"Stairway To Heaven" must be played on discrete and fretted notes. This song should be called "Ramp To Heaven". Great performance!

[HyphenatedReality]

That part with all those harmonics was the most heavenly thing I've ever heard on a bass, pun intended.

[obscurity]

Holy smokes…most people have absolutely no idea how insanely difficult this is. Awesome job, man!

[aaronmcleland]

When the Forbidden Riff is played on bass and sounds this incredible, it's not forbidden anymore. Awesome job Charles. I bet Jimmy would love it.

[schmidington]

If I hadn't just seen it, I would never believe that one guy just played that on a bass guitar. Phenomenal!!

[tfortren]

Those on-fret harmonics from 0:42, incredible. You're amazingly skilled dude

[dumbpig]

The light sound of a fretless bass, your skills, the sounds of the harmonics, all together make masterpiece. You are great!

[vincelupone]

The section at 0:40 sounds like a music box. Really enthralling take on this song.

Charles, I have been a drummer for over 45 years and you are probably the closest thing to a bass playing Eddie Van Halen that I have seen. I just started watching you about a month ago and you are amazing. You're playing is almost like listening to Tommy Emmanuel. So young and so brilliant, can't wait to hear you in another 15 years.

New Music Store Rule: Playing Stairway still forbidden on Guitar, but OK on fretless Bass. Another amazing take! Keep up the good work.

It's been a long time since I've heard Stairway to Heaven played so well. the natural harmonics used here fit so beautifully that they bring me to tears.

[Metalvain]

That harmonic slide-up at 00:44 gives me goosebumps.

[ZXMany]

This is unreal! My first thought was that the vibrato sounds incredible, and then I had goosebumps through the whole song, everything was so great, amazing stuff!

[stitch]

Harmonics alone were breathtaking. That was awesome, Charles.

[MeatPez]

It’s genuinely shocking how in tune you were able to play this, and also very clever how you incorporated those harmonics. God your attention to detail in this rendition is wild.

[DavideCampagnaGiuseppe]

Incredible sound! Some notes seems like they are a synth... Marvelous

[timhamrr]

I'm a huge Zeppelin fan. I'm not gonna go on about how great you are charles you obviously know that. People can say what they want bout stairway but no matter how many times I hear it, it changes my feelskees throughout the song.I'm very sad it wasn't the whole song. Was beautiful. Now I'm left with the void of how the rest of the song would've went. Thnx for keeping the music alive.

[AndrewStottisTheIndiWerWlf]

That anyone can play that instrument so precisely is baffling. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world. I feel like a talentless shell of a human but I still enjoy it.

[echoflame]

It's got this old school video game vibe that I can't help but love. I'm just imagining an 8-bit version of Led Zeppelin right now.

[MetalSniper]

Charles... There's no doubt in my mind you're the best bass player there is today!! What an AMAZING performance! Greetings from México!
