Charles, I used to hear from guitar snobs that any half-decent guitarist can play both the guitar and bass parts, while bassists can only play their own part. You, sir, have flipped that attitude on its head and then some. Not only are you so proficient at playing bass that few others are at your level, but you blow most guitarists out of the water as well. Thank you for the inspiration! My first bass arrives via post in a few days!

[@CharlesBerthoud]

Glad I inspired you and congrats on buying a bass! 🔥

[@ArenaceousWave]

When my old guitarist said something similar, I told him that was something only bad guitar players, that need to put other instrumentalists down to feel better, say. He actually never repeated it. And it is something that is generally true in my experience. Really good guitar players have a mutual respect for good bass players because all good musicians love honest and great music, no matter the instrument.

[@Swampbat1]

The only other person I could think of that sounds maybe better but as good as Charles is Cliff Burton

[@kmatthews66]

right? i was one of those guitar snobs that thought bassists were bassically (lol) hired musicians, Charles has made me rethink this, he is truly amazing... #virtuoso...

[@MAMAD_PEDO_EMBAT_BOCIL_6TH]

This is master piece

[@sashwatsethuraman6300]

After listening to this 2021 feels like the kind of year where people will no longer say you’re guitar is missing 2 strings

[@CharlesBerthoud]

😂

[@jeroen0011]

bass is ... BASS! and very nice :-), even tho i don't own a bass anymore i respect skills on any instrument and when it's not only fast and show off skills but also a beautiful thing to listen to u get subscribers who looking forward to every new upload

[@joshtee936]

[@voornaam3191]

Hey, your bass has far too many strings. What's next? A fretted piano around yer neck? Just saying. Why don't you introduce 3 string bass? Or a 2 string? Or even a no string bass? Did you never mention that cello solo's sound best on a violin? And a trombone solo is better when you take your trompet? It often is true. So why the hell wouldn't you put some guitar strings on your solo bass? Nobody ever plays solo really low. Simply cut away those low strings, if you never use them anymore. What? This high pitch hell has passed?

Hello Charles, I wish you a great year 2021, just wanted to say that I absolutely love your humor oriented vidéo where you play as different characters of the music world, such great quality content will, I hope, make more and more people come to your channel to enjoy what you do. I hope you'll stay active and that you will continue to show us your own personnality and style in your videos, cause I think that you have whatever is needed to succeed on youtube. Nice song though :)

Your passion for bass gives me hope that I can pick it up again and play just as beautifully as you one day.
