If they ever make another Prince of Persia game, this absolutely deserves to be in it.

Might not yet be the most accomplished bassist in terms of album sales or mainstream popularity, but already the greatest bassist of all time in terms of scope, technical skill, and virtuosity in musical composition. I've been deep in music for more than 2 decades both as a musician and a listener, and I sincerely mean what I said.

[courtlaw]

This man bleeds epic solos. I feel as though Charles is on the verge of writing the One bass solo to rule them all.

[Dakan]

Sands of time perfectly encompasses the essence of this beautiful song.

[DanielVerberne]

This is the modern day's evolution of Marcus Miller's "Blast". I mean this in the greatest sense - love the Phyrgian Dominant / Middle Eastern reminiscent mode and tonality. Oh - and incredible, mind-blowing chops. You truly deserve your place in the pantheon, Charles. You've put in the hard yards and you've entertained many of us in the process.

[hoon_sol]

I'm really not joking, this is literally one of the best musicians alive on the planet right now.

[DegonTheMighty]

Last month I passed the 3 year mark of playing Bass every day since I started, and I would never have started without you to inspire me. I've said it many times, but thank you Charles.

[HectorGonzalezC]

He is a worldclass top bassist, He can play any style easily with perfection and huge creativity themes. Amazing.

[MusicandGodlover]

As a guitarist, this is an outstanding piece of music and you'll agree no matter what instruments you're playing

[Jason-Evans]

Using a tremolo on a bass is badass. Using it to pitch shift accent notes & create a middle eastern vibe is genius.

[nathanrazaf]

1:21 I can't stop looping back this tapping part pls help me, that's just too beautiful

[Tingfyhod]

This dude has more talent in his little finger than most musicians have in their entire body, cheers mate!

[joshuamahon]

I am a HUGE fan of the middle eastern desert sound. I am also a HUGE fan of metal.

It is rare for me to hear anything like this, and I am always pleased. Slap-tastic as always my friend. Never stop slapping.

Keep up the good work!

[dejavu]

Ladies and gentleman, this is what happens when an instrument decides to speak by himself/herself.

Doesn't matter it's played by bass or any other instrument.


This is pure music!!

[qikqbn]

Blown away as usual. The dedication and skills developed over 1000's of hours of practice... I am in awe! Thanks for sharing your talents with us!

[Fluffyns]

I have literally listened to “I put a WHAMMY in my BASS and it sounds INCREDIBLE” on repeat for the last few weeks. Thank god it’s on Spotify

[usuarioNordestino]

ESSE É UM DOS MELHORES INSTRUMENTAIS JÁ CRIADOS. PARABÉNS DO BRASIL.

[TheCoolflameboi]

Love how this guy has become what Victor is for him but for new bassists!

[krzysiek]

I get marcus miller vibes from listening to this piece. Great work as always!

[kevinlane]

There are huge gobs of people on YT that spend their lives copying other musicians note for note, beat for beat....It's refreshing that you do your own thing and make your own music
