Still swear you are the best bassist I’ve witnessed in my 40 years

[TheDiamondBladeHD]

I agree, funny noise is the hardest technique ever (I unironically don't know how to do it haha)

[MJ-ctkg]

People say they quit when they see someone better than them, but I see it as a goal to reach. If one human can do one thing, another human can learn it.

Charles, this is one of the best uses of a YT short I've ever seen, mate. AND YOU'RE THE GOAT.

[EvaFuji]

That's why we love the bass. I wish more people realized its potential.

[brandon]

Lvl 10 is my favorite sound. I love when you fit it into songs.

[ebuliima]

you are my number one inspiration to keep practicing everyday. i love your style of writing solos.

[cybergeek]

Anyone else stuck at level 3? Jokes aside super cool to see a piece steadily grow and introduce techniques while never loosing the flow and sounding musical.

[brennenconlee]

I think there’s a chance you’re the best bassist currently living

[matty]

Dude, you inspired me to pick up the bass a few months back. I started attempting slap bass but I’m still on level two. Thanks for being such an inspiration!

[jls-qwye]

The bass GOAT in my own honest opinion!!!

[jeroenbeltman]

Send this to your crazy Italian counterpart

[quietdinosaur]

I honestly have no clue why someone wouldn’t want to play bass, it’s sounds amazing

[mitka]

Oh good, you provided the tabs. Let me just grab my bass😂

[bullghani]

Charles you are so talented and i love your mind when ut comes to orchestration every composition is so beautiful creatuve and musical

[bonshnks]

You need to team up with El Estapario Siberiano. You guys would make mind melting music!

[johnabass]

Of all the bassists that are not Italian, he is one of them

[AarDanJoeSutt]

Level 10 got me. Dude, your notes have some great power of persuasion over the emotions in my head. Super happy after hearing you play!

[ItsHeartstruck]

You are single handedly the biggest reason I have seen any interest in the bass. it's such a beautiful instrument and connects with me like nothing else has. Thank you

[joshuadelaughter]

Honestly think you're the greatest bassist of our time.
