It's impressive that you also managed to incorporate the 6-string short scale piccolo bass into this song, considering it's such a niche instrument

Charles, you have the youngest fan ever! He’s watching you since 4 months old. I have filmed him being happy watching your videos. This is how we discovered you, thanks to him - your little fan

Whilst your technical ability is incredible, it's your arrangement and composition skills that really make each one of these. Epic work.

I want to hear Charles score a movie. The backing tracks are always so good.

Charles! Love these Fretless transformations of these songs. ♥️

omg the solo brake down is sooooooo sentimental. I love the fact that you encorperated other instruments too 🙂

Today we get to see an ACOUSTIC six string short scale piccolo bass!

I love this channel

Love it, Charles! Glad, you've picked one of the non-broken basses that you own, this time.

I'm absolutely in love with this piece! This deserves way more attention! Thanks for this masterpiece Charles :D

Your motivational playing is a freaking mazin,thank you.

Hauntingly Beautiful is the perfect description for that!

Haven't seen your content in a while and was very impressed with the various instruments you incorporated into this one. Great work continuing to hone your craft 👍

I could never play fretless like Charles is. Great job!

Stunning! Excellent work.

Been waiting for this tbh bro

Charles, it's so great that you picked up this Davie's task as a bass pro and then fought him and now you almost 2 mil subs - amazing! :)

Really highlights and contrasts the moods that the song produces, a wonderful rendition that both adds to my perspective of the original, yet is also something almost entirely new

Absolutely insanely incredible. Well done!

omg this is literally one of my favorite bands, thank you for making your own twist on this song

Excellent arrangement and execution, Charles! Beautiful!

Truly beautiful. One of my favorites you've done, for sure

Freaking amazing cover! I would love to see more like this

It’s amazing that that even works

I loved the style of the editing in this one, showing some alternate tracks being played.

Amazingly beautiful. What incredible vision you have creating this masterpiece one part at a time!

Dude, that was nuts!!!

Thanks for sharing this with us!

Wow New version of this amazing song... awesome And your improvement, musicality and general feel of song is still blow my mind! Absolutely kill it, Charles! Thank you!

Damn that was freaking incredible!!

Charles is breaking the internets with music.

Some of these videos were my first introduction to fretless bass and now I own one

Sickest Bass I ever saw .... very nice❤

excellent arrangement of californication. enjoyed it, thank you.

what a pleasure to watch and listen to your genius performances. God bless you

Wow, Charles! Your rendition of 'Californication' on fretless bass is absolutely mesmerizing. The hauntingly beautiful tones you bring out are truly inspiring. As someone who's been playing bass for just 2 months, your videos have been a huge source of motivation for me. Keep up the amazing work! Your music makes a difference. ✨

Sounds truly awesome!

Charles, please play "e-bow on fretless bass sounds UNREAL" at the European concert and play extra long. Agree give a like.

Only can say wow

nice de nice you ve sublimated the tune when the technical potential gives you acces to exelency well done Mister you realy play the bhes

Oh this is STUNNING, Charles.

Holy shit, that was absolutely astounding. Never thought that solo could sound so good.

THATS A GUITAR! Amazing.

Charles's Incredible Orchestra🎶🤩

Sounding great, also thanks a bunch for the tapping book, already getting great results and thinking of posting my progression

Sounds so much more ethereal than expected! Fantastic

absolutely magnificent charles!!

I remember saying in the previous Californian video that the beginning was soothing and almost haunting. I immediately clicked on this video as soon as i saw the title. This was outstanding to say the least!

Dear sir, may I suggest you give a go at Armas Jarnefelt's 'Berceuse'. I find Risto Vuolanne's version on double bass you can find here on YT highly expressive, but I'm sure your would be my favourite!!!! It's such a short piece, highly packed with emotions, just the right format for you! All the best from Croatia!

Beautiful ~ I was enjoying your music with my dinner ~ until the commercial 😊

With that Chorus effect on the bass, it has a very Peter Steele/Type O Negative tone to it. I always dug his Chorus/Delay/Distortion rig for his bass.

Dare I say this is your best work yet?

Wonderful cover❤️

Loved this! Any chance of any video game music covers? An all base version of Still More Fighting/Those Who Fight Further would be AMAZING!

you're incredible, and it hurts me to say that to an english. A french fan 😜 You don't stop.

This is another great mix.

Excellent video Brother

Wow, that was beautiful! ❤

Could you try wherever I may roam on a fretless bass?

Amazing as always Charles

Dude it's just Amazing

Could you please make a video that shows just you playing with one hand (your fretting hand)? And can you please demonstrate the same techniques that you use for playing with one hand?

Wow you made this song sound epic! Not a RHCP fan but this is awesome 😮

Fretless bass are awesome

Hauntingly beautiful.

As usual, that was fantastic Charles! 🙂🙂🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠

that was insane!!!!

Просто божественно придумано и исполнено 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

That intro had some definite Twin Peaks theme vibes. Love it!

So so good

What a TALENT.🥰👍👍🇩🇰🇩🇰

holy shit that's a crisp sounding bass!!!

Yeah, that was delightful ❤❤❤❤

Felt toooo deeeeeeeep 🤯

Awesome Charles 👌

You are so talented man! What a beautiful version! You have very good taste picking the resources to make music!

Next up, power on fretless bass sounds hauntingly beautiful

whoah! this was great!

Sounds great

One of my favorite song by my favorite group ! impossible to do bett... WOW

Very nice man

Hauntingly beautiful for sure.

It’s because you can express more of a vocal like sound on the fretless. And you have a phenomenal ear to create the voicings you do. It’s mostly because of your technique on fretless. Making it like a cello…in a sense…with a nice accompaniment on piano and guitar. It’s because of your work that you are able to create this beautiful rendition of one of the best “pop” 🤢 songs in the last 50 years. It’s not pop. “Rock” the RHCP are a category of their own with John Frusciante. And we can thank Hillel Slovak for The majority of the style John played in the 80s. RIP Hillel ❤ every member of the group are fantastic musicians. I don’t care what ppl say about Anthony Keidis’ tone. He’s one of the greatest poets of the 20th and 21st centuries. I haven’t listened to the RHCP in 7 + years bc stadium Arcadium and the albums, sans One Hot minute, are a plethora of interesting song arrangements, much better than say the Beatles or Rolling Stones. But that’s because these guys studied the Beatles writing in depth(which was usually truly great) and made even better songs bc they also studied Hendrix and a ton of different musicians going back to miles Davis and further. So yea, good choice and great arrangement, even better execution of the vocal parts ❤❤

lead bass playing can't believe this!!!

🔥🔥🔥

Heaven has a bass guitar

Chills

That just so good. Well done.

I don't know why, but the fretless bass and the piano chords made it sound like a peter gabriel song, and that's a very good thing...

Do a collab with 'three fall' from the cologne region. They covered RHCP in a minimalistic brass style.

man your way more awesome when you quadruple yourself, more of those please. Amazing as always.

When is this being added to spotify? Just wanna put it on repeat for a while

so good

GENIUS! REALLY! BRAVO 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 BRAVÍSSIMO 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

Professor Charles does it again

Testament to an awsome piece of music

Parabéns! Você toca muito! 🎸

うおー、大作！ 感動した！！

The intro sounds like a Twin Peaks theme 😊
