If CHARLES BERTHOUD Was The BEST BASS PLAYER In The World | 1 HOUR of PRO BASS Compilation

[@dustyroyer]

Ive been telling anyone who will listen for quite a while that this guy is honestly the best there is right now.

[@CharlieRobe]

Definitely in my top 5 but I do have a few that can edge him out (in certain areas like slap. Wojtek Pilichowski being my top)

[@busybee3817]

Spot on.but no 1 has the flair like Charles

[@LegendaryDdos]

him and davie504 would be the top 2 in my books for YT for sure

[@mikerukavina4551]

Challenge Davie504

[@mikerukavina4551]

Stuuuuuuuuuu Hamm.

[@simonwhitlock9189]

This is what you get when you practise twenty five hours a day eight days a week, Charles you have my total respect.

[@johnhanrahan2486]

🤣😉

[@usmopo]

I think you mean 52 hours a day 19 days a week

[@Luciothecommenter]

How tf is he supposed to practice 25 hours per day? He practices 25 days per hour

[@geraroth9313]

it sounds like they are discussing quantum physics here...

[@hoangtam8518]

this guy is honestly the best there is right now.

[@barryjohansen9936]

Perhaps the best musician I’ve heard; so many styles ,techniques, and every note is clean! I love that he takes his music seriously but doesn’t take himself too seriously! He seems like a genuinely nice guy who hasn’t let his ego go to his head as so many have.

[@rmmco]

One of the best players maybe. Musician is other thing.

[@cheubs]

@@rmmco bass player...

[@rmmco]

@@cheubs since we are talking bass..but,,, ok.

[@JTwatching-the-clock]

I never imagined that another bassist would come close to Victor Wooten, keep playing Charles because we love you man.

[@danjosh]

I first saw Charles during time he participated in Davie's challenge. And from that day forward, Charles is getting better and better up to now., Monster musician. Astonishing man of music..

[@griiseknoen]

A lot of people can play "fast technical stuff" and it's often fun to listen to. _Once..._ Berthoud does all that flashy stuff and MORE, but he does it without *ever* losing the pocket. Every note Charlie plays sits *perfectly-in-the-groove* and it makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE. After a full hour of basstravaganza - you still want to hear MORE !!! 😀

[@edgewizz862]

Two things that stand out for me is how melodic he is and his arrangements are just unbelievable. It’s like at every turn I’m pleasantly surprised with something he does during each piece. The cats got groove.

[@brianthompson5521]

I’d love to see Victor W. and Charles B. join forces and do a tour together. It would be bassically amazing!!!

[@alexdarcydestsimon3767]

I'd be delighted to see Charles and Davie tour together.

[@Ian-BrandonHazel]

It's a hard, hard decision, but I think Charles has went past Vwooten to take the best bass player alive.

[@jaibruce777]

Charles is the embodiment of all the legendary bassists combined.

[@truthisnotanopinion71]

There cannot be a better bassist out there, this is literally out of this world.

[@mcallanmusic]

How is this possible? How can a single individual possess this much talent? How have I never heard of him before? He has got to be the most talented "person" in the world, but I'm in disbelief that he's human. This is the most amazing and mind blowing thing I've ever witnessed.

[@o.Froggy.o]

Well you can't say it's all talent, most of it is skill, you have to give the man some credit because saying it's just talent makes it seem like you're saying he's just naturally this good and didn't have to work for it. I understand this wasn't what you meant by it but still.

[@mcallanmusic]

I couldn't agree more. Thank you for pointing that out to me.

[@javierdepaizpaetow9603]

Well...he sure has got skills and talent...but as for me , he is ALIEN...

[@ApeirophobiaLee]

bro people say davie is the best bassist rn and I would say he's REALLLY REALLY good but charles is on a whole another level for real.

[@tomaskadlec9534]

He is the Hilary Hahn of bassguitar lol :D

[@krisdespain]

Dude is hilariously talented?!?! Can't stop watching!!

[@hugtaperig7880]

there is something on earth that is called "practice". Not sure if u've heard of that b4 but just saying

[@kaiman593]

​@@hugtaperig7880 i mean to get to where he is as a bassist, practice alone wouldn't be enough without some talent.

[@danielwells1320]

Me neither…I had to stop watching as I had to go out. 🤣 Such a great sound!

[@SaturnineXTS]

@@kaiman593 you're definitely right, but the thing is, most people don't improve quickly enough because they don't know how to practice efficiently. Charles finished a professional music school (he wears the grad ring on his right pinky), pretty sure they gave him extremely solid foundations on how to improve in a quick and efficient manner, which is an advantage that self-taught bassists don't have

[@MegaTeostyle]

@@kaiman593he plays piano and guitar too. Absolutely outstanding.😮

[@gamlemann53]

This guy has praticed every single day for 19 years, but not everybody can do THIS things anyway. He's just the best. 😀

[@ztazon]

This is one of the most spot on comments on this thread. He's got the ear, but also has practiced every note and silence to the point of seamless, effortless execution. Talent is a short way of saying character+discipline+genuine love for your art. There's no kudos enough to be fair with the hours he invested in achieving that level, just enjoy, he amazed and try to receive some inspiration 🤘

[@alexdarcydestsimon3767]

One of the best.

[@endconnr]

Every bit as good as Tosin. Put this kid on the cover of every guitar magazine. This is nuts! and his sense of humour comes out in not just the videos but his music. it is like his personality is shining through a bass so authentically it is hard to describe. woah

[@darrylanderson1081]

At this moment, there is no one better than this guy and I listen to all the Bass Greats. From Willie Dixon to Stanley Clark, Victor Wooton, Larry Graham and Marcus Miller. THIS GUY IS AWSOME !!! Great work Charles ❤

[@alexdarcydestsimon3767]

Maybe because you don't know Davie504. These 2 are my top bass players.

[@90ccryder]

You should check out Mahoni Dey😮

[@vaughnmiller4371]

Did you check out the guys you mentioned in their prime?

[@allanpolk2681]

I've been listening to Charles for a number of years, and he just keeps getting better and better. He truly is incredible and a credit to the instrument, what ever instrument he is playing, ESPECIALLY THE B A S S ! ! !

[@megadawg342]

I'm 66 and play 6 string fretless and fretted, and I'm good. Charles is THE GOAT!!! He humorously thumbs his nose at everybody. I'm sure he is the favorite of all the masters that he learned from. Yu da man, Charles.

I was less than 10 minutes into this when I realized that this is the most brilliant, most incredible video I have ever seen/heard EVER... And that's with still more than 50 minutes yet to go. There can only be one NUMBER ONE and this is it. The absolute best of anything I have ever seen/heard from the beginning of time until right now is a distant second to what I'm witnessing right now!

He is the greatest... I think there is nothing he cant do, that is what basically defines a GOAT. a lot of bass players have invented techniques, but he has all of them and is too damn precise

[@meckanicall]

Absolutely mind blowing. That very last harmonic was beyond ecstasy and left me dazed....truly out of this world!

[@meloysmusicstudio]

I may never be as good as Charles, but I get a ton of inspiration from him, davie504 and others. You can always play a simpler version of their stuff.

I guess. I watch Charles and Davie 504. Then, I pick up my bass and seriously wonder if I'm from the same planet as they are.
