Where is Charles Bertroud?

Never heard of him either .. they say he’s a good YouTube player .. another of those slap/tap/happy guys who started by showing off their chops, trying to evolve towards comedy when they realised that the audience’s comments were starting to cool down I guess.
Boring, another movie I’ve already seen I believe, although, to be honest I’ve never watched any of his videos.
I prefer guys such as JULES JACKSON, whom I can learn something usable from.
But this is just me and my 2 cents.
Interesting that you have 2 cents without having watched any of his videos.
 
A few shows ago as I was setting up this very attractive young lady came to the stage and kept asking me to play something, anything..she kept saying over and over how and how much she loves the bass. Every break same thing she would come to the stage and ask me to play something while I was on break.. she made me feel really nervous and uncomfortable and I didn't understand it. She wasn't hitting on me or anything she was my daughters age but being an over the top bass fan girl and she was not drinking. I had never experienced anything like this, and did not believe these bass fans existed.....Looking back she was probably a fan of Davie504 and CharlesB. Ok.. Now I get it. Bass players everywhere should celebrate these youtubers for getting us noticed. Also for being fantastic players we can get inspiration from. :D
