I did A LOT of research this time to make sure that everything was 100% historically accurate in this video...

Great thing about classical music....



No copy right claims!

Bach already was a metal bassist, relative to his era anyways.

I never knew I needed so badly to hear Toccata et Fuga on bass

- "If Bach were a metal bassist" I hope it sounds like Cliff Burton playing -
I was right

Bach: Taps those notes, thinks its fun
This instructor guy: Immediately starts getting seizures

Tbh Bach always sounded metal when i used to study his work for piano class.

Charles, your are definitely one of the best bassists in the world and I always look forward to your videos! I have a feeling that your videos will get better and better as you gain more production experience. 🎸💪🏼

Does your bass pop out for a smoke after you're done with it? Good lord

"I was over at Ludwigs and he was playing that ghastly music"

Johann Bach died 20 years before Ludwig Beethoven was born

Time traveler confirmed.

I really enjoy your classical approaches man! A sure tribute that really does justice, even in metal! Also that tone is so superb man

[hohesc-gangstah]

2:19 love the face of the teacher about the 'funky remix' xD

[Hamuelin]

Beautiful. Some real Daniel Thrasher vibes.

[simon_patterson]

The reveal at 2:51 was a real shock. I would never have guessed! 😁

[Cole-uzxi]

0:45 that bass tone almost made me cry. That is exactly the distorted tone I like. It's not thin and fuzzy, but it also refrains from getting overly raunchy and nasty. It's actually perfect!

Charles if you did a whole album of the classics with your own interpretation on bass. I would definitely buy that 👌

[davekenney]

outstanding control of the instrument and such creativity. Bach would definitely love it.
