He plays so well, the song is so touching... that's kind of embarrassing to listen this for free. Dude... I need to pay you back what you just did for me.

Never knew a bass could sound like this

[@frnono]

Its because it have another kind of strings

[@tunzv7282]

This dude is a one man army. I've been learning a lot of new stuff about the bass but strangely i've never seen or heard a bass played like this guy does

[@iKaWouter]

@@tunzv7282 Search for Zander Zon ;)

[@janmalek9794]

@@tunzv7282 I know several guitarists who play in that style though. Check out Alexander Misko or Antoine Dufour

[@tunzv7282]

Ok. I checked that Zander guy and I didn't like his music at all. I'll check those too

[@stucky101]

A bass can do so much more than what most bands use it for. It's such an underappreciated instrument. Thank you !

[@davilathegreat]

Because we'd be "stepping on the guitarist's toes" if we played in their register. *eye roll*

[@skylersvlogs8533]

Well if yoy really think about it, even in most bands, bass is still super important and appreciated, listen to most of yoyr favorite rock songs without bass in them. They sound empty

[@fenderb125]

@@skylersvlogs8533 listen to this without bass and you’ll hear nothing

Seems all the Davie fans APPROVE ! And so the slappers slapped like

I'm tapping it

[@alvokru]

Man, you are proper musician, who loves what he's doing, I can see that. This is so emotional and it's like a story telling through the bass .. Keep it coming, you have one more new subscriber for sure.

[@alexsean5]

I would love to hear a re-recording of this, it's amazing, but with your constantly improving talents (playing, recording, editing) I'm sure this would sound amazing

[@NUSchoolProjects]

Gotta say I came here from a slap but damn dude, I am glad you are getting the well deserved recognition now. I love seeing the subscriber count climb too. awesome

[@Louckeable]

I've been on autoplay for like 2 hours now. this is beautiful music

[@EdgarKalk]

I will leave a comment because you hella deserve it. Good job man,

[@FranFuzz]

I've always loved the bass, then you redefined how to play it, now I love it infinitely more. Thank you!

[@scottdahl1938]

This never gets old.

[@johnmoser2689]

I didn't realize you uploaded all these Charles... so fantastic... these should make their way to the main feed Holy 🐄 so so good 👍 😎👍

[@AmandaStefanin]

This is so great ❤️ truly beautiful!!! Edit: I just went to iTunes and bought this whole album. Thanks for providing some chill heartfelt music! ❤️

[@RobAlpacaflip]

...if someone told me this was done on a bass i'd laugh at them. WOW.

[@dexterj5615]

Hope to see more stuff like this, I understand its not your bread and butter as far as the cash flow goes but I can tell that this kind of music that you feel inspired to play. You're a world class classical bassist, one of the true masters of the instrument.

[@schwedr]

Very nice. I personally like the tones of the piccolo bass strings

[@douglasmoore2200]

Absolutely beautiful. I was pissed off then I played this song and I'm super chill ✌

[@RobAlpacaflip]

I keep coming back to this video to show people how talented Charles is. I love this solo so much

[@j.jeffreymiller5594]

Absolutely stunning! This is not slap. It's like a totally different genre, ...a whole new.... (to most of us anyway,) style of bass playing that I'm sure most of us are sitting back - going -" Wow" !!!

Just another Slapper here, slapping like on a video from 3 years ago!

[@britfrancis1450]

Thank you for sharing your gift. I feel the bass is finally finding it's rightful place in the forefront of it's spectatorship. It's talent and endless attempts too be really heard has finally arrived. Your sound is so clean and technique is obvious. Thank you again for sharing. It has become contagious!!!!

[@RafaelMSSilva]

I have no words, what an awesome song!

[@russellszabadosaka5-pindin849]

Beautiful song Charles. I really like the melody and its arrangement is well constructed. Thx for sharing.

[@jnnerantzau6061]

Apart from the joy of his play please notice the perfect white background. Neat

[@Broccoleet]

If i had heard this song without the video i would swear it was on a guitar and it's simply because i have never heard someone play the bass like this . Also your composing is beautifull and melodic .. You entirely deserve the recognition you are getting right now and i hope you go as far as you wish it .

[@jloiterer]

You rule man. Songs of hope.
