My 10 Favourite Tunings (BASS Solo)

[@CharlesBerthoud]

Which was your favourite tuning? 👇🏻

[@chriseegee-man6918]

Decaf was the best

[@Ariffzri]

EEEE

[@yuvcharmer]

It’s like choosing from multiple desserts 🧁 🍨 🍮. For someone with a sweet tooth like me, I cannot pick a favourite. Sorry. They were all so amazing.

[@vitorqueiroz8791]

violin tuning made some awesome melodies man! i kinda want a fretless bass now lol

Welcome to the channel where a man makes love to his bass and we watch

[@clembst3158]

And everyone likes it

[@flucazade]

@@clembst3158 he certainly fingers, taps and slaps and that's how the bass likes it!

Kinky af, they like to get SLAPPED really good and being fingered by all of his right hand fingers :3

And they kept the nudity in and i love it

The violin and Eb-D tuning was some of the prettiest music I've ever heard on bass, awesome video!!

[@AnisioLemos]

What most astonishes me is think of all the time spent stringing, restringing and fine tuning 10 times to make one video, awesome. And I will take that video as a gift since today is my birthday.

Happy birthday!

@@forgetful9845 Thank you!

[@CharlesBerthoud]

It took so long 😂

[@John117XC]

@@CharlesBerthoud Did you try them out for practising, first? If you did: Did you have to tune most of them twice then?

[@PiePlayzBASS]

very awfully late happy birthday!! 😅

[@soldierboydidnothingwrong]

The only channel where I press like before I even watch the video because I know it'll be good. And god damn you deliver it again. 3 way collab with Ichika Nito and Tim Henson from Polyphia will be sick.

[@MemeGuy-qr2oc]

How about davie?

[@viceng.6311]

For Polyphia 7w7

[@LingLingsDistantRelative]

I love how you actually fit some different tunings at the same time to accompany each other. That was very cool!

[@fluteoboe101]

CAGED, CAFE, & DECAF 😍😍 2:43 - 3:30 I can listen to them over and over. This is tight

[@krks9677]

3:30 can't miss with that tuning 😂😂😂

[@jesspinkman6934]

Best for beginners 😂😂

[@depressedfrogpenis]

Watch me

[@ScareFire]

E E EEEE

[@Arcane_Fenriel]

2:30 this was really good, not only on a technical level, but also as composition itself. it would be nice to have a full song made from that.

[@dariusz_darson_8968]

Well, it was said probably a million times, but not only your technical abilities are off the charts, but maaan, your musicianship and composing too! Each and every time I'm blown away.

[@iahinamirg]

1:32 you went full Michael Manring 😂

[@felipemendes7408]

One of the greatest features of your channel is that the bass and music are the center. No clickbait, no silly videos... just talent! Congrats!

[@felipegutierrez750]

3:30 *Lord Farquaad* intensifies.

[@phildbagrip]

Every bassist has their own voice, and I like many. Some are hyper technical, some are pure groove, some are super emotive. After seeing Charles "Beartooth" Berthoud, I firmly believe he's has become the best all around bassist alive. I understand the mental gymnastics you had to do here. Bravo my man!

[@clubbedsam]

yo it would be cool if we did something like an ensemble or a band full of other musicians and we record some vids to a click track in our headphones, then combine it all together

[@GelleSzebasztian]

Yeah yeah I like this idea, I'd play an exotic instrument and probably other peeps too and it would be a really colorful thing. I always miss this because people usually advertise these on platforms I don't even use and I only notice it after a month or two :((

[@clubbedsam]

GoldenTiti99 yeah, and it really sucks when i dont find out about it until when the vid is posted

[@clubbedsam]

GoldenTiti99 but there may be a chance this could happen

[@nikobrul7147]

Do you guys need a guitar player?

[@therealScottyWebb]

This is really impressive... Like, I'm not new the channel, and even knowing he's a multi-instrumentalist & absolute beast of a composer. To write a song that flows with every segment in a different tuning is a different animal. Every now n again I'll realize Charles was even better than I thought he was, and he's on some whole different level I don't realize he's on.

[@RC32Smiths01]

I'm telling ye man, different tunings are definitely open so many possibilities! You're playing Really give me the inspiration to try something a little new! I have an idea, you should play Bach in BACC tuning!

[@gunkyzip]

Even better - BACH motif! B flat, A, C, B natural

[@RC32Smiths01]

@@gunkyzip xD That's Cool actually!

[@TheDiamondBladeHD]

or use the german name for notes, BACH or BbACB in english

[@vuan7405]

The "CAFE" one was the best, I think so :))), it's just completely different from the others. So just do more, Charles

But... how.... you’re insanely good once again. I’ve never even tried alternative tunings on my bass 😅

[@camgood3097]

You *know* I'm subscribed! Beautiful playing as always. I'm approaching my 4-months-learning-bass mark and It's going really well! You're the reason I'm playing and it's been fun every minute. I know that I speak for everyone here when I say thank you for playing such beautiful bass, and thank you for keeping me personally inspired to keep learning.

[@fantawi7999]

[@antonionovi1706]

I love Cafe tuning the early morning. Anyway as always you left me with open mouth, you are fenomenal

[@alexanderringler5747]

Regarding another collab: Search on youtube for "Yanni - World Dance" and based on that here is my idea. Create a riff on Bass in two versions... one to accompany other instruments and one as a solo/melody for the riff. The length of the riff should be as short as the example of World dance. Your subscriber should do the same for their instruments... after that you arrange a version of the song using those building blocks that were send to you. Maybe you shouldn't reveal your melody-version of the riff before the song is complete, so other bassists also add their versions :-D

[@moabt.frican7163]

That violin tuning with the fretless was just magical sounding i really dug it

Do a special Collab or fight against Laytar girl, I'm sure she can do everything the Music needs to create an incredible sound with you. Even her channel is small by the moment that is not an obstacle, you can play all, that woman also can, lead her, I don't like comparisons but I really like more Laytar than Ichika, please don't hate me to say it. We need a super WOMAN Playing insane on the KZbin map and you know who could be...

[@nochedeburlesque2376]

Excited thinking about it, Mexico would be proud of that, sadly she is from a very Maleness country, I think that's the reason she hasn't been able to grow her channel, also in other ways maybe. All the world needs get notice in the Art of Music there no gender in a fair fight!
