Any more challenges? 👇🏻

As a true southerner, your accent was 5/10. Bass Banjo Playing 100/10. Your talent is ridiculous. Keep it up!

Can we just agree that Charles have got to have insane patience to learn this. I mean every banjo player that is as good as these guys deserve all my musical respect, but he had to learn that on bass! Charles is amazing on bass but that must have taken som serious practice to nail that! I bow to you sir! That was amazing.

I play banjo, and it's not really all that hard to sound very fast with it. It's tuned to a chord and many stings are never fingered to make the fast notes. But both hands have to be fingering and picking almost every single note on the bass. This fellow ... leaves me speechless. He's in a league completely by himself. Amazing skill... I didn't think I'd ever get chills listening to bass, but...just WOW!!!

'Slap-n-tap-bluegrass-bass' is a thing I didn't know I needed in my life. This is great.

I'm not even halfway in, and I've already said "YEEEEHAW!" at least thrice.

Bass playing: Amazing. Southern accent: Needs a billion more hours of practice.

I have been playing music for 30 years and can’t wrap my head around how much talent you have… congratulations and lots of success to you

As a SW Virginian who's lived in North Georgia, that's not a bad imitation. It's more like a S. Georgia or a more urban parts of the south. The pronunciation of the "a" in Bluegrass had a New England/Boston sound to it.

As a Northern Georgian accent goes, you're a great bassist!

Very cool my Friend... I was the bass player for "Mean Mary and the contrarians" in 2014.... I also recorded some new tracks for her this year and she is an amazing banjo player and a great singer too

That boy is playing so effortlessly, he's amazing.

I remember seeing Sleepyman when the banjo was almost bigger than him. His brother on guitar is no slouch either. Would love to hear him play some hard rock/metal on an electric. You should have tried some Roy Clark banjo stuff.

Why do all banjo solos sounds like you're running out of time in mario

American from the deep south here. 6/10 on the accent. 10/10 on the bass solos.

I love the Sleepy Man Banjo Boys! Those kids are insane . . . so glad you included them.

3:45 the mother ship has landed. Brilliant mate. Absolutely.

Killed it brother!! Well done

I have never...ever...heard, or even contemplated, a bass being played like this. I am grinning ear to ear. Just. Wow.

That is most extraordinary! I can only imagine the countless hours you’ve dedicated to your instrument. You’re a talented young man indeed.

You are wonderful. Thanks also for openly sharing how wonderful the entire sleepyman family is in their talent! I only recently found you but shall eagerly await your new ones.

As someone who is learning Banjo, hearing Cripple Creek on a Bass Guitar hits different.

Can we petition to have Charles knighted so we can call him Sir Charles: Slayer of Bass

Absolutely fabulous. It’s unreal the talent that is out here. I love it.

Charles, I'm realizing you are more than a great player; you're also a great musician. It amazes me you can look and know what they are doing, while at the same time translating that to a different instrument. Well done!

As someone who has lived his whole life where they filmed deliverance (North ga Appalachians), I'd say you did a good job and the pigs would surely squeal to the nurturous sounds of your song.

Man these were even better than the Banjo versions! I also rate your accent 7.9/10

Amazing. Precise, clean, just wow. The power of a billion hours--and some amazing talent. Keep pushing the limits!

I listened to one song and subscribed. This man is truly amazing. Even get emotional when I witness the miracle of his music.

I’m from Louisiana…the accent didn’t even move the needle down here. Soon as you said norther… I’d have already called you a yankee. But the bass banjo was on point. Well played

One thing I notice with all those insane banjo players is how they have mastered that economy of motion thing. Even though it sounds like they are playing a billion notes per second, their hands hardly appear to be moving. Really amazing technique that I have never mastered myself.

That part where you were jamming alongside the banjo kid was great.

Pretty crazy and great musicianship in all these videos and in the challenges. I just can't get over how bass playing has evolved and all the flavors it covers. Really great stuff and makes me really regret never picking up bass back in my early teen years playing rhythm guitar in a garage band.

That was a really fast 114,000 years, and frankly for that amount of time, I expected you to ascend to be a bass/banjo god. A being of pure musical energy.

"shredding on that banjo" Words I never thought would be spoken.

Wow...you've got some crazy talent and clearly a diligence to practice and master your instrument. Keep going.

You are so talented. Keep doing what you do and keep a good head on your shoulders. You have so much going for you and you seem so nice. I'm so happy for you and I hope you stay good and nice. God bless.

Speaking as a 76 year old Canadian codger it's encouraging to see these wonderful talented kids. I also love the The Petersons

It's weird. I'm subscribed to 2 bass channels, and I don't even like bass.

Always, simply incredible content/playing! Thank you! 😊

Incredible talent man... great work

I rate it a 6, spent 14 years livin in the swamps of the good ol' Georgia.

Davie: Ukelele it´s so weak Charles: B A N J O

Brilliant video! love the challenges and accent!

Amazing! fast, precise and very musical! Loved it...

Can you make famous bassits playing musics of other bands (like, Victor Wooten playing in Metallica)?

I think Charles has a lot of fun with this video. It seems like he's genuinely enjoying playing this style of bluegrass music

That put a HUGE smile on my face! Thanks!

You did it body !!! Congratulations, you are a good musichian. Greetings from Mexico.

One of the funniest lunches i have ever had was with a friend from Ireland speaking in an American accent, and me trying to speak in an Irish accent the entire time. It took like 2 hours for us to eat, because neither of us could stop laughing.

Holy hell this sounded amazing!!!!! Always loved the sound of a fast banjo in bluegrass ..but as always Charles you prove that anything that can be played on one instrument..can sound a million times better played on bass..specially when it’s played by THE PRO! (Also got wicked vibes from when you did bass went down to Georgia)

Haha! Excellent! I'm from Marietta, Georgia (40km North of Atlanta), and yours is the best of our accent I have heard by a brit. Tracy Ullman is also fantastic, but she does a different U.S. region. I speak a few languages, so I'm idiomatically as well as accent-aware. It's hard to make suggestions about your Georgia accent because it's really close already. Remember when Kate Winslet was in Titanic with Leo D, and they were at the railing of the ship, and he said he could teach her a few things, and she adds, "And spee-it" (for "spit".) We don't quite use two syllables like she did and like you tend to do. Other than that minor thing. I can't fault your pronunciation. I'll give you this, YOURS is about a hundred times better than anyone in Hollywood I have seen in movies and TV shows. What we heard on the Dukes of Hazard (though it was a great show!) was not authentic. All good wishes.

Amazing, thanks for sharing your gifts and talents with us.

How could you not include some BELA FLECK banjo???? Thats truly the hardest of all banjo lines!!!

Accent sounds a little more Tennessee/East NC than Georgia, but 9/10 on it. Great work covering the banjo jams!

You young man are amazing. Let me know where else I can enjoy your talents

No words to describe what you just did.. beyond impressive!

I’m a folk musician. Hearing “Cripple Creek” at such a low pitch broke something inside of me somewhere.

I’m an actual northern Virginian and that accent was around 3/10-5/10 but banjo solos on bass or basjo solo was 10/10

that's an odd looking banjo

Brother!!! That is just awesome finger work, phenomenal playing!!

Johnny was actually ten at the time. :) I'm really glad that you did this, because the bluegrass section of your solo in ten styles was my favorite, and bluegrass isn't generally my favorite style. I think it works well with how you play, though. Another style that might, but doesn't get as much representation in what you play, is straight up Celtic music. (Irish Washerwoman being a classic example of one that's great for embellishment, especially in the bass lines.) For anyone curious, the tune's called Rockwood Deer Chase by Don Stover, and here's a segment of them practicing back in the day: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iqqklsx3p9qlpYU.html

i dont think most people watching this realize how impressive this really is... holy...

Pure class mate!! You are brilliant mate!!

Very cool! Nicely done.

Controversial comment to some but I think Charles is the best bassist ever. And yes I’ve heard a lot of them. Thank you

bro, your my favorite youtuber!❤ Your the best!

This was my all time favorite of your videos!!!!!!!

I can’t believe this is better than a guitar, a banjo, and just about any musical instruments around. Love it.

I love the bass and that was fantastic! That Mean Mary clip was great. Never saw anything like it!

Allright I declare this officially my favorite KZfaq channel ❤

Charles' talent never ceases to amaze.

A billion hours!? Dang man! So over the course of making this video you spent 229,616 years to manage to play those songs on bass. Now that is dedication my friend. Also most amazingly you don’t look like you’ve aged a day! You must use a lot of lotion. Lol great video sir!

You are the best bass player I’ve ever heard in my life bro , I never had much respect for bass players as a guitarist but u are a mastermind , virtuoso, genius and I’m radically impressed

Good job Charles!!

Great stuff from a fan of you and bluegrass.......great job sir.

Born and raised in Kentucky and loved Bluegrass music my whole 50 years of life so far... the Georgia accent is 7/10, the British accent is 6/10, and the bass "banjo pickin'" is 9.5/10. Tapping is not picking and has a different timber to it, but you have the speed bit down pretty well. Love the sound, but even taking the octave difference between banjo and bass into consideration, the sound quality between the picking and the tapping has a different effect on the ear and the notes.

OK that was pretty amazing. I don't think I've heard that pure of a banjo technique performed on bass before. Kudos.

That was awesome😲Great job!!

Charles, God amongst base's. Brilliant as always. John

As a banjo player, it was awesome to hear these songs on bass. Most bassists in bluegrass are pretty boring to listen to, but I knew Charles wouldn’t disappoint. Also like that he’s showing it to an audience that might not normally listen to it. The instrument is a lot cooler than the stereotypes surrounding it.

When you love Davie but you have to admit that charles is the G.O.A.T

You're an amazing musician, you the man!

I concur Charles. Well played. I saw veins in your temple pump when you were deciding who was #1. Two instruments at once is purely wicked.

I wasn't surprised that you were able to learn these parts but I was surprised by how good they sound on bass. Very cool.

Dude this guy is crazy good!!! My friend just gave up playing the banjo, now I think I'm gonna try to convince him to pick up the base!!!

Awesome! Loved it

Amazing stuff here!

Charles, I love your videos to bits, but doing a hardest banjo solos video without Béla Fleck is like doing a hardest bass solos videos without Victor Wooten. Fleck is one of the meanest and most amazingly technical banjo players. Heck, the Wooten connection as a fellow Flecktone should have made him an obvious choice for this video. I hope you do another banjo-centric video in the future!

3:59 this is like a boss battle in some kinda Yoshi's island bullet hell

AMAZing job! I wouldn't have thought it possible! 😮

reeeealy great . your incredible skills outperformed any 504 n other coolest guys.. the best bassist I know is u

When searching for the hardest banjo solo in the world you search for Bela Fleck.

This dude deserve more subscriber. His hands looks like a rock but like a jelly when he start playing his bass.

Oh my goodness this puts such a huge smile on my face what talent you have I would love to hear you do a bass version of the country song Tennessee Stud

New subscriber and you, my friend spanked those like a red headed stepchild! Really fun and well done!

Браво !!! Никогда не думал , даже мысли не возникало , что на бас-гитаре можно такие фортеля - наяривать .. БРАВО !!!

Me encanta el sonido que le das a ese bajo, esa interpretación tan pulcra y deliciosa. Un saludo y un fuerte abrazo.

Awesome banjo covers on bass brother!! Absolutely no doubt hands down the best!!! On your accent… I’ll give you an 8/10 😎👍🏻

Charles, you are the man!
