I have BIG news!

[@CharlesBerthoud]

I couldn't be more proud of how this course turned out 😊 Go to bassmasters.co/ and get half off Mastering The Masters for the first week!

[@Smurf_Byte]

Jim was a legend. I was fortunate enough to take private lessons with him while I was at Northeastern University. The next year I transferred to Berklee. I took several more classes with him while there including arranging amongst other playing classes. He is missed. Thanks for sharing.

[@Joe_Murphy-REV_Realty]

Congrats, Charles!! As a 60 year old pro bassist, I know that YOU are one of the cats leading the way to take the bass guitar in a wonderful new direction. I will buy the course to support you. Keep striving! You can push us and the bass forward! Peace...

[@vladananiev655]

Very touching.🎉

[@EpicBassTime_]

Rest in Peace Jim, thank you for helping Charles and helping Charles help us

[@billstinnett1272]

Thank you, Charles for honored the greatest bass teacher, and in my opinion the greatest bassist, to play the instrument . . . MY big brother, Jim Stinnett. Your videos are an inspiration to me and about a zillion others at this point. God bless you, Charles. Keep on rockin’ it, my man! 😃🎸

[@MortenVestergaard1]

Just bought the course today and took a peak.. WOW!! First I was a little disappointed that the videos seemed so short, but after watching one of them I realized how much information is packed into it. It's amazing! The content of a 10 minute video can easily take weeks and months for me to master and perfect. It's really incredible what you have done. I studied bass at the Royal Academy of Music in Denmark many years ago, and I used to play a lot, but haven't really played much the past 10 years. This course will get me back into bass! I can feel it.. Thanks a lot Charles!

[@rngcatastrophe5749]

That's awesome man! My wife just bought this for me as a birthday gift and I'm so excited to bring my bass playing to the next level!!

[@MinteyXF]

Wow what an amazing story! You certainly seem like you had a great teacher

[@CharlesBerthoud]

Yes, he was the best 😊

[@courier11sec]

What's even more impressive is you learned to play both left and right handed. 😄 RIP to Jim and I'm sorry for your loss. I am also grateful to him because I've been blown away since first stumbling upon your absurd level of skill and artistry a few years back.

[@nick_coles_art]

Hey dude. I just want to let you know that ive been a single guitarist for over 20 years now on and off to relief. And love outer spa that sold it. But you make me want to get a bass and master your techniques. You are amazing!!!

[@mykuntstynx9463]

As a gen x guitar player of 35 years, I've never been more interested in watching a bass player than you. I grew up with Vai and Satch and YJM and have spent countless hours watching footage of every shredder on the interwebs but NOBODY gets my attention quite like you do Charles. You've made me a fan of music I never liked before. You've set the bar so high, it's going to be a while before you get dethroned, if ever. Simply the greatest instrumental bassist on the planet...

Rest in Peace Jim, the legacy he left it's amazing and inspiring. Because as it inspired Charles, it also inspired millions of viewers 🎉

[@danjacobs4557]

I don't play bass, but I love listening/watching accomplished artists do it and truly hope this brings you all the success you deserve, Charles!

[@IoSapsai]

As someone who feels lost in their journey, I just signed up for music lessons myself. You’re one of the best musicians I know of and I’m sure the quality of the course will be out of this world!

[@AnnaGlaid]

Aww, congratulations! 🎉 Thank you for such a story!

[@smunguia83]

It takes a special person to be both a great musician and a great teacher. They are completely different skill sets and usually a person excels at one or the other. You’ve defied the odds and are doing a wonderful job at breaking down your knowledge and teaching and inspiring other players. Thank you, Charles!

[@zimgaming1397]

Rip Jim❤

[@daviddesmond2143]

Congratulations on your bass course. Years ago I saw Charles appear in a bass guitar solo competition in New Hampshire, USA called Bass Solo Fun. There were about 40 bassists of all styles who prepared their own solos. Charles played he LeFay bass and was clearly the winner of the competition. He was a Berklee student back then. Great work, Charles!

[@finelerv]

Absolutely wonderful. Congratulations, Charles, on launching the course. You are truly a treasure.

[@EpicBassTime_]

definitely buying this I can't wait to learn from this, seriously. What a great thing.

[@CharlesBerthoud]

You're gonna love it!

[@Joelster-og4pf]

I have loads of respect for Jim helping you get to where you are today Charles.

[@guitartec]

Congrats! The world definitely needs more bassists that can get people up to dance!

[@hoonszesiang3029]

i just started learning to play the bass 1 year ago. Am signing up for this and see how it goes. I prefer one off purchase instead of monthly payments. thank you!

[@stevenmonte7397]

I'm just a beginner, but Jim is on point. I truly believe that everything is ABC's. It can be learned and broken down. If we take small pieces and never quit, we can approach amazing levels in anything over time.

[@starr_ship]

That CB was a studying physics prior to music makes so very much sense; the complexity of his arrangements suggest he knows where the lines physics draw are, and how to toe them.

[@guascamsb8138]

Purchased. Let's goooo!

[@darthvalkyr]

Sad to hear of your mentor's passing, but it's great to see that you are able to pass on his knowledge and techniques for others to learn from. I'm sure he'd be extremely proud and pleased that his legacy will continue.

[@MetzelRock]

Listening to your channel for almost 3 years now, often together with my little boy. You have to share the screen time with Davie, though, so sometimes it's "Charles Bass", sometimes "Davie Bass"! Bought the lessons to support you and hope to find the time to go back to Bass more often! Keep going!!

[@bigal1863]

Well done Charles, thank you for sharing your talent and gifts and now your knowledge. Had I a guide like you back in the day I'd still be playing today instead of watching others play.

[@stuartholme4457]

What a beautiful tribute to Jim Stinnett! I am sure he's be proud of your accomplishments. How many great bass careers did he shepherd into existence? All in all, very cool!

[@Cornerboy73]

Congratulations on launching your new course; I wish you and your students success 👍

[@philstubblefield]

What fantastic timing, Charles! I'll be retiring in a few months, and taking my bass playing to the next level will be a new focus. Thanks for sharing your playing *and teaching* talents with us! 😁

[@landerhendrickx3522]

Must have been so much work to build this course with all the materials! Thanks for the act of service. Build something your younger self needed is a very powerful thing to strive for and you did it seemingly.🎉

[@Okotios]

This announcement came out on my birthday, and I just got a new 5-string with hopes to improve my playing. Couldn’t have been timed better. I’m looking forward to going through the course!

[@Johnny-Bass]

Thank you, @CharlesBerthoud! I just bought the course, so now I know what I'm going to do the next few years, I guess. Hehe🙂 Looking forward to learning from you.

[@och70]

You definitely had an amazing and inspiring teacher and now you're going to be an amazing and inspiring teacher.

[@BionMTG]

okay, you got me. I've wanted to learn bass for quite a while. I bit the bullet and bought a Ibanez SR500e. I think it looks great, and it was $200 off because it was missing a knob, so I ordered replacement knobs for $12... I have no idea where to start but wanted to try out rocksmith, so I ordered the cable for that as well. My plan is to play like an hour a day for a month and see where I'm at. if I'm enjoying it, great, and if not, I can return the bass (45 day return policy). I also plan on signing up for your classes but wasn't sure if they are intended for people who actually know how to play, or if you offer something extremely entry level. Thank you for being the inspiration for this endeavor.

[@fluffybuht]

I completely love this. I lost my bass years ago (let a friend borrow it while I was in college and it never made it's way back to me), but I'm going to buy this course anyway before I get some funds for a used bass!

[@HyperCast2012]

Berklee is amazing! I was there 92’ - 93’ with the great instructors, they take your playing to a new level. Yeah, those practice room were tiny! Try fitting a drum kit in one 😅

I used to think that The Bass Guitar was relatively unexplored compared to 6 string guitar. After seeing you play I'm not So sure now. U answered my question at start of vid. I was going to ask were you. Are you a prodigy who did 20 k hrs. ? So it's all Bass, Sweat and Tears ! Still I rate you above Jaco, Victor and Marcus etc. GREAT STUFF THANKS.

Correction Ellen Plays Bass will probably be better eventually if she keeps it up and I saw a guy playing metal Bass from Braźil on Davie 504 but he was gimmicky and only 1 style. Some days I can write 3 good songs a day on Bass. But not all the time❤

[@jormalonnberg1578]

I dont play any instrument, but I am good to listen it all. Trying to separate every instrument, and listen only that, its hard, but so rewarding. So when You are showing Your skills with double bass? Just acoustic. Can you slap and tap that also? I bet You can, but still want to see and listen it.

[@Markothunder]

When did you started playing bass, Charles?
