- What Beatles songs did George Harrison play bass on?
The Beatles were a four-man rock combo. George Harrison played Lead Guitar, John Lennon played Rhythm Guitar, Paul McCartney played Electric Bass Guitar and Ringo Starr played Drums. In 1962-1964 this lineup was seldom deviated from. Keyboards (if needed) on early Beatles records were usually played by producer George Martin. However, by 1965 other instruments were more often required.
On which songs did George play bass?
He's basically a multi-instrumentalist
All The Beatles are... although drums, triangle and Jaws Harp are known more as "SOME instruments". In fact MOST musicians can play more than just the one instrument they specialise in.
I think George played bass on Golden Slumbers , excellent sound
2:23 - GH side profile brings to mind another bass hero of mine, Bill Wyman.
Paul played bass on "Hey Jude". George only "plays" it in the promo video.
Where you there

Obviously not, but Paul played the bassline according to the Beatles Bible website + I've listened to the isolated bass track and noticed that George's fret position in the video does not match what I'm hearing on the track.
@@kennet7837 dono, that bible has been known to be wrong quite a bit. Hey Jude had a very easy bass lines. Hard to figure why Paul would even want to play it given his ego. I don't know if the bible got Old Brown Shoe as a George Bass, but Harrison did one heck of a job on the bass with that number! A counter bass to the guitar that kept tempo with bass drum....genius. The Beatles were very lucky to have George and Paul who could switch off. Big drop off with Lennon, but it is about expression when he played anything. George waisting almost 4 years on that sitar set him back 2 years. You could hear the rust and yeah, good reason while Paul did the taxman solo. George was back by late 68 and like fine wine by the end. Everyone loves The Ends trade offs. The genius is in the finally... And in the end... Thats silky and velvet.
@@crazyantny9161 Paul had no problem playing simple basslines. He knew exactly what served the song.
@@kennet7837 well, of course. He was the bassist :) just nice knowing that you are capable of having 2 melodic players who could keep with the bass drum and play great guitar. An asset to any band. I've been trying to be a Beatle since the 70s. Guess that's a lost dream, thank God, 😆
What I like about both Paul and George was their ability to play chromatic runs on whatever the instrument. Paul had some awesome solo chromatic runs on piano post Beatle and I've heard Georges special slide touch with a chromatic run with one pluck. The both had impeccable timing
They were all musical masterminds in there own way you can't take anything away from them
In The Beatles: Get Back, George improvises a bass line as they're practicing Maxwell's Silver Hammer (almost sure that's the cut), and it's fantastic.
Great bass tracks by George!! Oh Darling is one of them, really excellent job.
Love this!! So thorough…
George only mimed the bass on the Hey Jude film clip. Paul also plays the bass on Birthday and George plays a Jazz bass on Maxwell Silver Hammer (the pics where George is weaing sunglasses.) George plays the Fender VI on Oh Darling.
It’s generous to even call call Stu a bass player.
That's a myth
I miss when you would voice over these videos!
Who is voicing this video? It sounds like a sophisticated computer voice. the intonation is generally good, but not fully coherent and human. Would much prefer a human voice personally!
Amazed how these commentaries seem lifted from Paul's interviews. Guess it is settled. Paul's word is canon. Though more than a few biographers HAVE WARNED FANS that he's not always trustworthy in these matters.
I grew up with the Beatles and Elvis Presley
Like, how? They lived next door?
They're talking about songwriters, lyricists and musicians here so Elvis doesn't count.
The 1968 rosewood Fender Telecaster guitar mentioned in this video was identical to one that was given to Elvis Presley around the same time The Beatles received a handful of guitars from Fender. Elvis return the 10 lb rosewood guitar because it was too heavy. The six string Fender bass The Beatles used is the same model used by Fleetwood Mac bassist Peter Green.
@@patbrennan6572Elvis may not have written any songs, but that doesn't mean he wasn't a musician. He was a professional guitarist and pianist. He dabbled with the drums, accordion, bass guitar, and the ukulele.
I grew up with Suicidal Tendencies, Dead Kennedies, Black Flag and Minor Threat etc.
Surely did George great job on Maxwell's and Oh! Darling
That was my guess before watching this video.
John played six-string bass on Back in the USSR. George and Paul played a four-string on it.
I looked up a bass tab for rock ‘n’ roll music Beatles version George was playing very technical bass lines on love me do Paul was only playing roots and fiths
as a bassist we don't want guitarist playing bass anyways
Personally, I think george played bass on paperback writer instead paul since John played his gretsch guitar and that guitar is called as John's paperback writer guitar.
George played bass on the early takes/demos not on the final recording. He played some guitar but most of the guitar was Paul.
Nope, it's definitely Paul on the final product.
Everything about the bass part makes me think that it is Paul for sure especially the playing on the higher notes.
"Hey Mr Bassman" ....."Play the F'k'n Bass" - Bad News.
golden slumbers, yep. which else ?
helter skelter, it's john isn't it ? to be verified
John played bass on the first slow version, Paul played on the final album version, despite what the box set booklet said.
Very interesting!
In retrospect, George should have been The Beatles' Bass player!
George was a lousy improvisor. Paul was a much better improvisor!
*Promo sm* 😁
George was a pretty good bassist. John not as good. Paul was not bad.
Paul was best bassist ever.
James Paul McCartney died in car crash on September 11 1966 and was replaced by William (Billy). This is the truth no matter what!
They were by their own admission only average musicians, session musicians were used for recordings.
If you are referring to the Beatles, that’s not true. Just look at the Get Back documentary.
The Beatles were seasoned players because they had been playing in clubs etc for. years and adapted to studio playing which really becomes evident on Rubber Soul and Revolver and beyond.
The only session musicians used where in the early days for some of Ringo's drum parts only
The beatles were the only super group that played all the instruments themselves. The only exception to this were early replacement drummers, piano contributions from George Martin, credited classical musicians and Billy Preston who was actually part of the band at that point.
Now that's just silly!
First of all, George should have been The Beatles Bass player!
George Harrison was a terrible soloist! George drove Geoff Emerick up a wall doing take after take trying to get a good Guitar solo out of George! He was great at playing chords.
Regarding "She Said She Said", Paul McCartney plays Bass during the rehearsal which is where the conversation is taken from.
Paul stormed out of the session before the band recorded any takes.
George Harrison plays Bass on She Said She Said! It's obvious because the playing is very basic and rudimentary.
I was stunned to find out, but not really surprised, that it's John and Paul playing Guitars on "Rain"!
George only contributes a Harmony Vocal.
I am sure Paul regrets not insisting that he play Guitar. Paul's an natural Guitarist.
George improved as a Guitar soloist. His solo on "Let It Be", Phil Spector produced album version, is on my top ten greatest list.
George could out play Paul on anything bass or guitar
Bull!
Listen to early takes of The Beatles recordings and you'll hear some atrocious Guitar solos from George Harrison!
