That expression of bass happiness on your face while listening to him... that's what we all do when we listen to you.

Vincen Garcia is from my home town (Valencia) and I saw him and his band play live just two days ago. It was a stunning concert, and their musicianship is even more impressive live!

You spend so much time melting our faces, it's great to be shown what melts yours.

Vincen is such a great player! Had the pleasure of seeing him live in august and was absolutely blown away!

Charles' explanations on bass videos are astonishing. Not only he manages to play solos note by note, but he dissects musically those intrincate parts, making them accesible to everyone...the best possible teacher.

[nathanieldrover]

I've been watching Charles long enough to know that the answer to the question "Can he play...?" is always yes.

[jvomkrieg]

I love that you pointed out the drummer, he's the perfect complement to the bass playing, what a stunning pair.

Dude's timing is insane. While I really love getting to watch people like you on youtube, it's really easy to forget that there are SOOO many incredible musicians out there. It's also always really cool when someone who really knows what they're talking about appreciate the work of someone else and breaks it down for us normal folks. Thanks for sharing!

One of my favourite two bass players breaking down the other and giving some love. Huge respect to both! You guys are the leading players of the day, pleased to say I’ve seen one live, and the other one soon!

Vincent Garcia is also the guy that got called by Cory Wong to replace his usual bassist that could not come on tour in Europe, learns 30 songs in 2 days and does the whole tour with Cory's band like if he was always part of it...

[josephgeimer]

I loooove it when great musicians appreciate other great musicians. Just proved to me that you really are world class! 😊

[bflippsytrance]

The percussive notes have a natural sustain gate to them just by the way he's playing it showing a lot of consistent control on very high speeds. The way it just flows and rolls in the solo is very satisfying, indeed both musical and technical, thanks for sharing and breaking it down!

Very nice breakdown and two amazing bass players. I like this format.

[carhurmore]

Nothing short of incredible! Definitely interested in more analytical videos like this. Being able to break down riffs like that isn't the easiest to consolidate in your head when you're hearing it for the first time.

Since the day I found Vincen Garcia on the internet, he is my favourite bassist 🔥🔥🔥! He sounds like he is from another planet. Damn!!! and good job with the video. You nailed it too 👏👏👏

[SpinAroundU]

Thank you very much for introducing Vincen Garcia to me, as well as for the breakdown!

[Rood]

Charles, you are an amazing musician! When you do these types of videos, they show what an awesome human being you are as well. You’re spotlighting another musician, and the breakdown of what they are doing is fantastic.

Please, please do more of these!!!

Hey Charles this video was so good. To say I enjoyed this is an understatement. Thank you for exposing Vincen to the bass community. He is so unbelievably talented. I really enjoyed how you broke down the song and explained the parts so thorough and so good. My favorite part of the video was when you played the part slowed down. You still played it so funky and in the pocket, you made it musical even though it was slower (a lot of people when playing slow treat it as checking a box). This is also a testament to Vincen's compositional skills, no matter what tempo it is that line and song are still freaking fantastic.

[DAJaVueProductions]

✔️ Yes please. Include more break-down + explanation videos!

Gratitude for your hard work & spirit of encouragement. 🙏
