This guy keeps revealing my secrets and it's starting to get annoying 😤

[@UncommonDenominatorj528]

With this particular melody structure, this exercise is akin to what I have been practicing for almost 2 years; have made 3 beautiful songs with these simple techniques. In this case, it was a man named Charles Berthoud who gave away your secre*****, oh wait I meant his own secrets.😊 I had to sell my bass because of health and economic reasons but if I ever recover the physical strength in my body/dexterity in my elbow and wrist as well as find a place to live again, I will continue to do what makes me happy. Music. I mentioned it once before in a thread on one of these channels, being abandoned by fellow musicians and having my musical talent unappreciated has pushed me to the edge of quitting music altogether. There is only 2 reasons why I never quit, my late father who was my best support in music and a bass player who has your same last name, looks just like you, plays just like you and cone to think of it, IS YOU. It all started when I watched your cover of MAD WORLD and tried to replicate what you did (something I have yet to figure out how the heck you did that). I tip my hat to you Charles, want you to know that you made a difference. Thanks man.

Sue him !

[@dreadful_name2924]

Pretty rich from a guy ripping off Dave503…

[@LogansMediaHub]

Maybe we need a Bass Battle... Tutorial

[@normg2242]

Why don't you do the same to him? Lol

[@cenobiteguitar]

The best video I have watched in years, it made my day!

[@1234drums]

Thank you, Sir ❤❤❤❤

[@danpost4755]

Awesome! Thanks, Charles!

[@blanketwarrior4761]

Thank for you this chancel this is a gold mine for me

[@WARREN-qw5qd]

AWESOME 😊

[@МатвійРагулін]

I LOVE THIS MAN!

[@TheDiamondBladeHD]

The 3rd exercise sounds kinda like the Ibanez Fretless Demo Video from Yuki Atori, he uses the exact same first phrase for that

[@andreinicolae4787]

I think I should learn this technique …

[@stevieboi61]

i only play air bass? ahem.. but now i wanna fiddle with the real thing. "nice" bro. thx 4sharing.

[@nelly164]

What pedals are you using?

[@brunoburke]

Is it correct, that this will sound completely dissonant due to both sides of the string sounding at the same time and its only solvable by playing with loud amp / headphone or using a fret wrap? Thanks for your great lessons!

[@BassCampOfficial]

You don't have to have your amp very loud. The pickups don't receive any of the signal from the other side of the string, so even at low volume your amp will drown out that sound!

[@brunoburke]

@@BassCampOfficial Thanks, practicing with an amp at low volume helped a lot.

[@ivan_yashin_official]

Как это будет звучать и выглядеть на акустической бас-гитаре? =)

[@mrsaltyburns9445]

Only good if u can get a good tone first tho

[@kian_moghaddam123]

Safe to say I'm now the center of attention in the school auditorium 😁😁

[@Johnny-Bass]

Your playing is, as always, fantastic. Thanks for this lesson. :-)

[@jaimeflor4181]

Even though I’m a guitarist, I’ve always enjoyed melodic tapping on bass more. It brings me back to my roots as a musician, because piano 🎹 was the first musical instrument I learned to play on.

[@christianhertwig1593]

Please please please please, a video about the set of equipment you use ❤️❤️❤️

[@dariusbass]

best video for tapping in the whole youtube. I had to learn the second one in C Major because i have only 20 frets but more challenges means more fun. And your chord progressions give me goosebumps. Looking forward to your next videos!!!

[@XRandomuser1792X]

I always viewed tapping as something that was just beyond me. A month and a half ago roughly i decided to see if you had any tapping lesson videos and found your beginner exercise vid. Now Im working on the ones in this video and having a blast. Thank you

[@serendipity4740]

I literally tried tapping for the first time 2 days ago. I am an absolute beginner. This isnt easy for me. But if i take it very very slow i can see that if i practice it, i can learn this skill very quickly. Thank you ! 🙃👍

[@noobynoobytv5853]

This is the most fun bass lesson I found on YT so far.

[@FineNight]

it's a pleasure to learn from you, thanks.

[@BassCampOfficial]

Happy to help!

[@normg2242]

You always come up with such beautiful harmonies...!

[@HCivicFg2]

The more of these lessons I watch the more confused and lost I am. Nothing sounds even close, and I've no idea what I'm doing wrong.

[@DaUnforgiven1]

Don’t give up. Lots of factors. He has his own developed unique play style. He has his signature bass with whatever strings he has on it. He has customized the setup of his bass. He has the equipment setup and equalizer settings and the output playback. And he’s got like 20+ years of practice under his belt. Give yourself time

[@franckdebank]

This requires a dedicated bass with the lowest possible strings height. Then some audio treatment like compressor reverb EQ...and so on. Hope this can help you beginning the journey

[@MusicallyMike126]

Hey Charles long time fan. Really enjoying the lessons they have been super helpful. Sometimes I do struggle to keep up with the play along segments. Im not sure if the patreon has slower tracks or play alongs. Otherwise Im learning alot and really appreciate what your doing helping us get better at bass.

[@BassCampOfficial]

That's great to hear! Yes, one of the features of my Patreon is full-length practice videos starting slow and gradually building up to full speed

[@PikachuPunisher]

The most difficult thing for me is the motions between hands in different rhythm😢

[@IzzosPlace]

Right? Like playing piano. Keep at it you will get it. I need to repair my bass and get back into this!

[@christianhertwig1593]

Okay. Bass is one thing, but what about the other equipment, amp sound, mixed. Volume, .... And the quality of the pickups? It sounds great, but the secret of the sound? 😏😇

[@wyattcrandall6980]

Seriously, I can't do the 9 10 - 8 part any tricks to bend my fingers like that??? 2:20 is the time it happens

[@sciencereviewwithmr.blades2567]

advice on muting the other strings? I end up with a LOT of sympathetic ringing

[@faken15Fk]

Maestro please what game is it in and is there any way you can write the march please?♥️♥️♥️🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@Demosthenes84]

makes my fingers tired to hold the strings down while tapping. Any tricks to keep the fingers relaxed doing this?

[@OmarElaZayZy]

How to balance my left hand with the right hand ? My right hand is faster than the left hand May you please help

[@ronaldjaramillo7460]

That’s awesome thx for the lesson

[@jimjamjul]

[@balddegenerateduelist]
