Here's a study on the theory of what Paul McCartney played on "All My Loving." For a study of what John & George played see: • The Beatles - All My L...
This is why we learn scales. A lot of what McCartney does is scales. The reason Paul liked the 1, 6, 5, 3, 1, at the end of the verses is because it's the pentatonic scale and fits SO many songs. Beautiful.
This has always been one of my favourites to play on bass so this was definitely a fun surprise, would love to see some more bass lessons but great as always Mike
I always thought you should feature Paul's bass playing. Can you do a video about Paul's bass on the song "The One After 909". Amazing bass from a young Paul.
Grazie mille Michele!!!!!!! LOVE your Beatle guitar videos and especially the incredible in depth Back Stories. As a bass player I was always hoping you would occasionally do some bass videos because you always beautifully play the bass parts in your fantastic sound alikes and so very happy to find this gem today. Thank You!!!!!!
I learned this great walking bass off of a YT video painstakingly -purely because of it's beauty in Melody. If that makes sense. How fantastic it is to you as the #1 Beatles scholar and musician to outline and teach it, in depth. Thank you.
Thanks Mike. I've been playing this a bit wrong for almost 40 years......because I'm not as meticulous as you. Also for teaching us bass parts. I had suggested this on the past.Merci Michel.
Oh, man! The highlight of this lesson was someone finally pointing out the mistake Paul makes in the third verse… I’ve always played it with that “one string-off” flub, and I think it sounds kind of cool and certainly more authentic to the recording. Lol… Keep up the great work, and wouldn’t mind to see/hear some more bass lessons down the road. Cheers, Mike!
Great Bass lesson Mike! I would never have know that the Bass line that you demonstrated was from "All My Loving"? But then again, I would not recognize the Guitar parts either! It's amazing how the actual song sounds when all of the instrument parts are played together. 🤔🤔
Get reason to bring out my Hofner again, thanks for the time, effort, and excellence. It will certainly hurt my right wrist less than playing Lennon's rhythm guitar.
Great idea ts Macca's parts - he spent a lot of time working to perfect them - especially when they moved to London and he was just next door to Abbey Road Studio
I wrote a Christmas song using this chord sequence (but not the melody) of ALL MY LOVING and changed the bass melody a bit so no repeating bass notes occur.
Hay Mike I luv it. I have my Beatles Bass (Hofner) and I'm going to purchase your Tab for it.Got one Question though. How does he and you Play and sing at the same time? I bet a lot of people have that question. Anyway Iv been a great Fan of you for some time. So keep up the Faith.
re: "How does he and you Play and sing at the same time?" You practice it slowly and work it up to speed. It takes time but you get what you put into it. You can do it!!
The bass and vocals were recorded live on 2 track tape I believe. If it was a good vocal take then maybe the bass mistake was left alone as it wasnt a huge mess up.
Come dico nella lezione, Ho già fatto la lezione di chitarra per questa canzone. Ecco il collegamento: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zZrxEqUr_Rg.html
To fix the mistake, they could have "borrowed" the correct notes from elsewhere in the song, and just pasted over the wrong notes..oh wait, they weren't using ProTools back then, lol.🤪
Considering none of The Beatles could read music, do you think any of them would understand what you're saying? As a poor guitarist, I certainly can't.
@Don - what I'm talking about is pretty basic. Chords are comprised of notes that are various scale degrees apart from each other. SO - when the guitar is playing a certain chord - the bass might play the root, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th, 9th, etc. Example - If the guitar plays a C chord. The root (1) is C. The 3rd (3) is E The 5th (5) is G The 6th (6) is A The 7th (7) is Bb (could be B if it's a major 7th chord) The 9th (9) is A So when I talk about what Paul is playing (using numerics) that's what I'm referring to. The relationship of what note he's playing to the chord that's being played.
