Man, and if only he kept up with his old practice regime of practicing 2 minutes per second.

​@@ThetaSimpsonI thought he did an hour a picosecond!

How do you practice 40 hours a day.

@@aniken6877nobody tell him

🙂👍

And it STILL sounds deliciously DIRTY too.

I always bust out the headphones!

He has some clips from live shows hidden here and there... It's still VERY clean.

Well on top of being an excellent player he has literally a perfect bass that's made in Germany that are hand made and therefore the best materials are used and the neck and fret jobs is absolutely masterful. The action is insanely low without any fret buzz and the pick up spacing id perfect the bridge is perfect the tuners are perfect. The neck is thin as absolute fuck. It's literally a perfect bass. Way better than a piece of shit Fodera. Also Charles has some decent sized hands unlike Victor wooten. Ever notice how Victor's playing is dirty and not very clear like Charles almost like he's missing alot of notes espesh when playing fast.. thats partly due to his tiny ass hands. I shook the man's hand once and I was baffled. It honestly gave me hope in life to carry on playing bass lol. Thanks for reading all this but.. the ultimately number one main reason Charles sounds so good and clear is because he's a certified pro and God tier. 100 million hours play time

Slap bass!

Yea, I'm mostly a prog/neo-classical/fusion guitarist, and I really liked that song as soon as it came out.

A chorus of chromatically descending dominant chords? How can it not

Yeah dude, came on randomly at work on the radio one day: I thought some crazy new song came out. Turned out I was just 20 years late on hearing it

I used to say toxic was my guilty pleasure but no, it's just my pleasure.

most of her songs are garbage.... this is just a straight banger! in my rotation

There's a recording of the songwriter doing a demo of it. It only proves your point even more

The music vid was definitely a banger as well. Felt nervous watching it when I was a kid

@@counterfit5 Cathy Dennis, she was a bigger star than Madonna at one point in the 90's

Ey, it's you, you make good drawing tutorials!

You can never have too much funk 😎

@@CharlesBerthoud Toxic was her most technical song, I think.

0.75X for deeeeeeeeeeeep funk

Toxic was written by Prince, so it has funk built into it already

@@CharlesBerthoud always knew that the author of this song, so badass. But now, it will go down in history.

i have played serious guitar for over 40 years and i can't touch Charles

Remember he 'practices 40 hours a day' 😄

Hey man don’t feel too bad this man definitely uses a time turner to get to all his practises

I don't play guitar at all and I can't come close.

I've been playing bass for 1 years and honestly ill probably get to his lvl when im 150 years old 💀

dude you can’t just make me burst into laughter like that in public 😂

Lmgdao 😂

I actually started with Charles and was introduced to Davie504 because of the battle! :)

lol really. she must not be that old

@@marc-etiennemercier6584 Why? Older people can have taste.

My name is mud is the hardest song in the universe?

​@@johnreeser427hi mud is the hardest song in the universe?

This is one of the most complicated Spears' song... I've been trying to convince my band to play this for years lol

Moms are cooler than you know!

That's the power of BASS 😎

Britney is Awsome! Her songs are very complex. Just listen to some of the instruments & all that is going on. Pretty amazing really!

@@CharlesBerthoud oops, you did it again.

crazy? He still has his hair :P

@@ProfessorDeezNutz So does she. That was years ago

I'm begining to second that. Only little thing I got, as a composer, is his choice of progression chords here and there. There are some missed opportunities, but then again he grabs some other intriging solutions the very next second. So I'm not gonna complain... Funk on!! Bravo 😎🎸🤘

He has the sensability and aesthetic. His phrasing choices and amazing technique. He is the top bassist right now for me.

He's not portraying him self as the best I think that's the problem. It's to much of a skit behind the playing. I'm literally blown away an ill agree he's the best

i agree

What abt Ryan Martinie

That's how it looks when anyone plays something they can play. Being able to perform something means being able to play it easily. If it looks like he's struggling then he hasn't practiced enough. This is true for any level of play.

And you make me never want to play again lol

Kiitos!

@@CharlesBerthoud oho en tiennyt että puhut myös suomea :D

@@jannetoropainen9865 vähään 😬

Thanks!

How can you practice 40 hours a day when there isn't even 40 hours in a day but 24 hours 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Haha sure 🤣
