If ______ was the hardest song in the world 👇🏻

This is how I feel looking at normal sheet music

5. Tappy Jean is phenomenal. Its the dreamy sound that most enthusiasts of melodic/symphonic death/black metal bands would be proud to have in a song. I've heard very few sections quite as good.

I could listen to Tappy Jean for the rest of my life. I think it might be the most beautiful 10 seconds of music ever recorded. 🤯 And now I will figure out how to put it on repeat for 10 hours. Wow.

i had no idea it was possible to play that well on a bass, you really pushed it to the limit, this is awesome

The little ping note at 2:41 is the greatest bass note ever played.

At this point, you can basically play any song as the hardest song ever

That little run at 2:43-2:47 is just unmatched. Straight 🔥

Tappy jean 1:26 - 1:42 🤯 absolutely beautiful.

I just saw this for the first time. I dropped my jaw open, dropped the microphone and went for a cold beer absolutely bewildered. I've been a guitar player for over 50 years and I've never encountered a bass player this good.

I used your video in class today as I was teaching the 4th grade about sounds, pitch and instruments. They loved it and asked for more. Keep up the great work, man!!! Hats off!!!

The hits like at 1:19 is what made it for me and then of course the following breakdown. This is unreal talent.

No matter how many times I am surprised and delighted by Charles' playing I come back and he manages to do it all over again. No "getting used" to what Charles achieves - the tank appears bottomless.

Sleeping with your bass is totally normal - I sleep with my new surfboards. But who sleeps in a collared shirt? That's just weird.

Awesome, I loved Michael Slapson!

That tappy jean part was the part that blew me away the most because of how you made a classical music piece and a improvised synchronization of Michael's dance moves with the capability formalizations of the base and fused them into one pinnical luminescence of infinite scope of essence that elevated the originality of the songs message to a whole new level that raises the universal enigmatic connection bar between human capabilities and the inner visual premonition of how music resonates and reflects off of the soul of human intricacies of the human body and how music itself can be utilized as another form of people wide language socialization in multiple adaptations that could be innovated, improvised and insinuated just like in a normal conversation with another person except you have more time to make the person and the other listeners more comprehensive of what your trying to implicate. You expressed how music can truly be innovated and a way to inspire others who want to make their own music. Good music never dies it can only evolve and spread growth to new great songs and music ideas off of the foundation of music that stands the test of time no matter how old it is.

I just can't get that Tappy Jean part out my head. Never heard anything like that before, its just absolutely phenomenal ❤

Tappy jean was seriously something out of heaven! I want an expanded version NOW!!

I had no idea the bass guitar had this range. Very impressive

Number five tho… I would pay to listen to a full version of just that tapping. Holy shit man that was amazing. And I thought upright was cool lol

Hearing the dad play explains a lot about how this young lady is so talented. Nice work pop. ❤❤❤❤

It's never a bad day when Charles has an upload. You're the reason I practice every day, man, please don't ever stop playing that bass!

This man has got serious talents

@1:25 Brilliant - the Tappy Jean. And the whole performance is awesome; well done. 🏆🏆 🎸

Bro, every time I hear the Tappy Jean (1:25), I want to replay it over and over. PLEASE make a full video of Tappy Jean!

Love how the "funny noise" gets slipped in 😂

Tappy Jean is one of the greatest things I've ever heard. I would love to hear it on the 12-string bass.

Charles - you are the finest bass player on KZfaq! You build layers of music with one instrument that most people can't even hear in a full song. I salute you!

The sweep into the bend at 0:38 was perfect.

Hell yes Charles! You liked my suggestion and a week later you came through. You rock my dude!

Michael Jackson would be proud

I loved ever note you played in that piece.

If you recorded an album of covers, I'd buy it without a second thought

That Tappy Jean at 1:25 gave me goosebumps

There are no words in the English language that can describe the degree of talent this young man has.

Tappy Jean is a whole vibe!

I love it that you always put so much thought into your compositions, instead of just playing fast and impressive slappage you also combine it with beautiful music and thats not something every musician can do

My favorite bassline probably ever and this was the best one of "If_____ was the hardest song" in my personal opinion

I grew up on this music. It still speaks to me 50+ years later. These guys capture the vibe spot on! No wonder it has influenced young guns...it is still great! Osmosis baby to my ears! Thanks for being so groovy and keeping that sound going! I really dig you guys! I am 65...and play also...you nine inch nailed it! 🤭 Peace out my friend!

What a talented young man ! I’m an old man, so I feel I have to say , look after yourself, we need more musicians like you !

What to say… I’ve watched that video three times in a row and I think this is the most spectacular bass guitar sequence I’ve heard in my life. I know that no one cares but I have to say it. Really, fantastic performance, goosebumps and chills. I’ve been to a million concerts and I’ve never seen that. Spectacular. I rarely comment but now I had to. You already are a legend.

As a musician myself all I can say is you rock buddy. What an amazing gift you have. I’ve never heard a base song like that.

That was truly excellent! Great night, great band, even greater pub! Thanks to you all, Nick & Hazel, the band and the amazing staff pulling those pints! Quality live music night... yet again! 🎶 🎵

I have tried to play guitar for 30 years and well... I'm ok. After watching this I have been able to confirm I'm not a natural by any means. That was deadly and well beyond anything I could produce after a time span of playing that is close to this blokes whole life span ha ha. Bloody excellent doesn't cut it! masterful... well done!!!

I am a classically trained flute player, I've played for over 30 years...Amazing job..Billie Jean threw me for a loop when I learned how to play it a few years ago, and I thought Rachmaninoff was hard...I love listening to you play...

"When you remember to play the actual song" Lmao

not only did you cover mateo’s rendition beautifully….you tapped into his soul 🫶🏽

This brought me joy. Thank you!

Tappy Jean was phenomenal - such a melodic surprise!

If you added the 2:41 note on purpose, which I think you did, you are the God of bass and a blasphemy at the same time! Amazing musicality can be seen here despite of the impressive performance and technique exhibited. This what makes you special. Keep it up!

5 TAPPY JEAN👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️ it was amazing!!!👍👍👍🎵🎵🎵

I wanted Tappy Jean to just keep going. Bloody lovely.

Tappy Jean is my favorite part! So smooth to the ear!

"Tappy Jean" rocked. Super rendition.

I absolutely love Charles! I watch his videos for inspiration and he cheers me up when he plays just by the tone that he produces. Love you Charles.

Tappy Jean was something else, I’d love to hear that be expanded more

Your creativity, talent and precision is without equal!

Bonjour Charles. Je t’écris juste un petit mot de compliment. Je suis guitariste et de ma vie je n’ai jamais vu un bassiste aussi déconcertant que toi, chaque vidéo me retourne le cerveau. Non seulement ta technique est redoutablement impressionnante mais en plus ton feeling est à son apogée. Tu as tout mon respect et mon admiration. Quand je te regarde je fais le plein d’énergie et ça me motive. Merci maître.😌

Tappy Jean is absolutely killer.

Pure gold. Despite knowing by now how ridiculously talented you are I get just as amazed everytime. I'm fairly certain I won't come across a better bassist during my lifetime, not kidding.

I'd like to hear the entire song as Tappy Jean :D

Well crap, I always loved the sound of a good bass player, but this has me rethinking what I loved in the first place, This is beyond engagement material. Absolutely beautiful brother, your fluid jamming style is on a completely different altitude in outer space, you killed it. Thank you for sharing your gift for all to enjoy.

Pure genius...

Slapping the base is funky, but your tapping is always so crisp. Such a pleasing sound regardless of the track.

I swear if Charles posts ONE more of these videos I'm gonna... Watch and enjoy it 👍

I'm late to this game, but I'm not short on appreciation or awe. Utterly mind boggling!!

If Billie Jean was the hardest song to play it would be a thriller

I’m not sure how many times I can listen the this son but let the countdown begin. Well over a 100 at this point. Been listening to Bruce since I can remember and never heard a cover like this. Absolutely amazing.

Liked, favorited, put on repeat, playing as loud as I can, disturbing neighbours and commented!!!!!

It never tires me to watch a master showing his mastery.

Tappy Jean was so tasty it ruined my appetite.

Oh my! What in the world did I just watch. Dude played that bass with the same emotion.

This guy NEVER ceases to amaze me WOW! KILLING IT!

This is probably my favorite performance of yours. It highlights your incredible skills and your creativity. This is the kind of performance that I save to a playlist so I can play it often.

I remember Michael could just sing like a bass if he wanted to, in fact, the iconic bass line of Billie jeans was him huming the bass line one day and was like "why not"

Tappy segment was velvet!

That was awesome. Thank you for honoring the GOAT !

Good thing u were sleeping with that bass bro. I think i will start doing it also just to be safe

Best bass player I have ever heard. Way inside he is so precisely elegant and smooth

Well you saved your life, I would have been dead after 3 minutes. Insane skill level.

Insane genius & virtuosity. Never seen or heard anyone/anything anywhere near this level on the bass. Incredible.....& a joy to watch & hear.

only PRO BASSists can cheat death muhaha

That tappy Jean part No.5 was so melodic🎶🎶🎼🎵

That tapping part gave me chills. Super epic !

Dude, you are amazing. Thank you Lord for bringing people like this gent into the world. My life's experience has been enhanced. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to hear this mans music. Reminds me how I felt when I was 14 and the Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan show.

1:46 love this percussive note

I genuinely wonder how many other people on the planet are able to come even close to this. Never seen anything like it, had me laughing out loud. Fantastic.

i had no idea that you could do this with a bass.. I am so glad I found this channel

Based on the fact that Charles is liking every comment, I can assume that he didn’t die after the three minutes were up. Good to know that you’re still with us.

That bridge is among the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard I listened to it over and over incredible!

You guys are INSANELY good. OMG! That was awesome and so great to see you both having so much fun playing. Love it.

The tapped part sounds gorgeous, deeply appreciated

I think a bass cover of "The hall of the mountain king" would be interesting to see 👍

Phenomenal. It looks like magic to me. As far as I can tell, you could be the best bassist on the planet. Is it possible you are an extraterrestrial? Unbelievable stuff. ALSO, those numbered remarks like "Slappy Jean", "Michael Slapson" and "Slapocalypse". Those are funny! All good wishes.

With all those fill-ins I had trouble for your live and can't understand how you stoud so calm.

This is so fun to play along to with drums! Love it

I really love the "hardest song in the world" series! It drives me everytime one step closer to give up on trying to learn to play the bass, but your performances are phaenomenal! I stand in awe! Huge fan here! :)

One of the best performances I've ever seen.

I just love Billie Jean in that slapping thick bass. You're awesome dude.

Шикарно!
