Aight that ascend on bass was actually dope as hell

Who here cares about a bass solo? 🔥

2:07 this whole idea of holding the chord with the rhythm is beautiful. Such a unique sound, I’ve never heard it before.

Hi Charles... Im from Germany and there is a bass Builder named Gerald Marleaux in my town and he actually built a fretless half acoustic Bass in the shape of a violin... Perhaps you should play that to settle the fight with two set 😂

Twoset: we have an army! Davie: we have a Charles.

*_We weren't expecting special forces_*

Did anyone realize that Charles has taken over the role of Triple-Camera Guy?

Let's be real guys, we all know the triangle is the best instrument

Charles and Davie used to be rivals, but when the BASS is insulted, an alliance must be done.

Avengers: we have a hulk. Bass fans: we have a Charles.

I am so glad to see youtubers that fight eachother playing insane instrument solos. This is totally not a waste of time to watch these videos, like many other youtubers that only say crap on their videos. Thank you Charles, Davie and The Dooo for these videos. You are motivating so many people to play instruments

Herman Li said this was sick. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. :D

I love how this guy is like Davie's rival in bass but now they are allies. Holllyy sheeeet

When they said there will be World War 3 in 2020, I didn't imagine that this way... :D

I've listened to this over 100 times over the months, its so well done. The tapping and harmony of the the lower tones mixed with the speed of the melody is amazing.

You deserve to have about 200x as many followers as you do, Charles. You're probably one of the best bass players I have ever watched.

Davies most powerful rival just became his most powerful ally. 😏

After watching this Herman Li be like “This is cool, but can you play it under water”

TwoSetViolin: We have got an army Charles: Here is One Man Army...!

"Nobody cares about a bass solo" Flea: *incomprehensible jibberish*

Man, that escalated quickly. 100 years later children in school will be taught of the great bass wars of 2020.

Playing the difficulty that is Through the Fire and Flames for a Bass Solo, you know Charles is going to unleash! Amazing, and so technically talented as always.

I love how the intensity rises with the metal drums in the background.

You nailed the caprice no5 tempo scale , amazing!! keep it up friend.

I love how instead of just roasting the others, he just defended bass with really impressive playing

DAAAAMNNNN!!! CHARLES STRAIGHT UP GANDALF'ED AND SAID "ON THE DAWN OF THE THIRD DAY, LOOK TO THE EAST" Charles The Mage, ladies and gentlemen!

The ultimate Bass vs Guitar battle: Davie and Charles vs Herman Li and The Doo

Herman: No one cares about bass solo Cliff Burton: Am I a joke to you.. Edit: thx for the likes! And im so glad that no one fighting at the replies lmao

then: SLAPP vs TAPP now: BASS vs ALL OTHER INSTRUMENTS

Why BASS is the best instrument: You hear the violin You hear the guitar You FEEL the bass

literally got chills at 2:18

I am blown away by this solo. I will add more to this message whenever my hands come back together with the rest of my body.

He protecc He attacc But most importantly He brings peace bacc

Davie504: at war with other KZfaq musicians. CharlesBerthoud: It's free real estate!

I mean the tapping part in the through the fire and tap was so smooth and it felt like Charles was enjoying so much Epic job

Bro. I'd say you've pretty well mastered the instrument. Your very good. VERY good. Hats off to you my good Sir. I've seen quite a few of your videos and your spot on. I enjoy listening to your playing. God bless 🙏

Dude, this guy is so underrated, he counts as an ally and a half for Davie504

"No one cares about bass solo" Actual amazing bass players all around the world: BASS LIVES MATTERS

This is awesome I can't stop listening to it.

OMG . Mind Blown, Epic Victory, Congrats.

Twoset; "We've got a Dragonforce." Davie; "We've got a Hulk."

Davie and Charles back then: ENEMIES Davie and Charles now: The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Fun fact : that ring on his pinky is his secret power.

Hillary Hahn is clearly Two Sets most idolised violinist

This “war” is the musical version of WWE but it’s more fun, entertaining and also educational! Bravo to all our favorite musicians involved.

Charles: *joining basses against the evil* Everyone else: 'Wise Choice'

I feel charles has unlocked the true potential of the bass and making us all discover it's sweet sweet sounds. Its has literally risen from the depths of hell to perhaps be on top 3 favorite instruments list.

I knew you were beyond good enough to play, Through the Fire and Flames! Rock on Charles!

Charles is literally the anime character that's the enemy at first but becomes the friend and davie is the protagonist

Let's get him to collab with Davie504 for the ultimate BASS battle against non bassists

Charles! You make me smile

Gotta say I love the contrast between Charles' more harmonic style and Davie's funky style. Bass is the best.

at this rate, we're gonna end up with Avenger version of YT musicians.

As a guitarist, here are my thoughts on the matter: 1. It is easier to be a serviceable bassist than to be a serviceable guitarist, but to be an expert bassist is a whole different world from being an expert guitarist. 2. A good guitarist has a lot to do with how a band is perceived, but a good bassist has an overwhelming amount of control over how the rest of the band sounds. Guitar may have a lot of importance, and it may have a lot of flair, but the bass has all the power.

Herman lee reacted to this and said your bass playing is too good and your too handsome to be an internet troll 😂😂😂 facts tho

I was gobsmacked by that performance. You made all bass players & bass lovers proud!

Davie: “I never thought I’d die side by side with a tapper.” Charles: “How about side by side with a friend?” Davie: “Epico, that much I can do, but only if you SLAPP LIKE NOW!!”

Your technique, speed and clean notes are absolutely gorgeous. People who don't play an instrument, can't understand how hard you should be working on this, and how talented you are. I've been following you since the beginning (with David hiring you on Fiver XD) but you still making videos that give me goosebumps! Thanks and sincerely congrats

2:06 mind blowing

you are a monster in the bass my friend and you have you taught them to respect the bass their lives will not be the same after this demonstration of bass power

The used-to-be greatest enemy is now the strongest comrade.

Davie: Many youtubers are attacking me. Charles: Step aside, Bro, take cover behind me. I got this.

You've ascended through the fire and the tapanini, glorious

Every time I watch you play I just think of all the things I could have done that are actually viable in life. Like mastering an instrument, drawing anything like that. You inspire me to just go and start doing one of those things.

That moment when the king of tap becomes a playable character in the war of music!!!

I never thought that watching Twoset for music memes would send me down an infinite rabbit hole of amazing musicians on KZfaq over the past year, but here I am watching everything from rubber chickens to bass. Your badass bass playing has made my day, and I am watching this 'war' with great interest

That was absolutely freaking AWESOME RESPECT!

APPROVED XD loved it!

Herman li: "No one cares about a bass solo." *Les claypool would like to have a word with you*

Can we just appreciate the fact that Charles backfired all of them at the same time? Absolute chad

That fire and flames section was great.. And it was very soothing to listen...

I'm a violinist and I love this.

This "instrument war" is the only thing that keeps me sane during this quarantine

We need Ichika Nito, Quadruple Camera guy, Zander, Cheapest Bass guy, 69 guy, Sujong park, and all the other bassist (Or guitarist) To team up and defeat these evil forces trying to destroy *BASS*

One word... Amazing!

My head exploded... and contrary to popular belief i needed that. Do it again:)

Herman Li, Twoset and the Doo: You cannot defeat us. Davie504: I know, but he can

I'm a Long time Davie fan, and subscribing to Charles from the first video after the very first fiverr challenge. Here's my thought Davie is great, way beyond average bass player. He has a longevity meme niche and adapting style for youtube, thats why I still enjoy his contents till now very much to this day. But I have to say, no disrespect to Davie, Charles is CRAZY above anyone in term of skill-wise. I always laugh on Davie content, but Charles jawdropped me 80% of the times he played. Davie is like 95/100 for me, yet his niche and style only allows him to play at 80-85 in most contents. You'll only see him go all out on bass battle or serious challenge (still jawdropped me every here and there), which is scarce nowadays between his meme contents. But Charles always 100/100 almost every content. The top of it he's very originally funny without mirroring davie or other youtubers. His classical background is jawdroping and very funny at the same time. I know mostly youtubers don't respond on this kind of comparison comment. But I know Charles would notice... I'm watching you BOTH, and I'm a GUITARIST. That's just how great you both are

Beyond amazing!

Wow, love that you took a chorale approach to the DragonForce chorus.

OMG EMERGENCY IS REAL... REINFORCEMENTS ARRIVED

"A band is a drummer, a bassist, and assorted novelty acts." - Nick Mason

I'm not a bass player. I play guitar and drums, but I've always loved a good bass line, especially as a drummer. This was beauty to my ears. Bravo sir

Amazing work, young man.

Charles: defends Davie Everyone liked that*

Charles: Paganini, twoset’s most idolized violinist. Ling Ling: Am I a joke to you?

Came across this because of Herman Li's channel. This is amazing!!!!

All this War going on between those great youtubers and im sitting here with symphonic metal as one of my favourite music genres that brings all those three instruments together :3 I really really hope this war jsut ends in an epic 5 man collab song of pure awesomeness!

The bass was insulted...... Bass gods : SUMMON THE KRAKEN (Charles Berthoud joins the war) Épico

TheDooo, Herman Li and TwoSet vs Davie504 and Charles Berthoud We are so lucky to have this during these troubled times... Wait a min-

Now they will be regreat .love you man .you are great.🤩💙

It would be epic a Tapping battle solo from Charles vs The Dooo both are two handed tapping monsters at their instruments!

I may be a guitarist, but that doesn’t mean I’m leaving the Bassist’s side. Repairing my bass is now my #1 priority.

With the power of Davie's HOLY SLAPP and Charles' HOLY TAPP, we can overcome any enemy!

Dude. That was MIND BLOWING. Literally, when you were slapping your whole body was moving. Down with guitar and violin.

You're taping is just beautiful

I love how music community on KZfaq expands day by day. And proud of Davie504 for that. He obviously opened a new door for this kind of creators.

Killing it bro! Awesome work! 💪💪

Subscribed just because that was amazing!

That was incredible mate 👏 Be proud 🤟
