I’m not being that guy but I’m a Beatles fanatic and play the bass myself … my thoughts are that most of the runs and tricky bits are on the elongated notes or the fills in between the bars / break of the melody. What ya think? 😀 curious … he’s an absolute genius my fav to play is either something or she’s so heavy I think they’re crazy !
Oh yeah, I learned Do you want to know a secret on the bass from a youtube tutorial, it took me a long time to sing to it and play Pauls notes with proper sustain. There are a lot of nuances and clever sharps and flats in his progressions. Not just the usual 8 bar repeating bass lines. Paul McCartney definitely demonstrates next level musicianship. Creative writing and talented singing
He reinvented not only the bass,but the role of the bassist as well.Nobody before him,wanted to play that instrument in a band.After him,many wanted to.
I think originally Paul played bass by default but you can't deny that he helped develop bass as a melodic counter point to guitar or keyboards and not just for rhythm. He opened up the possibilities of bass guitar as a lead instrument in the way John Entwistle RIP and Chris Squire RIP have done....
Not by all, I've always loved the Beatles from an early age (I'm 62 now) and mainly liked their earlier music but once I started listening more to "Sergeant Pepper", "Fixing A Hole" is memorable/addictive - it is very intelligent/imaginative and needs to be listened to properly in order to understand that it has more than one meaning, being the one you initially hear.👍👂🧠🙂🌹
Revolver is my favourite album but, man, when you listen to this song (a "deep album cut") you realize just how much further they had taken things beyond their peers at the time. This song has so many wonderful things going on. It's a treat to see Paul play it live.
Though every Beatles song is unique, this one is absolutely 100% unique as a whole. It has an indescribable vibe to it that I can't explain and the first words that come to my mind when I think of it are acid rock. I don't know if acid rock is actually a thing, and if so, idk if it sounds anything like this but to my ears, this is rock n roll filled with acid. I don't care if the lyrics are about weed or life or whatever, I'm talking about the feeling it gives me
@@ViniciusFiocco and Peter Thomas Ratto - You two idiots are still perpetuating the "Paul Is Dead" farce. Here, deal with reality ( if you can ) www.audioforensicexpert.com/sir-paul-mccartney-is-not-dead/ And for anyone who's still sceptical, read the man's credentials here ; www.audioforensicexpert.com/audio-forensic-expert-witness-cv/ Now will you stop circulating this lie ? Paul is the same Paul now as he was then. Grow up !
@@peterthomasratto7619 ese es paul el unico y verdadero faul tienen ustedes el cerebro vean su cara es la misma del joven paul ya dejen la fantacias de matar a paul a cada rato y traduzcan esto malditos enfermos piensen en su diminuta cabecita por un momento supongamos que fuera asi como dicen ustedes los ficciolos (ficcion) entonces todos los beatles, familiares, amigos cercanos.productores como el gran sir george martin gente que deberian ser seria hallan ocultado algo tan grave obvio porque eso nunca sucedio, ustedes creen que jhon siendo tan directo que nunca temia al decir las cosas hubiera ocultado algo asi por favor dejense de joder
The first 13 notes off the album cut just blow me away. Then Ringo comes in with his 6 delicate taps on the symbol. Awesome. Another one of Paul's best.
this was a good lineup..robbie mcintosh is a fantastic guitarist..i saw paul for the 1st time on the flowers in the dirt tour..cried like a baby when he played fool on the hill.....
I'd love to get to see him before it's too late for him or me. I'll be 70 soon. I've seen Ringo's All Star Band and also Brian Wilson about 12 years ago. They were both really good but what impressed me most was Brian Wilson's voice was better than ever. I'm honored to have seen this music legend.
quando o cara nasce pra ser artista ele passa uma vibe diferente em cima do palco. vai além de profissionalismo! é sobre gostar, saber e desenvolver(da melhor forma possível) aquilo que fazemos.
Writer, lead vocal: Paul McCartney I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in, 나는 비가 새는 구멍을 고치고 있어요 And stops my mind from wandering 그리고 어디로 갈지 Where will it go. 방황하는 일도 이젠 그만두려 해요 I'm filling the cracks that ran through the door, 문으로 나 있는 틈을 틀어 막고 있어요 And kept my mind from wandering 그리고 어디로 갈지 Where will it go 방황하는 일도 이젠 그만두었죠 And it really doesn't matter 내가 옳고 그르건 If I'm wrong, I'm right, 정말 상관없어요 Where I belong, I'm right, 내가 어디에 속해 있건 나는 옳아요 Where I belong. 어디에 속해 있건 See the people standing there 그 곳에 서 있는 사람들을 봐요 Who disagree and never win 의견도 다르고, 결코 이기지도 못하는 사람들이죠 And wonder why they don't get in my door. 그들이 내 문으로 들어오지 않는 이유를 생각해 봐요 I'm painting my room in the colourful way, 나는 다채롭게 문을 칠하고 있어요 And when my mind is wandering, 내 마음이 방황할 때면 There I will go. 나는 그 곳으로 갈 겁니다 Oo-oo-oo-ah-ah. 오~ Hey, hey, hey, hey. 헤이~ Silly people run around, 어리석은 사람들이 어슬렁거리네요 They worry me and never ask me 그들은 나를 걱정하면서도 결코 묻지 않아요 Why they don't get past my door. 그들이 내 문 앞을 지나쳐 가지 않는 이유에 대해 I'm taking the time for a number of things 어제까지만 해도 중요하게 생각지 않았던 That weren't important yesterday. 수많은 일을 할 수 있는 시간이 내겐 남아 있어요 And I still go. 나는 아직도 할 수 있어요
Richard Lush, an engineer in the studio at the time, said that John Lennon played bass on this song while Paul McCartney played harpsichord. This account can be found in the book The Beatles Gear.
It's certainly Paul's style so I'm sure he wrote the bass part, but I believe it's actually George who played bass. George had a good feel for bass. John, not so much.
Not sure I buy the engineer's supposed accounting of the recording facts. Agree with other commentator...this is most definitely a McCartney bass line ....the cartoon/videos of the track show Lennon playing keyboard. Need to go back to George Martin for validation and that is going to be kind of tough....someone ought to ask McCartney a few meaningful questions on the music creativity facts before it's too late.
Geoff Emerick said Paul came into the studio in the evenings, by himself, with only Emerick present, during the Pepper sessions, and recorded the bass lines well into the night for each of his songs, over and over until he got them perfect. So I am sure Paul played the bass on Fixing. Not sure he did this on the other Beatles' songs, but you can check it out in the book Here, There and Everywhere by Geoff Emerick.
@@johnmaer this is a composite recording. The track on the Pepper album is the recording done at Regent Studios with John on Bass.. McCartney on harpsichord... then they worked on it further with McCartney adding a more prominent bass overdub and George Martin adding the more prominent harpsichord and possibly Ringo adding cymbals on top as well. you can hear the ghost of the Regent recording under the Abbey Road one!
On a whim I played the studio version the other day. So surreal to see Paul perform this song from "Sergeant Pepper's" because they had stopped touring before then.
@@chrisreidy439 Get what you mean but I don't see Lovely Rita as a pure psychedelic song...more like Paul's "descriptive character" songs, like "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window" or "Rocky Racoon"...
At the top of his game here ...I just wish he would quit now before the keyboard warriors tear him apart for his (justifiably) weakening voice...he's 76 now and trying to sing like when he was 26 ..Paul I love you man, but accept that the voice is fading , don't let mean spirited people spoil the legend that we love.. Respect sir, you are an absolute phenomenon
Paul used acid sometimes.His drug of choice of drug is definitely weed!! He indulged in acid, just not like John and George who loved acid!! I read I believe that John did thousands of acid trips!! I've heard they all were tripping on acid when they did Sgt Pepper album! Ringo doesn't seem to disclose a lot! Here's the one that totally funny!! They said at times that Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was not about a very tripping acid!! Excuse us!!!!! And all four Beatles insist that they got the idea from a picture John's eldest son brought home a drawing he had made at school and said " look it's Lucy in the sky with Diamonds!! So it just was a coincidence that all the words that were capitalized just happened to spell out LSD!!! They made some kind of vow to always say Julian made that picture!! If you would ask
