They say you have to be your own number one fan...
I may have taken that statement too literally. Also what song next?! 👇🏻
Do smoke on the water
If The lesson was the easyest song in the world?
Boney M - Rasputin
September! 😀
thunderstruck
People are talking about the "Mandela Effect", and I'm here experiencing the Berthoud Effect, where every bass line sounds way more awesome than what I remember.
Charles Berthoud, this comment right here is gold.
i suffer the same...
It also contains a weird "Bum, b k baba Doot!" riff.
It’s because the rest of the band always waters down the bass 🤣
include me in the screencap
That was one of the best hardest songs yet. You must have practiced over a million hours for this one. Bravo! So much fun to watch and groove to.
It's Charles, he probably rehearsed it for 5 min or so.
Definitely feels like a million hours 🤣 worth it though
This is what happens when you practice 48 hours a day, 14 days a week. :)
@ᑎᗩᖇYᗩ GEᖇᗩᑎ💌 I'm only 3 can I still get in? I got like 50000$ in a trust fund from my daddy.......our last name is Epstein
@@CharlesBerthoud would you ever do a BTS video? I’m sure I’m not the only one who is REALLY interested in how you produce your content.
I'd like to see you play "Superstition" by Stevie Wonder It is such a funky song and with your creativity, I can't imagine how much more you can do with the song.
Yeah, that would be great and so would "Higher Ground" by Stevie.
@@gardenofeels6872 Higher ground already capitalized on by RHCP
@@JakeWitmer I agree. The Peppers did a great job on that song.
i would love to hear this omg
Great recommendation 👌
It’s not just the bass, it’s the personality, screen play, acting, composition, editing, balance, the whole package - another Amazing Videos By Charles - and total entertainment. Thank you.
According to a research paper, Stayin Alive has the perfect pace to perform CPR. I think with that cover, you won't even need the CPR, the guy will just come back to life after the tapping part.
Ist just a song at 100bpm. Yellow submarine also works. In fact, I always switched between both in my head which worked perfectly to keep the beat.
The most ironic/cynical one surely is 'Another One Bites the Dust' by Queen. Only sing it while performing CPR if you're all alone. :D
That synth solo can save lives, for sure!
Using Stayin' Alive for CPR could be dangerous. You might start dancing on the person's chest and kill him.
Another one bites the dust has the right beat too 🤣
You can tell by the way he uses his bass, he's a music man
You can tell by the way his fingers jiggle that he's a sound person
... by Ernie Ball!
No time to waste...
Bass loud and synth warm
I'm a funky man, no time to talk
You know Charles could just wake up one day and decide to play bass with a fish and he'd still make it sound great
I bet it would be a Bass fish
Charles would need to practice his scales for a little time beforehand otherwise the sound might tail off. 🐟
@@Laz_Arus
You punny bass turd !
That’s basically what’s his videos have been about for the last 3-4 months.
"I played BASS with BASS And it sounds UNREAL"
incredible, bravo dude! that was so funky, i dislocated all my limbs dancing to it
That synth solo hit SO HARD! Insane job and insane musicianship!
I wish Charles looked like this in every video!!!! It would change the entire vibe of the channel. Great playing as usual. Impressive variety of styles.
@Adele K Thanks for your encouragement!
Leave our handsome CHARLES alone! He's PERFECT!...(His wife agrees!!)
Don't miss Robin Gibb's eye glasses!

The Jaco deepfake is priceless.
Just love the creativity. The runs, the tapping, it's all a work of art materializing before our eyes. Keep it up Charles, you deserve all the accolades. You play with heart and passion, you pour your soul into every note.
A synthwave rendition of stayin alive is something I didn't realize I needed in my life.
whats crazy is not only is he an insanely good bassist with a unique playing style that is actively refining and changing what it means to play the bass, he is a talented composer who uses musical knowledge to create intricate, complex, yet enjoyable compositions that are difficult to play yet not pretentious and still convey a good, enjoyable version of the melody
im so glad that i have the chance to witness talent like this
I didn't know you could play piano! Amazing as always. Whens Ludwig bringing out a synth album??
whats crazy is that what he is,a pianist who now plays bass
This is a great idea!
From what I've heard, he really studied music in school. So it's fair enough that he's just that good to play musical instruments.
In fact he start with piano at 9y et move to the bass at 12y old
Okay, so apparently Charles is also a keyboard master?
Geddy Lee is not dead, you're not allowed to be his reincarnation yet.
Charles is far superior than geddy lee
@@metalnz7685 No one is superior to Geddy Lee.
@@davidsandrock7826 this truth is self evident
Geddy Lee sings and wrote a lot of songs.
Charles is an amazing musician with piano, bass, some vocals. Totally different styles and to be fair, the show off bass stuff is what gets views and a living wage.
If yt didn't exist charles would probably be playing and writing in a full band as a bassist aline can't earn a living not online.
You make everything possible on a bass! This is the kind of bass play i dreamed to hear... Super precise, with harmony and great funk. Thank you, that's always such a pleasure to watch your videos!
This was by far my favorite "hardest song", and the synth components really added to it.
This videos needs WAY more love than it's getting. Brilliant!
One of the rare bass players I"ve seen who can incorporate phenomenal technique into a song, and play it the way it's meant be heard.
that synth solo was transcendent, and completely unexpected. Reminds me of some power/symphonic metal songs I loved growing up
it sounds like ayreon lol
or dream theater when they're not being impossible
@@jedinxf7 absolutely, they were both ones that came to mind as I made that comment lol
It sounds more like Edgar Winter... He should cover Frankenstein now.
Bro, it is STUPID how good this is. I really appreciate the dedication to your craft and the skill you've developed.
Edit: thanks for the love, T A P P E R S 😁😁
Agree. He's a beast!!!
I honestly think he's better than Davie504... But that's just my humble opinion.
@@dannymarz3269 Yeah, I watch Charles, but I do not like Davie's videos.
@@dannymarz3269 He is miles better than Davie! Not only his technics but also his creativity and sense of improvisation, the harmony. I mean he has it all and he is a great musician!
Not to mention how good his video editing has gotten, the music video clip in the beginning was excellent 👌

He got the short end of the stick if it was cuz all he's got is his CZcams fans lol

@@brucehansen7949You don't really understand how this whole thing works nowadays, do you?
Never heard such bass, but I'm even more impressed by the arrangement
I don't know why this guy didn't reached 1 million yet . This talent should be respected .
@john cash ok
@john cash ok
It's well over million now only one month later.
@john cash ok
:P
Already on 1.3 million. Also, respect is not necessarily measured simply in follower numbers. (DJT had 45 million followers on twitter before he was banned - I'm not sure he's respected!)
When the full on synth kicks in at 2:12.. OOFT. Is it time for a secondary synthwave channel?! More of this please! 🖤
I agree it was too good
That tune was killer on its own
Yasss
I like how he looks in amazement at his own hands like, "Damn, look at me go!"
wow.... im impressed. you made your reactions so realistic, almost as if there were actually two of you in the room together. great work!
Ludwig on the synth though! That solo was f***ing tasty as f***!

Astonishing work, both on quality of sound, presentation, and pure awesomeness. I hope to ever do something as cool as this in my lofe. Truly well done my dude.
Charles actually creating his own multiverse of madness,
always a pleasure to watch your videos thanks for that
I love how the song still shines through despite everything that's happening, like the sliding hammer on/off melody that you keep clean. Amazing video as always Charles!

I love how sanded down the end of the fretboard and the body where the fret board ends, shows that he uses it a lot
I keep coming back to hear this and other of your out-of-this-world interpretations. I'll never be a real bass player, but I've been inspired by your videos to take some lessons to learn the basics from a neighbor who's one of the best bass players in our state.
Your capacity to create fantastic arrangements is beyond description! You do on bass what only players such as Tommy Emmanuel can do on guitar. Longtime sub, love your videos!
That synth / bass sync at the end was HELLA COOL!
@Alisa Vewa leave.
You are a monstrously good musician, it's really inspiring seeing such a creative spin on a cover song and all of the unexplored avenues of playing... You rock man
The goosebumps moment for me was the little reversal at 2:34. Amazing
My mom passed away 3 years ago loved this song and would LOVE your videos. Especially the classical metal ones, I think of what she'd say if I could send them to her. Awesome work charles!
respect. i'm almost in the same boat and it's pretty crushing :(. But... music is the great healer for me
My condolences 💐
Still requesting September by EWF...hope I don't have to wait until September...If so wake me up when it ends 😉
I see what you did there 😎
Awesome Charles! I love seeing all your hard work pay off! You're more than just stayin' alive, you're an inspiration! Congrats again on 1M subscribers!!
Charles. You are definitely one of the most talented musicians I have had the pleasure to listen to. Congratulations on your channel and I hope you have continued success.
you are consistently great but this is one of my favorites you've done. time for me to go practice.
Thanks, have a good practice sesh 👍🏻
High skills, increasing enthusiasm, real love to what you do...
You are a model of hard work and dedication...
Love your work🔥🔥
Not only is he the best bassist alive. He is also a pro at piano/keybord. Can hold his own with the 6 string small scale piccolo bass too.
This is amazing! You have a wonderful talent and a great sense of humor. Love it!!
Dude is at one with music, just gets every instrument he touches, insane.
Now I really want an album of all these song covers.
😮 Damn son, that was tight! 🤯 You just schooled me on what is possible on a bass guitar. Nice!
This is one of my favorite videos for fun to listen to. You did a great job on this one, Charles!
I feel like I've never played bass in my entire life watching your videos. You are the best of all.
I've followed u for some time and I've gotta say this is one of your absolute all time high! Had me laughing out loud!
How you can groove with such technical brilliance is beyond my belief! Amazing
Hey Charles, this was mind-blowing! Thank you so much
Wow... This one really hits different..
Every time a new episode of this serie comes out, i got this "refreshing" feeling, it's so gooood
Keep it up you hard work as always Charles!
Your efforts almost paid off, you're about to get a million subs!
OMG! I just can't get enough of this talent....David Gilmour's Brick in the Wall next but in your inimitable extended style... 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

@@jr2904 Yes, Pink Floyd's but David Gilmour's Brick in the Wall solo done on Bass in Charles' unique style. The solo is relatively short but Charles could build it into something longer and really quite special...
I love this. I wanna see more taking somgs that are very simple and making them incredibly complex and taking complex songs and making them sple beginner level
Fabulous! One of my fave tracks finally played right!
Knocked it outta the park. As usual.

great video ❤️
1:01 gives off a really groovy 70s vibe. you are amazing and made my day better with that melody.
charles is always a great listen. He's got soul ii can chill with.
Brilliant as always Charles. Please Please do a cover of Eric Johnson, Cliffs of Dover :)
But in that slappy way that you do. Slap happy, as it were.
This is pure gold, what the heck did I just witness? I love it!
I've played bass for almost 30 years and I can't even begin to comprehend your skills. I could keep up with the standard fingerstyle and most of the slapping but when you start tapping it blows my mind every time. It's like the Fur Elise bridge on bass, which is just ridiculously awesome. You're the freaking man, Charles!
I been following you for a good minute this is my first comment for you, and a very old musician, you are extremely good, a Genius and a Master/ level 600 or so. Keep it up, old musician like me really enjoy this.
Makes sense staying alive is hard with everything that's going on
Phenomenal! The tap-slide dyads in the pre-chorus section at 1:32 were next-level!
also - Charles should wear the wig until his actual hair gets that long!
When are we going to see “Charles Berthold: Live and In Concert”? The world needs it. I need it!
man i love these vids, please keep them up, your content is amazing
This is definitely one of the funkiest and most iconic songs out there. These songs turned hard are quite the intriguing endeavor!
I love the bass and you my friend take it to the max.
Wow, that was fantastic! What a talent! Amazing performance.
Genius at work!!! Probably the best bassist of this generation!! No doubt!! All around player!
Lyrics: It's alright, it's OK, you can look the other way
Reality: It's incredible and I can't stop watching
As always, great fun! Dude!!
You out did yourself! This was fantastic!! Thank you for your efforts! WoW!
2:41 goes so hard. My favorite part of this one.
I can't be the only one dancing around my living room to this 😂
You might be.
You're not the only one
Big fun, thanks! Play through.
Charles, you are the best bass player
Thank you so much for the awesome content
You content is way more genuine than other content creators
I remember reading somewhere, that "Staying Alive" beat is the perfect rate to perform a CPR. CMIIW. Btw this is seriously VERY impressive. And kudos for that synth !
Edit: Love the strumming part !
Either that, or "Another One Bites the Dust". I guess you choose based on if you are an optimist or a pessimist :).
Just not at THIS tempo! Dude hit fast forward on this one 😅
Lol it used to be the one they used all the time but the last two times I had to get my BLS renewed they used Baby Shark. Apparently it has the same BPM and younger people know it better than Stayin Alive
If you do CPR to Charles' version, the victim will turn to mush.
I first heard about it from Bullet Tooth Tony. (Look up a video called "Vinnie Jones CPR to Stayin' Alive".)
One of the most enjoyable bassist on utube
I. Am. In. Awe!! This is THE BEST guitar talent I’ve EVER SEEN! You have my profound respect and admiration!
Que técnica bem aplicada mano! Parabéns cara! Sou seu fã!
im always impressed by the bass playing but another thing i always wondered, how do you make your backing tracks because theres also a lot going on there that we never talk about
@Alisa Vewa @japanese Import - there's your answer....
@@MattyT_86 Hahahahaha
I read it like Stalin Alive
You are from another world... bloody good..really enjoy it.
I can only imagine the blisters while growing up. Lots.
What an awesome talent.
I actually remember that from my youth.
When I first started learning bass, my fingers were very sore and sometimes bled. LOL
I no longer play bass. LOL That's not why, though.
I now play keyboards and organ. No problems for fingers. LOL
But sometimes, sore joints in the ankles for playing bass on the pedals.
👍😁👍
Absolutely NO hate from a GINORMOUS fan... Of the bass. I think your synth would sound a whole lot better if it only had four strings!
Much love for the keys too don't get me wrong, I'm sitting on keys right now... But we all know you're not just a bass player, YOU ARE BASS!
Charles is very talented at bass. There must have another episode with Davie504!
