[@Junkyy-loxa]

The Ichika Nito you featured on spotify doesn't seem to be the right one...

[@kophiedogbey2227]

You need Eminem or Kendrick Lamar to use this. Just the guitar and base. I swear it'll make such a big bloody hit.

underrated

[@Caramelle58]

I don’t see a fight - I just see two brilliant musicians

[@essenceofanarchony8892]

In that case the player wins!

[@tylerbox7867]

Guitar hero boss battle on expert 100%

[@Q-bazZ]

It is like an Orstein and Smough from a DS...

[@Gangstnate]

That promo at the end is such a flex

[@grg537]

ngl his channel is all about flex lol😂 peopl love it tho

[@leroyrobenson]

Love the little Polyphia quote in the middle. Well done!

[@ezrahn]

a lot of Polyphia nods 😂

[@cakeburps]

@@ezrahn Non-guitarist question-- I feel like Ichika has played like this forever. Doesn't the Polyphia feel here come from the tuning and tone? Edit: I forgot about the other "T" -- It's definitely the timing too, yeah...

[@ezrahn]

@@cakeburps Definitely agreed on timing. But beyond just having the similar feel, this song has a ton of direct quotes from PolyPhia in fact the time signature, the polyrhythm beats and the chord progressions of the whole song is a direct copy of Playing God. The artificial harmony at 0:02 and 0:28 is the same as Playing God's intro. The breakout at 0:39 is a nod to Scott Lepage's Playing God at around 2:40. Ichika even uses the same guitar type. The solo at 0:52 is a nod to Steve Vai's solo in Ego Death. 1:05 is a little reference to G.O.A.T. I'll stop here for now 😀

[@nv2332]

​@@ezrahni noticed them too! :D

[@toplobster7714]

Which song did he quote?

[@orca2964]

It’s actually crazy to me how similar these two are in style. Both Charles and Ichika use lots of tapping and harmonics, and go super fast with those things as well. Great job you two!

[@jjohnson8977]

The talking and playing at same time at the end. Is freaking mind blowing. No one can ever know how hard that is. Call me amazed

[@shepzero167]

Catchiest music battle of all time.

[@ross-carlson]

of "whole" time? I think you mean of "all" time, right?

[@shepzero167]

@@ross-carlson oh sorry I used auto complete system so it happened

[@ChrisHargrave23]

That ad read was incredible. Haha

[@CharlyBGoode39]

You re both légends. Can t stop listening!

[@fwkb2]

Beautiful! This may be my favorite collab yet.

[@Nathan_North]

New 6 string looks awesome and this is a great collab🔥

[@starr_ship]

This is incredible, as always! I would love to see these guys collab on some longer-form, more compositional stuff; a rock opera of sorts but in their idiom. They likely made this video when half a world apart, so imagine all the textures these two could make should they get together in a room for a prolonged period of time.

[@metalavenger23]

I hope that 6 sting bass becomes a new expansion to his artist line. It’s a beautiful bass and sounds fantastic, and I’d love to own one.

[@blackeneddove]

My two favorite guitarists in one video?? The stuff of legends. ❤

[@DegonTheMighty]

The two gods battle once again. Beautiful work as always! Thanks for yet another amazing performance.

[@Mintey.0]

New bass?? Beautiful 🔥

[@roddurbanerjee9635]

Well done Charles! You inspire us everyday.

[@axelalmeidaguerra1309]

this riffs is insane ❤‍🔥

[@clavis9029]

The fuuuu.... That was awesome! You guys rock, we seriously need more of this!

[@milovaldiviezo9064]

Love the new bass! Love your videos and the impact you make in my life and every young bassist life!

[@ia7072]

Imagine a collab with Charles, Ichika, Davi, Tim Henson and Marcin ?

[@TDL1900]

You're forgetting the monster guitarist Lil Wayne.

[@alphagt62]

You mean a band? Yes! All of these amazing talents are wasting away on KZbin while they could be a touring band! Writing the new songs to change the musical landscape for the better!

[@monabri7387]

Thanks for reminding us. Please make it go away!

[@perpetualbystander4516]

If you mean Davie504 then I'd say he's not good enough to join.

[@DinoBryce]

​@@perpetualbystander4516Nah 😂

[@bascuthach]

i was enjoying the tune and you stopped, WE WANT MORE!!!!

[@gem3020]

Both of these people make me feel so bad at instruments haha

[@auradmg]

It's important to remember that KZbin is both a source of amazing inspiration and a source of the worst imposter syndrome. Compared to 20 years ago when you'd read about the pros in magazines or see them on TV, every aspiring artist is now force-fed content from the most amazing talent in the world, with handy reminders sent to your pocket that they're churning out material every day that you'll never be capable of. The key is to focus on your own journey.

[@sandratrarambeloson144]

i see them as professional rally or racing car pilots and myself as just a normal dude driving a car. Knowing how to drive a car may be enough for most people.

[@TommyLeeDepp]

Way too amazing!

[@Harry-xs1dd]

Yo I like your bass playing

[@hugecrit1561]

This is insane, amazing performances.

[@williammcallister9211]

Ayyy, always love to see yall work!

[@AndersAkutsuHedenrud]

Worth watching twice. Happy subscriber to both channels ❤

[@TheVagueIdeas]

you two need to release an album!

[@kennethcananua77716]

Best collab ever seen

[@philipajfry]

When Ichika started shredding instead of mathing, it was so cool - cause I've never heard him play that way. It was a good fusion of traditional soloing and the mathy phrasing.

[@downhillnut2273]

I was thinking the same.

[@user-rg6ib4ct7z]

Good job my friend

[@patrickwilliam3322]

That lower chord at 0:20 is sick

[@jesseweigel8397]

Love the collab... I might be more impressed by the Incogni advert while playing Classical Thumb though 🤯

[@bassplayer463]

I know it was only done during the worst 3 years of our lives, but it would be awesome to see another great collab. I miss those. They are really awesome to watch.

[@grumpyoldwizard]

Wow. To masters playing together. Thank you.

[@cobrasys]

Incredible, both of you. Superb, really.

[@PiePlayzBASS]

So close to 2Mil subs! This was a great collab from the both of you! Absolutely amazing musicianship. I love your videos Charles :)

[@patrickwilliam3322]

A bass version of Classical Gas or similar sounding piece would be awesome (edit: of course it can be done, this is Charles Berthoud)

[@srsbsns7673]

CB6 looking sexy. I prefer the CB4 colorway but it definitely makes sense to have unique colorways per model.

[@thomasskeen5077]

Wow guys... awesome

[@christhomas412]

Somehow this just doesn't seem like a versus.. what nice collab though :)

[@trebm]

Thats a fine bass you have there!

[@cryptonite9994]

Tasty licks, foundational chops, These two...excellent Recipe for a Great Musical...gourmet Meal. Ty it was delicious

[@samuelconnolly347]

No idea how I missed the notification for this, but this is the collaboration we've all been dreaming of! Great stuff lads.

[@JaxenB]

More of this please! More collabs with great guitarists just like this. More with Ichika too.

[@MRmaningrey]

Thank you for sharing the many skills that you share. 🙏🏼👍🎶

[@HollyBrauch]

Nice battle, New bass, Do I see. Shecter CB-6 in the future?

[@G.SpotBandG]

Smell like there will be a Schecter CB6 Bass soon :) Besides that 2 virtousity find peace in harmony

[@tatalmarak5657]

Yessssss... our fav guitarists met finally! Thanks everyone for your prayers for this moment❤

[@mikedegracias8616]

Nice colllab! More of this please!

I could listen to this all day

[@dongxingyaoyang8550]

[@robertwellsrawbass1249]

God I love me a good charles bass line..and his advertisements are second to none..if you can play classical Thump while pitching a product...I'm buying 💯

Two absolute beasts.

[@MiKo-lb9de]

What a beautiful bass❤

[@Bass-Sama87]

Epic Schecter 6-string bass!🤘👺🔥

[@DirtObseXXion]

That was awesome 😮

[@lpi1565]

Been waiting that for ages

[@Half_Man_Half_Bearpig]

This, is very nice. More, please.

[@justastranger101]

Have you tried covering DVNO by justice? I swear, that song has the BEST bass solo ever.

[@zackbean2149]

Most Awesome Yet !! Watch as much I can. Play some strings of diff. Flavors. Much fun..

[@Gio81Sa]

That new six strings looks sick. Assuming that's probably going to be a new signature with schecter maybe? Still, this one was amazing, you and Ichika pair up really good togheter!

[@jjjmethosjjj]

Step 1: Open new Charles Berthoud video Step 2: Like the video immediately Step 3: Watch the video Step 4: Accidentally unlike and then re-like the video Step 5: Play the video again

Whhhoow😮😮🤩🙏🥰💯✨️😎🤘🤘🤘 In your face! I think you both are playing so good together that you've reached the maximum ! Better isn't possible! ❤😊

[@ShadowNX01]

The epicness level of this video is impossible to measure... two god-tier players and a godlike piece of music... let's listen one more time... and one more...!

Oddly, one of my favorite parts of this video is the lack of the floating bridge on ichika's guitars. 🙏👍

[@WorldBoba]

0:50 🔥🔥🔥

A collaboration I had no idea i needed!!
