His basslines are exceptional. still today, the way he does it is a major influence for bassplayers who are learning to play and sing at the same time. To me, the man is still a monster.
@@bbsoni4814 I never realized he played the riff up an octave. I always assumed he would have started on the low E, like the guitarist does. It's harder to play up an octave, which is why he has to keep looking at his hands. And sing at the same time. It's really not THAT hard the way he's doing it - any normal musician can do it with a bit of practice. But any normal musician would have played it down an octave and made it much easier!
@@aquamarine99911 me neither, heard and played it 1000 times though haha...it gives the bassline more punch...apparently, John found this genius riff and wrote the song...also , i don't think it was recorded on a gretsch, i think they used a rickenbacker for the riff
You can really see how much Paul enjoyed touring as compared to his other fellow beatles even when they were still touring together....and even now at his age he's stilol enjoying the life of touring and doing concerts all over the world. :)
Unlike many rock bands, the Beatles rarely based a song on a single riff, but this is one of the all-timers Kinda miss that unique Lennon vocal take on the "it took me sooooooooooo long to find out'"
no shit. his 1st solo LP entitled "McCartney" is the best. he plays every instrument. no others are involved at all in writing, playing, recording etc. back the it was unheard of
regarding the baseline of the Day Tripper I agree that its quite a challenge to sing and play at the same time, you'll notice Sir Paul takes a glance on his fingers. Well we can ask Sir Paul he is still alive anyway
Cameron Goldman Considering that hofner is from the beatles era, I'd say it sounds pretty damn good !! Just listen to that thing hit at :40 , sounds pretty sweet in my opinion
Hmmmmm That hofner looks like it's been around a while. I think that's the beatles era bass , could be wrong tho. Nevertheless, the bass sounds great in this clip !
One of the most difficult song he plays with the band about his own word in magazine Rolling stone, playing and singing at the same time is a great challenge and Paul keep on rocking with big concentration in this title, he is just human is'nt it ?
@derek4ur Paul is truly a great bassist. Another GREAT bassist who gets horribly overlooked is BRIAN WILSON. Brian is known for his unique bass lines and Paul will tell you that Brian inspired alot of the Beatles' music. The Beatles were blown away by PET SOUNDS. RIP Carl & Dennis Wilson, RIP George Harrison & John Lennon.
John never sang the high parts of this song, only the low harmonies, and also only starting "She was a day tripper". Half the vocals were Macca and the other half Lennon.
Nope, Paul still has his bass, and all is right in the world. The 'real thing' is scraped up below the strings (which you can see in this video). I would hate to see Paul give up his Hofner, even for charity. I'm hoping his kids will create a Macca museum when he passes (many, many years from now), and the Hofner will be its centerpiece.
paul manages to be the youngest person on the stage and the oldest at the same time.. he's old in age but he's young in spirit! nobody could ever take paul's place! there will always be a spot for him in my heart!
Incorrect. John sings the second line of the verses the same notes Paul uses on the first line, while Paul sings low under him. Then they both sing the chorus together (except the words 'she was a' which John sings solo.) And they both double up with overdubbing. You can hear it on the isolated vocal tracks available on You Tube.
Impresionante, este vidoe es genial, la voz de paul interpretando esta cancion es super, le da un toque magico esta version. Paul McCartney No cabe duda que sigues siendo el mejor. eres lo maximo. Great, Great, Great. Te queremos en Mexico... Mexico Love You Paul. Regresa...Get Back Paul.
Paul wrote the verses to Day Tripper per John' s own interview. So if you wrote the song and sang the song on the original record it is not a tribute band we are seeing.
Totally disagree, for the most part Geddy Less usually keeps the harder stuff for when he's not singing, not always but mostly... This Bass line is actually pretty hard to perfect on bass let alone whilst trying to sing... Try it yourself I bet you'll struggle with it, it's really not as easy as it looks.
@MrSteevieboy The answer is quite simple. He is 'different'. He's been given a God given talent which even he can't explain..it just 'is'. Same could be said about Mozart, Bach, Beethoven and other musical prodigies.
I am a massive Sir Paul fan..Next to Elvis my main idol Sir Paul's idol too !! This man has been through so much the last few years and he continues to please the crowds ..a very private man who I deeply respect ..I live near his estate ..I have seen Sir Paul on a bike in Brighton ..no airs and graces about this man at all ..A true Northerner like me ..polite , respectful of others even when he was going through that divorce he kept his dignity ..Respect for Sir Paul Always
to be clear I love the Beatles and Paul McCartney, but since you asked that question you must not be familiar with a guy named Jimi Hendrix. How he played those riffs and sang at the same time, let alone just played the riffs is mindblowing.
I thought they were right on the money, Why look for the imperfection, when you're listening to possibly the greatest song writer that ever lived! Not to mention he's a phenomenal musician, singer and his vocals are on the money! You were watching a video of the song, but if you were there it would've sounded way more full! In 1975 I saw The Who at Madison Square Garden tonight on that tour, when they introduced their Quadrophenia album, and did all their greatest hits, which I saw years later on video, and the video did not do those songs justice! You had to be there!
@IamMagPie My guess is that the studio version was done with the Rickenbacker bass, which has better intonation in the upper register. Since he is using the Hofner--which in his words always had intonation issues in the upper registers--he tends to play lower.
@Albert18264 Talk about a legend. It sounded like crap ever since he bought it. Dark, muddy, it only works on keeping rythm (Get Back)...I wish he'd use his Rickenbacker again. Just watch Rockshow, and you'll hear what I mean.
This, like many Beatle hits, would be regarded as major rockers except, when the Beatles delivered it, it was described as “Pop”. Don’t get me wrong, Pop was been a major enjoyment of my life, but sometimes a different perspective changes relative value!
Got a good reason 그럴 듯한 이유가 있다면 For taking the easy way out now. 모든 것이 쉽게 해결되죠 She was a day tripper, 그녀는 당일치기 여행자였지 One way ticket, yeah! 편도 티켓만 갖고 있었네 It took me so long to find out, 무슨 이유인지 오랫동안 궁금했는데 And I found out. 이제야 알게 되었지 She's a big teaser, 그녀는 애태우게 만드는 여자였지 She took me half the way there, now. 내 몸만 뜨겁게 달궈 놓았거든 Tried to please her, 그녀를 즐겁게 해 주려고 했지만 She only played one night stands now 그녀는 오직 하룻밤만을 즐겼을 뿐이야 She was a day tripper, 그녀는 당일치기 여행자였네 Sunday driver, yeah! 일요일의 드라이버, 예! Day tripper, (yeah) 당일치기 여행자였네
And that was just another single. It wasn't even a straight A side as it was coupled with We Can Work It Out. For most groups it would be the best thing they'd ever done.
Paul inspired me to start playing bass because if a 19 year old from Liverpool learn to play the bass and become the biggest rocker in the world why can't I start a band and be the bass player? So much respect to you Paul McCartney
@LordLTSmash Play E open then on the same string play GG# - B on the A string - E on the D string - D open - B on the A string - F# on the D string - B on the A string - D open - E on the D string. Once you have established this pattern just move it across and start with the A string and play the same pattern only one string up those are all the intro notes. Middle part play ithe same riff starting with the B note on the 7th fret of the E string. Rest is mainly single root notes g-luck
@miguelportnoy85 According to Jack Bruce (bass player, are you familiar with him?) to Times Online on June 1, 2008: "Ask him who he regards as the best bass players in pop and rock history (see box) and he answers at once: 'If you’re talking electric bass, it’s very, very simple: James Jamerson, Paul McCartney, Jaco Pastorius, me.'" Now I ain't no musician, and I don't know how good a musician you are, but, when a famous bass player says somebody is GOOD I tend to follow his opinion.
@CarlosS0808 distortion is less subject to picking attack and other factors ... if you pick the strings hard on dist. the volume rises a little but on clean it could have a really high spike ... same for your fretboard hand ... also dist. picks up the lighter touches well because its consistancy ... in a place like that if its not all equalized perfectly the guitars could be drown out or drown everything else because of the way the sound wave echo there ... thats mostly why its distortion
@plotchickens Yeah, collectively they are all one fantastic drummer, like the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers!!!! except Paul's band doesn't blow up miniature buildings and bad guys called Shredder, or something like that. I just watched your band's music and damn, you guys are good! You should go on tour with like Refused or ABBA or one of those Nordic metal bands or anybody else from Sweden. Is it dark all the time for you right now? I live in Florida. What does your band name mean?
Yes, Paul was a much smoother bass player, rarely looked down. When Bill talks about the early days and how he met George, John and Ringo he sounds as if he memorized a script, which he has but what can you say, he has gotten away with it for decades.
@derek4ur Yeah I was pretty mad when I wrote that...I shouldnt have been on youtube...but you're right because I should never have questioned your opinions, I mean its YOUR opinion, YOUR taste in music and YOUR life in general...music is hard to argue because everything is so subject to opinion, dunno why I tried! Sorry about that
@LordLTSmash The intro is really a variation of a boogie bass like say the intro to Pretty Woman by Roy Orbison what you should learn is how to play a basic 12 bar blues and then this would all make sense to you. It's gotta be a whole lotta shakin' going on and is what the the Beatles influences' were.
@RustySchit Paul hardly ever chose anything simple for his melodies. He was all over the place. Even with the simpler songs. Magic Fingers McCartney. Got a bass, and trying to learn some of his songs, since he is my favorite musician of all time. And Oi!! is it hard
@gochisox4696 Well - he is definately 500 million times better than half of the bands around these days who are busy destroying the reputation of the older, talented artists. They can try all they like but they will NEVER make people forget Macca!
@danny239 Well, If paul died, "this paul" sings, plays and writes awesome songs like Hey Jude, helter skelter, oh darling, Let it be, goodnight tonight, hope of deliverance; etc. He's still the father of pop rock. LONG LIFE PAUL....
Paul is so class compared to those old farts Stones. Jagger looks like a transvestite, Richards can barely stand on his feet, Watts is 2 seconds to death on every show, and their performaces are far, far from professional.
@caulinrocker1 but you have to admit that it takes away that nice, original, clean Beatles sound. by clean i mean no distortion cus john lennon played his guitar like he was swatting flies. lol
@justathanasia I would say we don't know many times they might have overdubbed their own harmonies to create a thicker sound, especially in the later years when they stopped touring.
Amazing. McCartney doesn't play the bass lines as in the original. Compare this with original footage of his bass work at the lines "I found out, and I found out".
