Fans Challenge Charles Berthoud With Wild Requests – Including “Another One Bites The Dust” in 15/32
We’ve come to expect the unexpected from Charles Berthoud, and this video packs a whole lot of jaw-dropping playing.
Throughout the clip, Charles answers questions and requests from fans, including these highlights:
0:31: “Play ‘Donna Lee’ blindfolded.” (He did it with his eyes closed.)
0:49: “Play the ‘Super Mario’ theme with the bass and melody (like Rob Scallon).” (Check.)
2:24: “Seinfeld.” (His response was perfect.)
3:43: “‘Another One Bites the Dust’ in 15/32.” (3:42 mark). (Nailed it.)
4:31 “How old were you when you first starting playing bass?” (No music, we just love his answer.)
5:21 “Play bass with a guitar.” (We’re not sure if he answered the question, but this is hilarious.)
6:32 “How do you slap so fast?” (He breaks down all the options in a matter of seconds. Then he demos many of them.)
7:28 “What song can’t you play?” (We really wanted to know. We won’t spoil it for you.)
10:34 “Hotel California.” (Skipped. Obviously.)
There’s a lot more to this video, so be sure to watch it all.
