That was both dangerously Funky and dangerously Beethoven-y. Well done, sir!

You're the only content creator that i wish had a sponsor in every single video.

[lasshrugged]

This was too dangerously funky for Beethoven to release back in his day. Nice to see you got a copy of the unreleased score and are sharing it with the world!

[Longplay_Games]

This was *fantastic*.
Now I want to know what Beethoven featuring Santana would have been like.

[NathanDodson]

As a massive fan of Beethoven and also a musician, and I have never, I repeat, NEVER, seen or heard anything as epic and amazing as this. The funk! OMG the funk! George Clinton himself would be blown away by the funk!

[perturbed_pineapple]

Beethoven would have jammed to this for sure!

[danidhukavisekara]

a youtube that can finally make sponsoring interesting. genuinely made me want to watch the entire sponsorship

[axlbear]

I am a starting bassist. I now have played about 4 months. I even did a concert for 50 people. Playing bass was probaly one of the best choisses in my life. You really helpt me make that choise. Your vids are amazing, and I hope other people also will get inspired to play bass. Keep up the good work. Love your vids.🙂

First sponsor spot I've actually watched in full in a long time.
And first one ever I have genuinely enjoyed!

This man's creativity really does know no bounds. . .

I've never had a stank funk face while listening to Beethoven.
Take that one of the bucket list!

I didn't know you could sing, Charles. In my opinion, this is the best part of the video 😂. I'm waiting for your originals with singing! Your voice is beautiful 😊

[bobblake]

Even the ad is brilliant and Beethoven-y. The truly great music translates well to many different styles. Classical music is awesome. Long live Beethoven.

[riosecco]

I LOVE everything about this! Please do more classical music fusion! Maybe even different genres like Opera, rock, jazz, and of course more funkadelic, lol!

[harrycrosswell]

This fire. You know it's going to be a good one when the wig comes out.
Would love more takes on classical songs.
Perhaps turn Chopin into Slapin.

[timalan]

Charles is the best, he can do it all, and the particular bass fits his character and personality nicely.

[Chibihugs]

You ain't got no business making it that funky, sir.🕺🕺I couldn't resist the urge to dance. That was so damn good. I am humbly requesting more classical funk, please!❤

[richardpoole]

My God man. This doesn't even make sense of how good it is. My lord.

[BeardedBeaner]

Thank you for your amazing videos!

I have my kids aged, 3months, 22 months and 3.5 years old, all watching your videos. I want to instilll music in their lives at a young age. My son runs in when he hears your bass.

He and his older sister love to dance to your pieces too. Their youngest literally has her eyes glued to the screen when you are playing.

Again, thank you for everything! I hope they grow up talented just like you! Cannot wait to save up and get their first acoustics!

Much love boss!

[rabbishekelstein]

He's the only youtuber that can make an ad that I actually want to watch. They should be giving you bonus for that one!

Hearing such covers makes me wonder how classical composers and musicians would’ve reacted to their covers and all the different instruments
