    My favourite part was when Charles played the bass.
  • @tylerap1
    I've played guitar, principally, for over 39 years and yes, the world needs more bass and has been suffering quite extensively during my lifetime. I am so glad for players such as yourself and Dave504. You've been helping the world, as well as my family and I thank you!
  • @murphymoe753
    I've had 50+ years playing bass but can't get near you ever especially your speed... BRAVO is not enough ...you are one of the few top bassists 🎸🎶
  • @tubularguynine
    Vic Wooten was with Bela Fleck at the first 'BayFest' in Mobile, AL, in 1995. I was right in front of the 1 ft. tall 'stage', about 3 ft. from Vic, and was AMAZED for their whole set!
  • @andririki1298
    Charles trying to be Wooten 10 years ago is still a lot better than me trying to be Wooten 100 years later in the future
  • I'm 48, no musical background, I struggle with mild PTSD, excessive TBI, blast over pressure, concussive events...etc, etc, etc... symptoms from almost 20 yrs of military service....had a brush with music therapy in a TBI clinic to help me progress....always wanted to learn how to play the Bass Guitar, Primus, RHCP (FLEE) and funky Jazz lines hit me. I have found a new outlet and you sir, are an inspiration. Love watching all of your content...now I just need to buy a decent Bass. My son plays (regular) guitar and cant wait to surprise him at some point with a funky bass line one day while he is practicing. Keep CRUSHING it! Love watching the finger work you have!!!
  • @MightyFineMan
    The Davie504 solo you did was so incomprehensibly clean. But with all the solos, the longer I think about your technique the more impressive it gets
  • @grizelda4526
    Awesome to feature Ida! One of my favorite funk masters, I don’t think she gets enough recognition.
  • Without Davie, not many people would know who charles is- mad respect for these 2 youtube legends
  • @nigel900
    As a musician myself, I can certainly appreciate the skill of great players like these… but I also temper it with the realization that most of the greatest songs ever composed were relatively simple. Food for thought… 👍🏻
  • @gordoncraig6852
    Your Victor Wooten cover was amazing, you used so many different techniques flawlessly. You're some player 👏
  • @speedyplays2006
    I didn't use to pay any attention to the bass, but then I found your videos and I've been binge-watching ever since. You are so good at what you do and now I am even considering learning the bass. Keep up the great content!
  • @Paxmax
    This amount of bass funk in one video is a fire hazard. Well handled.
  • What I am more impressed about is how you have mimicked each bassists tone on your 1 bass. Great job dude!
  • @2bright2see
    Posting videos of him 10 years ago, just to prove he is not an alien from planet BASS !! GOAT
  • @micahturner6239
    Really cool of you to showcase the little guys like Davie504. Your an honorable chap. 👍🏻
  • @B-lord360
    Legitimately can’t believe Victor Wooten is real that guy has unchecked levels of funk
  • @ttbo12
    The tapping adds an amazing dimension to the instrument. I could listen to this all day.
