I've played guitar, principally, for over 39 years and yes, the world needs more bass and has been suffering quite extensively during my lifetime. I am so glad for players such as yourself and Dave504. You've been helping the world, as well as my family and I thank you!

My favourite part was when Charles played the bass.

I'm 48, no musical background, I struggle with mild PTSD, excessive TBI, blast over pressure, concussive events...etc, etc, etc... symptoms from almost 20 yrs of military service....had a brush with music therapy in a TBI clinic to help me progress....always wanted to learn how to play the Bass Guitar, Primus, RHCP (FLEE) and funky Jazz lines hit me. I have found a new outlet and you sir, are an inspiration. Love watching all of your content...now I just need to buy a decent Bass. My son plays (regular) guitar and cant wait to surprise him at some point with a funky bass line one day while he is practicing. Keep CRUSHING it! Love watching the finger work you have!!!

Vic Wooten was with Bela Fleck at the first 'BayFest' in Mobile, AL, in 1995. I was right in front of the 1 ft. tall 'stage', about 3 ft. from Vic, and was AMAZED for their whole set!

I've had 50+ years playing bass but can't get near you ever especially your speed... BRAVO is not enough ...you are one of the few top bassists 🎸🎶

Charles plays a funky bass solo
Me: This is therapeutic

[grizelda]

Awesome to feature Ida! One of my favorite funk masters, I don’t think she gets enough recognition.

[nigel]

As a musician myself, I can certainly appreciate the skill of great players like these… but I also temper it with the realization that most of the greatest songs ever composed were relatively simple. Food for thought… 👍🏻

[MightyFineMan]

The Davie504 solo you did was so incomprehensibly clean. But with all the solos, the longer I think about your technique the more impressive it gets

[definetelynothere]

Without Davie, not many people would know who charles is- mad respect for these 2 youtube legends

[speedyplays]

I didn't use to pay any attention to the bass, but then I found your videos and I've been binge-watching ever since. You are so good at what you do and now I am even considering learning the bass. Keep up the great content!

[micahturner]

Really cool of you to showcase the little guys like Davie504. Your an honorable chap. 👍🏻

[hussierdaadi]

It's amazing what a great musician can do with their instrument. So cool funky slap bass. Love it

[jaroslavkohout]

I liked the last one ... Nice surprising harmonies ... :) ...

Charles trying to be Wooten 10 years ago is still a lot better than me trying to be Wooten 100 years later in the future

[grantmorgan]

Hats off in admiration for the innovators playing their unique styles and expanding the world of bass, but I'm always blown away at how Charles seems to play a clearer, cleaner version. Charles, you are a monster talent and a pioneer the instrument of BASS. Eleven out of ten from me.

[Paxmax]

This amount of bass funk in one video is a fire hazard. Well handled.

[brightsee]

Posting videos of him 10 years ago, just to prove he is not an alien from planet BASS !! GOAT

[robertforgaci]

my fav part is the final.. 10 years ago playin like victor.. you did improve a lot.. even if you were a beast already
no matter how good we think we are.. we have always room for growth
keep growin beautiful people, never stop practising

[dropsnooze]

Holy shit, your version of I can't hold no groove has blown me away. It really caught me and I felt it could go on vor ever. Absolut remarkable job. Outstanding Sir, outstanding
