We need a much longer version. Everything this man does, sounds epic.
Somehow I suspected you would watch this channel too! Maybe it’s the screen name.
@@RamseyDewey
I wonder what else we have in common.
I watched it at 75% speed 😂
Agreed.
Yes, please!
My Mother passed away two days after you uploaded this video. I remember watching this at the time it was uploaded, My Mother was being taken off life support and died two days later because she couldn't breathe on her own due to aggressive brain cancer that had destroyed her brain. This tune will always bring back the feelings of sorrow I felt and still do but at the same time a sense of love and appreciation for the Mother I was blessed with. Thank you buddy. Liked and subbed.
Sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss man, stay strong
Goosebumps reading this dude, sorry for your loss. Stay strong
Sorry bout this man!
stay strong my guy
The Shire theme perfectly encapsulates the feeling of enjoying the comforts of home.
so true. * all the more exaggerated with the fact they leave to go through hell and finally come back again.
Also the depths of potential melancholy in anticipation of those inevitable partings that must indeed follow life's grand adventure with those whom we love.
F***! What storytelling!
Really reminds me of Last train home by Pat Metheny. What a nice sounding tune, that bass is awesome and the player it's even more cool. Nice vid!!
Had the same reaction! I love that tune!
Was about to write the same thing.
Same. I came down here in the comment section to say this and was glad it was near the top of comments section already!
I think Last Train Home was the ending credits song to a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure season. I wouldn't be surprised if he watches the show and was inspired. Edit: I just saw this is Charles Berthoud; he probably already knew the song.
@@rstyknfe You are right about the ending credits. I recall The Consouls bass player mentioned how 🤯 it was when he realised it.
that’s a really sick bass
... player!
It is
Takes at least two hobbits to play.
Still waiting for a video of him going in depth and talking about the Le Fay basses
Lórien bass.
Your arrangements always have so much heart in it. Beautifully played. ❤️
Thanks!
ya charles is like the only person who makes bass seem interesting
@@youtubeuser206 you don't listen to enough bass 💀
true
Hello Charles! I really like the way he plays. I would like to know what tuning you used for this song? Thanks
This stainless fretless is one of the most beautiful sounding instruments I've ever heard. Not just anybody can play one of those things, and you make it sound effortless. My only complaint is, it wasn't long enough. More of these, please.
This made me tear up. I agree that we need a longer version of this masterpiece. Truly a sound worth coming back to.
this guys arrangements and compositions are always incredible .
Thanks!
@@CharlesBerthoud you're an inspiration man, thanks for all ur vids.
True. Lots of bass virtuosity out there, but they do not write and arrange beautiful pieces.
The most interesting remix of a beautiful song I've ever heard. It moves in a way that is truly original. I'm so glad I found this.
Thanks!
This reminds me of the song "Last Train Home" by Pat Metheny
Beautiful... Reminded me strongly of other old master piece: Pat Metheny's "Last Train Home".
Keen ear you've got.
It’s videos like this that really impress me. Charles’ flashy playing is quite something, but the perfect intonation on such a difficult instrument, the fluency, that’s really classy.
Has a Pat Metheny Last Train Home feel to it. Nice!
Exactly my thought 👍🏻
Mine too!
Yup, just needs some ethereal vocals!
Same vibes here
In fact, I'm gonna give it a go now 🚂
Fretless bass really sounds good.
Another amazing original, well played Charles.
Thanks but it's actually a cover of The Shire theme from the Lord of the Rings movies!
@@CharlesBerthoud yes but the arrangement is definitely original!
Does anyone else just watch these and feel like never playing the bass again. You’re too good man.
Can we get like... a 5 minute version of this? 😅 Or 5 hour for that matter. Amazing!
Six months ago I didn't even know you could play bass with a bow, now it's one of my favorite sounds 😊
Yeah I love it, especially on fretless!
*classical double bass players enter the chat*
But for real, if you're looking for more bowed bass, Edgar meyer is exceptional. He uses a standup tho.
Check out vids by Damian Coccio!
This is my favorite LOTR song, and this arrangement is amazing. I wish it was longer!
Those harmonics on a bass at 0:20 are insane. This s a very talented player.
Charles: What can man do against such fretless bass?
Davie: ride out with me... ride out and slap it
Charles: for funk and glory?
Davie: for the memes; for your people!
cringe
@@jf9052 L take
outstanding
Getting Pat Metheny Vibes from this. Sounds fantastic!
I was just thinking it sounded like Last Train Home
Same. Yep definitely some Last Train Home inspiration
just friggin gorgeous. felt like I was skiing down that fretboard on an icy winter morning with warm coffee in my belly
I know what you mean 🤣
We have rain today with dramatic skies - putting this music on while driving around sounds heavenly for sure! ❤
Just gorgeous 😍 Would love a 15 minute arrangement of this. I used to watch the first LOTR movie to put me to sleep in college. The Shire Theme is just beautiful.
Love these covers man keep up the good work
Thanks!
Nice
👏🏻🎉🥇
No one else plays the bass like you Charles, it's refreshing and takes bass playing to another lever🙂
Man that was too short. Please make a longer one. Such a beautiful version 🤩🤩🤩
I love it when you playing the FRETLESS-STEEL BASS :D
Thanks, I love how it sounds!
This brought me to tears. I have such an outstanding love for LOTR so to hear this was absolutely amazing, thank you!
Charles, the beauty you bring to the world in videos like this makes the usual stupidity of the human experience worthwhile and more bearable. Great composition and expression. Awesome.
I was not expecting to be hit with SO MANY GOOSEBUMPS, that was so beautiful!
I’m always amazed at the talent and creative abilities of such a young master of the bass guitar. Hauntingly beautiful!!!
I would sure love to see Charles in concert someday, though at my age, it’s unlikely.
This made me feel like this is what life would sound like in Lord of the rings
You played that so fricking smooth, great job. I would love to hear a longer version
You're really pushing the limits of what is considered possible on bass, while developing a growing talent for composition and arrangement from video to video. Just keep doing what you do, it's only getting better and better since I started watching your videos.
I just finished watching the lord of the rings 2. The timing of this video is perfect.
Nice, I rewatch them every couple of years haha
@@CharlesBerthoud Nice. I'm watching them for the first time.
Shame the Amazon show is making a mockery of Tolkien's vision and even Peter Jackson's adaptation(arguably the best trilogy ever).
Same with me man
@@CharlesBerthoud LotR/Silmarillion themed concept album for solo bass when?? 🤔
wonderful , splendid , marvolous , incredible - your technique n skill is beyond greatness , stunning what u can make possible on bass- admiration - greetings from germany
Like everyone else said, I'd love a longer version so I can peace out at work. I can't just keep repeating the one minute clip lol
Simply THE best bassist in the world!
This bass is a piece of art. Great playing as always 💯
THIS IS AMAZING i literally watched lord of the rings last night on disord eith people lul, also you are so talented on the bass aaaaaaa
And already 1k views in 4 mins that is also really impressive
Harmonics on the fretless bass are otherworldly...😮 Thank you for this ☺️
I was just watching Fellowship with my 4 year old for the first time! and he's already a Charles fan :)
Lord of the Fretless. Always amazingly inspiring and so creative what you do on a instrument that for many many years was regularly shoved in the background. Lowest in the mix. Rarely featured. And typically the instrument played by the least talented member of so many bands. Not anymore!!! Sometimes I think it would be nice to see you thrive in a band. And then I come to my senses. Many bands would love to have you and need your tasty and lyrical playing. But you don't really need them. Thanks for bringing this instrument to the forefront. One bassist to rule them all, Lord of the Bassists. Haha
Sounds like Last Train Home by Pat Metheny Group. I love it!
the guitar part, you mean?
@@delarkaBCN The whole thing.
I know this might sound bizarre, but this rendition makes my heart both happy and ache at the same time. I want a longer version so badly
Man, I never thought that I need something so much in my life but I really need the full version of this, please. It was freaking AWESOME
Дорогой Чарльз, я - опытный музыкант, дирижёр, фанат твоих аранжировок!!) ты каждый раз сносишь мне крышу своим звучанием!!!) с любовью из Санкт-Петербурга!!
Спасибо! Восторг и восхищение!
Charles, there is no language in the universe I know of, that could describe your playing. The emotion, the technique, Your offerings touch the heart, soothe the soul, and baffle the mind. You are an 'other - worldly' talent we are blessed to enjoy. Thank-you in my language.
I want an album of this. Absolutely stunning.
Beautiful 👌🏼
Молодец, хорошо играешь! Мир тебе и твоему дому.
Literally watched this 12 times despite already being late for work. Incredible!
Please make a full version. This is so good.
The ebow part sounded like a wind instrument, so cool.
What a beautiful arrangement. I wish that version was abit longer
I've listened to this on loop for about 15 loops, i would kill for a longer version
Please do a long version of this one day! That is just amazing!!!
A life dedicated to an instrument and music ......this is the result. Outstanding ( as usual)
Please, please, PLEASE! We need a full length version. ♥
That’s one of the most beautiful basses I’ve ever seen
Your skills are one thing, but the way you feel music is just a pure madness.
The ebow sounds super sick on the fretless!
Those harmonics are absolutely filthy-smooth.
As a fan of both, Charles and the Lord of the Rings, I approve this! ^^
The e-bow on this fretless bass sounds heavenly; I am glad you used it for this arrangement! Thank you, Charles! ♥
Wow - complete restraint on your part... epic sound! Thanks for this very nice break in the world's chaos.
My favorite movie soundtrack played by my favorite musician, this gonna be a good day.
Wow the Ebow on fretless on the high registers sounds like a flute! Super cool
Your skill and technique just blow me away!
I didn't know that music could feel comfy. But this, this feels comfy.
charles never ceases to amaze me. I've been playing bass for 3 years now, and I cant even comprehend how you can be that good.
This melted my heart.
Love the use of the ebow for the haunting string line. Nice touch!
You never, ever dissapoint. Again I start my workday with a smile thanks to you...
I say this every time is see this bass guitar, it is the best sounding and looking bass i have heard and seen!
Holy crap. that was sweet. somebody did nerdy stuff on a bass about nerdy stuff! finally!!!
Phil Keaggy used an ebow on several recordings. Nice job as usual. Incredible musicianship.
Best bass player on the planet. Awesome job!
Might be the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard
One of my favorite songs ever from one of my favorite movies ever. At :35 there is a part that makes it sound like a wood flute. Sounds really cool.
It kind of sounds like a steel drum, what a beautiful instrument and beautiful playing!
Steve Bailey needs to hear this and be proud of the youngsters and their compositions!
Stunning. Pure music. Bravo.
Have been listening to this ever since
This is a great post. Fretless playing, and bass, sound great!
I love how much you play up the "Last Train Home"/"Still Life (Talking)" vibes on this lmao
That sounds really cool. Amazing you can play it with no fret marks across.
I've heard a lot of beautiful bass music in my life but you play some of the most beautiful bass I have ever heard.
This has such Mark Knophler vibe a'la Princess Bride. 👑 thanks for making this magic...
Almost perfect. To be completely perfect it should have the duration of the extended versions of the movies
I’m laying on my bed crying 😫 So beautiful
So beautiful, you have inspired me to work even harder on my bass technique and that there are even taller mountains to climb
Howard Shore would be proud of this rendition of "Concerning Hobbits" Well played Charles!!
Beautiful. Gave me goosebumps.
Love this rendition of a great tune
It's so beautiful, I am actually tearing up
I'd love to hear a version of this that never finishes
That is the chef's kiss of covers
