Yes you and Davide Biale has inspired me to start learning bass, unfortunately i have not visited your basscamp, but i rather learn from you in person tbh. I am not normal so i dont learn like normal people :) also i use my ears as a tool, they are pretty 100% on pitch, by that i just mean that if you play 5 notes to me while im blindfolded, i will find the same 4 notes blindfolded just using my ears, but i am not THAT trained that i could by ear exactly what notes you are playing, or actually the G note i can probably tell you, at least the light open G, makes the same sound as my egg cooker when the eggs are finnished lol

[@FingalPersson]

great asong btw, hey, if you have LANDR and want to play something with me some day, please tell me, i can play guitar and bass, not like you but, good enough to jam with you =)

[@-kingofsaiyannappa-9057]

Battle with this bass prodigy please?? --->@EllenPlaysBass

[@joeash7558]

Lol Charles man I love you dude I got back into playing my bass more seriously after discovering you through KZbin. Your playing is a breath of fresh air and relaxes me enough to help me get into the right mindset to get back to playing and recording

[@gbenselum]

In-person collab with Davie when?

Davie is not real, so is impossible

Looking forward to the new content! Enjoying watching the evolution. Hopefully you’ll go on tour and I’ll get to watch you play live someday.

That's because it's a cover of their song Voyager

[@st0rmrider]

@@DJOlivia82 Thanks!

[@sarcofalo]

I honestly believe that there are no bassist who can be as good as Charles. There are just so many layers and depth in what he does. Technique, phrasing, melody, dynamics, tone and creativity separate Charles from everybody else. Just an amazing solo!!!

[@Cornerboy73]

Wishing you continued success Charles.

[@sebastienjeannot1236]

What a groove on this one.... What a groove...

[@thudable]

Much Respect Sir ! Outstanding ! Thanks !

[@toesnt]

never heard a bass sound so good on its highest notes, its so clear and full of the same tone those pickups are magical

[@Komatik_]

It's not the pickups. Setup, signal chain, processing.

[@ScootsMcPoot]

This is why you HAVE to invest in good equipment.

[@SethCrowderMusic]

I sound like everyone else sure, but as a piccolo bassist its super fascinating to see how you've learned such a wild way of playing strings on a fretboard. As i've watched your videos i've sort of developed more of an appreciation for what you do as i'm picking out what all you do on the bass versus backing tracks. At first i was sort of like "oh so its like alot of it is editing" but the more i watch the more impressed i am because i can pick out whats what, of course its always been impressive. But just how you've changed your way of playing bass while having a fun personality, and are pretty good at producing, piccolo bass, synth, and keys. Its no wonder your as successful as you are

[@juggernaut3299]

Once again, amazing to watch and listen. Thanks!

[@ryeen94]

It's giving Voyager x Daft Punk in the BEST way. Masterfully done.

[@MarcoPolo-ze3ie]

James Jamerson and Carol Kaye must both be proud. One of the beautiful things I have heard on the bass!

[@karnalberts2796]

It's nice to listen to you, there's always something new. Bravo ❗

[@andrewsteinhaus8267]

Can’t wait to hear more originals from you. You have a wonderful way of arranging the music

[@andrewwatson8615]

A tour? Sounds so cool! Looking forward Charles. 👌

[@penpaperpower]

It's very pleasing to see that, given everything you've already achieved, you're still looking to evolve your skills and style. I wouldn't say that I 100% vibe with every single song you put out, but most of them are total bangers and in all of your videos your unparalleled skill as a bassist and composer is obvious.

[@moosewild4239]

Very nice. Makes you close your eyes and feel the beat.

[@MrSkeptik-z5r]

Very smooth

[@corentinfauquet4555]

Funky as funk! Very good one, didn't expect the 8-bits part, that's cleverly embedded in the whole music :)

[@gregartman9827]

Your tone is so awesome

[@mylittledragong]

I loved how you just kept popping up in the beginning… ❤😊🎉

[@paolopiva2283]

Always a very pleasant listen ...

This track is so cool!

[@NeoNoggie]

Big fan of your originals, glad to see you moving more in that direction!

[@sine_0]

I absolutely love how you are using the feeling of it being more real as fuel to do even more and inspiration! A fan for life, I love you Charles!

[@sleepwalker2112]

So glad to see you succeed! You're a real nice guy, so genuine and dedicated, you deserve every bit of it.

[@iplaybass6690]

[@Rluce75]

Feels like a great tune to race in a video game! Love the Game Boy edition lol

[@ryanveach246]

On a nighttime level through a downtown setting.

[@jmkqfnvyl87]

Very kingly bass playing! We should all mark this moment down with a celebratory like smash. The level of musicianship is the kind expected of someone who might be in their early forties but you have surpassed it at such an early stage of life.

[@aminezouaoui9529]

Mr charles haven't lied, very catchy beautiful bass solo

[@stancurtin]

Your plans sound amazing. Can't wait... Big fan. The mix on this new song however, at least on my headphones needs help. I wanted to hear the bass!

[@mattjames8350]

such high quality..your vids keep getting better and better

[@NickPack108]

Absolutely lovin it

[@GulDukat479]

I always thought you'd be great as a live musician. Keep playing shows, bro!

[@eduardramos7438]

Charles is getting more and more mature in the musical composition. I find that especially in the drums, which are better and better and correlates with the bass so good. Another nice point is the pauses between phrases in the main melody. That pauses give more funkiness, groove and feeling into the song, and your face says it all!!! Congrats Charles, you have a 17 yr old amateur bassist loving ALL your content!! Hugs from Spain💪🏼

[@joshfranklin474]

MY MAN THANK YOU FOR BEING SO RECEPTIVE!🤘 you really are a true inspiration and more importantly a true artist. Thank you for DEM DANK SLAPS!👏🤯

Awesome composition and great phrasing, Charles. At this point, I really think you're beginning to exceed the old masters. Onwards!

[@Scampi95]

Yeah yeah man like Charles playing that funky bass

[@MrPantsy]

This bass highlight is, similar to how YOU put it, is VERY catchy. But, that's not where I was going. This bass line is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! I cannot understate how fantastic it is. PLEASE do more shredding for us plebs.......please? 😁

[@nathanwahl9224]

Brilliant! Literally!!

[@NOsauce86]

Love the 8bit gameboy throwback. I found you from the first Davie504 fiver, but you are the cleanest sounding bassist I’ve ever heard. It’s nice to see the insane talent, but actually hear it so clean that every note hits beautifully.

[@markbass354]

WOW SOUNDS GREAT

[@dreamtheariano1984]

I loved the solo, wow, so cool! Cheers from Italy 🤘

[@emergentform1188]

How is this guy not the busiest session bassist in the world playing on numerous albums where high level musicianship is the focus? He's the Thomas Lang of bass and deserves so much better than youtube. I guess it just goes to show that being a wildly successful pro musician has little to do with raw talent.

[@jimcummings4712]

Sounds great Charles!!😊😊😊

[@olivierlemarois9620]

Okay, it's probably my favorite original that you made at this point

[@pzignani]

Beautiful

[@MatthewMocnik-k3u]

You’re my favorite online bassist and El Estepario Siberiano is my favorite online drummer. Would LOVE to see the two of you in a collab!!!

[@OverTheAlnorell]

Such a great idea ! The bass Line from Voyager is DOPE😮

[@leodutriaux3748]

This is fire! It reminds me of the good old French touch, like Palladium by Alan Braxe and Fred Falk !

[@LucianoStabel]

Dude, you are one of the most creative and talented musicians on KZbin. 🤯

[@jimmartin5464]

Charles, your music is from the Gods! It's supernatural! Its effects upon my psyche are indescribable! You lift my spirits to the Heavens! You take me to another world. Its everything music is meant to be. Takes me away from my cares and concerns for just a while and exhibits rejuvenating power upon my soul. I have been listening to your stuff everyday for probably the last six months. I have given up the thought that there's no way for you to top whatever is my current craze. It just keeps getting better! When my #2 son was in his teens, he studied piano a bit and would constantly be playing with all sorts of chord progressions. Over and over and over, all ad-libbing. Some of his riffs were phenomenal. All quarter notes. Its been 30 years, but your music takes me back to that a bit. God Bless!

[@Alan_Duval]

That 8bit (16bit?) breakdown was really creative :D

[@ampr8slayer]

The tap slides and bends are so clean... and then you hit the bitcrush 👌👍 keep on shining superstar. You inspire us all to keep practicing and playing (even us filthy guitarists)

I always enjoy your warmer tone but I really liked the brighter, Marcus Miller-esque tone on this one. Killer as always Charles.

[@TheSwamper]

One thing I really enjoy is when you take a song that has simple bass and grow it into something complex.

[@Delta-dz1]

I'm a slam death metal guitar player,some times I practice to your bass lines ,this one definitely is awesome,and I look forward to it, and I'm doing this just for fun:-)
