Hi

[@natropie900]

When two final bosses fight each other

[@JUSTIBeats]

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...

[@SetZor666]

Per usual, the winner is us again

[@Code12art]

[@Gangstnate]

That promo at the end is such a flex

[@grg537]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@shepzero256]

Catchiest music battle of all time.

[@ross-carlson]

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

[@shepzero256]

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

[@ChrisHargrave23]

That ad read was incredible. Haha

[@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 😂

[@fwkb2]

Beautiful! This may be my favorite collab yet.

[@Nathan_North]

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

[@Mintey.0]

New bass?? Beautiful 🔥

[@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.

[@bascuthach]

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

[@roddurbanerjee9635]

Well done Charles! You inspire us everyday.

[@DegonTheMighty]

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

[@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 a 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.

[@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.

[@grumpyoldwizard]

Wow. To masters playing together. Thank you.

[@williammcallister9211]

Ayyy, always love to see yall work!

[@clavis9029]

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

[@TheVagueIdeas]

you two need to release an album!

[@patrickwilliam3322]

That lower chord at 0:20 is sick

[@TommyLeeDepp]

Way too amazing!

[@Harry-xs1dd]

Yo I like your bass playing

[@AndersAkutsuHedenrud]

Worth watching twice. Happy subscriber to both channels ❤

[@philcorbett5992]

I could listen to this all day

[@tatalmarak5657]

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

[@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.

[@billgibson7899]

Two absolute beasts.

[@lpi1565]

Been waiting that for ages

[@A.B.H_da-goat]

Finally a worthy opponent, there battle will be legendary

[@cobrasys]

Incredible, both of you. Superb, really.

[@WAHYUBUDI28]

😇I always waiting for this happened again 🙏

[@iolqc]

That is what can be called : "mesmerizing talent!"

[@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.

[@jesseweigel8397]

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

[@avalerionbass]

That two octave tone solo would have been GREAT in the last shred collab! That was awesome!

[@Half_Man_Half_Bearpig]

This, is very nice. More, please.

[@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!

[@BADISkettu]

The amount of skill in this video is insane.

[@Bass-Sama87]

Epic Schecter 6-string bass!🤘👺🔥

[@easyfreetutor]

My face just melted

[@yoshi3028]

That was awesome 😮

[@kennywilson2129]

Delightful! Arigato for the ear candy!

[@JaxenB]

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

[@PiePlayzBASS]

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

[@carlsolo9409]

And the winner is... everybody who listened.

[@davewebster5120]

great collab!

[@hugecrit1561]

This is insane, amazing performances.

[@drifter811]

And remember kids: If someone says that "there's no good music nowadays", show them this.

[@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 💯

Love seeing the collabs with other musical gods

[@jonaschan]

Is that a schecter CB6😮

[@auradmg]

It's amazing how Tim Henson's style has integrated itself into music culture

[@milovaldiviezo9064]

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

[@ZenHardcore]

Getting some "Playing God" vibes here :)

[@Avram42]

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

[@earpoison]

Reminds me of Bucket Head’s work with Bootsy Collins ❤

[@zackbean2149]

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

[@1234drums]

Such a power duo we got here 😮

[@therealfearsome]

damn... you are on your way to becoming a Bass Icon of all time...

I really hope this collab is to be continued 🔥🎸

[@letuotter]

can this video just go on for literally forever?

[@bene8114]

gents... it was great!

[@st0rmrider]

Congrats on the 2M!

[@DirtObseXXion]

Love the nod to Polyphia, acknowledging the influence was genius! Incredible collab!

[@holzi224]

that battle was wayyyy too short, you don't see 2 legends playing together that often lul

[@Nicky_Bobby]

Unreal. So good.

[@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...!
