This man has single-handedly convinced me to learn bass.

This video made me realize that in string instruments, the electric bass is not just "tuned percussion" but an instrument all to itself. The cello compares to the violin in the same way! Wonderful!

[MinteyXF]

This brings back great memories from og Charles and the old if Billie Jean was the hardest song in the world. What an improvement. The editing is great as always!

Three minutes of Charles being the most gifted bassist I have ever seen. One bassist to another. We're not worthy!

[codygiron]

Charles is unquestionably a virtuoso but what separates him from most of the other flashy guitarists I see here is he’s not just showing off his chops, he is making MUSIC!

[danajohnson]

I’m blown away by how much more depth is in this version of your playing. Your earlier version was amazing, but this is off the charts, it is fun to watch amazing musicians work magic.

[bramvanrens]

This is why bass is a very fundamental but also underrated instrument!

I’ve been watching you since you have around 10K subs and this is my first comment but I cannot let this happen any longer. Every time I see a new video of yours, I’m like “he won’t be able to impress me more than his last video”. Though, you always do.
Seriously congrats on your hard work, this is truly impressive and I sometimes have trouble to realize how much talent you have!
Cheers and keep on slapping that bass Charles!

[MrBaverbo]

Charles, I seriously can’t get enough from you. So inspiring, talented, technical, and musical. I hope your name will be in musical history books for centuries to come.

[GustavoDB]

is not just an astonishing permomance, it's also a giant creativity and arrangements. what a beautiful slap

[estebanquesadas.]

You completely blew it out of the park with this one, this is god level performing and editing, what a marvel !

[rabbubasirul]

The king would've been proud! ❤️❤️🥲

[RCSmiths]

Smooth and musically as always. Love the aesthetic production man, adds so much!

[jamesstewart]

Not only are your presentations brilliant in technique and execution, but also brilliant in production and as an added bonus humorous as well, ie: “remembering to play Billie Jean.” Simply great!

[WaltRBuck]

I've never played bass in my life, but I watched your videos including the one where you discuss your 20ish year bass journey up to now. I picked up a bass for the first time and just started jamming. I then realized I was watching your newest video and living vicariously. Still completely worth it.

[hollandguitars]

You are unbelievable, my favourite modern-day bass player for sure!!!

[thegodofpez]

My man is bringing that deep funk back, full force. 🤟🙏🔥

Wow, and i was gonna ignore this beautiful piece of musical art. So glad i didn't. Again WOW!

[Gianluca.]

Great, Charles! Unattainable! Wonderwul, amazing! Thank you for being here!

[granfabrica]

I cannot tell you how thrilled I am that you haven't been cut from YouTube. We're all on your side Charles!!
