Come on, give me a REAL challenge.
Ok this was actually insanely difficult. But anyway - give me challenges below! 👇🏻
CharlesBerthoud Giant Steps in different genres?
Play Fortnite
Bleed by Meshuggah using doublethump only
I challenge you to quit bass and play guitar
Play upright bass
I saw that TwoSet reference ;) This is going straight to Ling Ling 40 hrs
Chris Ocampo let’s petition them to feature it!
Yes It SHOULDD!! 😄😄
Anyone who noticed the TwoSet reference needs to PRACTICE. Or else the guy with the 504 Gateway Timeout code will CALL the Ling Ling POLICE!! OMG!!!
When you see Paganini Caprice you know there will be a TwoSet reference
What's that?
Other musicians: covering only the Theme for their instruments
Charles: being a real chad and covering the whole piece
Musicians*
@@oofusmcdoofus Oof, thanks!
Liszt and Brahms actually did variations for this theme on piano, and they are insane
Noice
Well the theme is pretty easy
I'll consider this as foreshadowing for Twoset vs. Davie
so correct lol
Mashail Alowaidah Me too
Let him be crowned Bass King Instead Of Davie
Marco Dayao nope nobody is a bass king
The twoset violin just challenged Davie504 to play in a violin about this hahaha Very interesting 😂😂
Slaping paganini 24. 69 hours and 420 days of practice.
Yeah I saw that and thought “Charles did that” ...
Bass wins again.
@@synanthony but it should play on violin not bass.
He referenced 2 set by saying 40 hours a day
I m sure it's an hazard 😉
Once a philosopher said
"40 hours a day, 8 days a week"
The myht, the legend, ling ling
No 14 days a week
It's like The Beatles said, "ooh, you need to practice babe, yes you know it's true"
Carlon Buinji thechnically it would be 40h, 11.6 days
As someone who's intimately familiar with the Paganini 24th caprice, those backing tracks had me cracking UP!
Torgie Madison They were pretty horrendous in my opinion. Lol. Some were better than others for sure. But Variation 4 especially was just God-awful. Haha
@@whatup917 4>3
Andrew Buchan You’re right, that’s the only difference between that and this.
@@LarsUelf 3 is bad for sure. However, at least the chords in the underlying accompaniment actually fit the melody. Rather than 4, where the accompaniment makes the variation something else entirely different, theoretically.
Would've appreciated raw footage :/
This deserves like 10 millions of views. Everymusic teacher should show this in comparison with the classic violin version.
So inspiring!
facts
Charles: *Plays Paganini*
Paganini: *Smiles in relief*
Ysaÿe: iNtErEsTiNg *Proceeds to pull out his sonatas in a bizarre smile*
New challenge: play something I can play.
Oof, impossible.
An open E?
Smoke on the water 🤣
th-cam.com/video/iUVpPtBeD2g/w-d-xo.html here you go roel
@@JordyMarincic yes it is
Charles, I’m not exaggerating to say that you’ve inspired me out of a ten-year mire to work on my playing. Thank you so much! You are a legend already, and I’m really looking forward to seeing how the rest of your career helps the world!
I am fan of both twoset and davie504. And thus youtube suggested me to see this. I thought maybe you did after the challenge to get viewers. But I was wrong. And you got a new subscriber! This performance really was Epic and Interesting and W o W. I am just playing it in loop. Paganini was a next level boss and you just increased the level of the piece into sth else. I can't describe in words actually. Love you bro.
But he didn't do LH pizz.
A gift from God. Bless you!
Charles: says he practiced 40 hrs a day
Ling Ling: **appears**
Crowd: **On fire**
Yeah :D
Plot twist: Charles IS Ling Ling
Only here for the Ling Ling
But instead ling ling does not play the bass
Octaves in bass: 😗
Octaves in violin: 😭
wait...chopin?! what are you doing here?!
My actual inspiration to become the pianist I am now was always in Paganini
@@sebastienperezcassas3869 ah i see
Octaves in piano:
Tenths are way harder on violin.
I guess since twoset challenged davie504 to play pag24 on violin and themselves on bass, maybe twoset is binging on this video now tho. This is the best bass version of pag so far i love it!
Look that's utterly brilliant - BUT can you do it while hula-hooping???
Damn that reference.
Only Hillary and Ling Ling can do it!
@@UshiromiyaXyrius only thing Killary is good at is avoiding justice.
Sure you were thinking music.
But politics stepped in....
:-D
lol
@@UshiromiyaXyrius lol
I wanted a bass like that but I can't compete for the prize :(
Advanced congratulations to the winner..hope Charles would write his signature in there..one of a kind item of the world from "tap god".
Doesn't have to be bass! Although the winner will probably be a bass player since the prize will be a lot more useful to them!
CharlesBerthoud when is the deadline?
Sadly I have to agree, I can't compete either. I don't have the gear to play and record it and post it. Further, I play bass left-handed... ☹️
@@CharlesBerthoud Can I battle on the piano? Because I really want a bass but can't afford one.
Randoe Joe he said yeah but he’d prefer to give it away to someone who plays bass... so it sounds like you’re good. It’d be sick to reply via piano too.
Here's a challenge: "Failing: a very difficult piece for string bass"
Yes, I love that piece!
Yes
Thank you for recommending this
I did that as a solo in orchestra and my teacher thought I was high
YES
I’m here after Brett played Caprice 24 on the bass
...it sounds pretty damn sweet when it’s played right
Two set needs this man
I screamed when Charles said "but after practicing 40 hours a day" because I am both a fan of him and twoset! ❤️
P.S. Please collab with Twoset :
YESS
But did you get the Beatles reference in the same statement???? 😎 😎 😎 😎
@@ThatBoomerDude56 Oh my gosh you're right! I just realized that he also said "eight days per week" which is a reference to the beatles' song "eight days a week" after rewatching this lmao 😂
YES COLLAB
You should do a "professional vs beginner electric bassist" with twoset!
Lol that would be cool!
Noiceee
Yeeeeah good idea!!!
Agree
that is outstanding. Your tapping technique is ..just ..superlative. So well-integrated and musical. .PLEASE DO A TECHNIQUE VIDEO ON THIS !
Duuude i freakin love variation 9 towards the end where you go from the tap and hammer ons to the the alternative picking. Very very great job indeed man
do a collab with twoset !!
Ling Ling Workout
Haytham B i second this! The Ling Ling workout must be done!
Like Beethovens 9th just with VIOLINS and eBass
🤯
+1
i clicked on this to see if there were twoset comments. didn’t expect one from... the actual.... bassist.
this made me realize I wish this channel could've become one featuring lots of 'classical music on bass' (which sounds absolutely awesome, I love it). it's like a perfect in-between of twosetviolin and davie504. like a venn diagram center. not really copying either one. I would've loved that
As a working bassist for over 40 years, I am both elated and demoralized by this musical onslaught. Thank you Charles for your fine work. If you'll excuse me, I must either practice or sell all my gear now. Cheers!
This dude's bass is on fire, good thing he has Ling Ling Insurance
No LL insurance needed me thinks.
Mhmmmmmmm, at least, he practise 40 hours a day.
In that case,i would rate AN I N T E R E S T I N G out of 40
Ling ling would have played it better
Well, he practised 40 hours a day for this after all
I came to see Ling Ling comments
And I was not dissapointed
Amazing!!
EPICO TwoSet References! OMG! -- Charles proves: If you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly. 😎 😎
Dang... Coming here after Davies and twosets battle is pretty weird.
Especially since this was 3 months before that
Its called foreshadowing 😂
Truth
*No one :*
*Not even Paganini:*
*The entire comment section:* whO iS hErE aFtER tWosET Vs dAvIE504??¡
I was a big fan of twoset at 70k subs, and they still make good content, maybe not as good as back then. Although, their fandom is frickin annoying sometimes. Great to get people into classical music, just not infecting every single classical music comment section.
Not even paganini lmao
@@heyytheree ive literally never seen their annoying comments and im subscribed to basically every popular basstuber. I'm a violinist and a bassist but I don't care what you write in your comments as long as don't reference it everywhere. I despise how on Beethoven's 7th string quartet there are no comments to be seen about the actual vidro because they're drowned out by 300 people saying "eDdY BrOuGhT mE hErE".
but who is here after twoset man
Well you ain't wrong 🤷♀️
Challenge: play smoke on the water without getting demonitized
underrated comment here
Ohhhhhh shiiiit
*Rudy has entered the chat
Looool! Good one.
Yep. Had to rewind the part he said, "40 hours a day" and that's when I realized he was quoting Twosets when I scrolled on the comment section. Yes. I effin' fan girled!
It's a worldwide conspiracy of musicians. Ling Ling is WATCHING YOU!! So PRACTICE!!
@@ThatBoomerDude56 Ling Ling doesn't watch you. Ling Ling is practicing while you were thinking if Ling Ling is watching you.
@@maxhaibara8828 Ling Ling sees you when you're sleeping.
Ling Ling knows when you're awake.
Ling Ling knows you're watching TwoSet
and your 40 hours you try to fake.
So ... you'd better go practice.
You'd better get good.
'Cause the people can hear you
'round the whole neighborhood.
And they'll all know how your playing will sound.
--------------
--------------
Ling Ling can practice 166.667 % of the time and ALSO spy on YOUR practicing to know when you're annoying the neighbors by hitting that wrong note all the time.
Peter Kosen bruuuuh, I'm guilty of not practicing. Soooo... 😂😭
@@flowersknives0257 OMG. That's awful. Your penance is: You have to hit "like" on the next dozen TwoSet videos.
Wow - just wow. That was emotional!
I don’t think there is any question that Charles is a much better bassist than Davie. This is a musical genius right here.
Agreed
Charles genuinely leaves me speechless after his videos, Davies leave me laughing so both great in their own ways
I don't see the need to compare them, but yeah technically we agree. I watch Davie for the fun though.
Except, being a musician isn’t a competition…
Yes, Charles is better. But Davie has heart and has always done a lot to help bassist and entertain us. I think both Davie and Charles are a huge asset to us all. Charles shows us endless impossibilities, but Davie shows us things we might be able to accomplish lol. I'm thankful for both of them. (I'm a long time metal guitarist who now plays bass in a very versatile rock band with originals and covers crossing many genres)
*twosetfans have entered the chat*
*davie504fans have entered the chat*
It makes so much sense now
Davie 503 left the chat
I'm both
The great Charles melting pot
Video: "variation 9/11"
Monetization: *starts sweating*
An explosive piece I tell you
It's the *heavy metal* variation... sweating intensifies...
That was impressive. I like the change of backing track with each variation. And that devilish finale! Nailed it!
I'm so glad you played this, partly to see if it could be done, and also because I knew it would be more clear and less slurred together on a bass instead of a violin. So often it is played at a tempo that is inherently unclear to the ear. Thanks - great job!
“40 HOURS” WAIT DID HE JUST MADE A TWO SET VIOLIN REFERENCE? (he’s got that ling ling insurance)
Yes he did. Don't be shocked, twoset are massive.
Twoset army UNITE!!!!
@TwoSetViolin I hope we see this in one of your videos!
Yep
I dont get it. Can you please explain
Challenge: Play Nel Cor Piu Non Mi Sento.
Great idea
More like "papa pa no mi sento" 😂
YASSSSSSS
PaganAnI’s variation of god save the king
Yes Nel cor piu non mi sento or God save the king :)
We had to study this piece on classical guitar for Jose Tomás in Alicante, Spain. It's amazing what a fantastic job Charles has done here! And I would say, the piece is greatly benefited by the backup!
By the way, some of you might be aware that Paganini turned to the guitar and later years, giving up the violin.
Now, this is someone who respects classical music!
Twoset needs to react to this wonderful dude!
Im suprised that the "fivver pro" is actually a easy and serious guy
Chromatic Fantasy - Jaco Pastorius
On FRETLESS BASS
Amazing choice.
did he do this on the levels of jaco?
If Charles would be your teacher you’d become a demi-god in bass.
Yes, because Charles is a god
You become ling ling from a parallel universe
Steven Hellsing inTeREsTiNG
Steven Hellsing ling ling insurance for sure 👌
now this is a true musician is. respectful to one another loved your play i hope you will have a collab with twoset violin for this piece hihi
Now is time for "Nel cor' piu non mi sento" keep practicing 40 hours a day!
I think paganini's god save the king is harder than nel cor piu, so he should it instead
I played beethoven's piano variations on that theme. Can't imagine learning the paganini haha
rayen ' how about both?
@Clark Culver idk, but it would be really funny to see him try
Haha, twoset reference!
Anyway, this is probably the first interpretation I've seen of this piece being played on a different instrument that actually looks hard...though not as hard as it is on violin. (But what do I know, I don't play the bass and I can't play this piece on the violin either. lol)
I would guess it's probably even harder on violin, because they can't tap.
@@CharlesBerthoud Yea, lol. That and also left hand pizzicato. You didn't do that now, did you? HAHAHAHA (...did you?)
I can play violin, cello and bass. It is harder on Bass. It is much easier to shred on violin. Intonation-wise it is hard to make accurate notes but shredding fast wise bass is bloody hard. 😄😄
@@user-ot2sn1mz7b Although I know it's a crime to compare guitar and bass, but I can play the guitar and it's definitely a lot easier than the violin. And bass is similar to that.
The only reason you can play violin faster is because the notes are closer together, but nothing about that makes it easier.
Yea, you can see in his 4th variation and somewhere near the end, he actually played those notes slower and more evenly than the original where the first two notes of each bar was long and the rest were really fast. That's because it's really hard to pluck the strings and move your fingers across the fingerboard that fast.
Ask yourself how many violinists can play this piece. Then ask yourself how many bass players can play it. Obviously, it is more difficult on bass.
I searched for caprice 24 bass to see if I can probably learn it , and this beast is the first video that pops up. Charles is truly a bass virtuoso 😅
Thanks Charles, the variations are sick!
I can't describe how epic this video is ;) amazing jazz and rock twists you put on the backing track!
Edit: I don't even play bass but I'm gonna do the battle anyways for the chance to learn bass :0
Do it!
@@CharlesBerthoud...Now?
Missing the like button, here, means that one simply doesn't have enough accuracy to TAP the right notes on any instrument. This video is AMAZING! Incredible. TAP LIKE NOW
Charles you give pure emotions.. thank for all..
Unbelievable bass playing thank you so very much.
Charles: *says he practices 40 hours a day*
Me: *gasp* I found a comrade
yes
I challenge you make a version of paginini's caprice n°5, but the crossroads's version
That would be easier than playing the original.
It's called Eugene's trick bag
@@tornadohand I can play that...at quarter speed
@@tornoutlaw i can play that too... But wrong notes and tempo
Easier
Brilliant transcription of Caprice 24. I am working on the trumpet transcriptions and your ideas are inspiring
This is really good! Some of my favorites that you do are the classical pieces that you play ! It really shows your talent and is really enjoyable 😊
Every time I click one of your vids, someone in the comments says "I can't believe he doesn't have more than x subs" and x has always been surpassed.
so i say, I can't believe Charles doesn't have more than 500k subs (epic)
OMG!
Epico!
I got here four years late. Almost 2M, now.
One of the most impressive songs you've done to date. Very well played! Good job Charles.
@Ralph Wiles Whilst some random classical music fan may feel compelled to "correct you" and tell you that in classical music, they're considered "pieces" (not "songs"), nomenclature shouldn't negate or devalue your compliment. So don't be discouraged if *"that one person*" shows up to be a complete knob. =)
I agree that Charles' did an impressive job in arranging this for Bass (and practicing 40 hours a day, 8 Days a Week) to share this with the World.
He's truly an exceptional musician.
holy shit dude. that last one was crazy, but they really were all fantastic. you sir are nuts.
OMFG. I have to get this good. You're wonderfull. Can't wait for more.
Oh wow😍 That's AMAZING!! 👏👏WE NEED TWOSETVIOLIN TO REACT TO THIS NOW
"that was pretty hard"
and yet it looked effortless. brilliantly done and a pleasure to watch.
your accompaniment choices are the hidden treasure in this video
Friend, you are an inspirational musician. Thank you for your video!
Two set reference be like: sup, if you don't get me then go play the viola
Actually bass is the viola in guitar universe ...
@@user-ot2sn1mz7b no, guitar is viola in bass universe. *Calling Davie right now*
Zülküf Kaplan tbf most of my guitarist friends fucking love bass and always want to play mine during rehearsal
Bass+ling ling= bing bing
Charles " The Bing Bing" Berthoud
EDIT: Petition for Charles to actually consider this name. Pls like👍
bling bling?
I see the twosetters are here
@@jaapcramer Maybe better. I suggest u make another comment and let him decide
Charles you've already defeated TwoSetViolin
CHECKMATE!
How lol
No... he followed twoset advice instead and practice 40hrs a day
No you fool
Well technically twosets challenge is sort of a way to like show how hard violin is and twoset challenged Davie to play it on the violin so technically he didn't defeat twoset but at least he did it on the bass better than Brett lmao
@@18devan68 they diss the bass man.. that's why they keep saying defeated..
Variation 7 was groovy AF. Fantastically played Charles!
Challenge for you:
Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata (3rd Movement)
Yess...
BBC TV Host: How did u manage to master this Charles?
Charles: If you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly.
AMAZING!!
So Ling Ling has spilled his secret. It is not only 40 hours a day but also 8 days a week!
Bass virtuosos are born, not made!
That was so unreal, bro! And you play with such great feeling...it’s as wonderful as your MAD skills!
Some people can call themselves Musicians, some can even claim title to being versatile. I dare say you can claim title to both. If one were to choose someone as a role model for music and entertainment for the younger generation I wouldn't hesitate in your nomination. Belonging to an Older Generation, it pleasing and reassuring that not all is lost and there is still brilliance in this crazy world we live in. I hope you never loose the spark of adventure in your musical pursuits.
Let's be honest, nobody searched for this, but we, as Ling Ling wannabes, all enjoyed this video.
Yup!
I searched for it
I searched for it
CHECKMATE
Yup
I searched for it after seeing davie504 be challenged by twosetviolin
I mostly listen to classical piano and violin pieces and I can say this is so interesting to hear! I expect to hear the piece as I've always heard it and suddenly there's different styles and sounds but still just as virtuous as it was initially written! Fantastic job, never expected to be this blown away by a bass cover of a violin piece!
Great as always !!!
No matter how many times I watch this performance it never ceases to amaze me.
This is insane.
"After practicing for forty hours a day"
H E
K N O W S
Why are you reading this comment? YOU SHOULD BE *PRACTICING*
lol
lol ur right tho -sweat-
AMAZING!!
He may look white but he's a Ling Ling
He's a Ling Ling...
OH I WILL SIR PLEASE FORGIVE FOR I HAVE SINNED
It’s truly ridiculous how clean that is...
It looks as beautiful as it sounds!
Bravo amazing performance and techinique greetings from Colombia
That’s incredibly impressive this will never be enough applauded
Bing Bing enters the arena. Ling Ling practices INTENSIFIES!
Lung Lung watches from the sidelines.
The Flute Channel most epic anime betrayals of 2020
Variation 2 sounded so good that I want whole song 😄
I think charles is more suitable match to twoset violin than davie504🤔..
I mean davie is more on slapping and meme music.. While charles is more with tapping, theory and classical music w/c makes a more suitable match to twosetsviolin🤔..
That was aMaZiNg! And interesting of course
Dear God. Brilliantly played.
Violin: G D A E
Bass: E A D G
Literally backwards.
Spot on as always Charles. I gave up violin when I was 14 - with a good musical ear I knew just how bad I sounded. I can't touch a bass without feeling the shame.
@@radtaso738 Yes. I understand musical intervals, I played violin for 9 years before moving to the viola. My point was that the piece was written for violin and therefore this rendition is utterly different in terms of fingering and style; without a bow, but every bit as impressive.
Angry Ted It is really hard to do on bass as well but without a bow it is much easier
anyone else here in the midst of the twoset davie504 war?
Awesome variations dude. All genres included. Approved!
And again, you had me at giveaway! Talented and amazing transcription to the bass here man, timing and accuracy just comes easy to ye haha! Really hope for ye to stay safe amidst these tough times, and great video as always.
Thanks man! Hope you're making the most of being in quarantine (i.e. playing or listening to bass)
@@CharlesBerthoud Thank you so much! Don't worry, I'm getting my share of the bass playing!
I know it isn't a violin, but I think Lingling40hrs would be proud
This was so mesmerizing I forgot about the $1000 bass offer until he mentioned it a second time.
Omg. Every time I think you can’t get any better you’ll come up with something like this😳 you are the best I’ve seen.
Now do La Campanella by Lizst, would love to hear that on bass!!!
Edit: Hungarian Rhapsody no. 2 will do, too!!
Airlangga Diandra Putra nah do paganinis first concerto. It’s what lizst took to make la Campanella. He basically made a variations on paganinis theme.
I’m a bassist myself and I’ve noticed, that your videos either make me insanely inspired to practice, or just quit playing ASAP. This time it was the latter. 😂
All joking aside, mad respect! 👌🏻
Ok I have no words left to describe how much these videos wow and amaze me. TY for being awesome
This proves Paganini was indeed the metalhead of his time
Especially variation 3
The Hendrix of the violin
If Clapton was a violinist
