I don’t think Paul had a left handed Fender VI
@@ABCFORKIDSCOMEDIAN1998
Maybe George
3:04 Paul vocal scream!
@@JesperSalama that's John doing that. you can listen to the scream also in take 33 of glass onion from anthology 3
Paul doesn't play the six-string bass. It's just his Fender with lots of Treble. Ringo actually play both of his kits in this song (Black Oyster and Holywood Maple)!
The bassline make the song more dark, and the tone, very strange. One of the reasons because their records sounds so natural and groovy is because Paul had the idea of the bassline but always improvise or change some melody. Genius.
I started learning bass because of this song
Would everyone agree that it’s a jazz bass?
This bass hypnotizes me. I have to listen to it several times. I feel the same in songs like Lovely Rita or Hey Bulldog.
I just read in Ken Scott’s book that the 6 string bass was played along with Paul’s bass on this song (and others) by either John or George; played together not as an overdub (Ken was the engineer on The White Album)
@@franktaconelli9095that’s super cool, I’m surprised they had the patience to coordinate every little note with each other
best raw vocalist of his time. wow
There isn’t a single instrument part that isn’t a masterpiece in this song. Ringo’s perfect and always appropriate drum. Paul dark bass and George’s amazing guitar track. The cherry on top, the amazing singing from John and amazing lyrics too.
Masterpiece
Love it...it's a shame the piano was buried so much in the mix.
The same with Paul's backing vocals.
John is unbelievably great on vocals in this cut. After really listening closely he really nailed it.
The greatest piano part is during the bridge. Amazingly great!
I love it how John has re-used the middle of 'Hey Bulldog' bit ( you can talk to me ... ) with the 'Glass Onion' bit ( Oh Yeah ) ... same chords .
My gosh. You're right! I've been listening to the song for years, and never figured that out til now!
He recycled chords alot (All You Need Is Love, Instant Karma, Mind Games).
Wow! Good catch. I never noticed before
In fact, I came up with a theory years ago that they - consciously or subconciously, who knows - integrated the James Bond theme into several of their songs, since the James Bond series became very popular back then.
It's also in "Savoy Truffle".
he uses those chords a lot. not off the top of my head but i know for a fact he uses the same walking progression (chromatic movement of the fifth in a minor chord upwards and also downwards in other instances) on many of the most quintessentially Lennon beatles songs. one that comes to mind is Cry Baby Cry. linear chromatic movement is one of Lennon's defining characteristics as a composer. however yes, in this particular execution it is identical to hey bulldog!
More and more I realize why Paul McCartney is a high level genius. Look at this bass line!
Ringo, is always right on the money! I´m a guitar player but just can´t praise Richie enough.
That piano in there is awesome!
I love that bassline so much
I love drums and tamborine. Anorher great song.
the best bass line ever written
Love this tune, so economical and on point. One of the best tracks because it's a throw back to Pepper and MMT all the way down to the production with full G Martin.
Superb vocals.
Amazing bass
Groovy I tell ya wat
🎸🎸🎸🎸
I believe it was Glass Onion where Ringo first used his Ludwig Hollywood drum kit…natural finish with two rack toms (it’s the same kit during the Get Back/Let it Be session).
Superb!
Great video as always
This song had a lot more potential. I wish it had been an instrumental and more thought to given to sonic innovation.
Nice to hear the original vocals during the Snare/Cymbals overdub! Amazing job with your isolated tracks DLD2 Music!
Great song
I had no idea Ringo was playing two different drum tracks by hand! The first one sounds like it was recorded through the REDD desk, while the other through the newer TG12345 solid-state desk. Also, you can hear the bleed of another vocal by John on some tracks.
Ringo overdubbed snare hits throughout a lot of their catalogue. It really helps to accentuate the drums in mono
I’m pretty sure they didn’t have the TG12345 until mid abbey road
3:52 the Beatles secret weapon: the tambourine
I love the recorder
Did anyone find out how the other half lives yet?
When I find 🥃 🧅, I’ll let you know!
I'm trying, but those bent-back tulips and glass onions are pretty hard to see through
More Sweet Apples has an extended version that I am trying to figure out where the bits came from and wondered if the long take 15 might have been involved but I never heard that anywhere ever
Thank you for posting very much!
There’re definitely different words in one track. I’m not a native speaker, so only can guess.
4:14
You know that we’re as close as can be
It’s just ??????? following call
The walrus was Paul.
The backing track was recorded in 10 Takes, take 10 can be found on UA-cam, I'm not good at understanding
look for it, maybe you understand
More evidence it’s Paul playing the jazz bass in helter skelter
Excellent, love your work! I’ve read that some of the White Album bass lines were recorded with Paul and George (Bass VI) playing in unison - this is the first time I’ve heard both parts so clearly!
He doesn't play bass on this.
@@joaoalvaro6926 the source probably wasn’t totally accurate then
@@mr_bassman6685 Ken Scott, the sound engineer, claims that this is Paul and George in unison on bass. According to him they did the same on While My Guitar Gently Weeps. There's no reason not to believe him.
@@onderov Dude they switched on and off during takes. No telling what made it to the final mix
@@onderov Unfortunately yes there is. This isolated track reveals only one bass playing. Ken Scott said that when they did unison bass tracks, they played together at the same time. All the outtakes of Glass Onion show this to be not the case for this song as they tracked the song as a band: Paul on bass, George on electric guitar, John on acoustic and Ringo on drums. He must have mistaken this for another song (and no, there's no unison bass on While My Guitar either.)
The recorder does it for me
This in my opinion is played by session musicians reading..
that creepy ending🌟
Diminished Chords played Chromatically 🎶👍
OUTRAGE IS
Question: So the drums in part 1 (going by the description timestamps) and part 4 are the same take, right? And same with the overdubbed snare/cymbals in parts 3 and 6? Basically, there are only 2 different drum takes in the final song rather than 4, correct?
I'm a bass player, and have been at it since 1984. I own 7 basses, 5 of them are Fender Jazz basses. If someone asked me why? I'd point them to this song as an example. Love a Fender Jazz bass all day long. Paul is only one of the great players and this is only one of the great songs that the J bass was used on.
This was not recorded with a Jazz Bass. It was a 6 string - Fender Bass VI en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fender_Bass_VI
@@SweetRuss Nope, you are wrong on that, it was a jazz bass. You made the mistake many do about Wikipedia, don't rely on Wikipedia as a valid source. If you read their disclaimer it tells you they are not a trusted source. There is plenty of info on this stating he used his Jazz bass from valid sources that did the research.
@@SweetRuss It was the Jazz bass. Why would Paul bother playing a hybrid bass when he has the real thing? You do know that the Fender IV is right handed? (psst Paul is a left handed.)
at 4:10 .. the guide vocal has a different lyric. Can you tell what it is? "I told you about the walrus and me man, you know that we're as close as can be, (instead of "here's another clue for you all" ... he's singing something different)
ua-cam.com/video/Pcn2ryA9rgM/v-deo.html
@@DLD2Music yeah, that's not it. first, it's an entirely different take. This is an early guide vocal on this track and he has a different lyric for " .. and here's another clue for you all" ... I just can't quite get the words.
@@pkgannon "there's nothing you can [...] that you all", "the walrus was Paul"... sounds like gibberish to me.
Tried to make a dove tail joint !
did you succeed? I'll try it with you
3:03 - Am I the only one who's hearing two shouts at this part?? One high which is on the release but then one higher which we can barely hear.
"but you are not the only one" haha
i think its paul
Thanks so much for your hard work! Wasn't the only Fender VI right handed? I can't find any photos of Paul playing it. Do you think it was John or George?
was george
I have a question about this video. Are these tracks digitally isolated or are they from something from a video game (from the master tapes)? I hear a lot of drums bleeding through the various tracks and it made me curious. Given the Beatles were kind of all doing their own thing during the White Album, I would have expected less of a live sounding recording. I also thought it was interesting Ringo started out playing a pretty tricky kick drum beat in the first verses, but quickly abandoned it.
Glass onion is not in Rock Band
these are from the 2018 5.1 mixes of the white album
@@kurwabobrze633 yes
@@kurwabobrze633 thank you!
I'd bet my last penny that it's an electric Rikenbacher bass on this track. I maybe wrong.
Is a fender , paul use his ricky in 1965/1967, in obladi oblada use the ricky and 1969 in some songs
It's his Fender.
Well, you'd lose your last penny - no chance this was the Rickenbacker. It's the Fender Jazz, most likely. Possibly the Fender VI being played at the same time by John or George, too.
@@VideoAmericanStyle Yeah, I was just listening. It certainly has that "Clank" of the Bass VI. Not at all the tone McCartney went for with his Ric. It could be the Jazz Bass w/flats...with volume and tone knobs turned to the max and Paul playing hard.
@@DLD2Music En Martha my dear tambien es probable que usase el Rick, a menos que con una compresion brutal y el tono cerrado en el jazz. Lo mismo con que en Honey Pie. Es bastante entretenido tratar de discernir que bajo o guitarra usaron ya que ni ellos se acuerdan, y para colmo grabaron distintas partes o superpuestas como en el caso de Back in the ussr.
I don't think Paul ever touched the Bass VI. And now I know why - it was right-handed! That means if he were to play it, he would have to restring it upside down. That probably wouldn't go over with George or John.
its just jazz bass overdubs. my bad
@@DLD2Music Not overdubbed. Only one bass on this track, the Fender Jazz played by Paul.
No, It’s the Rickenbacker
@@gloomsdoom649 There's no way you can make the Rickenbacker SLAP like that!
@@elirosen1391 What settings would you need to make a jazz bass sound like this?
Why/who would block one track, i.e., mellotron/orchestra. Why do they do that?
It was youtube, because that audio is protected by apple
Sounds like a Fender VI . Compare this sound to John playing bass on Helter Skelter.
If you're speaking about the released version of Helter Skelter, judging by the studio conversation in between takes, it's more likely Paul on his Jazz Bass rather than John, despite the 50th anniversary deluxe set book claim.
Ummm...why would Paul play the right-handed Fender IV?
1966 Fender Jazz Bass was played by Paul.
there is most likely a 6 string bass...
but who was it??... john or george
I just put the type of bass used
@@DLD2Music "Bass (Fender Jazz And Fender VI): Paul Mccartney". That's what I was commenting on. Anyway, there's only one bass on the recording and it's Paul's Fender Jazz. If anyone could point out where the IV is I'd love to know.
Baiting crazy fans with song references and clues. It would come back in tragic ways.
I dont think he is baiting crazy fans, he is just referencing songs that he made in the past along with some of Paul's. No baiting just harmless referencing.
