Supplying both the Funky Guitar rhythm and the Slap Bass! A one man funk band indeed! Cheers as always man

[@benjaminelliott7988]

I love that 6-string soprano bass as the second neck. Sounds amazing as always Charles!

[@BarrySwords]

I thought that was a short scale piccolo bass?

[@danteshi]

how do you even soprano-bass?

[@jamessteele3093]

I thought it was just a guitar neck

[@kane6529]

@@jamessteele3093it’s literally just a guitar and a bass 😂 it’s amazing by the way but I don’t see a 6 string bass

[@groove_beats_sup]

​@@kane6529 it's supposed to be a joke referring to Davie 504 that says for example that piano is a 88 strings bass

[@joenorsworthy]

I loved the modulations over the vamp during the 1:20 - 1:25 range. More of this artistry please! It's a small thing to most listeners, but it's next level when you add that tasty phrasing to your outstanding technique and funkiness.

[@roaling2]

🤓

[@broshmosh]

That whole sequence really stood out. Great stuff.

[@snadge69]

This is unreal man. I can't believe how this guy continues to improve. It's setting an unprecedented level. 😂

[@eliascorrea8573]

Give us a full length album on this style! This was one of your best ones yet, please consider, pretty please.

[@linusbirchandersen172]

LOVED the fingerstyle solo on bass!! So Vulfpeck-ish and so nice

[@Anubis_YT]

Sounds like a Vulfpeck song. Major Joe Dart vibes from that starting bassline :)

[@Anubis_YT]

Oh no wonder, it’s a Cory Wong plug-in.

[@BassByTheBay]

​@@Anubis_YT 😄

[@ethanlocke3604]

Sounds like Stevie wonder is what it sounds like

[@danyomega1472]

It's a Cory Dart

[@gameso3745]

Next stop, Dean Town

[@pdortona]

I don't think it's the instrument that is absurdly funky it's the way YOU make it sound ... as usual, you da man!! Fantastic job.

[@BillyReplies]

This would make Stevie Wonder proud! Excellent as usual, bud! 🤘🎸🤘

[@finner3619]

I agree. Wish he could see it.

[@hieishaka321]

@@finner3619 bet Wonder also wanted to be able to see

[@alone2break]

Yep, he didnt even see this one coming..

[@marchamill]

When you have too much talent, you need at least a two necks instruments. As always the musicality of your creations is spot on ! Ty for sharing.

[@audisentor]

I'm getting a ninety's sitcom-intro-vibe from this tune. Great playing and arranging as always.

[@CalmingAnxiety]

As a KZbin premium member I love it that when I ask Google to play some random music, be it in the car, at the gym, your music now comes up Charles. Love it. Thanks for all you do.

[@UnsamableGaming]

You really are so talented! I hope one day after enough practice I can at least come close to how great you are! Love the vids keep the great work up!

[@reswara254]

what most ppl probably dont realize is how the difference in size of the frets & strings requires the hand to adapt. Charles able to shift between both so seamlessly really showcases his massive skill 🔥

[@themandolinmaniac]

YOU are the all time Funk Master! I don't think the instrument matters as much. Thanks!

[@svenbohlin6017]

Again Charles, thank you so much for sharing your insane talent - I'm not exaggerating, you brighten our day in an otherwise rather troubled and uncertain world. God bless you!

[@MitchAboutGames]

One of my favorite videos of yours is showing your progression as a bass player over the years. Seeing you play guitar and bass in this video makes me wonder if you could contrast what skills you would have if you had played guitar instead for your whole life. "15 years playing bass vs 15 years playing guitar"

[@dave-d]

He's playing the entire drum kit with his toes out of shot too.

[@maccadoo642]

I've been playing professionally for 45 years. I've played with some amazing performers. You are on another level. What god has given you he could have split between 4 guys and had an incredible band. You have been truly blessed. I wish I wasn't so old. I'd like to see where you end up. Funk on Charles.

[@jimmydiggincats]

So good! Would love to see and hear you do a collab with Cory Wong or Vulfpeck someday!

[@rogercabo5545]

Love this epic self playing bass technic while playing on the guitar above. Charles genius!

[@fablerh2476]

Funky! And as always: well played, Sir. Love how you don’t just make tech demos, you always make music (which instruments should be about, I think).

[@divineatah5750]

Charles is really out here dropping banger after banger

[@Bernthguitar]

Easy one, guitar wins! 😂🤘

[@shubniggurath6464]

Nice references to Power

[@theRayzz]

That 6 strings picolo bass sound great. Amazing job😅

[@sergiomonaco3624]

Você não é humano! Toca muito!!!!

[@chrisc765]

love the key change and the "off key" notes. somehow every note he plays sounds perfectly placed.

[@cyclemike5182]

One man Wulfpeck! Outstanding!

[@xabiguitar]

The first bass groove with the octaved rhythm guitar....chills.

[@Rhiawiz]

Vibe is straight outta the early 80s!!!! Sick.

[@redwoodguyTTV]

Where is the button to like every video you’ve ever made??? Seriously, one of my fav channels of all time. You da besssss

[@MalMonaguillo]

That's amazing, you're the best YTber in all YT!!!

[@janj.2898]

Thanks for the discount Charles! I bought Fortin Cali Plugin and I'm quite happy with it! Finally getting a very nice sound of my Fender Strat equipped with EMG-DG20 when playing trough computer only, using external audio interface 👍❤️

[@chalky8087]

Hand eye coordination to an extreme level, Fair Plays

[@meowth9854]

MAN! I was smiling the whole time!

[@boldlygo3469]

100 years from now, your name will be LEGEND! You are ultra talented. As much as I love your videos, I also hope you leave some tracts (with your signature sound) for future generations to enjoy. Thanks for great videos.

[@ryandougherty8964]

Amazing! Went from the perfect soundtrack for a strutting montage to the perfect soundtrack for holding hands on a swing set. Perfection!

[@dylankopff5062]

Very cool great groove and melodies

[@paulcoverdale8312]

I recon, Markus Miller would look at this an say, oh yeh !!!! I’m just watchin an lost for words!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂

[@WillihamG]

sounds exactly like Casiopea, incredible as always Charles :)

[@sill3n]

This is insanely good. Dat 1364 chorus yum.

[@slappy_mcgee23]

We need a Spotify version of this

[@ucanttouchthis_0]

Short scale 6 string piccolo bass as the second neck? Sick!

king bootsy and clarke all rolled into one diamond package!"

[@pianoheze]

Dude, you are amazing! I love your videos!

[@jimchi.1119_youtube]

oooh, that 6 strung piccolo bass looks soo cool 😂😂😂, anyways absolute perfect work like always, i love ur compositions!!! keep it up 😊

[@thodpap1]

wow, that double tap and the run around 1:30

[@sathuria_pendragon]

that's what is happening when u let mad lad Chuck to cook. Absolutely astonishing, as always~

[@xotx4291]

You put strings on it and this man will Master it. The multitasking along here is behind mortal comprehension!

[@lifeezane3526]

You should try the FMguitars double neck basses, you could make such sick tapping with them!!

[@thibahult]

I am compelled to write something here because of the quality of this work commands respect and pushes to reference it.

[@louiejames1624]

Blow me away. That's ridiculous crazy good.

[@BassByTheBay]

Well, that's ok, Charles, but I won't really be impressed until you also attach a keyboard and drum kit. 😉 Absolute fire, dude. 🔥

[@TheKissarmy79]

That’s nuts, you never cease to amaze

[@Justamedic77]

This sounds like a theme song to a 70s sitcom

[@Walterses]

Cheeky nod to Victor Wooten's Amazing Grace right at the end there. Lovely

[@MrT3a]

That. Was. Amazing!

[@jonathansmith7614]

Awesome sounds like an entire band is playing

Straight up funky intro!!

[@bryanslepicka3541]

I wish this guy would join a band. There's nothing sadder than a soloist playing solo.

[@nemesisbass2133]

Charles-seamlessly begins to tab on both the guitar, and the bass. Me-F..k off.XD He is just to damn good

[@JaQba91]

Piece feels like Joe Dart, another like Victa, another some like Ichika Nito. Some like Stanley Clarke. And this Kirk Franklin’s „Allways” lick at the end! ❤ This mix should be on 2023’ podium!

[@lowbassdude1987]

You did it again. Love the 6 string picolo bass

[@somarstuga73]

I've never seen you playing an upright. I just love the tone of an upright and I would love to experience you nailing it!

[@forty576]

That bass has got the weirdest sound to it, hollow in the uppers, but it fits so well, amazing man

[@TheDiamondBladeHD]

I think there needs to be another collab with Tomo Fujita after listening to this!

[@broshmosh]

This was absolutely kickass! Really blew me away. New levels of stank and skill on display for sure.

[@zacharykithoran4058]

Charles the PRO! What an excellent jam that was! 10/10

[@corentinfauquet4555]

Amazing job! The main bass riff sounds very Vulfpecky, a whole lotta funk!

[@sebass_9212]

Just wow, I really enjoyed this on its entirety. So musically beautiful.

[@LucaDigioia83]

I got some Gran Turismo vibes from this...amazing as always Charles

[@jeffbeverly]

another masterful and enjoyable video!

[@smiff9567]

Charles confirmed psychopath for not having a 90° instrument cable. What was the builder thinking putting the cable there anyway lol.

[@meukbox]

Now I want to see you play a Chapman Stick!

[@nikkmorse]

Funkalicuous Charles....love it 🤘🏼😈🤘🏼

[@larspeh]

this was so good, I even stayed for the promo at the end 🙂

[@shanearmstrong9861]

All I can imagine is that Steve Vai saw this and started sweating. You're approaching levels of virtuoso previously thought unimaginable.

[@DavideFender8]

Music also teaches that man (the Bass) goes in harmony with the Woman (the Guitar), Charles you are a magnificent evolutionary

[@tomdaloon]

You, sir, have blown my mind! Again!!

[@averyhorton3614]

Too much talent in one body!

[@inckacraft9697]

Bro talent aside how do you find such good melodies to play? You really are impressive.

[@wmralder]

I've been watching for over a year now. I'm a big fan. I have to wonder though, have you ever tried a Chapman Stick? Considering your playing style, I can't help but think you'd rock it. Keep up the phenomenal work.

[@pcread]

I had a Hohner B2A stick bass back in the 80s, but never had the amp to to it justice.

[@fincoupe3511]

1:23 absolutely has to be a reference to Concrete by Cory Wong ft Mark Lettieri

[@IzzosPlace]

Awww that’s so cute the guitar trying to sound as epic as the bass. With a talent like CB it comes close but just not quite there. What a talent!

[@orinir]

That was FUNKY af! Loved it. 👏👍

[@mb-3faze]

Well, that was amazing!

[@stevemikellides5711]

Charles SMASHING yet another insanely good production 👌😁🙌🙌🙌🙌 On a similar note... I am in love with THAT guitar, that's something very special 🤩

[@ronstermeister8]

That Green Hydra gitar is sick!

Lol makes sense now, you're using the Cory Wong presets
