[@ruairibyrne8658]

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how Charles and his videos never get boring

The solo was so funky that other instruments just materialized out of nowhere and started jamming along.

[@vitorqueiroz8791]

Underrated comment 😂

[@glensingleton1287]

When you slap so hard the universe starts jamming along.

[@cyrillemiller8798]

Charles will never admit it , but he has to be one of the best bassists on earth right now. The technique is insane but what gets me is the clarity of it all.

[@d_bud]

Modest and humble, on top of that!

[@rubbersoul4960]

Definitely best on youtube

[@garnetk3751]

I second that if no one else has yet!

[@conner1466]

I don't want to agree cos there is always is always someone better, but I just say I haven't seen many close, if you get past his memes Davie is a extremly versatile and skilled player, but I must agree charles does have so much clarity in his notes

[@eXclurel]

@@conner1466 Davie lost his passion because of the pressure of nearly 10M subs and it shows. Charles plays better.

[@MetalRufo]

My favorite part: 1:51 to 2:10 ... sooo cool, funky and technical... here's another well deserved like

[@BassByTheBay]

Agreed. It's hard to be both.

[@noiJadisCailleach]

I never graduated from Slap Bass Uni, but I sure did graduate with flying colors in Slap Like University!

[@divine203]

i liked this so fast...such a beautiful comment

[@Pawl4k]

i would hit the like but i will live it being 69, just for more funk

[@elizabethechase]

Did you train under other bass great Davie504?

[@wrrmjf9809]

The 20 seconds from 1:50 to 2:10 made me realize that you are the best bass player I have ever heard. I someday wish to learn all the techniques for my accordion in the same fashion that you've learned your electric bass. Thanks for being a huge inspiration and for your overall passion man.

[@thesunday2023]

This KZbinr is beyond word underrated.

[@cp-the-nerd]

Man, that last stretch after he pretends to struggle filling the funk gauge is just so badass.

[@mueluy]

Thought Charles will do it over again after that one note with smiley on 2:07 😂

[@PatNetherlander]

Charles clearly shows that you CAN be technical as hell without losing the groove and stay funky all time long! What a class act!

[@jishnuswamy5416]

Probably the most epic uni graduation ever🤟🏽

[@RaptorTeak]

In every solo you do, there's always a small line that does it for me, takes it to the next level. In this case it was that amazing lick at 2:03, sick.

[@marcinpuchalski5602]

That's funky as hell Edit: It gets even better at the end!

[@jonnya3425]

Damn Charles. My 1 year old and I were boogieing hard. If you could see the smile you plastered on his face you'd be proud.

[@robertwellsrawbass1249]

That funk bar is broken..it shoulda been maxed from the beginning with how funky the whole thing sounded!! Another great piece Charles great job 👏

[@tonybp]

It should be illegal to be this good.

[@zacktheweeb]

Charles you're absolutely INSANE, that song is a MASTERPIECE. It must be one of the best slap solos ever created. Thank you man you made my day !!!

[@johnsavvidis2313]

Man he really keeps outdoing himself with each composition, we are reaching funk levels that shouldn't even be possible. damn

[@mcjhon097]

when you realize he is not only graduate, a Masteral, Doctorate and a Dean officer at the Slap Bass University Salute to you sir!

[@lc6142]

Charles, you're awesome dude. Love watching you killing that bass bro.

[@Weird-City]

Not sure which is crazier the fact I looked for the first student in the reflection of his glasses, or the fact I saw him.

[@Thesongstaysthesame]

I watched this video last night for the first time. I spent the day hanging off of a helicopter working on power lines and I COULD NOT GET the lick that starts at 2:12 out of my head ALL DAY! 🤣🤣 Wonderful playing, Charles!!

[@sesclaytpoop8525]

1:51 please write a song with this riff or just put this solo on some platform. It' s too good.

[@Goonbooo]

You and Davie made me take up the bass, I've played lots of instruments in the past but this one is the first I love. I can only hope to be as amazing as you are some day. I see your hands and my brain doesn't even comprehend how you make those sounds come out.

[@encompassthyeclipse7278]

I'm so glad you exist man, I've been a 6 string guitarist all my life (over 20 years, I'm only 27) and your channel is the first thing that's ever made me want to learn bass, im even thumping Tosin style on my 8 string to make up for not having a one, anything that resembles the fat tone of a bass. One of these days something is going to give and I'm going to end up totally transitioning.

[@RetroPlus]

God that bass tone and playing is just perfect

[@DoktorDicht]

Fantastic. That theme at 0:55 is pure magic, I could listen to this for 3 hours. Good thing I have no plans tonight.

[@Mountainousview1234]

yes

[@Christ_is_Lord_]

My favorite part as well. Beyond genius

[@Lucas.Blevins]

I love these bass solos. Though the gimmicks are always interesting, and this was a fun one, man the playing...just off the charts man.

[@Temporal72]

I always tap the like button before a Charles video starts

[@garnetk3751]

every time I listen to you play I am more impressed than the last time. I love it when you let the riff breathe with the finger tapping. right on the money!

[@Charely1925]

I love how the teacher was so supportive unlike the other instructors Charles had to deal. Way to go for the slapology professor!

[@Dildaw69]

that was really funky

[@probablyenzoh]

Slap bass university genuinely sounds like one of the best places to be in the world.

[@renemikami]

after a punch of funky slaps, then it comes a lot of feeling tappings (0:56) , then it goes back to funky slaps, man that was brilliant!

[@chainonsmanquants1630]

That is literally the funkiest solo I've ever heard

[@margaretburgess1399]

OK! So I just watched The Funkiest Bass Solo Ever. I am an old woman, 67yo with sciatica. I gotta get up and DANCE!! My parents were both musicians, classical. Dad played with the Chicago Lyric Opera - tuba. And he did with a tuba what you do with your bass - trumpet notes, trills, you name it. I wish he were alive to see your work! My mom (piano) would have loved you, too. I am CRAZY for your wicked talent and composing skills. Thank you for sharing it. ❤

[@henkeH2]

You are an absolute machine!🤯

[@igorwilis901]

Such a great song, as always! There is a part in 1:10 that remembers me of megalovania, it's so good to listen to that i'm also watching the video while studing.

[@MuteBassist]

Amazing! Love your Bass and Editing skills!

[@pfridell8424]

that is certainly some talent you have there!!!😃 i am totally blown away!

[@mattdeluccia153]

Charles is so good that even his rare flubs are super funky

[@skymooseft]

My favorite jam of yours. I’ve returned to listen to it many times.

[@nepmobile3583]

Keep up the awesome content! You really inspire me allot as a bass player, and make me want to keep going at it so maybe one day I can reach your level! 🤟

[@tomasz9429]

I bet somebody already made that comment, and multiple times at that, but damn... This guy slaps that bass like a redheaded stepchild.

[@DTSVK]

I have a feeling that this bass guitar will be a very valuable piece of art.

[@Geohara]

Brilliant! Just got back after my 11th day of work, watched this and started grinning. Thankyou.

[@wstrijdhorst]

This is without doubt the best bassist ever

[@AdamMiharaFishing]

That bit at 1:51 was just so good I actually shouted "oh yeah" out loud, couldn't help myself.

The stuff you learned in Slapology is perhaps some of the best groove playing I've ever heard in my life. Truly Victor Wooten level. The student is becoming the master.

Lets not forget to appreciate those bends and vibratos👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾😭😭😭😭😭

[@JonYen69]

Everyone talking about the lick at 1:50 whereas I love how he changed the main slap groove at 1:30 onwards. That’s funky as fuck whilst keeping it simple and in the pocket 🔥🔥🔥

Charles, I'm not always a fan of your videos (and it's just a to each their own type situation) but ain't no one on the internet that can criticise your ability to slap the absolutely shit out that wood.

[@mikemorrisonmusic]

I love the mixture of incredible talent and humour!

[@LuizEnger]

Awesome playing! I understand the need for a meter in such cerimonies, but in real life you can't never get too funky! Plus, Charles can't avoid adding some beautiful melodic taps

[@venzedjan3168]

Thanks Charles for adapting to most popular genre on bass, you’ll have soon 1M subs in the near future.

If I closed my eyes and listened to this without seeing who was playing I'd bet it was Victor Wooten playing. You definitely studied the guy. Holy smokes you're good man.
