THIS IS INSANE! Charles Berthoud - When Davie504 Says Play an Impossible Bass Solo | Reaction

[@GreatHouseAtreides]

Bass player here…I think he is possibly the most technically efficient bass player ever

[@johndeeregreen4592]

35 years of playing the bass, can play every technique he is.... just staring in awe as to how it's possible to string it (pun intended) all together like this. His abilities to switch techniques and make it cohesive is what makes him so unique and gifted. Lots of us can play these techniques... very few can make it sound like this.

[@haroldvankleeckwilson9304]

You're right...his compositional skills are as strong as his technical skills. But none of this was gifted to him. If you look at his history it's been his entire adult life studying, practicing, playing live at night and studying during the day. He's earned his abilities

[@miversen2674]

As a fellow bassist, I have to agree. There seem to be no holes in his game. He's the perfect union of unreal natural talent, top tier education, and work ethic.

[@pjb7490]

Charles is a crazy insane bassist

[@DagNeb_It]

I been playing bass or 33 years and Charlie is an absolutely insane. This is easily one of the hardest bass songs to play out there. Period.

[@arielrichmond1238]

Outrageous!!! Dude flawlessly switches technical perfection

[@nikolozka1]

Base players and Charles Berthoud live on separate planets...

[@BenCoultryAfishall]

Yeah that dude is insane. Putting aside the flash, he's also playing constant 1/16th notes or quicker for what, 3 minutes?

[@thomasjbass]

Charles is from another planet.

[@Fenrizan]

Chales Berthoud is just sick. Unbelievable bass player.

[@samboliah3691]

I've been playing bass for around thirty years, Charles is insanely talented, he's also a graduate of Berkeley. He is currently the torch bearer for bass guitar until someone younger and more talented comes along.

[@durhamgrigg3125]

Charles is THE BASS MAN!!!!!!!❤

[@alanberic1038]

Charles Berthoud is the BEST ever. None other is so divers in all technics . Wonder-boy.Oh yeah , if you ever hear better - post me please 😉

[@dougbrady611]

On top of being an incredible musician, he seems like a really nice guy I love his attitude 🤘❤️🤘

[@BayouMaccabee]

No doubt, Charles Berthoud is LEGIT!

[@JDCherry]

Charles “Bear-too” plays some songs that are more complex and contains more styles. This is his 4 string base with de-tuners that allow him to bend notes down a step or two (not sure how far) and he has an 8-string and 6-sting and many more basses. He’s also an amazing guitarist and keyboard player. Obvisouly has an amazing talent for composition and technique. Glad you caught onto his music.

[@MorandMelissa]

Dude has Got some mad skills

[@Obake352]

I've not played much bass in years, but yeah, this guy is damn good. This level of skill is what many bassists, I'd argue, dream of acquiring. The man is a gift to the world!

[@astonvillaization]

I’m a bass player, couldn’t even imagine the time and practice that goes into this, plus his raw talent

[@SearlesHernandez]

I saw Charles in Concert in Oakland, CA a couple of years ago along with Michael Manring, Kai Eckhardt and Ariane Cap. Insane 🎸🤙

[@DangerousDan666]

I soddenly realized you had a cap of the Expos of Montreal on your head, team cease to exist 20 years ago, didn't think I'd see that today 😆

[@ismaelcruz7194]

after I met charles berthoud, it's even ashamed to say that i was a bass player

[@RaySarv]

This guy is out of this world, probably his on of the top 5 bass players list in the world. And his young imagen 5 years later.

[@donmcglothlin841]

Basses come in a variety of flavors 4,5,6,7,8 and 12 string models Multiple fret options to include fretless also Eye of the bassholder

[@rottingcorpse6002]

Don't be jelly. Just love the skills and composition.

[@buddystewart2020]

Yeah man, I'm a bass player, and that shit is HARD as fuck to play at that level.

[@codyteague1188]

Basses are like guitars, you can get them made with different string setups, 4, 5, 6, string and so on. Look up jared dines and steve terreberry. They are hilarious.

[@jonnycowen6525]

Charles is one of if not the sickest bass player...guy been down the crossroads..haha. you should take a look at "da fold - you do you, Rejection, lose it, falling" nice one man....👊

[@ryanchappell5962]

Charles is the craziest bass player on KZbin that I know of. I like his really funky stuff the best as opposed to the super fast playing.

[@WrkBassShredder]

I’m really good and he’s a savage typically basses have 4.but 5,6,7 as many as you like or pertaining to what you play some tools are good for certain music❤literally not many ppl better than him physically technically he’s way up there bro.

[@cribrebo7375]

Charles is the Matteo Mancuso of Bass..

[@fmdof]

the expos really did have the sickest baseball team logo.

[@afjer]

He's been practicing at least 4 hours a day for nearly twenty years.

[@dixiefletcher1539]

Kid has talent!

[@nev375]

Um... yeah, this is a little bit tricky.

[@11B10Inf]

Mr. Data from the Enterprise on Startrek is better. A thousand fold, faster, crisper, and more accurate. 😅

[@eileenfabri5497]

Bass comes in 4,5, and 6 strings. And Charles is a 1 in a billion musician. There is only one person born with skill and ability like this about every 300 years. I'm a bass player and this guy has impossible mad skills! Peace brother.

[@johnnyq1233]

ya... bass has 4, 5 or 6 strings..mainstream... you can get more strings on the boutique side... Charles is on another level!!! That dude is all badass!!! You need to dedicate a few years to your instrument to get fairly decent at slap and popping! tapping is another few years... It just goes up from there....

[@boon23]

so your reaction is, you don't know about bass and you don't like talented people... well, I loved your reaction, when Charles was playing. That was worth watching. I mean you. And Charles. And together.

[@tannji5971]

Man, I want to like Davie more... but Charles comes out every now and again and tells me to stay in my lane. And... Was that "Ocra Ass"? Whatever, I think I have that as well. = )

[@NightwishArena]

They both have plenty of amazing and very entertaining videos. I'd say that I'd like to like them equally, but Charles is a better player. Probably the best. Not that it means too much, because Davie is one of the best too.

[@rja4479]

Need to do a Reaction to the song & video of Aaron Lewis- Am I the Only One!

[@k.godden7020]

How does someone not know that regular basses have four strings not six? Jeez..........

[@Ofthegirl09]

You should cover Davie504!

[@jeffjones6221]

This and that Russian guy are freaks of bass. Btw, bass is 4 strings. They do have higher stringed bass's, fretless etc etc

[@tjhorne82]

Russian guy?

Bass has 4 strings although there’s 5 and 6 strings bass also but to do what this guy is doing on a 4 strings it’s amazing
