Hello Charles all the way from North Carolina USA. I've been playing the guitar since I was 7 years old and I'm going on year number 57 now of beings a guitar player. I've worked with and played with MANY bands in my life, club circuit and national bands, and have seen and heard and played with MANY good bass players, but you my friend are hands down the absolute BEST bass player that I've ever seen or heard in my 64 years of being here on this earth!! I'd just about give anything to be able to play in a band with you on the bass guitar!! All I can say is keep up the fantastic work my friend and whatever you do PLEASE don't stop making these videos for us to hear and watch you tearing up the fretboard on your bass guitars!!!!!!! You are the cross between Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen of bass players! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

I saw something similar in a hot ones episode maybe something like that?

[@thegodofpez]

The only bass battle he loses to is against himself.

[@JaminHard]

lmao

[@taylormwilson1]

Chuck Norris of bassists?😂

[@GuitarsRockForever]

He never lost any bass battle, he fought a draw with himself after 69 hours a day bass battle lasted 10 days week.

[@wp_rkl]

loses....but wins at the same time :)

[@GeorgeValkov]

I'm not sure which Charles is better, but they certainly make a good team.

[@estebanquesadas.4983]

Dude's not only has god level bass playing skills but also has mad editing skills as well , awesome video and outstanding playing as usual by Charles .

[@mjmason75]

Yeah, because he's such a monster on bass, I think most people overlook his musical arranging skills, recording/mixing skills, and his video recording/editing skills. Genius level on so many accounts! SICK!!!

[@Jiggerjaw]

The moral of the story: even an Italian plumber with no experience in bass can become Charles Berthoud.

[@Yupppi]

Something about this video is so real. Have we all been there at some point in time? Perfect song for telling that story too.

[@KikiAelita]

Man I love the twist that this is a video about perseverance and not some dude feeling totally crushed by someone else's power. Wholesome, motivational, good stuff

[@theabyssgazethback.4856]

Pretty sure that guy in the video is based on the mortals like me who watch this and can't decide whether to reach for our bass or throw it away lol LMAO it literally is

Eye of the Tiger ❌ Slap of the Tiger ✅

[@crankydonut86]

Ah, clever indeed, but one needs a thumb to slap. So should it be the "Thumb of the Tiger?"🧐

[@galadhr1m]

​@@crankydonut86 lol, you're right. eye is an organ of organism, and i had to write thumb as an organ, instead of slap :D

[@miltonaliff3316]

Oh man, i wish I hadn’t lost my thumb in a mining accident. I do enjoy your videos!

[@GiorgioArdito82]

No punches pulled, just straight slapping

[@ekowapeja]

The other version of Charles should’ve had a Luigi hat on 🫡

Not wrong

Crazy! I’m trying to reach that next level of bass, i’m excited to get there

There's always a next level and it's always exciting when you get there 🔥

[@marklar9156]

Messing up with percussive off-notes you are taking just levels backwards. Bass player is supposed to reinforce the harmony of the song and keep the beat along with the drummer, that "next level" "player" is doing really bad job at both. This stupid fashion of basically bass trolling goes away sooner or later and then you have totally useless "skill".

[@willmaud2359]

@@marklar9156 okay boomer

[@zphayde]

I love how this was done on a 4-string, just really makes this feel that much more approachable to someone getting into the instrument--greatly appreciated!

[@ludicrous7044]

I'm thinkin he's using thinner strings so he can play higher notes because regular bass strings would be too low!! Cleaver!!😏

[@danielsegewitz6956]

This song is a masterpiece and could become an alltime classic

[@ludicrous7044]

It already IS!! 🥊

[@julianjeffbissette7238]

Battle of the basses by the best bass player I've ever seen or heard, and I'm 64 years old and have been playing the guitar since 1967 when I was only 7 years old. I've worked with and played with MANY good bass players in the club circuit and national bands and if I could have him playing bass in my band I'd still be out and about touring right now!!

[@marklar9156]

64 years old and still don't understand anything about music? That's really sad. :( I have written songs from 1986 on (long gap between about 1998 to 2019) and I wouldn't take that guy as my bass player even if somebody would pay me for that.

Love the creativity of your idea here, Charles. 🔥

You might be the best base player I've ever heard. So smooth.

[@Bassoid]

This was such a great idea. Depicts how I feel when I listen to you/actually get to play some of the few things I can play like you :) GREAT STUFF CHARLES !!!

[@JustRandomVideocs]

I wish I could just watch a video and do the same exact thing as the video. That beginner bassist is a natural if he can do that.

[@sanyo_neezy]

Damn, I really did not expect this one to hit so hard :D Had instant goosebumps once person 2 came into the scene for the first time

[@accouswk]

I’ve seen SRV play this 4 times live. I’ve never seen/heard anyone really come close to it … until now. Absolutely amazing.

[@DeeterPlays]

Proof that only Charles can learn to play like Charles. 😅 I’m off to throw away my Stingray bass.

[@GiGA-BOB]

and only you can learn to play like you. Don't play like him, play like yourself.

[@jesusalfredohernandezorozc3836]

Great technique! That’s the result of playing for many years.

[@blakebass1]

Sir Charles, the undisputed heavyweight champion! The video editing is superb and entertaining, and the bass tones are exceptional. Love the sound of the Schecter. Inspiring as always!

[@MsVilecat]

I suggest savoring this slaptastic bass cover on the rye or the kaiser

[@lillockey04]

Excellent edit. Excellent arrangement. Well done!

[@poipoipoipoipois]

1:31 to 1:38 feels so much like gran turismo 4! love it!

That was Awesome 😎 I've seen survivor live. I think they would approve of this 💪

I love that there is a universal bass face and that he does it in this video.

I say it again: I have never ever seen a better Bassist! Just awesome as always

[@earpoison]

Holy crap, that was amazing! Not only your spectacular bass playing, but your video editing has improved with everything new you post. Impressive, as always🤷🏼

[@keithbowman7650]

I'm always in awe of your talent. You inspire me and crush my ego at the same time. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent with us.

[@jimpappas880]

Sir, you never disappoint. Keep up the awesome work!

[@nathanwahl9224]

Well this certainly hits home brutally hard; I didn't start playing bass until I was 50. 18 years later and I still feel like doing the Jaco thing to it when trying to get better. I know there isn't time to even approach this level or anywhere close, but now at least I'm motivated and I'm going to work on tapping this week. Thanks Charles. I think. 😁

[@franciscolameira950]

You were missed in the 80s!!!! Awesomel! 👏👏👏👏

[@7donc]

I've said this before, but I'd like to see Charles on bass, Matteo Mancuso guitar and Valeriy Stepanov on keys to form the greatest progressive rock / jazz fusion band of all-time. Drummer? Perhaps Gergo Borlai?

[@maxwellbrand]

Always love to see the Sterling. They sound amazing.

[@mr_mohaqeq5715]

I watched 1:07 maybe a thousand times on repeat. Damn, that tune is addictive.

[@whereiscarlo]

yeahh babyy full song!! training montage theme next?

[@mwoody4560]

i’d buy the long version of that cover. awesome Charles. 🎉

[@smthnew861]

Charles, you're one of the greatest bass players out there. Not Even kidding

[@imandwihartanto]

I was expecting this one is on Apple Music already. No. not yet. Nicely played. Thanks Charles.

[@starr_ship]

This is very, very tasty on a lot of levels (you now own this song IMO), but especially digging the inclusion of what felt like a more improvisational solo in this one! More please!

[@bowelmusicreleases_DAMF]

Doesn't the MusicMan just sound the best? Love it!

[@1wesell]

Good Morning Charles! You always amaze me! Nothing like a great song being played by a great guitarist♥

[@guitarlessonsalbanywa]

Looks like another day of motivation! I like what you did with the student becomes the master story. I will be sure to get a Mario hat and Joe Dart sunglasses so I can transform. These must be the true bass mastery secrets.

He took one of my favourite songs and rocked it! Great job, loved it 😊

Wow Charles, as always your playing is excellent. I liked the format of this video also, cuz i've been the guy in the hat many times (on a 6 string piccolo bass) and can really relate. It's really great how much your channel has grown as far as subscribers, I only became aware of you through Davie504 one of the first times you were featured on his channel and have followed along ever since
