I think it's YOU, Charles, that makes it sound breathtaking!

[awol]

This guy is honestly one of the best bass players on the planet. The talent is unimaginable for us mere mortals.

[SamHintz]

Love how you didn’t do anything gimmicky or obnoxious with the whammy bar and incorporated it into the song so cleverly. I usually don’t think of whammy bars as being so serene and beautiful like this but you made it work, man.

[HarmonicKeys]

Bro that was so beautiful you always surprise me with your vids so creative❤️❤️🔥🔥

[r.d.]

What the heck man. You're an alien. I mean that in the most complimenting fashion. You're so very impressive and your composition is flawless.

[titaniumdenight]

I've honestly missed these longer originals and this one sounded phenominal!

[joenorsworthy]

It's very cool to see artists experiment. Lovely piece.

[eliascorrea]

I get this feeling that out of the many ways you could have gone with this piece the choices you made were just right. Everything is where it should be, yet you weaved in complexity in a seemless way. This is really good composition.

[GazAce]

I don’t know if I’m watching a bass player, guitarist, pianist or a harp player. This guy is on a another level completely man.

[brownwarrior]

I always used to think that bass players were simply failed guitarists but you’ve totally destroyed that myth Charles.
Breathtaking stuff every upload.

[JohnMichaelOsbourne]

Not all the bards of the middle earth together could've composed and played such a beautiful and harmonic song. Cheers to you, Charles!

[BobMcMac]

Beside the fact that this is obviously on a very advanced and professional level, speaking of technicality and musicianship, it is also simply an emotional and beautiful song, that really speaks to me.

[Nickdeaugustine]

This isn't just another YouTube video... This is a musical masterpiece!

[zetzo]

1:40 that transition was amazing. this song rocks

[CJake]

As I'm sitting here watching your skill I'm thinking, "I bet he'd be great at piano." Seconds later there you are. Absolutely stunning composition and execution

[NedJeffery]

1:20 That subtle little flutter there was amazing!

[nathanlott]

So amazing to hear you play piano in this, you’re amazing at it as well and I’d love to see more of your piano mixed with the bass like this in the future!

[futuresequence.]

This might be my favourite song you have played. Brilliant work. I love these longer pieces.

[sammcgrail]

I found myself smiling and laughing out loud at how beautiful this arrangement was

[joshsanderson]

Omg adding the keys was such an awesome touch!! Love it!
