Original Song - Smells Like Teen Spirit (Nirvana) written by Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic, Dave Grohl
His sight-reading skills are so great he does half of it with his eyes closed.
Once you've practised long enough you can sense the notes on the paper...

“You want me to sight read two lines at the same time??”
Pianists everywhere: yes

Beginner Pianist players be like: 2:00

Ain't nobody care bout pianists we here for the bass, so leave your elitist crap under your 3rd chin pianust
This made me think of Kurt and Dave stopping at a Jazz club for Dave to go to the bathroom. When Dave comes out, Kurt is on stage killing it
but where's Krist?
@@theunwelcome Playing the accordion in the corner.
Christ could do that. He is really good.
Then you wake up and remember that curt couldn't even hold a guitar properly
@@gamingroom12 so?
He made music didn't he?
I love how he plays everything except the actual bass line.
I’d buy an album of 90’s rock/alternative/grunge hits done by dude.
I'd pay money for that, too.
Agreed. This needs to happen now.
I know, lefr me wanting too. Had a bit of animusic feel (but kinda better) & folks luv that (encouragement).
Shut the fk up and take my money!!
I approve this message. Count me in.
i like how the actual bass line is still playing in the background.
1:53 just perfect..
I have no idea why that part is so damn funny
how does he do that?
@@hamzahcovers4893 I think he's pushing the string off of the fretboard
@@maxwelledison9954 as someone who plays guitar yes he's pushing the string
We do a little trollin’
"I promise this is still Teen Spirit" I got ya bro, I'd recognize the chord progression anywhere
Even when reharmonized, it's still hard to not hear the song in there :D
The music teacher is finally not completely disappointed.
Haha so true
I always tell my students we can ALL get better on our instrument... But..... This guy is the one exception to the rule. Lol. Amazing playing brotha.
This guy is amazing
He cant get better he is already 100% you say
You post so regularly yet you still get better every episode. You really are one in a million. Incredible skill!
Thanks!
One in 7 billion tbh
@@josephruatkima4262 Yep, that's more like it
2:41 Such a beautiful chord.
Fits so well
Agreed
Just a diatonic major triad. I guess the third seems nice when you're deprived of it most of the time (ie power chords)
That's an A major in the home key of A minor. That whole progression is alternating between major and minor, making those 3rds stick out and giving it the energy
Only LingLing and Charles can sightread without looking. ✨
You know Charles practises 40 hours a day
@@Meowman-ct5ql
69 hours a day.
Lingling is fueled by pure boba and Asian expectations.
@@GuitarsRockForever 420 hours a day
@@hj2479 "asian expectations" LMAO
Charles' advertising skills are 10/10. I'm not getting square space but seriously, companies spend millions on advertising research and this guy just nails it.
If he's so good then why didnt you get squarespace?
Charles has once again scientifically proven the complexity of a rather simple song. Legendary!
huh
This is not the hardest song in the world. This is a tribute!
Please let Tenacious D be next. Anything by them.
That's kinda the point, that's why it says "if it was the hardest" as in he's adding riffs to make it more complex for effect as a tribute.
I love how creative this video is, not only do you make an easy song stupidly complex but you can still hear the original song, you have started to make the level names really creative! The last three killed me, keep it up!
2:04 this whole jazz part is insanely good
Why I tend to like the video before even watching it?
This is the way
@@CharlesBerthoud This is the way
This is the way.
This is the way.
@@CharlesBerthoud missed the chance to say “because you know it’s going to be good”
I've said it before, I don't know how a guy that can't even pronounce his own last name can have such mad skills and talent.
Charles is the only CZcamsr from whom when I get a notification it's an instant click, no matter what.
That's the secret to happiness in life 🙏🏻
Same with ichika, since they don't waste my time with bloat, I can always spare the time instantly
It is stuff like this that made me finally realize that i simply sucked at playing bass. I could get away with being crappy because it was the punk era. Loud and fast covered a LOT of mistakes.
"Kurt spends too long at the Jazz club" XD
I want to like this comment but it's at 69 ;_;
All the memes aside, this cover is actually really enjoyable. You can still discern the sound being SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT while seeing Charles slay the f out of it.
Ah Curtis Cobain back again with a jazz classic
The hardest part is remembering the lyrics.
I would tell you but oh well whatever nevermind
@@tommy_1629 pun intended? Nevermind.. lmao
@@sebastiandelasotta8341 They were quoting the Weird Al parody.
Mosquito albino whatever nevermind
Something about gargling marbles
Your faithful fan from Cameroon. Love you
Thanks!
Words cannot describe how much I respect you and your skill, Charles. Who knows how many bloody hours you've spend getting to this level, but I see your effort and have huge respect for it.
Two videos in one week from charles? This is the best day of my life
When Kurt spends too long at the Jazz club he's eventually able to read the music with his eyes closed 😎
Please make this idea into reality - “new hardest bass line - Imperial march vs A New Hope, The Battle”
I know you can create this masterpiece! Thank you dearly in advance.
YES
I’m picturing Kurt’s ghost finally being able to Rest In Peace now that his song was redeemed after being used in Moulin f-ing Rouge.
Okay now I'm DEFINITELY never watching that movie.
I freaking love the original song but hell yeah that was one enormous cover! Well done, sir!🙏🏼
"Kurt and Dave hit a Jazz club" For Krist's sake Charles...
That's THE guitarrist and the drummer, as a bass player in a bass channel I don't even know what to say...
ikr, krist where
😂💯
The chorus is just insane
I got to meet Kurt back in 2002, He signed a bootleg copy of Nevermind, saying, and I quote "Ehh, it was better on vinyl."
What's the 3rd hardest song in the world? 🤔
I don't believe you my friend.

Notification squad
@Игорь Краснопольский for fun
@@4242billybo how about now? 😎
The harmony you've chosen for the chords in the chorus is, without doubt, the main reason I come back to this video every single day. The tensions within them are so visceral and satisfying. You really are an incredible musician.
Wow your channel really grew this year. David's initial collabs/shout outs and your talent, love for bass as well as consistency of great content made this possible. Well done mate! Keep it up!
Man... Im a brazilian guy watching you playing... this is the most incredible thing that ive seen in my Life. Congratz, from all my hearth....
Sight reading without looking at the score, what a champ
The smoothness to the ad is almost as good as the solo... almost
2:10
Plays Nirvana on bass, leaves out bassist of Nirvana
I like how the square bass is standing with the other basses in the background :).
GOOD JOB 👍 Jesus bless you and your family from Norway
The jazz parts reminded me ever so slightly of the Mos Eisley Cantini band from A New Hope.
Honestly the jazz part was amazing.
I appreciate how he mentions Dave and Kurt, but not the actual bass player of Nirvana, Krist. :) Even bassists be overlooking bass players.
How does it feel to be the best bassist on CZcams and possibly of all time
I wouldn’t go THAT far
"........ In the worrrrld."
Seriously, Charles don't joke about that Authentic Square bass selling for $990,000. Someone might actually buy it.
Mentions Kurt and Dave. Never mentions... Nirvana's bass player.
I thought the same thing.
@@kelberutagori2578 Me too! Maybe in the skit he's supposed to BE Krist Novoselic?? I don't know.
It makes me happy folks as talented as this chose to be CZcams creators.
1:34 Man, I wonder where Kurt was hiding all of those harmonies...
The funny noise part reminded me of the Wierd Al version, worth a look if you've never seen it 😊
Clearly, cuz of my pfp, ill love this
Listening to this is what it felt when I listened to a song I knew while I accidently left a random song open in the back, and didn't notice it, because the song I knew was a cover. (This actually happened and I thought the cover wasn't great, I like it now though)
notification gang!
You're the best 🙏🏻
I cannot express how incredible that was and also how skilled you are. You made something so skilled looked easy! Very well done. 👏
The song DOES smell of gymnasium and PE class. Nice work! Pianists appreciate you giving me my left hand back... for ... other things I guess ..
I'm caught between wanting to see Charles play and wanting to close my eyes and live in the wave of nostalgia that hit me with the opening chords. My brother used to practice this song over and over again way back in the 90s when we were teens.
You’re officially better than Davie504
The skit-based nature of these videos are truly fantastic, really enjoying them!
god, this one hits close to home. me and my old bands always played this one as a joke, and put our own spin on it. sometimes it'd be more metal, sometimes more jazzy. this perfectly does what were trying to do.
torn between “funny noise” and “kurt spends too long at the jazz club” 😭
lmao pro
charles has been raising the amount of energy in his videos and its amazing
1:52 that high note and the double high note shortly after, idk why but they made me happy
*doink.... Doink-doink*!
I like how you're playing the guitar part instead of the bass line in the verses.
You must have a lot of top bands and solo artists that want you to record in the studio or go on tour with them. You make everything look so easy, you have to be one of the very best bass players in the world. I’d love to see you play alongside Victor Wooten
Now correct me if I'm wrong - this method is like learning the fretboard twice? Once for the usual, going up the scale, lower to higher - and the other for reverse and fretting on the opposite end of the neck? That is absolutely crazy. Godspeed Charles!!
This is genius, the Internet wants more covers like this !
Dude... 7 and 8 were awesome. Kurt and Dave at a jazz club... awesome
I don't think I know anyone who plays the Bass as clean as this guy. Great work.
Sublime! I can never tell what's coming next. I loved the castlevania chords in the chorus and the jazz detour was a blast. Special stuff!
Absolutely love this guy he makes my favorite song from Nirvana sound even more amazing .
Never thought that it would be possible but us bass players like to challenge ourselves. Well done my man, well done.
After watching a bunch of Charles' videos I'm convinced he's an alien from a species of bass playing virtuosos. Like a planet full of bass playing saiyans.
I didn't stick around for the ad. Thank you for puttingnit at the end of your videos
Mate, you are the living proof of endless humans’ potential... Seriously, it’s like the bass version of Yngwie Malmsteen. Not only it’s fast but also clean, neat and esthetic...which is a true rarity among all those soulless “shredders”.. Keep it up as clearly, the Universe speaks through you and your hands...
Victor Wooten is proud of you for learning all of his techniques AND his teachings. You're the first person I've seen take LITERALLY everything he showed on his DVDs and put it all together. Bravo, my friend. Bravo!
Love the strumming at the end.
bro there is no reason you aren't a 1M sub channel - stay gold
Dude, that was AWESOME! Funny, perfectly played and entertaining. Much love from Brazil!
WOW!! Not even a technicality of it, it's the groove and everything else you have,. f*ckin amazing!!
When you play the verse it really shows how pretty is the melody actually is
The Funny Noise part killes me. I come back to it periodically
My bass is staring at me and we're both contemplating if I should continue playing
I don't know why, but out of all the skill and comedy jokes, my favorite is still the "OH SHUT UP AND PLAY IT!" exasperated scream ahahaha
Total genius ! That jazz bit for sure !
I like how the instructor is always demanding but at the end is also impressed.
I got myself a Square bass, definately worth the $990,000.00 especially with the sale!
Oh my god i love that chord progression, it really gives it a different feel
I LOVE this new series! You're doing so great not just musically, but your "acting" is getting better :) Keep at it master bassist ;)
And that, folks is how to avoid a copyright strike .
Man you really are one of the best bass player of our time! Keep it up, the tone you have on your bass is so damn good, and super interesting to hear all the time. Love it, absolutely phenomenal.
Dude that jazz reharm
Mind == Blown
This is amazing, it reminded me of Tchaikovsky's eighteenth piano concerto, funny noise in a minor.
now that's an impressive display of skills and musicality. Keep it going, Charles!
I just learned rhythm for this now working on the lead. It’s hard just getting the right tone. You did awesome!
Youre “ if “......” was the hardest song in the worlds are all downloaded on my phone it helps me to cut of trees (my work) like a beast
I share it to my friends as much as i can
Youre a fucking awsome bass player
Amazing job! 🔥🔥
And Kurt, we love you ❤❤
If you had connected, wireless gloves which measured the distance from a fixed point (a bridge), you could play without strings. There are savings to be made! BTW, I heard a riff in that blizzard which was quite good.
