And the funny thing is, he only did it to fill a void for a complete band, so it's not really his favourite instrument and still he nailed it every time. In the meantime he was still improving on every other instrument.

i refuse to believe Paul played bass on Oh!

@@jewjitsu72 They had 2 Fender Jazz Basses....a righty & lefty. There are a couple of pics of George with the righty. I'm thinking it's George with that bass. Of course it's overdriven, but whenever you hear a "clean" note it has a bit more on the low end than the Bass VI did. It sounds like a standard, thicker bass string to my ear.
it's really difficult to tell which bass is which because mccartney just sounds like mccartney. some are clearly identifiable as rickenbacker by listening, the tone being unmistakable...but others are not so easy and there really is no definitive information on the subject. depending on the recording techniques, DI vs mic'd cab, amount of compression used, pick or fingers, george playing vs paul, which pickup and eq settings are being used...there are so many different ways that each of these basses can produce tones, there is bound to be a lot of crossover where one sounds like the other, etc, etc....especially with the same person playing them in the same style with the same attack.

I will forever say this is one of the best albums for the bass guitar. Paul's playing is never that complex or flashy, yet it always manages to stand out somehow, and elevates each song in unique and beautiful ways. It's rock n roll bass at its finest.
they recorded live (with additional overdubs later) so theres always something bleeding through, which i think adds character and some depth to a lot of the tones
Paul’s bass is so melodic it kills me! He puts exactly with the base needs to be behind the song. The funny part is? If you don’t need to even mute all the other instruments and vocals because his base playing in Abbey Road is so pronounced and so important that you hear it all the way through the album. My favorite bass player ever. And of course song writer..

I gotta say it right now, the bass is the most underrated instrument out there. I almost never hear anyone say they play it when I ask. I absolutely adore it, it’s therapeutic to play honestly.
@Leon Anderson It's a form of notation that shows the finger position on each string. It's an easy way to learn a song on bass or guitar, and also removes the need to learn a song by ear.

The more you learn about music the less impressive a lot of bands become but with The Beatles the more you learn the more impressive they become. Untouchable. Master craftsmen.
now if we can just make a guitar-only version, a drums-only version, and so on, they can all be played at once and people can get around youtube's copyright rules
Remember that crazy Flaming Lips album with all the different instruments on different discs. It was always all phasey from starting the discs slightly off time.
My favourite Beatles album and my birthday present when I turned 6 years old on March 8 1970. Unforgettable and amazing music. Possibly the album I have played the most times in life ...and in the end I ended up picking up the bass as my instrument. I hope their music will live on and inspire so many more generations to come.
Anthony Brogan cmon man do you really need to be Victor Wooten or whoever the fuck when playing for the Beatles. Plus a lot of the bass on this album are very creative. Not technical, but cmon man does everything need to be? I Want You bass line is fucking great and super original. Need I name more? I’m not even a Beatles fan really.

The only thing I know about "flat" is when I have to change a tire. But something didn't sound right to me either.
I think it doesn’t matter at all
Aka: Paul plays bass while the other Beatles practice in the other room.
This is all big clues in the "John, George and Ringo are dead" theory.
YES
Hmm yes John and George just might be dead

Broke: Paul is dead.
Woke: Paul got sent to an alternate universe where _everyone else_ is dead and this album is from that universe.
and the album sold 69 more times than the original

18:25 - that bass note is smooth
Paul's bass lines were so melodic that you can 100% tell what was happening in the song just from listening to the bass line.
Not really. Here Comes the Sun isn't like that, for one.
Diamond Jim Murphy he didn’t have melodic bass lines? Of course he did.
roomandaroom I didn’t say they weren’t melodic, just that you can’t always tell what’s happening in the rest of the song from the bassline alone.
the leaking from other instruments definitely helped too
Diamond Jim Murphy Here Comes The Sun is the most recognisable for me
So this just randomly appeared in everyone else's recommendations too? I mean I'm not complaining but
Eight hours apart. Ok den.
Amazing
If we all got it recommended, it wasnt random
I can’t tell if a lot of people have your pfp, if I just happen to see you everywhere on UA-cam, or I’m just stupid and this is the first time I’ve seen yoi
Why the frick does everybody have the jc denton avatar now
I want you (she's so heavy) could literally be just the bass track is amazing by itself Paul is one of the most talented bass players around.
I gotta say it right now, the bass is the most underrated instrument out there. I almost never hear anyone say they play it when I ask. I absolutely adore it, it’s therapeutic to play honestly.
Fucc man you just made learning Abbey Road on bass that much easier
Lydia Ziad you realize how simple it is
For real though XD
I guarantee you there are bass tabs for every song on the album.
yeah now all that's left is memorizing every dang note :(
@Leon Anderson It's a form of notation that shows the finger position on each string. It's an easy way to learn a song on bass or guitar, and also removes the need to learn a song by ear.
Do you mean: *paul playing bass for 40+ minutes in 1969 (ft. george harrison)* ?
Yea, that's better
Yes
Paul and george playing for 40 minutes
Amberdawn Sese more like Paul and George playing bass for 40+ min in 1969
or even, Paul playing bass for +40 minutes, in 1969 (featuring george)
This the most perfected perfection that was ever perfected.
😌❣
2:32
Paul: Oops, I made a bit of mistake there, but nobody's going to notice, the audience doesn't care that much about the bass.
50 years later:
So is this like the opposite of Paul is dead? Everybody except Paul is dead?
It'll be the case soon...

43:44 Love how he makes a slight mistake but carries on. That’s why I prefer older music coz it was more straight up.
I was surprised to hear there're many more such places where Paul either missess the note or forgets what he has to play but recovers instantly
@@alx8439 Well the timestamped instance was actually George. George played bass on a handful of songs on Abbey Road.
@@Kpengie i always forget george played bass on a couple of songs
You like older music, because they made mistakes?
@@noahmay7708 it sounds better because humans are not computers that make everything sound too precise and robotic. It is often the imperfections that give something ' character'
We haven't unlocked the rest of the band members we just have Paul
You gotta play the whole album without making a mistake and then it goes to a bonus track where you have to duel one of the member to unlock them.
I still can’t unlock George.

that bass line h o t
I already loved the song... then hearing isolated bass made it so much better!
I had no idea how fucking wild it is, it's incredible.
I was in the middle of I Want You when it paused for an ad. That shit should be illegal.
This video: only bass.
My brain: NO
The bass is not important ...
Paul : O B S E R V E ~•~•~~~•~~~
L.L.L.,brother.
It could be argued that a band is only as good as its rhythm section
Whoever says bass isn't as important as guitar or its for talentless hacks is a fucking moron. Yeah you can't be a fuck boy and play Wonderall or Soul Sister or whatever at parties. But. 🤷♂️
Who says bas isn't important. Is literally the essentials of a rock song
@@KorderoSPL I've seen jagoffs make comments over how useless it is. I think CollegeHumor made a video about it too awhile back.
That bass on "I Want You" is the stuff dreams are made of.
My favorite Paul performance, ever, as it's really spontaneous, wild, yet locked-in. Love those bends in the second verse...
The bass on Something is something else. No pun intended, this is really one of the best basslines I've ever heard.

The more you learn about music the less impressive a lot of bands become but with The Beatles the more you learn the more impressive they become. Untouchable. Master craftsmen.
Man. Put Paul as the #1 bassist on rolling stone. What skill.
now if we can just make a guitar-only version, a drums-only version, and so on, they can all be played at once and people can get around youtube's copyright rules
Then just play them all on four different devices and you have yourself a song.
Vocals would get detected by UA-cam's copyright system, and guitar probably would too. I would also have to align them because I made this video weird
Outstanding move
Or you could just pay people for their hard work
Remember that crazy Flaming Lips album with all the different instruments on different discs. It was always all phasey from starting the discs slightly off time.
Friend: What are you listening to?
Me: The Beatles... well... it’s actually just Paul.
Paul didn't play all the bass on Abbey Road
subg88 Yeah, I know. However, for the majority of their work he was on bass, making him the most recognizable as “the bass player” in the Beatles.
"Oh so one of his solo albums?"
"Umm, not exactly"
And a very quiet ringo
The Beatles only John isn't there and Ringo is very quiet for some reason
My favourite Beatles album and my birthday present when I turned 6 years old on March 8 1970. Unforgettable and amazing music. Possibly the album I have played the most times in life ...and in the end I ended up picking up the bass as my instrument. I hope their music will live on and inspire so many more generations to come.
I love oh! darling’s bass🥵
"ABBEY ROAD BUT ITS JUST BASS"
*hears the drum track*
And even some guitar tracks 😂😂
That's because they used filters to remove the rest of the track. That's vary hard to do.
@@the_real_beefchunks welp then he shoulda called it "ABBEY ROAD BUT THE BASS IS LOUDER THAN THE REST OF THE INSTRUMENTS"
@@the_real_beefchunks no, it really is just the bass track. anything else coming through is bleed-through
Bands used to record the song in the same room, not over the internet. There's gonna be some bleed through.
When you’re listening to The Beatles on your phone but only one speaker works
Somewhere a voice is carrying on the wind with "epic" and "slap like now."
Great for pissing off the roommates after they wake me up super early with their music
Now release a version with just drums, just guitar, and just vocals so I can listen to them all at the same time

@@bryanttyrin well I would suggest trying that one last because it seems really challenging from my pov
PM's bass lines are another musical sheet all by themselves, i.e., a song in the song. This is why bass is my fav instrument nowadays.
I want you (she’s so heavy) is a masterpiece by the beatles
Listening to the bass alone makes you realize even more how unique these songs are, and what bass playing is all about - thank you
Sounds to me like he has to tighten those strings. He's good but nothing special
@@anthonybrogan390 I'm thinking you're probably not a musician
@@anthonybrogan390 are you implying that he's out of tune because all that tightening the strings would do would be to put his bass out of tune.
1UpProduct nah there’s more to it than that.
Anthony Brogan cmon man do you really need to be Victor Wooten or whoever the fuck when playing for the Beatles. Plus a lot of the bass on this album are very creative. Not technical, but cmon man does everything need to be? I Want You bass line is fucking great and super original. Need I name more? I’m not even a Beatles fan really.

@@darkangelmichael6148 I still do that with my folder's rubber band, and I hold my ear close to hear the notes better. My ever-present friend and table neighbor thinks I'm "autistic". He thinks bass and drums are useless smh.
i’m only two songs in so far but i’m already shook to my core. i had no idea that the bass on ‘something’ was that goddamn funky
Georgia Cook George originally said he thought it was too busy (George wrote the song btw)...but its so well mixed that it really works
@@Compassiron1 i honestly couldn't tell it was something in the way for like 2 minutes. The bass by itself sounds so different than the rest of the song, yet it works so well together.
I had no clue what the bassline of a Beatles song was like
But it's not funky
And freaking hard to play! Have u ever tried slides on bass?
Come Together is oddly unsettling when it’s just bass, and faintly audible drums
Just chanced across this and no idea why it has never popped up in my suggestions before. Have always thought McCartney went under the radar a bit as a bass player. The bass line for Something is quite possibly my favourite bass line ever and to hear it in isolation is a total joy. Brilliant. Thank you
