[@Harooniey]

50% of me wants to practice bass after seeing these videos, and the other 50% doesn't even want to look at my bass ever again

[@kraytwinsmanor]

I hear ya, brother! Lol

[@towenaar7422]

you gotta change that ratio my dude

[@jeansarrazin996]

Tentation !!! L’important ce ne sont pas ses capacités, mais le plaisir que l’on prend à jouer SOI-MÊME !!!

[@Starscreamf15]

There's a lot more to playing bass than a million notes in 2 measures. Enjoy your style and rock on!

[@Jed-yp8yg]

You must admit that they are shit hot. I've been playing bass in band most of my life and I can't do anywhere near that speed. All I can say is that they must have practiced a lot more than me. Respect!

[@guesswork8332]

1:37 That pick toss and catch was smooth AF.

[@Groteskfull]

I wonder how many takes they did for that.

[@guesswork8332]

@@Groteskfull Now I want to see outtakes.

[@wesley5nipes]

My favorite part is just watching on their faces how stoked it makes them feel to be jamming such highly technical yet super funky licks together. Two men on the same level. Not many to choose from.

[@fartpooboxohyeah8611]

Over-the-top technically proficient musicians, no doubt,,but a little too perfect for my tastes. No tension, no build-up, just all-out balls to the walls. Give me this kind of playing all day long.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipjRpZ59mJqceNE&ab_channel=KaylaDad75

[@AlexRodriguesdigimagno]

Two Geniuses in action!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@MuteBassist]

This is the Funkiest thing I have heard in a while, Incredible job both of you!

Giacomo playing through a vintage Fender amp is just so cool.

[@Hello_there_obi]

vintage? And of course you'd play through an amp? Their tone is superior to plugins and this is a proper video...

[@Musicman995]

[@Jwk1706]

the amp is just a prop

[@horim80]

the most technical bass player I have ever seen... amazing.. how come so clean and crazy fast on both slapping and fingering

[@gdubyadubya8961]

Totally agree but, I’m about to get flamed, no feel. Playing 5 billion notes a nano second is undoubtedly technical talent at the very highest level but I’d still much prefer a couple of slow notes from Sly Dunbar or many more notes but with feel from Victor Wooten. Each to their own.

[@saltedcod3533]

@@gdubyadubya8961if you haven’t seen some of Charles’ work on his channel, please do. He does play with a ton of feel. This particular collaboration was more about jamming and less about him building fantastic layers of bass.

[@timmokoo5679]

"how come so clean and crazy fast on both slapping and fingering" ...THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!

[@ronniarbitiaas3095]

​@@gdubyadubya8961 In case you are not too familiar with Charles, his "slow" play is just even more amazing than the shredding to me. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZa7YXqabd-sgrs

[@ogelsmogel]

​@@gdubyadubya8961Charles is pretty darn good playing with feel too.

[@GazAce]

Imagine if 70s funk bands could future see that, they'd be like.. "what is this sorcery?"

I think this is about as good as it gets. Awesome job guys . . .

The last 20 seconds sounds like a new Outrun theme tune. Love it!

That timing. Oh my god. THAT TIMING. 🤟🦄✨♥️

[@johncourtright1632]

I've been a fan of both Charles and Giacomo for a while now and to see them together is a dream come true!! Two master musicians at the top of their game!! More collabs like this please!! 🎵🎶

[@user-lm6wu9vh2j]

Both the best... Giacomo and Charles 👍

[@dk_dkdk]

Second day high! Yesterday on Charles channel new clip with Bernth, today is this! Thank you guys! Continue! Compose, record albums, lots of albums!

[@huntrichardson]

Two of the finest and most creative guitarists of the 21st century. Glad to have seen Giacomo and his band in Washington DC. Keep up the good work boys, you killin it

[@JCIII-kr9td]

Giacomo, you were amazing live! Come back to Dallas!

[@d05wtt]

2 of my current favorites jamming together. What a treat.

[@joycemoore8135]

GT & CB, simply mesmerizing! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@barnyfife335]

Holy crap!!! That was awesome.

[@drew7257]

Two players on the same level.

[@sethklemba]

They both deserve respect. The hand strength and speed to cover fret distance on a bass, and then the clean intricacies and speed of a six string. I only wish I could play both this way at the same time myself. Truly shows what it means to walk hand in hand.

[@rickj6048]

I tuned in to see Giacomo but never paid much attention to Bass Guitar....until today! Stellar performance!

[@manuaiipondraken8376]

You guys are the best of the best. Amazing skills.👍

[@bkg4020]

Me, I wanna listen to it again and again, it's an uplifting tune 🔥

[@gregmaland5318]

Giacomo is the most rhythmically precise guitar player I've ever heard. His skills are super human, like a funky alien from another world. And I'm so psyched that he is going to be in San Francisco in July. I saw him in Berkeley last year, and it was incredible!

[@DooWops4U2]

Ok guys you really need to put an album out ASAP maybe call it New Age Funk

[@MrLokNesss]

GT & Charles B!?!??!?!! Just came out of church!!! Prayers answered!!!!

[@VittorioGreggio]

@@ninovladovic2937 Non mi pare priva di anima, ma chiaramente questa non è una performance votata a quello, basta guardare altro di loro due. Detto questo il brano resta funky e gradevole nonostante ci sia una predominanza di tecnicismi, questo mi pare già un risultato pensato e voluto
