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

[@LeFingal]

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]

More music is always good news.

[@Bernthguitar]

That was CATCHY 🤩

[@SoltiMusic]

This signature bass-tone is unbeatable: has accurate precision and warmth at the same time. Love it 😍

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.

Every now and again we are blessed to encounter a generational talent. Half a century into this iteration and yeah. I'm a lucky lad to have encountered you Mr. B. Ta muchly.

[@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.

[@dodzb7362]

Daft Punk - Voyager? Woww

[@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

[@karnalberts2796]

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

[@andrewwatson8615]

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

[@Cornerboy73]

Wishing you continued success Charles.

[@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!!!

[@Dancarnate]

Oh man, can't wait for the new videos and having the music on Spotify is awesome, helps me get through the work day. Awesome stuff man, real excited!

[@st0rmrider]

Has a heavy Daft Punk vibe to it

[@DJOlivia82]

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

[@st0rmrider]

@@DJOlivia82 Thanks!

[@Hades-Flare]

Charles, my man. That, was totally amazing. The retro anime/video game styling just made me think about those 70s-80s animes. Something surreal, chill, laid back, adventurous... Job well done, my friend!!

[@jamesarroway5989]

So excited to try and catch you live sometime Charles, and super stoked for you!! Will be watching for US east coast dates ❤

[@JazzbLu]

Love where you want to go with your channel! Thank you for your awesomeness!

[@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!

[@andrewsteinhaus8267]

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

[@bobpond6381]

Every video you put out I get ideas for my own playing. Thanks as always for the content!

[@sleepwalker2112]

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

[@DoctorX17]

Glad to hear things are going well, so excited for what the future holds! Also, that was the best Incogni ad I've ever seen, lmao

Awesome Charles great articulated phases going on there brother ❤ much love mate .. go well 😎

Wow this is a really great, funky and smooth groove, all at the same time. Brilliant phrasing and expression is so on point!! One of my favourites of yours!! THANKS!!

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

[@oliverfriedrich4345]

Man, you got flow.. fresh and unique funky basslines, combined with your virtous tapping. See you next year in Berlin!

[@miikaDV20]

Thank you 😊

[@ijenkinson]

Love the new tune. Keep up the brilliant work

[@Jwinius]

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

[@Yumari-Mai]

All the power to you for more originals and IRL collabs (and live tour!! Please tell me you're considering coming to Poland :D)! But in all seriousness, also remember to not push yourself too hard; you're so skilled that we can wait as much as we need for your songs. Best of luck!

[@ShawnKendall]

Your total evolution has been a joy to live vicariously through. All the best to you and your new directions.

[@LucianoStabel]

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

[@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.

[@dongxingyaoyang8550]

Love the low notes slap part so much

[@kentstannard7495]

Gives me chills; Love it!! The Voyager use was really clever.

[@JalfaX]

Dude your music that you make is always going to be my favorite bass covers.

[@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💪🏼

[@mobiusvoid347]

Keep it up man. You're doing great!

[@4chld_]

Thank you for uploading good videos every time charles😊 Your sincere passion makes my heart beat, too

I'm lovin this. Reserved, but with some awesome flourishes! Less is more. Well done sir! Also Gameboy!

[@oranguman2965]

I've been playing bass and lead for over 40 years but never properly mastered slap bass. Your videos have inspired me to finally get to grips with slap and learn how to do it properly before arthritis sets in! Thank you Charles

[@ryeen94]

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

[@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.

Beautiful song! Full bass masterclass in one video.

[@moosewild4239]
