When You Request JINGLE BELLS From A Showoff... 

Favourite Christmas song? 🤔👇🏻

"only one of us is going home today" *plays the licc

“It’s jazz.” With that face. Needs to be merch.

This was very enjoyable. Thank you

Wait, doesn't everybody play Jingle Bells like this? Just kidding, there's only one Charles the PRO.

1:59 I love "woo" guy

"Its jazz" best sentence ever😂

Teacher: "Just play the song!" Charles, an intellectual: "Ha, it's Jazz!"

I would listen to a full Charles Berthoud Christmas album! So good!

RU-vid: "You will get a strike if you play copyrighted music" *watches Charles play Jingle Bells" RU-vid: "Never mind"

Merry Christmas, Charles, you're the gift that keeps giving all year round. The best for you and your loved ones.

The jazz "WOOer" is always such a welcome addition lol.

1:59 "WooOoh" cameo

Ah yes, The Lick. The most civilised way to end any piece of music.

This is sick! This channel never disappoints. Virtuoso guy playing, lots of humor, straight to the point. That's the formula to success. Keep it coming man. Cheers from Argentina.

“TAPPING through the snow in a one-horse open BASS”

I just want to say you're the best bassist I've ever seen

If there would be a show off musician like this, I’d love to hire him for the rest of eternity

Your "jazzy" take on jingle bells warms my soul!!! Thank you!! You should do a Christmas album !!

If all Christmas songs sounded like this I'd probably listen to them more.

The Christmas lick... I wonder if it tasted like gingerbread or peppermint.

THE LICC to close and everything is flawless.

"It's Jazz" - the phrase that preceeds a musician playing whatever the F he wants

The “just play the song” after the bVI bVII then more messing around on the melody was absolutely hilarious.

Charles : "It's jazz" Me : *falls off chair in tears wheezing*

If shopping centers were playing this on repeat, I'd stay long enough to ruin my credit card, catch Covid twice and possibly punch Santa in the face. Excellent!

No better to way to end Jingle Bells than with The Lick! HA. Merry Christmas Charles!

That lick at the end though... *red cap guy* would certainly go wooo!

After watching so many different musicians on RU-vid, I've gotta say, Charles is THE best I've seen. And consistently awesome. Keep on rockin Charles!

I love how Charles make jazz jokes that even non-musicians can laugh at

1:53 sounds like it can be in a Super Mario Christmas game. I love it

The most powerful lick of all time lol

My uncle passed away today. And I never listen to Christmas songs. I'm a musician and composer myself(not very good though) today my uncle gave me a call and told me to listen to jingle bell. He's been suffering from covid 19. 1hour after he called me, as I was watching this video I got the call that he had passed away. I'm subscribing to you today because I will always remember the best of my uncle everytime I see you play. You are great.please keep making great music...thank you and merry Christmas.

Even played the lick at the end. Perfect, 10/10

“ONLY ONE OF US IS GOING HOME TODAY!” → the lick 😂

The quick appearance of the jazz guy with beret just yelling a smooth "woooh" in the mike got me cracking! lol

Reminds me of Daniel Thrasher riffing all over himself. Also that unexpected cameo by the jazz enthusiast is brilliant.

"too many notes" (you'll never get anywhere). Antonio Salieri. (possibly)

1:59 that "fooooo" guy always had me laughing 😂

You melted the Christmas snow with this song🔥🔥🔥

why is charles just so good at playing and composing

Seriously tho I just watched this 4 times in a row this is why I’m such a huge fan of the pro he always delivers killer bass lines and classy humor I love it

the timing on "Just play the song!!" was amazing. Very funny!

Yeah! The "ooh" guy always makes me smile ;).

Wow. Ending it with the licc. Very cool. I appreciated the show off bassists banter while he was playing. Very entertaining! Have a Merry Christmas!

Okay, now THIS is the content I came for. I'm dying.

He just brought Jingle Bells to a whole new level and didn't even need to show off...that was just natural!

Lmaooo "only one of us is going home today" the soul of a true show off!!

Only one of us went home today. RIP Glasses Charles.

*scoff* "it's jazz" The only defense needed

He was shredding so hard that he was able to play drums with his mind

The best Jingle Bells version I've ever heard!!! FANTASTIC

Charles Berthoud with glasses: just play a normal Jingle Bells song on bass. Charles Berthoud without glasses: surely yes, but no!

I would buy your Christmas album and play it all year! I’d keep Christmas in my heart year round, just like Scrooge at the end of the book!!

fantastic. the lick at the end killed me. Merry Christmas to you and yours Charles!

1:59 the “ woo “ guy had one job and he nailed it

I dont mind show off musicians, as long as they're actually good

Great work as always man! Have a happy holidays!

I love this SHOWOFF Musicians VIdeos! And again, so impressive, really well done Charles! Greetings from Germany and merry christmas!

This tune is plaguing my brain. I’ve even been playing it to the folk at work!

It's not "just jazz"...its really really GOOD jazz.

Marry Christmas Charles 🎄⛄ Lots of love from INDIA 💖 Just keep doing what you doing, we love you we will support you and bass!!!

The teacher was like, "oh gawd, what have I done..?" Awesome rendition, as always

I just LLLOOOOOOOVE IT ! The 7 nation army show off is one of my favorites! Please please please , more show off videos !

2:21 when you use music to brutality murder your music instructor with explosives, because he asked you to play jingle bells

Isnt this Video more like: how to TRIGGER your music teacher on CHRISMAS

Outsanding playing and rib tickling to boot. Great job Charles

I legit died when he said only one of us is going home today. Hahaha

Who else heard "the licc"

This do be a showoff as much moment

"ONLY ONE OF US IS GOING HOME!" lmao still makes me laugh

Thank you so much for such grace, style and humility.

No one: Fresh Charles: O o O o O o

I'd love to see what you can do with a banjo! Merry Christmas Charles!

That "only one of us is going home today" bit, fkn cracked me up 😄 😄

Best ever Jingle Bells played by the best ever bassist ❤️

Happy holidays Charles! You showed me bass this year and I'm very grateful. You're better than Davie in my opinion. See you next year!

Why am I here I'm a Guitarist😆

this video needs more viewers.., so creative, funny, yet entertaining...

that "woo" guy gave a really impressive performance!

JUST PLAY THE SONG! it's jazz

And he ended it on "the lick" too

Sounds like the theme of a Super Mario Christmas special. Love it!

"JUST PLAY THE SONG" "pfff its jazz" my favourite part ahaha

I really like that you and Davie can play each other's licks and riffs, but when it comes to creating them, you two are totally different. Your style sounds (at least to me) more akin to metal (Primus, for example), while Davie's sounds funkier. But I insist, I can't choose one of you guys, if I had to choose a bassist for my band, I'd rather have two bassists than leaving one of you out.

“But that wasn’t even showing off”- bassist probably

I never know what to expect when clicking on a new video, but I never cease to be amazed. Keep up the amazing music and content!

Thanks for some much needed cheer this season. Happy holidays to you, sir, whatever you celebrate!

Ever since then, he hasn't played with anyone because his epic bass skills

Bro literally this dude deserves as many views than Davie, or even more. It’s just Davie’s actually pretty lazy now, doesn’t do like his usual bass solos now and is just attacking other instruments for views. Just give Charles a bit more love. 💖

1:42 "Just play the song!" ... "It's jazz"! ... With that face. I think I will laugh forever. You have found an absolutely original and fun way to show all your creativity. Dialogue with yourself, through various characters, exasperating the "simple" yourself against the true, talented and creative Charles. You are a fucking genius, my friend. I really love you!

For some reason the show-off-version sounds great 😎

Asking Charles not to play bass in an impressive manner is like asking a fish not to swim.

THE LICK😳

Merry Christmas Charles that was wonderful thank you!

The L I C K at the end, love it

When "jingle bells" becomes "djent bells"

It's should be titled Jingle Bass Ok

Best version of jingle bells so far. No cap.

Amazing. Your playing reminds me a lot of Charlie Hunter.
