Your 4 string piano is cool and all, but I prefer playing my 88 strings BASS.

[demidevil]

Your skill is out of this world. Holy shit.
The piece you played on the six string where even you said that it was hard... i genuinely think there are less than 1000 people in the entire world who could play that piece as well as you did here.
I've been playing bass for 14 years and I couldn't even scratch the surface there.

I would love to see some kind of story time video where you explain how you managed to become this proficient on bass guitar. Your skill level is FAR beyond most of us.

Greetings from Germany.

Jeeeez. Arranging 4 pieces (and an original riff) for 1 video! A for affort. A+ for execution. I'm curious if it would be more difficult to arrange/learn a single complete piece since there are repeating phrases/themes compared to excerpts of the more iconic parts parts as you've done here. Genuinely curious. Either way, love the content! Great work, as always!

The master of the golden champoulas, Vinheteiro.

Ya did it Charles! Wonderful piano job! Why didn't I sub to this piano channel before!

[Ogsonofgroo]

I subbed you because you are a great player, challenge yourself, and teach too. I've worn my old hands out after over 45 years of hand percussion on my congas (talking drums, still haz the same skins, and still have my old pair from 1975 :) ), and have taken up a guitar in my old age to work through arthritis damage, it is people like you who inspire me, I thank you very much man!

As a pianist who doesn't know how to play stringed instruments, I actually see a bass as 4 pianos (one for each string), since the intervals -- relationship between the keys/frets -- are the same.

3:25 it's like Heaven would sound like

[codinghusky]

I can't fluffing BELIEVE what sound you get out of your bass.
I played bass as a teen and I have up on it and returned to guitar because my Slammer by Hammer copy of Fender Precision sounded like a muted dead elephant farting.
This is HEAVEN.

"My 6-string piano" is a phrase I never thought I'd hear

[kitsvn]

I guess you inspired me to play the “piano”

[presskeytoplay]

Hey Charles, nice to see Lord Vinheteiro in your video, he is one of the best Brazilian musicians youtubers. Another one that is very good is Fabio Lima, master of the acoustic guitar, I recommend his videos playing Rondo alla Turca, Brasileirinho or Top Gear Theme. Now I found it curious how Fur Elise on the 4-string piano (also known as bass) became like Celtic music. Anyway, great video :D

[ItsNylrak]

That Arabesque performance was truly impressive, now I need to hear the whole thing on the 6 string piano

[CiceroMonteiro]

I am convinced that Charles is one of the best bass players in the world

[Lucas.Blevins]

Man hearing the difference between how Vinheretio and Charles Cornell play the Maple Leaf Rag is mind boggling...Jazz phrasing is so effective...

[kratos]

Nobody:

Classical musicians: HE LEARNT IT BY EAR! CALL 911

[lefrei]

Still no answer from Davie but a New video from Charles Berthoud, NOICE :)

[SheetsMusic]

As a pianist, I approve... This is sick!

[kevinb]

You, my friend, are otherworldly in your talent! I am dazzled at your musical mastery! The bass is so expressive in the right hands.

[alanzfirecaster]

Loved it!!! Charles you made me cry again!

Please continue making these piano covers.
Some guys said "Satie", that would be great.
But I also like your metal covers, so please, gift us some piano, and metal for Christmas.

YOU ARE GREAT!
