I love so many George and John songs, and when I really think about it.. it's Paul's bass line that made the song. Paul wrote unbelievable songs too... but there seems to almost be something magical about crafting his bass lines to John and George's songs. John said in his very candid and critical 1980 Playboy Interview right before he died, that despite the fact that Paul bragged that he could play every instrument, there was nothing like his bass. John said he was the greatest rock n roll bass player ever and that every bass player since essentially copied and branched off his melodic movements.

Somewhere along the 60s I discovered that there was actually more than one type of guitar in a rock band. There was a guitar and then there was another type that had only four strings and made a low throbbing humming noise and I learned it was called a bass guitar. Wow, I thought, I love the bass. And like most kids then I thought the Beatles were so cool. One day I asked my older brother "which one of the Beatles plays the bass?". McCartney", he replied. My reaction was "Woa......! My first rock and roll hero - Paul McCartney.

Brilliant. Thanks to this series I learned that Paul's lines were very much in the "swing" jazz tradition. This goes hand-in-hand with his inventive "walking" bass lines, which too many contemporary bassists never bothered to assimilate; e.g. "All My Lovin'." #12 "Something" is a résumé of the McCartney bass style.

Excellent collection, and very well-played. Some of Paul's most-overlooked super work was on "Sgt. Pepper" where he would go into the studio alone and overdub bass onto the rhythm track. Great example is on a song that is far from a favorite of mine, "Lucy in The Sky With Diamonds". Go back and listen to the bass line, especially in the last minute or so of the song.
