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
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
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. :)
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!
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
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'"
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 ?
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
Years ago Playboy magazine used to publish once a year, a list of all the best musicians. The voting was sent out to all the greatest players of the day. Those who played guitar voted for guitarist, those who played bass voted for bassist, and so on. It was a vote by ones peers. I was always amazed that every year, Paul McCartney was voted #1 by a huge margin (2nd place had way less numbers), by the likes of Charlie Mingus, Entwistle, John Paul Jones, Jack Bruce, Roger Waters and more. I'm not a bass player, but they must have heard things that I never appreciated. The comments were praising his innovative style, complexity, memorable riffs, use of counter point, all while being able to sing harmonies with the lads, and the like.
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.
@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.
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.
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
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.
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.
@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
@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
@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.
your right I play a beatle bass and that was the first lick I learned to play , all his bass songs are very different and a lot of chord changes , my eyes still hurt from watching my fingers hit the right notes
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 is one in a trillion people. People like this only come once every like million years. I think he is the greatest musician to ever live.
I love your comment.
His mates were no slouches,either.South Side rocks,bro.

hats off to paul for singing and playing these bass lines at the same time. damn he's good
The Tambourine and drums are sublime. One of the best intros to a song of all time.
As is the whole song.
that is one of the fantastic things about Paul... very few can play one melody and sing in another.... amazing!
67 and still rocking. God bless him.
80 and STILL rocking!
@@misaghyeganeh434083 and still rocking!
Paul, the most popular and talented person in the world. We all love you Paul.
It comes easy to him, it doesn't! It's called talent and hard work, the GOVERNOR!
One talented dude! I can't think of anyone that could top this man with the talent he has!
no shit. his 1st solo LP entitled
"McCartney" is the best. he plays every instrument. no others are involved at all in writing, playing,

best rock n roll bass player ever
Una de las canciones mas perfectas que ha dado la historia del rock de la mano de este genio! lo dificil de la sencillez!
Can't wait to see a living legend on the Australian Tour in October yeahhhh
Love this show! Shame he stopped doing Day Tripper...
He first performed this song 45 years ago.Truely amazing!
such a hard line on bass and paul still mange to sing as if he is not playin..awesome!
Great to see the appreciation from the audience , sewn into the beatles phenomena and genius
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. :)
Paul's value to HUMANITY will never be surpassed
My favorite Beatle singing my fave Beatles song ♥ Sir Paul doesn't ever change ♥
Long live Paul McCartney! He still sings this song the way he did when he was a Beatle.
I'm so lucky, i went to two of his concerts.
It blowed my mind, a 70 years old guy with a 3 hours concert.
just amazing
super hard to play that bassline and sing at the same time
I agree but he played it so often, I guess he doesn't mind... :D
easy
aggreed
I would find it hard to play the Tambourine
Most of his basslines are hard to play and sing at same time lol...
legends never die and gods are eternal. Paul is just both...
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!

simple rock tune that is simply one of the all time greats!
PAUL STILL HAS THE FINGERS TO HIT THOSE NOTES, CONSTANT BASS LINE, JT FROM MEX
So nice song. Brings good memories of a wonderful age. Come on, Paul!
STUNNING ... # 1 EVER ❤️
Exactly right. He can do it because he's Paul McCartney and I'm happy to just listen. The man is talented and talent isn't given to everyone.
If Beatles had stayed together and had this kind of equipment back when they were touring. They could hear each other. Playing awesome sound
excellent version... pretty tight, minimalistic and thoroughly effective.
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'"
Fenomenal! Vida longa a Paul MacCartney
どうやったらこのリフを弾きながら歌えるのか・・・永遠の課題です。

Try playing bass while singing Silly Love Songs or Goodnight Tonight.
This ones actually not that hard compare to Goodnight Tonight.
I tried both. I did a bit for this, but its impossible for me to do Goodnight Tonight
I love how paul goes "She was a daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay trippa"
and being the most talented musician alive
That was probably the first time Paul ever heard himself playing that song.

He is incredible!
best riff ever.
First record I ever bought, 1965, 14 years old, seems like another lifetime ago.
Alan Paul and still a fantastic song.

Key to Beatles success is not just great songs & lyrics but brilliant riffs.
Paul’s a National Treasure in every country
Really...badasss bass Sir Paul genius!!
Mi querido PAUL MCCARTNEY...eres GENIAL!!!..
I Really Love Paul's Bass Line n' his bass. 🌹👌

Paul bass is ICONIC as hell isn't it. Can't imagine Paul playing any other bass!

LOVE THE GREAT BASS LINES OF THIS SONG..AND IS MACCA LIVE
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
How can an almost 70 year old man still rock everybody's asses?!There's only one answer,he has to be Paul McCartney
I was just wondering recently what would he have done with the bass. A Macca museum would be a cool idea.
The Ultimate Beatles tribute band.
Paul Mcartny is the lead singer of the Beatles!
+Aiden McDonald it was actually John Lennon but okay
+Adolf Hitler Paul actually wrote more of the songs under the tittle Lennon/McCartney hence why he tried to get it changed to McCartney/Lennon
many people were wondering about that, and thanks to you, they finally know.
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.
Lo máximo Paul!!!!
I do completely agree with ccbgable and all the rest of you all,long live Paaauuulll!!!
merci paul pour toutes tes belles chansons
Notice how McCartney shifts to an octave down at the end.
that's signature P.Mc.
Wonder how many memories flow though his head when he pulls an old one out of the catalog.
listen to that Bass line, amazing.
I hope he comes to vegas and plays this!!
very nice to my heart and ears・・・
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! YEAH! You GO Paul! Woooo hoooooo!
yeah i know but saying that playing the song on the bass and singing it in the same time is mindblowing is such a close-minded thing.
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 like how he switched to the lower register for the outro.

@Okiemom50 actually most of the bass lines were played by Carol Kaye.
@paulietrev1 I totally agree. He's not just a great musician. He's a great human being as well.
Very very nice
Dear God:
Please, don't lead Paul to the heaven yet, we need here still!
A Beatle Fan
Great memory, folks
To play the bass and sing that song, live. Is a tricky business. Look, listen and learn. I rest my case!
SUPER Badass bassline~~~~~~~
your right I play a beatle bass and that was the first lick I learned to play , all his bass songs are very different and a lot of chord changes , my eyes still hurt from watching my fingers hit the right notes
You're.
fresh like ever! YES!!!!
PAUL Forever!!!!!!!!!!!!
fantastic
@derek4ur Yeah Paul is GREAT, his bass playing is often overlooked because of his singing, and his guitar playing even more-so! GREAT musician!
@JRGrange25 Yeah you can start on the low E (4th string open) and go from there. I won't sound quite like the record but pretty darn close.
best song ever
John and George are waiting in heaven for Ringo and Paul. They want to have a heaven jam session and it can't be done with 2 Beatles missing
te espero en Mexico el ocho de mayo
Great American Ballpark , Cincinnati , Aug 4 2011 . There Ill be

i think grace slick said it best ..... anyone over 30 singing rock n roll looks just silly but paul is still belting them out so good for hiM!
