7 Steps To Writing GREAT Basslines

[@CharlesBerthoud]

Wow!! This has to be the best bass tutorial I've ever seen! Subbed!

[@BassCampOfficial]

Thanks Charles! Great to see you here!

[@richardbennett1492]

It really is isn’t it

[@joopnotyop]

LETS GOOO

[@nokia-gm8gv]

yo wasnt waiting for you here

[@pfinki523]

Hi I just subscribed to your channel

[@KrazyCouch2]

Damn what a crazy underrated channel! This guy deserves at least 1.62 million subscribers!!

[@Defunction3]

Ik right 😂😂😂

[@MythixMusic1]

Lol

[@kentlofgren]

You're onto something there my friend ;-)

[@rynoclashgaming186]

Davie504 watch out charles in coming for your subs

[@nyobunknown6983]

He has a lot more subscribers on his main channel.

[@dariusbass]

when he said there is a fill at the end of the phrase i don’t know why i’ve expected a 100 notes tapping fill :)))

[@DominusFeles]

This video could happily be followed up by both theory on a lower level (what the bass is a 5:th?) and higher level (how to Charles), and I for one would watch them instantly!

[@Roberto-nn6kb]

5 th is fifth interval, seven semitones (frets) between the notes For example fifth of e chord will be b, for d chord will be a , etc.

[@DominusFeles]

@@Roberto-nn6kb It was an example of what a more beginner focused video could include, not a question 😊

[@RamsonMusic_]

This channel is so underrated. You deserve a million subscribers!!!

[@BassCampOfficial]

Haha thank you 😊

[@inquisitiveterrestrian]

@@BassCampOfficial More than a million... maybe some crazy number like, I don't know, 1.62 million

[@Nathan_North]

A second channel was a brilliant idea and I'm greatly looking forward to seeing more videos here! Thank you Charles!

[@Matthew_Klepadlo]

Wow! This dude is one of the most bass players of all times! I mean, one of the most!!!

[@TheYellingIdiot]

I thought Charles was a guest, then thanks to the comment section, I know it's just his second channel. Subbed and hope you get the subscribers you deserve.

[@raulgupta3418]

That Davie don't even n share his bass knowledge with us... Thanks for opening this channel.

[@8Phoenix8]

Charles berthoud brought me here. 👍🏾

[@BreslovMan]

Happy to be here from the first video. I'm waiting to find out how you do that double slappy thing.

[@REMcVey]

Charles, I am extremely grateful for your work and leading the bass culture to new realms. You are one of my favorite bassists of the 21st century!!!

[@tnasir2003]

Great lesson! If some constructive criticism is fine then I think it would be nice to add the chords in the backing track along with the drums to put the bassline into harmonic context for newer players. Also if you choose to incorporate said backing tracks into future videos then choosing to share them to KZbin viewers would provide us something more to practice with to come up with our own basslines! Excited to see where the channel will go :)

[@TheGeoffable]

Hello new channel! Great idea, doesn't dilute your existing channel, makes it easier for actual bass newbs like me to find the more technical stuff 👍🤘

[@JasonLuther1]

This guy is going to be recognized!

[@alecrisser12]

That progression you're using is something I've been playing from the beginning. It's a super common progression, making it a good choice.

[@DeeterPlays]

Great lesson! Can’t wait for more! Thanks Charles!

[@joeearle8050]

Great Tutorial! you always give me some sort of Inspiration when ever I watch one of your videos.

[@NZP-Bass]

It seems incredible that you start with this electric bass channel, it will be of great support, and rest assured that you will have my support if possible, Charles, thank you very much

[@ea-guitar1170]

Graet tutorial ! As guitarist who need to record some bass lines sometimes, I'm really excited with this channel ! Thanks !!

[@BenZahl-Poet]

i cant wait to put these tips into practice! Berthoud ol' chap, your a diamond. i've made notes an found a list of common chord progressions to work with. time to rock some socks!

[@mwilbur7374]

Love how easy you relayed music theory components to track in this process. Love the video and he concept of the new channel. Looking forward to future content.

[@imguy581]

dude a tapping tut video would be so awesome. I'v listened to a couple of your songs and it looks so fun

[@BrainWasherAttendent]

I write baselines every week. I’ll never remember it use them but it’s fun to keep up with it for decades on end.

[@grzegorzbrzeczyszczykiewic4061]

Daamn Charles you are one of the most talented people ever. I just bought a 5 string ibanez and it sounds absolutely amazing!

[@dungeon_memelord623]

i first watched this video nearly 2 months ago, and i swear your bassline hasn't left my head since. you clearly know your stuff

[@MythixMusic1]

This channel is off to a great start!! Can't wait to follow closely

[@robinwells5343]

Don't even play bass anymore but Charles is the GOAT and deserves the subs on this channel too!! Real talent should get paid better

[@johnadriel1140]

Gonna follow this channel hope I get better

[@gavinjones3637]

Not only a system for composing bass lines, that has also helped me understand a few bass lines that I've been trying to learn. Thank you. Subbed

[@therealmorganofficial]

You sir are the goat

[@39djscottie]

Thank you Charles for this new channel. I think it's time to pick up my old bass again and have some fun once more.

[@poolfixerdude]

Thank you. For serious, thank you. You're the man, and you share the how's n why's of how you do it. Bravo.

[@ccaa7674]

That white bass on the wall is my fav out of all of em there

[@moidfpv]

This is so cool! You're a great teacher! Looks like I'll be digging out my bass tonight after work

[@mikecarpenter3819]

Thanks Charles, I know I will continue to enjoy all your content going forward!

[@hugheytheboi]

What a time to be alive

[@adrianv8378]

I've been waiting for this with so much entusiasm, i'm sure your lessons will give me the last steps to become a PRO BASSIST !!!

[@chriswilkinson2548]

Wow!! This has to be the best bass tutorial I've ever seen! Subbed!. You took the text right out my writing

[@gregheadrick5443]

I play by ear mostly but have recently learned to read tabs.. this is AWESOME! Thanks for another great channel!

[@russellcohen640]

Oh this channel is going to be so good! Thank you for this. You have so much skill, I look forward to learning what you have to teach.

[@putputlawch6770]

Congratulations on the first vid of many to come! It was nice following along on my *guitar* hehe

[@LandoBassMan]

Once my bass teacher taught me how cord progressions worked, that 1 one cord is just the 1st note of the scale and so on. Coming back to this video I completely understand what hes talking about.

[@Riccardo_Silva]

I think this is THE most useful tuto i've ever seen (and i watched a lot, many of them very good too!).

[@ChrisLT]

Off to a fine start!

[@laynedameron7527]

Yes ! Love this video ! More please !

[@PhillStone]

Loved this lesson, short and to the point! Thanks for this!

[@colebenning2353]

One of theeee best bass lessons I have ever watched. Thank you so much dude 🤘

[@sherlock4791]

Never subscribed to a channel this fast in my life

[@Zebix]

The fact that you propose sheet music and not only tabs, is just magical for us classically-trained musicians. Not a lot of pro's out there doing that. GREAT, indeed.

[@garethmtbarnes]

the sheet music is essential for real understanding and progress!

[@Finvaara]

Good quality lesson. I'll be referring back to it, i predict

[@Olav-Andre]

Im happy you made this channel, its going to help so many people in the future! :D

[@pedrogarcia-ow7qm]

Im starting a band and we will begin composing, this will help me A LOT

[@Pete_Furlong]

This was super helpful for me just for starting points to compose daw bass lines.

[@stanleywilliamsbigdreams7867]

Dude is truly brilliant. I go around and around with the guitarist in my church band about how he thinks everything should be done by ear and how I want to analyze stuff. I think “just doing it” leaves a lot of options on the table. Analysis is fun to me and makes me more able to be original. Subbed

[@melantorja]

i've been following this channel since 97 great job as always!

[@EdwardRichtofen69]

97?

[@Lowdown_1904]

This was spectacularly clear and helpful. Looking forward to seeing where this channel goes.

[@volodyaperes2412]

Thanks! The multi-layered theme is explained very clearly step by step. You have good teaching skills.

[@stevesullivan8405]

Very very well put together, Charles! Not intimidating, very smooth. Thanks brother

[@enricolemone4926]

Thks Charles !! May the bass be with you

[@gomezfriesen]

Can't wait to see everything you do here! I always thought of bass as just a thing you needed to be in the background somewhere, but not too loud, and definitely not drawing attention to itself. You made me question my choice of instruments, and made me look at music in a completely different way.

[@god-awful]

wow, i am super stoked for this channel man. youre def one of my top bassists. keep on slappin'

[@guascamsb8138]

Damn this lesson is pure gold! Simple, effective, and potentially producing beautiful songs. I can't wait to try it out! Thank you very much! ❤

[@Blackout_Films]

YES FINALLY, a bass tutorial I can understand!!! Maybe explain the vocab a little bit more, but other than that I have no complaints!

[@dpruittt09]

Hey Charles, just wanna say I don't even play bass (guitarist) but I still really enjoy your videos and think you are an absolute beast of a musician. Keep crushing it! ❤

[@Laz_Arus]

Great to be here on day one. I predict this channel will hit a million subscribers. 😉🎸

[@BassJazz]

Hello Charles thanks for this great lesson very clear and instructive Phil

[@rocketcello5354]

Great vid dude! Thanks. Helped me a lot with experimenting with music styles outside what I normally make (rock/funk rather than synthwave)

[@BassCampOfficial]

Glad to hear it!

[@foxmountainwoodworks9430]

Very nicely done, I look forward to many more videos on this channel. Thank you.

[@pink6515]

This guy is good! Underrated channel!

[@JCLavish]

Thank you so much for starting this channel. I haven't played in over a decade, and i am absolutely interested in getting back into it. I would love to see some sort of breakdown or guide to setting up decent tone. That is one thing I always struggled with back when I was playing.

[@yama_enmaten]

i found the video really interesting despite playing the synth and not an actuall bass! will definitely keep these tips in mind

[@adrianrock4610]

It is great to see one of the best bass players in the entire world sharing how to make magic from beggining. This channel is going to be a real succes im sure and most important its going to chage lives.

[@matyasgt8185]

Excellent. Very simple but complete at the same time. I love it

[@LaminarGrooves]

Love the video! Excited for another channel of BASS. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@user-ir2bj3re1z]

Great lesson man👍. Thank you

[@heckensteiner4713]

Really great tips and super easy to follow! I'm not a theory guy by amy stretch, but I sort of picked up patterns similar to this naturally by listening to some of my favorite basslines and noodling around. Now I can apply some structure and purpose to my noodling!

[@RC32Smiths01]

Exciting man! Can't wait to see more!

[@nilssonschmillson5395]

Lessons from the Master! Composition is the most interesting aspect of music imo.

[@heymanniceshot4023]

Great video and tutorial, very comprehensive, even for those who don't understand and speak English fluently like me. Thanks for your job.

[@nicoanon]

im so excited for the you’re gonna post

[@workthenplay]

I've been waiting this channel for years! Yus! We wanna play....if even the slightest amount...like the Fiver PRO! Subbed!

[@gustavomartyns]

The video help so much, i even forget to come back to see the rest

[@priismabnnuy]

i can’t read sheet music and i have no instrumental knowledge outside of singing, but i was surprised i knew a lot of this stuff! like, i know what sounds good to me and why i want something in the songs i write, but i never learned any technical terms outside of what measures and chords are, so i could never explain to someone why i chose something, only that it “matches the vibes i want”. i’m saving up money to buy a bass, so thank you in advance!

[@gigirealmartinez1493]

Thank you so much 4 creating this channel, greetings from México master!

[@joewehner9837]

Thank you sooo much for doing this, looking forward to more!

[@aelechko]

Love it, thanks man!

[@demiadisa7162]

Really enjoyed and learned from this video!!! Can’t wait for more lessons

[@tofusauce]

This channel is a gem

[@turtletombstone]

I can proudly say that I learned every bass lesson ok this channel!

[@COD8player4life]

Great work Charles! Keep it up!

[@Alysell]

great video dude! exited to see more in the future.

[@aromaz01023]

Great start! I hope to see lots more from you!

[@Arqade_Gaming1]

thank you, Charles, this helped a lot

[@cooperkupar9755]

You're one of the best bass player on earth bro 👍👍👍

[@gotmilk91]

An excellent and practical tutorial(!) with musical foundation and fun to boot! 🎵🎸🎶

[@Thorsten_Kueppers]

Aaaaand, subscribed 😬 Very nice lesson!!

[@HubLocationSound]

👍🏼 There’s not many bass teachers doing these types of videos/lessons. I’d love to see more examples… specifically it’d be great if you took an existing guitar part and then wrote bass for it explaining the theory/approach/thought-process of why you choose certain notes/rhythm/etc.

[@fredgerd5811]

Awesome lesson! Thx Charles. I'm loving this channel already.

[@jerilnadar1938]

Great going Charles. Looking forward to many more videos
