I asked ChatGPT to write an IMPOSSIBLE bass solo and it sounds INSANE 

Funny thing is chatgpt didn't write jack squat, it just described a scene. You, on the other hand, wrote a great piece once again. Great job, m8!

If that's how you fail, I don't know if I want to see if you'd succeed haha. Really interesting and intricate use of the AI, and as always great performing man!

I’m glad chat GPT didn’t ask you to use your foot first before you bite the strings 😂. But seriously, crazy playing there. Thanks for sharing good music to the world 😊

Holy shit. This is some surreally elite bass playing. Very few select musicians can play this well, that's for sure. Absolutely insane.

I asked ChatGPT this: "Is Charles Berthoud possible?" and it answered "Assuming you're referring to the musician Charles Berthoud, then yes, he is a real person and it is possible for him to exist. Charles Berthoud is a British musician and bassist who is known for his virtuosic playing style and unique approach to the bass guitar. He has released several albums and has gained a following for his innovative use of the instrument."

I used to be a bass player - I couldn't even dream back then of skills like this. I'm always speechless.

You did it and did it even better than A.I. could describe. Amazing bass solo and talent.

🤯 my head just exploded after that performance... amazing performance Charles 😄

The overall solo was brutally technical and melodic and well written as always but damn that jazzy part sounded surreal! More of that please !!!

Obviously made possible by the green strings. Bravo once again!

I don’t know if this is an impossible solo, because you did it. But certainly the most amazing of your creations, and that is much to say CONGRATS MAN….!

Very nice composition Charles. Well done !

I don't play bass, but I've been watching your videos since Davie especially during the pandemic. You sir are the best bass player I've ever seen. Just amazing how you make it look so easy yet the music sounds like a masterpiece.

I wouldn't say it's an impossible solo. I just saw someone playing it. But on top of being impressive and fun to see, the melody itself was very pleasant to listen, especially when several lines were played at the same time. I'd love you to compose pieces like this one more often!

Loved the editing and awesome job!

I swear your skills are the definition of perfection when it comes to bass. As usual another amazing solo

Not gonna lie Charles, the sheer force of that sound lifted me off of my feet, and as usual I am in a state of awe and wonder at the impossibility of what you play. Have a great one man!

It would be really cool if you did a Hey Ya cover. The shake it part would be a slapopachalypse and stuff like that

That was friggin amazing!! Absolutely nailed it. Wow!

Your talent; creativeness; technique and sense of humour are far beyond one can imagine possible until being aware of your videos! Amazing! Brilliant! Greetings from Brazil! 🇧🇷

I bloody loved the bit with harmonics, the teeth and the feet. In my opinion it's one of the main reasons this solo stands out.

That AI response was creepily reminiscent to your own scripts. I think you have a fan, Charles, lol. Only way it could have done better is by giving you the impossible sheet music. Also you did pretty well too 😂

This is honestly one of my favorite videos of all time. From the absolutely spot on humor, to some of the most impressive bass playing I've ever seen. This is a 20/10 video.

This was beautiful, I love the creativity you used to full fill the demands! Great job

I love how sneakily you integrated a strongly"The Dance of Eternity"- inspired part in this video. It souns very different and yet it is insanlely obvious if you know the song well!

I honestly didn't expect you to do the teeth and feet parts but you did them amazingly well along with the other parts of the solo. Bravo!

You absolutely nailed it. So much fun every time you're video's play.

That was a great interpretation of what ChatGPT will create based off of an ambiguous prompt and allowing it to interpret, but if you give it a little push in a direction such as "Can you compose an impossible bass solo? What is the toughest bass solo you can compose? This will be used as a test of skill at a bass contest." It gives you something else: such as "Composing an "impossible" bass solo can be interpreted in many ways. It might mean using techniques that are extremely difficult to master, playing at high speed, or incorporating complex rhythms and scales. However, keep in mind that what's possible for one musician might be impossible for another, and vice versa. Here's a challenging bass solo, written in tablature, that uses a variety of techniques including tapping, slap/pop, and fast fingerstyle playing: E|---------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------| G|-----------------5h7p5---------------------5h7p5---------|-----------------5h7p5---------------------5h7p5-------------| D|-----------5h7--------7-----------5h7----------7---------|-----------5h7--------7-----------5h7----------7-------------| A|------5h7----------------7---5h7---------------7---------|------5h7----------------7---5h7---------------7-------------| E|--5h7----------------------------------------------------|--5h7--------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------| G|-----------------7h9p7---------------------7h9p7---------|-----------------7h9p7---------------------7h9p7-------------| D|-----------7h9--------9-----------7h9----------9---------|-----------7h9--------9-----------7h9----------9-------------| A|------7h9----------------9---7h9---------------9---------|------7h9----------------9---7h9---------------9-------------| E|--7h9----------------------------------------------------|--7h9--------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------| G|-----------------9h11p9---------------------9h11p9-------|-----------------9h11p9---------------------9h11p9-----------| D|-----------9h11-------11-----------9h11---------11-------|-----------9h11-------11-----------9h11---------11-----------| A|------9h11----------------11---9h11--------------11------|------9h11----------------11---9h11--------------11----------| E|--9h11---------------------------------------------------|--9h11-------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------| G|-----------------11h13p11---------------------11h13p11---|-----------------11h13p11---------------------11h13p11-------| D|-----------11h13--------13-----------11h13---------13----|-----------11h13--------13-----------11h13---------13--------| A|------11h13----------------13---11h13--------------13----|------11h13----------------13---11h13--------------13--------| E|--11h13--------------------------------------------------|--11h13------------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------7h9p7---------------------------|-------------------------7h9p7-------------------------------| B|-------------------7h9--------9---------------------------|-------------------7h9--------9-----------------------------| G|---------------7h9--------------9-------------------------|---------------7h9--------------9---------------------------| D|-----------7h9------------------9-------------------------|-----------7h9------------------9---------------------------| A|-------7h9----------------------9-------------------------|-------7h9----------------------9---------------------------| E|---7h9---------------------------------------------------|---7h9-----------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------| G|-----------------9h11p9---------------------9h11p9-------|-----------------9h11p9---------------------9h11p9-----------| D| I have no idea how to play this but this is what ChatGPT gave me with your idea. Please tag me if you decide to play it, I would love to hear what it came up with.

I say you succeeded. Anyone willing to go to such lengths play and pulls it off so well is winner.

GPT just learned a monumental lesson. Next video tell him you nailed his impossible bass solo and let's see what he's up to 😂

Hell yeah dude!!! Favorite video of yours yet!

1:29 The open up is crazy and brings an old tune i don't recall from where.

You just proved there is no challenge beyond your abilities.

I'm always flabbergasted at the amount of skill shown in your videos. Rock on

Bass sounds presented by any method - vocals, electric, string instruments, whatever ... of anything has always been my favourite! Excellent.

I dont know. To me, it sounds like ChatGPT is describing how I feel about all of Charles' performances. They are all impossibly epic!

Chat GTP impressed the heck out of me with that solo description. You however, Mr fire fingers, are just beyond words amazing. Btw I saw nothing here that was a “fail” so the Quest for the impossible solo continues!!! 🤘🎸🤘

Wow!!! I'm blown away -- and you make it look so easy.

Although hard to judge, this was one of your top ones, man! Excellent interpretation of the text, and I sure am awestruck! The part with separate melodies was especially amazing!

A.I: How many notes do you want? Charles: Yes! This solo is absolute 🔥🔥🔥 (mind blown again) 😱

Your playing is totally insane! And I think you know it! I feel that you’re totally responsible for thousands of bass players quitting their instrument right now.

Been watching your videos for a while now, youve inspired me with bass. Ive been doing bass lines of my favorite songs but you have helped me learn that i should do something myself and go on my own path, i hope i can learn slap bass soon so i can make a slap solo

I absolutely love this channel

It went from somehow classical feeling, to rocking really hard, then went jazzy, smooth, and then ominous, returns to that classical feeling at the end. That is definitely a really good bassline you just did there man, rock on.

Wow, that was insane, and you DID NOT fail in my EARS...

amazing as always!

Perhaps the the biggest indicator of how amazing I think Charles is: I was legitimately curious to see if he would kick off a shoe and start plucking a different melody and some harmonics with his toes. I was actually willing to believe that he could.

I laughed so hard! Thank you for this impossible bass solo 🎶🎵😊

every time i watch a video of yours im amazed how frickin good you are at what you do. then i forget a week or so and then the next video comes up and i ask myself how sth like that is possible....

As always Charles...you nailed it! Well done.

The tapping section that is repeated and comes in again right at the end is as if Bach composed it. It was a great solo, I have to say. Phenomenal playing too.

Maybe you technically failed because you didn't literally shatter your house with a sonic blast. But I'd say you got as close as humanly possible! I'm hella impressed that you managed the teeth/feet part. And the whole thing sounded amazing!

Charles, you are just the absolute best I’ve ever seen!

i didn't expect it to be that great but this was mind blowing , you nailed it

Genuinely rate Charles as the GOAT of bass. Can't think of anyone who is as creative and technically proficient. Definitely did NOT fail this challenge

bass

You even got the last part right: leave the audience in shock and awe at what they just witnessed🔥🔥🔥🔥. I'm the audience😭😭

Every time I watch your video it turns out to be the best thing I've seen online all day, and today I saw a video of a mama deer stopping traffic then convincing a random dude to follow her back to her baby deer who was trapped in a soccer goal, which he rescued. I'm pretty sure the miraculous power of your bass techniques could help any deer in need as well, and I say this as a lowly guitar player!

So incredible! That’s a pass in my book!

Yo this is literally my exact video down to the title 😂 it happens, nice solo ❤

You should turn it into a full arranged song! I could add it to my playlist easily! Great job

Way to sink your teeth into that solo Sir Charles! The tapping segments are unbelievable and this is an incredible tour de force of bass being played at the highest level. Amazing as always!

Ok so this isn't how I thought this would go. I actually figured you might give it a prompt and make it actually write a solo for you. Regardless, what you did was insane as always!! Absolutely nailed it!! Still, if you want to try making it ACTUALLY compose something for you, I came up with this prompt. Feel free to steal and tweak it and see what nonsense it spits out for you lmao ChatGPT prompt v v v You are a bass soloist coming up with their next piece, when suddenly, a melody hits you. Unfortunately for you, however, not only is this melody fantastic.. it’s technically impossible. Using the following format and restrictions, write out what this impossible solo was. Then, at the end, explain how it's impossible and what you'd need to play it. First, some guidelines: 1) You have all notes available to you on a bass, depending on the type of bass you choose. 2) You have all note types available to you, such as eighth notes, triplets, sextuplets, or however complicated you’d like to get. 3) You have all rest types available to you, such as half rest, whole rest, etc. 4) You have all keys and scale modes available to you (example, key of A lydian mode, or key of Eb Dorian mode) and can change the key whenever you feel like it. Same goes for time signatures. 5) You have all methods and techniques of playing available to you, such as slapping, tapping, harmonics, etc. 6) The piece must be within the realm of human possibility, but so technically difficult that it’s virtually impossible for people to play. Then, you will use this format: 1) At the beginning, mention the type of bass this is meant to be played on (4 string, 5 string, 6 string, fretted or fretless, etc). Then, mention the tempo, time signature, and key. If ever there’s a moment these change, restate them again at the moment of the change. 2) For the notes, use this format. First insert note name first if not a rest, then insert note type or rest type second. You can also condense connected notes. So for example, you’d get “Gb2, whole note. C5 F#5, eighth note run. Ab4 Bb4 C4, triplet run.” Etc. 3) Keep sharps and flats related to the established key. If it’s a flat key, only use flats (b) in your notes. If it’s a sharp key, only use sharps (#) in your notes. So for example, in a flat key, do not use C#. Use its alternative, Db. And vice versa, in a sharp key, do not use Gb, use its alternative F#. 4) Fit all notes within the time signature established. Now.. keeping all of that in mind.. write the impossible bass solo

Fun fact: The easiest part of this solo is actually the flames

Incredible stuff. Bravo 👏

Everything you play brings a tear to my eyes. You are the master, and i am but a humble subscriber. Love you Charles! #BassGod

Your playing is not just next level, it is nextest level. :-) As for me - I still think it's really impossible to be played by any other person.

I'm confussed here... did it generate the sheet music as well? Or just the text and you composed something to "translate" it to music? I highly doubt chatgpt can compouse such an intrincate piece. Its a pretty generic tool, but it wasn't designed for music composition

You are an amazing individual. God Bless you and stay well.

Mind blowing. Well done

I literally laughed out loud at the flames. Also, good on you for flipping off ChapG"friggin"PT @2:31. This is a video that @ozzymanreviews needs to get a hold of. Cheers mate!

Another excellent video ❤

First time seeing you. Beautiful music, also awesome strings.

you're nuts man! A thousand thumbs up! Incredible!

Wonderfully done!

This is great! Thank you!

AS usual, speachless after your bass solos

Holy Shit!!!!! I have never seen a Bass Player do what you do. You must be from another planet or something - I have been watching you channel for about a year now and you never seize to amaze me. Yup I am one of those people that feels like throwing my basses away every time I watch one of your videos, but like a fool I still keep trying. You are complete BASS GOD with all the techniques across the board you are a force to be reckoned with. I applaud you Charles.

Bravo my man!! This was killer.

super impressive playing, very melodic and cool melody, and a really cute and fun idea. thanks for posting!

You’re absolutely AMAZING BRO!

You are incredible in theory and execution.

Wow! Amazing bass solo!🤘

Brother,I live in Rome Georgia. In the states of course. The South land. I play guitar and I've never seen anything like that. Amazing technique and the tapping was amazing as well!!!!

Mate.. you are the best & that's an understatement 🤟

I wasn't sure how you were going to pull that one off but that was amazing and i can't wait to see what you come up with next

"write me an impossible bass solo" chat gpt: describes your live performances

Incredibly involved and amazing. You must be stopped!

You did impressively well and I think you hit all the points with this one!

just amazing! WOW!

I have this invisible band in my head, when I listen to music, and they are all exceptionally proficient at their instruments, and the Bass player plays the way Charles actually does. It gets almost supernatural. It goes to show, that whatever seems impossible, may actually be not.

The flames got me laughing, great job man. Impressive as always!

Aside from sounding amazing it was also very fun to watch. Thanks for having fun with the edit.

🔥 This is amazing!!

Glad you did the teeth bit before the foot part.

That is SOOO good man!!! ❤

Awesome work!!!

Like usual, Charles, you Aced it!

You Are Amazing x

Awesome job!
