@cheezewizard Год назад

It might just be the fact that I'm a massive fan of Stevie Wonder, but this is one of my favorite pieces you've ever done. Not too over the top, just a genuinely nice rendition of a legendary track. Love the acoustic as well!

@titus1211 Год назад

Its amazing how you can make these songs sound so full with only one instrument

@StuartQuinn Год назад

Really impressed how you nailed so much of the original straight, rather than just improvising a load of complex variations, which I suspect would have been easier, even if it sounded flashier. A vintage "hardest song in the world" this time!

@ilsukdyang8134 Год назад

How do you make an acoustic bass sound this good?!? I don't know what to say anymore 🤣🤣🤣

@zyxwfish Год назад

Right?

@rome8180 Год назад

@@RenanRischiotto if it was mic'd up it would sound a lot worse than this. The bass probably has a pickup and it's being plugged into the DI of an interface. That's why you get no room noise. That said, it still doesn't answer the basic question. I think the OP's question was more about technique than it was about how he recorded it.

@krispykr333me Год назад

4 strings making all that noise is just so darn cool to me, especially on the acoustic here. Another monster performance as usual, super inspiring man!

@DieselRogers2008 Год назад

That acoustic gave the song more twang than it needed but I'm not complaining, it sounded good

@refisherdesktop Год назад

I appreciate that a guy at your skill level still has to rely on bass face to get through. One of my all time favorite riffs; I think I prefer the simplicity of the original, but I appreciate what you were doing with it here. Also nice to see somebody flexing with an acoustic; they don't quite deserve the bad rap they get imo.

Holy CRAP! I've been patiently waiting for this. Charlie Boy, you knocked this one out of the park! I think you chose the perfect axe, the acoustic gives you tremendous freedom of expression.

Hello from North Carolina. I've been playing the guitar since I was 8 years old and I'm now going on 55 years now and I've worked with and played with a LOT of good bass players in my life but you make them all look like beginners, and I'm talking about international bands which I've worked with, but again, you make them all look like beginners my friend!! I'd give anything to be able to play some good music with you. You should be in the Guinness book of world records! I'm as serious as a heart attack too!! I bet that if you entered a bass players contest all the rest of those who entered would pack up their gear and leave after hearing you play because they would know that they wouldn't even stand a chance at winning against you! Keep up the fantastic playing my friend!

But the second verse, where you're holding down the bassline, clavichord line AND vocal melody? And making them all distinct and easily recognizable, while still physically possible to play? That's a whole different kind of compositional and performative skill, and I'm in actual awe.
