It requires a paid membership. Tho I'd love to support you I can't do that. I Was really interested in seeing how you did that fast ghost note triplets.

[@rigorousbean]

That cute little triplet slap sound is so sick.

[@skierpage]

True, but it's on the wrong beat. "I'm UP all night to have fun"

[@FunkyFlo]

00:49 it's an octo++let ;)

[@curiousuranus810]

That's more than a triplet.

[@overtonesnteatime198]

triplet pluck thank you much

[@TheAbsolyte]

Almost like he's rolling the letters

[@styloboi6032]

The Voyager synth melody at 1:28 gave me goosebumps

[@beacurnearecurvata188]

When "this helmet cost way too much" came up at 2:00 I sang that sentence with that melody.

[@monkeybarmonkeyman]

Sick - it fits!

[@TrossOfTheAlba]

Ooo. Good catch.

[@Kaktysh_metal]

I guess he did that on purpose

[@WEKM]

But the neon strings and LED lighting on the bass are the perfect counterpoint.

[@JasonSchmidt-1979]

Now I can’t not do it

[@RockinHorea]

I'm in love with the angelic sound of the synthy harmonies starting at 1:44

[@abcbcd1834]

That triplet pluck is WILD. Adds so much flavour

[@Axel_Andersen]

Oh yeah, loved it, such a nice little lick!

[@antongryffindor]

Any chance there's a tutorial on this technique?

[@DrewThePirate]

god damn yeah I'm drunk and I just clicked on this because sure why not great song love bass and then that tripluck happened and I had an out of body experience

I was in a US Navy electronics school in 1969 and early 1970. There was a band that played at the EM club. The lead guitar was a bass. They were fantastic. I have no clue who they were but I wish streaming was available in those days. I love your music. Thanks for the all the pleasure you provide to my ears.

[@Somebody-lv9rz]

The absolute skill in that one bit with multiple slaps in one movement is insane.

[@nicholasorr6051]

I cannot handle the amount of COOL in this video!! The see through, light up bass; the glow in the dark strings; the light-up fret dots; an actual Daft Punk helmet.... Not to mention Charles just shredding it up like usual anyway... Make it stop already!!

[@IRIDEHARLEYS]

Futuristic Tapocalypse and Slapocalypse had me hooked and the lights were mesmerizing. I had to play this song on repeat many times and I still can't get enough!

[@RC32Smiths01]

Only halfway through the song does he already become one with Daft Punk. Fantastic arrangement

[@CharlesBerthoud]

Thanks!

[@ematise]

Yes great creativity 😅thanks for not doing the original bass only 😂

[@cooldebt]

As long as we don't call him the Daft One! 🙃

[@bean9seventy]

@@CharlesBerthoud Remember ? no one knows who daft punk really are , except for the very few ,, all i will say is "i think" George Michael knows them, Possibly* Jamiroquai Lucky 5555 . omg ; D

[@deadbrother5355]

This man is a wizard. Protecc him at all slaps.

[@44Lanny]

You got me smiling, laughing, playing drums on my office chair and just feeling great for 2 minutes and 40 seconds during your performance, and the feeling will last all day. Thanks, I needed that!

[@quirkyviper]

I've never heard someone play an instrument in an accent! How you roll the N in "night" like you would an R in Spanish is amazing!

[@2handsomeforlaw]

The skilful execution and the groove you lay down are absolutely electrifying!

[@nolake]

I knew you were a robot, too good to be true. Jeez what a jam.

[@ColinSankeyBass]

Most people can't appreciate just how difficult it is to pull off those triple plucks starting at 0:49 - those are 32nd notes with the index, middle, and ring fingers plucking the string just hard enough that the string snaps against the fretboard in quick succession. That must have taken a TON of practice!

[@CaptainTedStryker]

I can't think of any bassist EVAR who used this technique before either! Charles is insanely dextrous, just wow.

[@MixingGBP]

Check out some music by bassist Stanley Clarke. He uses multiple fingers to pluck the strings for decades.

[@YippeeSkippie426]

Unless you're Charles doing these videos, triple plucks get you fired from actual, real, paying gigs. Musically and groove-wise, what's so great about them?

[@georgiykireev9678]

​@@YippeeSkippie426it's a fun way to break up a stale rhythm. Used more sparingly in the context of a normal song it could be quite cool

[@wallybonejengles5595]

He was really playing that splish splash!

[@willbruh1725]

People don't realise how crazy it is that he puts out these great original songs on such a regular basis. Always pushing himself to write something new for us. We appreciate it!

[@MinteyXF]

Were up all night to get funky 🔥 🔥 Love the helmet 😂

[@CharlesBerthoud]

It looks awesome but it's a nightmare to actually play in. The same can be said for most of my costumes, at least the second part 🤣

[@agentclank8183]

Was thinking the exact same thing.

[@InstrumentManiac]

So freakin good

[@ricktheexplorer]

The Green Neon coated strings look great with the lighting, and the playing is masterful. Great show!

[@mattlofty5884]

Where can I get these strings ?

[@ricktheexplorer]

@@mattlofty5884 DR makes color coated strings. The coating stops rust and some people say they sound better than non-coated. I have black or blue strings on my guitars that are black or blue.

[@martinepstein9826]

@@mattlofty5884 The brand is DR strings.

[@rossmuir4609]

Charles, you've got insane chops but the great thing is you keep the music front and centre . my hat is off to you. Cheers, Ross

[@Jwinius]

Charles produces another fabulous rendition of a pop song as though it was completely normal. Luck for us! Perhaps one of these efforts will eventually be so good it will even bring Winston back to life.

[@pnut3844able]

Did you just call Daft Punk pop? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Jwinius]

Merci!

[@jg54sayaka11]

love the little harder faster better stronger easter egg with the arpeggios at 1:28

[@GabrielMartinez-zu6li]

Im pretty sure that part is from “Voyager” (go to 2:14 in the song) but that’s another bop too😎

[@raymondwall8187]

Thanks!

[@ronckr1]

That upward triplet move is ace. Great video again, loved the SBL interview too.

[@capybara-eo2vl]

My favorite thing to do to random people is ask if they know who this guy is. If they don’t, I’ll show them one of these videos and watch as their face goes from neutral to pure awe

[@GresSimJa]

Not seeing anything in the helmet just makes it more awesome. You can play blind.

[@woody442]

I agree it looks out of this world, even tho as a pianist I can tell that your eyes are much slower than your muscle memory and with practice playing mostly blind comes automatically. It’s like shifting gear in a car, if you did it 5 gazillion time, watching is pointless.

[@bassbuffricky]

@@woody442I was about to say the exact same thing. It's all muscle memory (and a gazillion hours of practice).

[@emiki6]

He can probably see tho, otherwise why would he look at his hand. He just sees very poorly in that helmet I guess.

[@jonbourgeois8390]

Jedi powers

[@WAF74]

Playing Blind you say? Would that make him... Charles Ray-toud? (I'll see myself out)

[@RPG_Bliss]

It’s like that guy who keeps saying “It needs more cowbell” But he’s saying “It needs more bass!” And you keep delivering! Awesome song and awesome led bass !

[@d0gh0t]

omg this one is soooooooooo good!!!! please do a something about us cover (also by daft punk) too, that one also has a very good bass

[@Carl0s2o]

Perhaps one of the best solos I've ever heard! It fits in so well with Get Lucky, keep it up!

[@GabrielMartinez-zu6li]

Check out their song voyager! If you liked that I bet you’d love minute 2:14 in that song👍🏽👍🏽 (I think he sampled the solo from that)

[@superipermagererata5084]

OKAY BUT THAT BASS IS INSANE

[@gmoney1065]

The tapping during Future Tapocalypse was really nice note choices over the chords.

[@GabrielMartinez-zu6li]

I believe it’s from daft punk’s song “voyager” at 2:14 in the song. You’d love it🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@creightonbarkved]

My man!! That was a damn fine treat!! Thanks so much. I love that song and your rendition truly did slap.

I genuinely think Dua Lipa's "Levitating" needs some bass attention, Charles. What do you think?

🔥🔥🔥 glad you popped up on my feed.

[@gerzmtovsstupidchannel977]

I would be inclined to call this a bass, a tenor, an alto, and a treble.

As I was watching the first half, I was thinking that Charles should be wearing robot helmet while playing this, and BAM! He played the rest wearing one! 🤖🤗

I'm sad that i can't go back and see ny comments because they were on community posts which disappear, but either way... I think I've played this video over 50 times, and the fact that it's available as an mp3 blows my mind. I used the crazy tapping part as my ringtone and it's insanely amazing. As always Charles, thanks for sharing your legendary talents with us!

ngl kind of in love with this cover, and the thought put behind it. Switching to a somewhat jazzy/futuristic tone while wearing the helmet was genius, and I'm so sad that it's not available for streaming.

I don't think any of the other pieces you've made so far comes close to comparing with this one! This just sends me away to a different place!
