Beatles is the most overrated band ever

@caddelworth 7 месяцев назад

Exactly, Nelson. Speaking as someone who was around when the Beatles first arrived on the scene, what set Paul apart from almost all other bass players - and what "caught the ear" of bass players at the time - was his ability to craft great riffs, or a great counterpoint, to a melody. As Nelson rightly says, this is almost certainly because he was a songwriter as well as "just" being a bass player. At the time (early 1960s), Paul was more-or-less the *only* guy doing these things in the "pop" world, though obviously jazz (with a small J!) bass players had been doing this for some time previously. We're all so used to hearing those "melodic" styles of bass lines nowadays that it's difficult to convey how much of a bombshell McCartney's stylings caused back then.

@fiscaldisco5234 8 месяцев назад

What I admire of Paul most is his freedom to do odd things just because they sound good. We analyze/justify them later as these genius movements (like playing the b7 of the chord and walking down to the root), but I doubt he ever thought of them like that. You can tell he's just a great listener for bass melodies and doesn't allow himself to be constrained by what the bass "should" do. I think Ringo is also under appreciated for the same habit of putting his musical instincts over his learned knowledge of what the expected role of his instrument is. As someone who's put a lot of time learning those roles, I struggle stepping out of it when it's called for but learning these bass lines are a great inspiration to think outside the box and give yourself permission to do something different.

I was the "Paul" in a Beatles band for many years and I learned SO much and got so much better during that time. His bass lines are wonderful and singing and playing many of them took intense practice. The bass on Something is a brilliant piece of music on its own while in songs like Paperback Writer, the bass drives the entire song. I think that Paul isn't given enough credit for his groove either. The bass on Baby You're a Rich Man is slinky.

I've always loved McCartney's bass playing, so inventive and melodic and they are one of several things that lifted The Beatles away from any other band. And the fact he sang lead vocals and played these lines is phenomenal. He's certainly not underestimated by me. A truly great and gifted musician, multi- instrumental, vocalist, performer and songwriter

@GeroLubovnik 8 месяцев назад

That hollow body Rick is insane. I WANT ONE. The bassline on "Something" is so amazing that I made my band put this tune in our rotation. Paul's variations within it are subtle and fun. George's solo is pretty neat as well. One of my favorite tunes.

@devinebass 8 месяцев назад

@jotcarey 8 месяцев назад

George hated Paul's bass line in Something and asked him to simplify it. Paul, being Paul, refused. Bass players love the Something bass line because they get to feel like a lead player for three minutes, but I hear it as a raised middle finger from Paul to George. I defy anyone to name a slow McCartney ballad where he plays a similarly complicated line. His go-to for his own slow ballads was playing roots almost exclusively. (See, e.g., Here, There, and Everywhere.)

@jmartynuska 8 месяцев назад

In '81, I naievely bought a '69 Burgundy glo 4005 as the 1st owner...longer story. As I already had a 4001, i preferred it and the 4005 sat. Then life happened. Years later I started dragging out the old equipment to realize I had a unicorn! That fireflo is beautiful, happy to see it played - are the strings roundwound or flats?

@braemtes23 8 месяцев назад

@@jotcarey Actually, Harrison griped to George Martin that the bass line was too busy and he didn't want to use it. Martin thought it was fantastic and asked George to take a tape of the song home that night and listen to it again. Harrison came in the next day and agreed that they should keep it. This was told in an interview by Martin himself. Paul often created his best bass lines for his bandmates. On the same album, he also composed an amazing bass line for Come Together. Try not to always assume that Paul is a bad actor in these scenarios. Paul was always there for George on songs like Taxman, WMGGW, I Me Mine, Here Comes the Sun and Something giving his best effort. Listen to the deconstructed version of Something and how beautiful George and Paul's harmonies were. Also, he probably had more time to create unique bass lines for his band mates songs than for his own songs because he had nothing else to do for that song. On his own songs he would be writing the song, singing lead, playing piano, playing bass, etc., so he had less time to focus on just bass.

@Taterwheel 8 месяцев назад

I think the bass part on Something is one of the most inventive bass parts in the history of recorded music. Every guitar player I ever discussed this with thought it was too busy. George himself said the same thing well after the release, but didn't feel comfortable enough to be insistent on simplifying it. Paul later confirmed that he recalls George having that opinion. I can see both sides, but it just so amazing to me. Beautiful melodies, very supportive despite the quantity of notes, very thought provoking, and so very personal and intimate as a true McCartney line. I still choke up every time I listen to it. Of course, it helps a LOT that the song is one of the greatest compositions ever. Sinatra called it the greatest love song ever written. An George's singing is gorgeous on it.

@relevantbrother8964 8 месяцев назад

Critics fail to factor in that Paul's bass was the low end foundation providing the most solid structure for the band to pivot around. He knew when to provide space for the song to breathe and then bring the bass in and make the contrast sound even bigger or knew when to support the groove , play in front ,thicken the guitars or play melodic lines ,walking bass lines etc. Hey Bulldog is just a bass masterpiece that propels the instruments,drums and vocals.

The Beatles were the very first band I got into when I first began learning guitar as a kid (started at age 10 and I’m 24 now) and they’re still one of my absolute favourite bands, George Harrison was my first major influences on guitar and Paul McCartney is one of my absolute favourite bassists (I started playing bass in high school, which was my main instrument in our school band) and a reason why I bought a Rickenbacker 4003S back in the summer of 2020. He’s also undoubtedly one of the greatest bass players of all time so I wouldn’t say he’s underrated in that regard, but I would say that the most underrated part of his playing is the way he composes his bass lines to fit the song. Absolutely bloody beautiful, love live Macca and The Beatles

I always say: Paul saw the preciousness that would be "Something" and thought, 'I'm going to make the best bassline of my life.' It's great to hear from someone else who thinks it's one of his best too. I can listen to the song almost just following the bass and get emotional. It seems like he never repeats anything, it's always different. If I'm not mistaken, with George's song, he even asked Paul not to embellish too much, but seeing what he did, there wasn't much choice

Paul McCartney is the most important bassist in the world, more than any bassist especially the 'technical virtuoso' bassists, including who was ever been in your channel. Because how he contribute to a song/record/in a live situation, is the most important thing a bassist should ever do more than anything else. Everything, the play, the sound, and all. I think your channel should interview him as a very special edition video for your channel somehow, especially while he is still healthy now. I wish Paul McCartney will stay healthy for a long time but we know he's already very old now.

Please do another video. While My Guitar Gently Weeps is my favorite of his bass lines and I am not mad at this amazing video but I’d love to see yall play it.

Besides Paul McCartney being an amazing bass player and song writer. I have to say that I would really like to drink a beer or maybe 4 o 5 with Ian and Scott. These guys are so great to hear and they EXTRMELY enjoy what they are doing. Great video!
