Original Song: Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson

[CK-ystu]

Just called the cops on this man. It’s too smooth, it’s criminal.

[OmegaFeggy]

You've been tapped by, you've been slapped by, a smooth criminal 🎶

[skarfacegaming]

The fact he’s playing the bass line and the melody at the same time is freaking crazy

[phillipsmusic]

The baseline is so clean it almost sounds like a synth bass. The vocal melody is also incredibly clean 🔥

[SuperDukes]

It’s ridiculous just how clean this guy plays such intricate and beautifully melodic compositions. His playing is mesmerising to the ears and eyes.

[jarneskegge]

You are an inspiration to hear, CB. Hadn't played in 30yrs and picked it back up after seeing you play. Thanks!

[marcod]

Amazing clear tone, not too shiny, not too dark, love it.

[JSMCalder]

That slap is as crisp as any of the sega games in the 90s 👌🏻

[dylankillinkohlstadt]

I can’t stop Listening to this. It brings tears to my eyes. It’s transcendent.

[-leggedcat]

This should be a whole track. And downloadable.

[burtmann]

you all realize this is probably the most musical bassist in the world! long live the king

[dustinshutson]

This is beyond perfection...it's transcendent

[LEOWOLF]

DAYYY-AMMNNN, I've always felt this bass arrangement for M.J.'s song was one of my favorite basslines, EVER. And then you elevated it to a whole new level. Thank you, Sir Berthoud!

[AL-Boogie.]

Most old folk would say dude made the guitar talk.. well if that’s making a guitar talk, he made that guitar give a speech!!!! This dudes finger game(pause) was sick to watch!💪🏿💯💯

[GumbysClay]

Charles in a prime example of education, dedication, and talent combined into performance. This young man has my profound respect and appreciation. Well done, friend!

[SpencerDrummer]

Some of those quick triplet left hand patterns he tosses in for good measure are mental. As a drummer I can spot it and it’s damn clever where he uses it. Mastery! 🫡

[manubishe]

When you want to drum and bass

You drum on bass

[tdknc]

This is definitely his smoothest bass cover. So smooth, it's criminal.

[citizenplane]

Man ive seen so many other amazing bassists but i just think berthoud takes the cake.

[leonidfisherman]

Кто ещё как и я раз десять подряд просмотрел?) Круто!
