i have ever seen.
This is what I need in my life
Everyone could use some more metal bass lines with a whammy bar in their life 👌🏻
@@CharlesBerthoud
I absolutely love your bass playing sir 🤘🏻 much love from B.C. Canada 🇨🇦. I agree 100% Charles this sounds amazing! 🤘🏻🎸😮 I’d love to hear a lot more of this style !

Awesome!
Anime intro time haha love it!!! (And that tapping 🔥🔥🔥) Amazing as always!
The tapping is insane! You’re honestly one of the most talented bass players there is.
It sounds incredible! I absolutely love it!
Honestly, is amaizing to hear so many diferent styles being played by you Sir... my respect and admiration goles to you.
I would kill for a massive metal bass collab with Charles, Jared Smith, Connor Green, John Myung and Fami
Really love the addition of getting to see the side by side of both parts of that amazing solo! Really incredible work
hey, i just love how you can master any genre, it always sounds so great
You make the bass sing..a true talent.
Yo this might be your best video so far, the tapping was on uncharted levels of virtuosity
1:30 YES! YES! FINALLY. HE DID IT! BASS DJENT!
This is actually insanely good 😮🎉🎉❤❤❤
You've turned the bass into a new instrument all together. Good work my friend.
Very cool. Never relley heard a bass played with a whammy bar.👍👍
Charles is a legend! Great job, bro.
Make it your own signature bass player that uses whammy bar on playing. Make a history man.
Good god!that was amazing🤘definitely wanna hear more heavy metal 😃
