If FEEL GOOD INC. Was The Hardest Song In The World

If Feel Good Inc. was the hardest song in the world, it would probably be a funky bass solo!

This wants me to finally start playing the tea bag.

I love how playing slap is considered more difficult than cloning yourself

Bass is the soul of the music, without it there’s no sauce involved

[Matthew_Klepadlo]

As a guitarist, I will say the forbidden words: "Bass is actually kinda cool."

[dankymatters]

I think the most underrated part of his talent is just how incredible of a composer he is. Don't let his immaculate technique and performance skills overshadow the fact that this man is taking other people's music and using it as a blueprint to then create new works of music that raise it to higher levels of technique composition and emotional depths than where it started. It's amazing.

This man's wisdom at not overcomplicating the BASSMILL section even though these types of videos are supposed to get more complicated as they go is *sublime.* A wise man knows he cannot improve upon perfection, and that any attempt to do so will only detract from it.

I like how it says "every sound you hear is bass" and then Charles speaks, just confirming he's one with bass

[patalbor]

This song started as Feel Good inc and transcended into some sort of next level track that reminded me of the weather channel for some reason. I am confused yet pleased. Great job!

"What instrument do you play?"
"Oh... me? I play instrument."
"Yeah, but which instrument is that?"
"It makes music."
"Okay... what sound does it make?"
"... ALL OF THEM!"

00:55 I swear this is one of the most chill, peaceful and feel good melodies I've heard in popular music :x So, sooo good, I like to watch this video over and over again because of this part. And because of Charles's skill, but this is no surprise.

"Every sound you hear is BASS."
*cuts to Charles talking*
I KNEW IT! He's just a bass in disguise!

[jazzyjt]

The most impressive part of this video is when he is doing the sponsor ship while playing music

[RandallHammer]

There's literally NO ONE on YouTube that does ads this cool.

[andririki]

This "Feel Good Inc." becomes "Feel Great Inc."

[pyro-millie]

God I love this arrangement. It sounds difficult to play, but it keeps the sound super chill instead of just being all over the place like most “impossible” covers are. That, in my mind, shows true mastery of your craft! I’d love to put this on my spotify playlists!!

[flutechannel]

Slapnado, god I love that part a bit too much

[pierremollet]

You and Davie504 realy makes the bass look like one of the most versatile instruments. This level of deception requires an incredible level at playing. Love your songs!

I have been a marketing rep for an amplifier business for around 2 years now, and it is becoming very clear to me the real musicians have all but abandoned the mainstream, and have gone entirely independent.

I am glad to have discovered you, among folks like Too Many Zooz, Tim Pierce Guitar, Davey504, and many others who are actually passing the love down to future generations, mostly for the sake of quality music and entertainment.

"everything you hear is bass"
So you're telling me that tea is a bass

[howardstark]

Less than 15 seconds in, and the wig has won me over.
