What do you think you are missing? 18 years seems like an awful lot of time on an instrument to play pretty much anything. Just genuenly curious, as to why you think that he is that much better than you after 18 years of practice.
@@deneskiss9756 there are many musicians that have been playing for a long time, but do not necessarily practice multiple styles of music. And just because I’ve been playing for that long doesn’t mean I’ve been practicing that long. But life, kids, school, and work has taken precedent.
0:45 I think this is my favorite solo you’ve performed yet in a video! It’s so musically pleasing mixed with the perfect amount of super technical skill, it’s awesome. You are one of my biggest bass inspirations ever! Thanks Charles! 😎😎
Your ability to take your content to higher and higher levels just blows me away. Going to have to watch again (and again) to appreciate every subtle nuance. Awesome work Charles
I have spent the last 2 hrs. listening to this song by different artists. I have to say, your rendition surpasses anyone trying emulate the way you did this song. Absolutely Wonderful!!!!!.....
0:11 Charles, I've been away from your content for a while, but knowing that you were engaged then seeing you wearing a second ring on your other hand immediately sparked a thing in me. I love when people find themselves enough to get married! Just came from a friend's wedding last night!!! Congrats to you both, all the best, and keep up with the awesome viseos!
ive been watching you for three years now, your bass videos literally have inspired me to buy my own bass. now ive been playing bass for three years and still jam to your videos! thanks for being such an inspiration
Dude, you are an amazing artist. The hard work you have put into investing in your self has paid off. I literally could watch you as a solo act concert. Bravo!!
Dude this is one of my favorite videos you've ever done. Your composition and performances alone are already God tier, but you always take it to the next level with wacky humor and I will always be here for it ❤
Incredible execution. I was in Italy when the song first came out and it didn’t hit the states yet. I brought back the CD and my friends thought I was crazy saying this was gonna be huge.
when i was 3 or 4 years old i LOVE this song haha! I'm not from an English-speaking country, but at that age my parents sent me to study English...maybe that's why I liked this song: because of the simplicity of the "words" of the chorus, huh? In any case - I did not even expect to ever hear it performed by the author of this channel! And it was amazing! Thanks for the nostalgia, and for another great video, man!
You are such an incredible bassist. It is not just a chopfest to watch you play. It is really musical. I know CDs are old school, but they are coming back because they sound so good. Do you think you will ever release a CD of your own music? I sure would buy it.
@@timwormus I think that charles is probably better then davie, but not as much as it seems. From some stuff that I've seen, he does a lot more technical stuff then he usually lets on, for whatever reason.
How is it possible that you manage to make any song you touch better than the original? Charles, you are godly, my friend. 🙌 By far my favorite TH-camr. Thank you for all the unforgettable and amazing content. ❤
I pray for Slappageddon and the Slapocalypse. Nice work man, I'm blown away. Been playing bass for 15 years and your chops are incredible. So happy I found your channel! Cheers
This is amazing! I know nothing about bass guitars and whatever was happening in the 4th version made my jaw drop! Now I've gotta look up what that magic was!
I was hoping you would do enter sandman but this really good. Keep up the great work Charles. I’m glad to say my first lesson went very well. And btw I learned the whole u can’t hold no groove from watching you and dead wax do it. Thank you so much. I support you 100%❤
Brilliant! Love this, Sir Charles. The fretless segment into the thumbing section is just incredible, and always keeps the song and melody alive throughout. This made my day!
Tremendous playing per the usual sir! Also, I like that the product you’re selling feels like something to help make our lives more manageable, not add clutter to it :)
Such commitment to your craft, I love the blue hands. You just made a good song great!!! I would say Barbie Girl for your next challenge, just to see what you did for that one. 🤣 No matter what you choose, it will be great! 👏👏
It was so cool to hear all the unique stylistic flairs and effects on the different instruments, especially the blue bass, which interestingly reminded me a little of the sound of a sitar because of kinda of subtly lingering high frequencies, kinda like an auditory aftertaste for the note played 🤔
Just wow! All awesome as always, but I really enjoyed the fretless part👌🔥🤩🎶 Love your style, your groove AND especially your sense of humour too Charles! 🙌👏
Bro every song you make sounds like the original composers are right behind you helping you make it better! It sounds enough like the og while still being better!
Today I listen to this masterpiece whole day... My colleague in the car though the 6 string bass was a guitar played in low note, they were really amazed when I showed them the video, pure bass played with various techniques. 👍
Cool… I never did think someday I will saw something so incredible like this! I’m really impressed how technically you play the string. It’s a pleasure watch this video. Congrats bro.
Ive been watching you play for several years now, and even though you were already playing like a virtuoso when I found you, you're even better now. Much better, even. The best I've ever seen, I think. At minimum, you're one of the best bassists alive- you've gotta be. It's not just your technical mastery or your arrangement skills, but your ability to evoke music that's moving and thrilling by pouring yourself into every moment. I'm your fan for life.

Absolutely timeless song played by a musician who somehow makes every track sound better than the original. Incredible.
Thanks!!
Link please....😂
@@CharlesBerthoud the most musical bass player ever. Seriously entertaining!
I'm Green
Timeless. Memorable to all of us from the years 1998 to…….. late 1998
Man, the feeling I get from you playing bass is hard to describe. You're one of few musicians I run back to when I feel down.
oh hi Itachi
Facts though
Don't you mean.... Feel.... Blue?
I love how blue it gets, the further we progress trough the song! Amazing video Charles, rock on!
I can listen to this dude all day. I’ve been playing bass for 18 years and can only aspire to be this good.
Keep aspiring! I never took up an instrument. You're 18 years ahead of me. Never give it up.......
What do you think you are missing? 18 years seems like an awful lot of time on an instrument to play pretty much anything.

yo we need to see more of that blue bass for sure
Reminds me a lot of czech 80s folk music. If you like this kind of vibe, czech out (pun intended) "Kamelot Brno". You might enjoy that
Your ability to take your content to higher and higher levels just blows me away. Going to have to watch again (and again) to appreciate every subtle nuance. Awesome work Charles
Oh man, I've been waiting for you to cover this! Amazing as always. It's always nice to see the stainless fretless bass.
Mee too
Yeah I think it works great on this song!!
@@CharlesBerthoud Absolutely! Phase 4 was gorgeous! Thanks dude. I needed this tonight.
@@CharlesBerthoud Sounds amazeblue! David introduced me to this channel and that was~ A WISE CHOICE. I love this song and your take on it.
I have spent the last 2 hrs. listening to this song by different artists. I have to say, your rendition surpasses anyone trying emulate the way you did this song. Absolutely Wonderful!!!!!.....
What led you to such an awesome afternoon?
Be sure to listen to the version by Faouzia

It's impressive how Charles held his breath for the whole song. talk about dedication to the craft!
😂
Underrated joke 🤣
That tone is so clean, beautiful cover!
Amazing cover. I am continually in awe of your artistry on the metal fretless… your precision and tone is amazingly consistent. Legendary!!
If Sultans of Swing was the hardest song in the world.
YES!
As a guitar player, your channel has given me an appreciation for bass that I have never had before. Thank you sir.
That fretless solo was tasty as hell. You should do a solo arrangement for 25 or 6 to 4.
❤❤❤
That would be great!
That's a great idea!
This man is unstoppable and needs to be kept safe at all costs
ive been watching you for three years now, your bass videos literally have inspired me to buy my own bass. now ive been playing bass for three years and still jam to your videos! thanks for being such an inspiration
Dube you're fookin' amazing.
For the algorithm. ✊
✊
All hail the algorithm 🙌

The algorithm can do no wrong

Not only the incredible bass playing but also the creativity and the fun you convey in your videos are definitely PRO-level. Amazing, Charles!
I’ve been watching your videos since you were at less than 400,000 subscribers. How are you not headlining a solo tour all over the world??!
I'm looking into doing a tour next year! 😳
Please come to the Netherlands!
And definitely the USA.
@@CharlesBerthoud WHAAAAAT
Do a south ameroca leg bro, and come to peru aswell
Dude, you are an amazing artist. The hard work you have put into investing in your self has paid off. I literally could watch you as a solo act concert. Bravo!!
Thanks!
That fretless solo was absolutely fantastic!!
That solo was Blue AF, and I am well and truly impressed by your commitment to the blue.
Dude this is one of my favorite videos you've ever done. Your composition and performances alone are already God tier, but you always take it to the next level with wacky humor and I will always be here for it ❤
0:03 the best look ever
Díky!
Incredible execution. I was in Italy when the song first came out and it didn’t hit the states yet. I brought back the CD and my friends thought I was crazy saying this was gonna be huge.
Love the song or hate it, you can’t deny it’s a magical and catchy melody

This gentleman has forgotten more about music than I will ever know. I love seeing genuine talent combined with passion.
This is not only a great example of superb music talent but also a great inspiration for a bunch of remixes. delicious.
This is some crazy sorcery bro! This series literally turns goofy ahh songs into super technical masterpieces. Keep it up.
Damn Charles your licks are like compounding interest, better and better each year. That middle slap section was insane technique, champion mate. 🏆 ❤
Incredible musicianship plus genuinely entertaining and funny sponsorships... it doesn't get any better than Charles Berthoud ❤
That little roll around 1:36 was smoooooooth
Also, ALL the respect for putting the ad at the end.
Fantastic! It's the most beautiful rearranged Song i've ever heard
You are such an incredible bassist. It is not just a chopfest to watch you play. It is really musical. I know CDs are old school, but they are coming back because they sound so good. Do you think you will ever release a CD of your own music? I sure would buy it.
At least go for super audio cd :)
This dude is the most talented bass player of all time and I don’t even think it’s close.

I think if it came down to it, Davie would admit that Charles is a better bassist than he is, even if Davie has a bigger TH-cam following.
@@timwormus I think that charles is probably better then davie, but not as much as it seems.
From some stuff that I've seen, he does a lot more technical stuff then he usually lets on, for whatever reason.
Amazing as usual! Love the fretless!
Damn that was so good its unbelievable
WHAT AN ABSOLUTE UNIT !!!!!!!! I love u so much

In this case it isn't really hard to improve on the original.
I pray for Slappageddon and the Slapocalypse. Nice work man, I'm blown away.
Been playing bass for 15 years and your chops are incredible. So happy I found your channel!

You are a superb bassist and musician. Awesome version.
This is just SICK!! Amazing, you must have been playing for ages, I specially love the sound of the frettless 6 string
This is amazing! I know nothing about bass guitars and whatever was happening in the 4th version made my jaw drop! Now I've gotta look up what that magic was!
Hi Charles, this is awesome like all of the other "Hardest song in the world". I love these videos! :)
Most assuredly the HARDEST version of I'm Blue by far! Fantastic technique, and amazing video, as always good sir!
I was hoping you would do enter sandman but this really good. Keep up the great work Charles. I’m glad to say my first lesson went very well. And btw I learned the whole u can’t hold no groove from watching you and dead wax do it. Thank you so much. I support you 100%❤
Brilliant! Love this, Sir Charles. The fretless segment into the thumbing section is just incredible, and always keeps the song and melody alive throughout. This made my day!
I wish I could have an endless jam from you playing 24/7.

He did Barbie Girl already, it was really dope. I'd link it for you but it'd get auto-removed
I hear the influence of Mike porcaro in your playing. Such musicality
Literally can't believe what I just watched. You're from another fuckin planet!
playing Rush form bass Heroes Indonesian
Awesome as always. By half way through I am laughing out loud and, at the slapocalypse, I am ready to sell my bass guitar. Thanks!
Your bass tone and play style are giving off serious Marcus Miller vibes! Love this! Great work man!
Marcus Miller is not on Charles level - not even close.
It was so cool to hear all the unique stylistic flairs and effects on the different instruments, especially the blue bass, which interestingly reminded me a little of the sound of a sitar because of kinda of subtly lingering high frequencies, kinda like an auditory aftertaste for the note played 🤔
Just wow! All awesome as always, but I really enjoyed the fretless part👌🔥🤩🎶 Love your style, your groove AND especially your sense of humour too Charles! 🙌👏
This should’ve been the original song😂
he blue himself
1:10 I've never thought of playing that before. I love that
i was literally looking up covers of this song all week and you upload this. get out of my walls.
Congratulations, you've somehow made one of the most annoying songs in music history seem a lot more tolerable. Great work Charles!
🤣 Crazy Frog next?
@@CharlesBerthoud do it!
@@CharlesBerthoud Holy Shrimp, yes do it
I literally came to the comments to request crazy frog lolol
I want you to play this at the Blue Note in NY
that last one green strings bass is a BEAST!!!!!!! Love at first sight
It's like if you had to think up the most epic way to play bass but for it to be actually possible and executed like this? This guy is the best.
Bro every song you make sounds like the original composers are right behind you helping you make it better! It sounds enough like the og while still being better!

I've been playing guitar for 12 months and can't even comprehend this skills! MIND BLOWN.
OMFG I LOVE YOU THIS IS MY JAM I STAY BLUE !!!!!
Love to watch you play. You are a gifted musician...keep up the great stuff!
This is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen in my entire life and I am a better person for having heard it now.
He blue me away 🔥🔥🙌
Sir, I could loop the 2:10-2:11 lick for weeks. Respect, much love. You're an amazingly musical soul.
This is just perfectly played man!! Respect for this unique skill!
What a beautiful fretless 6 string!!!! You've inspired me to pick my bass back up! Stellar Job!
The Bass Slap from 1:30... OMG! So cool! 🤘🤩🤘 Just briliant!
Solo on 0:57 is amazing. Imgine a song entirely like this.
Jamais vu un bassiste avec autant de talent
This is so freakin' amazing i can't believe what i just heard. One of my absolutely favorite songs ever made even better
I cry to this song.you so awsom😢😢
Astonishing. Fretless segment the absolute nuts!
I never get tired of this channel.
I was absolutely obsessed with this song when it came out. Love it still.
Nice! The third instrument seemed best suited to the song, to my ears. Gorgeous!
I swear, if this guy was in JoJo, his stand would 100% be called Slapocalypse
Wow. Fricken awesome
The slow descent into madness is real...and I love it.
This is INCREDIBLE!!! No other word for it!!!
Love you ❤
I'm fan of Blue da ba dee in all it's versions, languages, etc and you just unlocked new song 👌🏼✨
Talent as pure as talent comes! Amazing!
