➡️ If you play bass guitar, and have a broadband internet connection with access to KZfaq - you've surely seen the sheer brilliance of ‪@CharlesBerthoud‬ by now. If not, I hope you have a spare change of pants nearby. Charles has taken solo bass playing to new heights over the last few years with his sensational videos covering everything from his arrangements of classic songs to his own original music. In this video, I have an absolute blast reacting to, and analyzing, his renditions of "Master Of Puppets" and "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica - both played in completely different styles on a multitude of different basses. I break down the techniques he uses for both including slap and pop, double-thump, two-handed tapping - and then dissect his beautiful arrangement for "Nothing Else Matters" with a masterful use of bass harmonics and chordal tapping. Charles is inspiring the next generation of bass players, and I have an insane amount of respect for it!

Thanks for the kind words!! Really enjoyed your analysis, you’re 100% right about tapping - you’ve got to have the raw sound be nice and clean otherwise effects really won’t help much. And to clarify how many fingers I use when tapping - those fast flurries I usually don’t get the pinkies involved but more melodic, slower stuff the pinkies can help a lot

I’m a non-musician, so take my opinion with a grain of salt on this, but what blows me away when I hear a bassist or guitarist on Charles’ level is the fluidity and seeming effortlessness, no matter how complex the playing is. With highly skilled but lesser bassists and guitarists, I find myself straining a little while listening, unwittingly willing the player to make it through. With a player like Charles, I am filled with confidence and just sit back and enjoy the pure poetry as it emanates from his instrument.

I think you nailed it with the statement that went something like, more than his excellent technique, you are impressed with his arrangement skills. I have thought this for some time. I used to think I was cool to play the bass line to James Bond or Dragnet. In Charles Berthoud's version of the Bond Theme he incorporates the strings and other instruments on the bass almost like The Call of Ktulu by Metallica. I take pride in playing easy, steady, bass parts well and being able to play a little more complicated stuff when it is right for the song but Charles and Davey and approximately 100,000 extremely talented young ladies and gentlemen on youtube are a marvel to behold. It is not necessarily a competition all the time thank goodness for me, lol.

Watching a virtuoso in his prime, he's truly the Paganini of the bass.

I bought a Gretsch short scale less than a year and a half ago. I have no formal training. I don't know chords. I can't read music. I can't play actual songs. I CAN go up and down the frets and make up "stuff". I love it! Sure, I'm learning bad habits and crashing all over the place but it's raw, fun and sounds super cool to me. I play every day with it. I can't play. But, I have tremendous fun and satisfaction playing it. Charles inspirers me. Davie does too. So many great musicians are out there. I'm no musician but I hope to be one someday if only for a few minutes a day while I'm playing with my bass. I got a couple of drum videos that I uploaded to KZfaq just to show a friend what exactly I was doing with an old junior drum kit. It's hard to watch.

Charlie is one of the best ever bass master and musician ever lived.

Every time I watch Charls do one of these super fast songs, it looks like it's playing on 2x speed, but I know it's not. It's nuts, they guy is litterally a bass machine!

I have been playing guitar for years. I was serious about it but now I am 60 I just don't have the drive I use to have. So I haven't learned anything new for years now, and I go for weeks without playing a single note. After watching young cats like Charles I kinda tell myself I should host a guitar bonfire for all the people like myself because we will nevet get to this skill level of playing our instrument. But then a friend reminds me that having a hobby I enjoy will help keep me more sane even though I will never get close to Charles ability, he is a prodigy. I see you are probably thinking similar thoughts realizing you will probably never get to this level. Keep playing because your love of music. That's where I got off track. I spent too much time playing in clubs and it got old and repetitive so I burned out. I still love music so that is why I brushed the cobwebs off my axe, to give me that hobby I still enjoy.

Agree, that 7:30min riff is the hardest one from Master of Puppets...

you demonstrated pinch harmonics, there's also tap harmonics and fretted harmonics where you're using the 5th, 7th and 12th harmonics above a fretted note to get a clear harmonic note. using those you can get any harmonic note you want.
