      He has so much feel in his playing
      You instinctively tap a foot, bop or bang your head, grove in your seat and tape your jaw shut to stop from it dropping over his amazing talent.
      I am a drummer and any thing he and Davey 504 plat makes me just play a backing beat to them.
      I'm not in their league (they are Major professional league, I am the drunken bunch of no talent hacks who's egos surpasses their actual talent)
      But it still makes me love and tap the like button over and over.

    I'm in my 70's, and used to play guitar. Pretty much most of my life I always wondered what a bass lead would sound like, and why it was never done before. Well if it was done before I damn sure didn't know about it. Then I stumbled on to your video's and for the last 6+ months have been blown away by your mastery of the bass. Thank you for bringing these videos out and showing the world just how versatile a bass guitar actually is when played by a master such as yourself. Again, thank you and keep the vids coming. God Bless.

    I'm 38 and about a year ago my 16yo son asked me to buy him a guitar. I got my first bass when I was around his age, but between military service, and just general "adulting," I hadn't been able to play since my teenage years. So, I got it for him, and afterwards started looking at basses for myself, and also starting watching youtube vids, mostly you and Davie. I finally just pulled the trigger and got myself an Ibanez GSR205, and the past couple days have been amazing. I just wanted to say thank you, for your contribution to reigniting the passion I had 20+ years ago. I'm sure once my fingers callus up again and stop hurting, they'll thank you too. Lol

    Franchement ??? Comment s'est possible de jouer aussi bien ?
    La mélodie, le groove, la technique de ouf, le feeling, le sens du rythme, le dosage, la finesse.....
    Je crois que je pourrais continuer longtemps...... Allez, je la remets.....
    Chapeau dude !

    I still can't get enough of this. It's right up there with Highland Dream for my all-time favorite compositions (any instrument/genre).
    Keep on doing what you do, Charles. I'm loving every second of it.

    I'm relatively new to your channel and I'm awestruck by your insane musicianship and hearing the bass entirely reimagined. Of your videos that I've seen this one is definitely my favorite (I have no doubt there are others even more impressive). You are simply remarkable.

    Thank you for continuing to make the videos you do. I love the songs you're right, the Riffs you slap and the videos you make. This might be a little unrelated but when I see your videos you remind me that I can do anything I put my mind to. That's really what your music speaks to me and I'm very appreciative of you for it. Please don't stop being yourself

    Bomba, sledze twój kanał, szacun, wyprawiasz niesamowite rzeczy na basie, mistrz, mistrz. Też gram od 12 roku życia ale wzyciu bym nie pomyślał że można grać tak jak ty. ❤👏👏👏👏👏

    Just wanted to thank you for putting your video content before your sponsors and promotions. I hate having to skip through the first 3 minutes of "like and subscribe and blah blah." ps when watching your videos I still watch the rest of the video, promos and all because the flow feels more natural. Great content keep up all the great work.

    Love the body slaps to accentuate the notes instead of using them to play the rhythm itself. Sounded killer, well done

    To bad, that you are much younger than me.
    I totally lost all of my bass skills in the past 15 years.
    Cant even play plain notes anymore. Such a pain.
    If I had you as guy to look up to. I'm sure i wouldnt have stopped.
