Even in a simple format, you still showcase your talent with sheer power and smoothness, and to use a Beatles song to compliment that. You rock as always

[@CharlesBerthoud]

Thank you!

This was beautiful. Stripping back all the layers of fancy editing and backing tracks, to leave us with pure talent and a wonderful rendition of a wonderful song. You have something special, Charles.

[@JohnNathanShopper]

So wonderfully musical and tasteful. Not only playing two voices on an instrument that technically can’t play two voices, but truly arranging the song with ambition and grace. So many people bury the melody.

[@alexeypiksaev3129]

If it technically couldn't play two voices he would be breaking the laws of physics. He isn't. The instrument has an infinite amount of possibilities and his talent should show that those possibilities are all accessible with time, energy, and passion. Don't make it sound like Witchcraft - it's hard work and he rocks :)

[@raayongoswami3914]

@@alexeypiksaev3129 yes, an instrument should not know any limitations, if it is possible, do it

[@Deep42Thought]

My friend, I am a professional musician here in Sao Paulo (Brazil) and I can say that is a honor and a blessing to see and most of all hear u playing!!! U are probably one of the best bass players nowadays and I am pleased to see your passion, dedication and love to our goddess music... I just wanna thank u from the bottom of my heart... u are simply awesome man, thanks a lot and whenever u are here in Sao Paulo get in touch so I can show u the beauty of brazilian music ❤ blessings my friend

This man might be the biggest inspiration source for anyone who wants to play bass

[@LageYouTube]

Depends on what you're into

[@gwarriorfromhell]

I grew up learning guitar, and would noodle around on a bass when my old band would get together and practice. Charles made me go out and get a 5 string bass and keep at it to get better. While I'm not fantastic at bass u have definitely improved.

[@Halfarmed]

@@LageKZbin yes, but he demonstrates us a lot of bass techniques. Either metal or pop bassist can be inspired by him.

[@CrustaceonsReef]

It depends on what you want to play. For me, it’s Ryan Martinie and Justin Chancellor. Fantastic bassists with their own unique style. I think the playing here is good for what it is, but it’s just not my thing and probably isn’t a realistic playing style for most bassists who play live.

[@I_AM_BAYTOR]

He's more of a dream crusher. How can you be the best when someone like this random dude on youtube is in the way?

[@Sebastiside]

I am a big fan of this type of videos. Love your stuff man!

[@lifeezane3526]

Hey! Just wanted to thank you for all the inspiration. You’re pushing boundaries for all of us bassists out there, and I’m really grateful for that. Keep delivering those beautiful songs! Thank you so much!

[@cyanynyn]

Thank you for such beautiful rendition of Yesterday... *tears in my eyes*

[@olsirmonkey]

something so calming about the pace of this video, no cutting or effects, just natural talent and music

[@CaptainTedStryker]

Pfft what a show-off...and I am loving every second! Spectacular.

[@caffeinecreature]

This feels cosy, warm, and almost intimate. You've got enough skill to pull off bass as a truly solo instrument and that's freaking incredible.

[@Rastolas]

The only one who proves that it can be possible playin without any mixing editing or any other kind of 2345678 times recording something special for youtube and potencional members, clapping in a good way ......thank you

[@opshlds]

Gorgeous rendition @CharlesBerthoud! Fantastic, simple (and I don't mean the technique; just the no edits, raw cut), rich and full of feeling. Love it!

[@PietroDigiovanni-x7x]

Wonderful! I've never seen Yesterday done with tapping on the bass

[@Phileosophos]

I appreciate your humor a lot. I appreciate your impressive skills all the more. Thanks for making your content.

[@williamgraham6878]

I love how raw it sounds. All the sounds of the instrument and the strings. Simplicity is what's missing in modern audio engineering.

[@TheMrTommo]

Playing the bass like a piano... a new goal has been set for me today

[@BrokenWingman]

hearing it this way, I never realized how much of a "classical" vibe Yesterday has to it.

[@robin-marcokranz2809]

Amazing video, Charles! 😎 Can you play all your basses in a unedited version? Fretless, accoustic and your 12-string just to mention some of them? Please!!!!!❤ That would be mindblowing.

[@darkojakimovski3834]

Would love to see more of these.

[@bendypierre7894]

He just a master in... I'm living Haiti 🇭🇹 so I just like the way he slapping bass

[@clascaulfieldjr3653]

Every time I watch Charles play I have to pick my jaw off the floor.

[@al-Bass]

you can shine a POS all you want. but when starting out with Charles talent and dedication, you don't need too much post production

[@letavik]

I never realised playing something as simple as Yesterday can sound so complex and beautiful

[@tanquay]

I love it too but he is adding a lot so I really dont see your point,

[@letavik]

@@tanquay I said that it can sound complex, because he's adding a lot. Hope that helps you understand my point a bit better

[@michaelmuliadi6088]

Simple, pure display of talent. The way you played yesterday was wistful and genuine. I like this kind of format!

[@ClassicalPan]

While this may not sound as clean and refined as it would post-edit, this is the best tone I've ever heard from that bass, and I have always liked that bass.

[@justblaze7907]

This dude is so good I purely listen to Trance and Electronic music and I’m still subbed and listen to 90% of what this dude posts lol awesome stuff

[@merlynxslab]

Absolutely flawless.

[@rottingemptiness]

Simply perfect 🎸

[@carpediem3991]

I half expected this to be an overedited satirical masterpiece.

[@SupermanNew52]

I'm just gonna say it. Charles is the best bassist on this planet. Charles would probably tell you otherwise, but he's just being modest and humble and that's why we like him so much. I don't say he's the best out of a place of ignorance either. I love a lot of top tier musicians/bands, and I'm well aware of the statement I'm making. Charles can play anything the other bassists can come up with, but I don't think they can play his stuff. Charles is young too.

[@markramsay6399]

So this is the unpolished version! Amazing !!

[@hhgreg2969]

I liked how intimate this felt! (sorry if that sounded weird) Would love to see more videos in this format!

Thanks for sharing! I just started recording videos and this video is a great tutorial on what to do. You are an endless source of inspiration. I admire your work and music! 🙏❤

[@michellep4792]

I know you've mentioned looking a bit like Ed Sheeran before, but every time I see you I think you look a lot like James Blunt. Lol. Besides that though, this video was beautiful. I love Yesterday and you did it justice. It was only days ago that I really believed bass to be just the two or three repeating notes in the background of a melody that didn't really do much other than add some rhythm, but after discovering your videos by accident, it's really opened my eyes and I've been enjoying watching a whole assortment of videos by different players, and loving every minute of it. Bass is very underappreciated I think - especially by people who aren't really knowledgeable about music, like me. It's clear from what I've seen so far though that you are well known and regarded and it's so very obvious why. You have a heck of a talent and I'm very glad to have discovered it!

This reminds me of when I was very young and started to learn songs. I didn't realize how important it would be to learn songs, until I thought about it. "Musicians play songs" I thought. And then I began to enjoy playing music much more. It's like having a conversation with the original artist and exploring how they expressed themselves to the world. Also, it's not as hard as I thought it would be. Great job man! You are extremely dedicated and creative!

Nice! I saw a couple of days ago in a reddit bass community that a few people were speculating that you heavily edited due to inability to play fast perfectly (if not sped up - GASP!) your videos.
