Nothing makes me wanna give up guitar more, than those awful repetitive guitar app ads. “WAIT YOURE PLAYING GUITAR?? WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?” Have mercy please it’s the fifth time today.
Gothic Fishsticks I hate those ads
I searched for a guitar on Google shopping once.
Once
You can turn off personalized ads, just a quick heads up
I scrolled down at the end of the video to check out the comments and read this as the exact same ad began to play...

Upright jazz bass solo from the audience perspective:
"What just happened? Everyone stopped playing all of a sudden. Why's everyone looking at the guy with the big violin? What's that flappy clacky noise? Did they throw a live fish on the stage? Oh, it's the big violin guy, he's doing something up there on his violin. I kind of hear notes, maybe? Are they actual notes? I'm so confused. Oh, whew, the music just started again."
They need to throw a Dean markley pick up under those strings, it's 2020 already!
Lol lol
"Flappy clacky" will forever be my mouth-noise for bass melody. I'm officially retiring "doodley doodley."

To tie this all together: Paul McCartney never played a bass solo.

Agree, from a bassist POV and a guitarist pov
There are plentyyyyy of bassplayers that can play much better solos than pretty much every big metal guitarplayer, my favorite bassplayer being Jeff Berlin, who has incredible chops and a great sense of melody.
@Carter Buske i mean in the metal community yes. If you compare him to other songwriters of his era, not so much. He was really good. He wasn't a musical genius.
@@DonHaka eh, id say he wasnt a genius but i think he was a very good musician, his technical skills were great and his knowledge on music theory and harmony were quite good

I am so glad someone speaks up for Ringo's drum skills. He is really a great drummer.
Amazing drummer
The last half of I Want You (She's So Heavy) is an achievement in drumming
Niko Ozden I love the clip where a reporter asks the Fab Four “is Ringo the best drummer in the world?” And McCartney replies “He’s not even the best drummer in the Beatles...”
@@MidlifeRenaissanceMan That's fake.
Gavan Borgias you are correct. It was Jasper Carrott. Some quick googling revealed the truth. I do remember hearing the bit as a kid. It was Jasper playing Lennon, referring to Paul’s ability to play most things.
I totally agree about the Beatles. They are very appropriately rated. They revolutionized so much.
Same. I don't love their stuff but listening to them compared to other 60s and 70s artists they were ahead of their time. They totally deserve their spot in the hall of fame for me.
Brian Wilson laughs at this
@@luispereztasso Man I'm gonna get slapped for this but I have tried and tried and TRIED to enjoy The Beach Boys but apart from a handful of standout tracks, they ain't even in my top 20 of the 60's. Sorry Brian Wilson. :(
So tru
Me too. Although I've been a fan since I was 8 and they were my first rock band so maybe I'm a little biased 😊 but I do think it's become popular to trash the Beatles and I think that's cheap and shows a lack of perspective.

"Bass solos are the worst"
NIB and Dance of Eternity would like a word with you
(Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth, Orion Bass Solo. Also most of Primus.
He made the distinction of UPRIGHT JAZZ bass solos, he said he likes electric bass solos more than upright bass solos..
@@angadgianirogers1844 "Also most of Primus"....you just proved his point!
If you're talking about the solo in the start of NIB, I just don't understand it honestly. It feels so out of place at the front of the track to me, and doesn't really make sense with the rest.
Love the rest of the bass in that song though, always tons of fun to play, but I tend to opt out of the intro
Dude he meant upright jazz bass
I think Beatles suffers a bit from the "Seinfeld isnt funny" trope: when dozens upon dozens upon dozens of other world famous acts copied very essential elements youve invented, it can be a bit hard to see why the original is so special, if you dont realize they were indeed the originators, because it will "sound just like any ol' pop or rock" to you. The Beatles basically singlehandedly (with the help of their producer George Martin of course) completely re-invented pop music over an astonishingly short amount of time (I mean, their entire incredibly diverse career fits nicely in a single decade and with room to spare). The Beatles cannot be overrated, because it is impossible to rate too high the massive influence and impact they have had on *ALL* other pop and rock music that has come since. Yes, ALL. No other band can come close to that.
That might be why I'm not really absolutely struck by their music everytime I listen to them. However, how Sammy G says that there is a song that sways back and forth between 3/4 and 4/4 makes me think that I'll enjoy more of the Beatles if I'd dig deeper!
Finally, someone that agrees with both the seinfeld and the Beatles thing.

Bass solos are the worst:

"Bass solos are the worst"
Al Cisneros/Sleep would like to have a very low, slow, HEAVY word with you.
Ooeh sonic titans bass part. Pfffffff man so sick
Davie504 will deal with him soon
@Hyldýpið As are all the drum parts.
George Harrison was the best musician amongst the Beatles, change my mind.
Edit: I feel I should explain I believe each Beatle is worthy of recognition in some sense, they all were amazing musicians with very diverse skills, George wrote my favourite songs from them and was extremely talented, but to say he was a better musician than Paul or Ringo is a disservice to the whole group and their legacy as a band, good job everyone you did change my mind a bit.
What could George play that Paul couldn't?
I think we can agree that Ringo was the worst
Conor Vasey He's really only known for Something and Here Comes the Sun as far as the Beatles go. If you're referring to his solo career vs Paul's I can't argue either side as I'm not familiar with them. However I will say that in my opinion George was not nearly the best musician in the Beatles. He wasn't even the best guitar player - Paul had him beat at that. Drive My Car, Taxman, Back in the USSR ... those are all Paul guitar solos. Paul had a much greater vocal range and was capable of a wider array of sounds, like the powerful near-screams of Oh Darling to the delicate and reassuring tones of Golden Slumbers. He was also an incredible bassist, of course.
TL;DR: Paul güd
Can't change your mind. He was.
@@gabrielmastel8673 George Harrison can play 27 instruments, he's not only know for two songs, he wrote both of The Beatles greatest songs in While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Something, and also Paul and John were so arrogants they wouldn't let George have more songs in the albums, that's why he grew tired of the band. If you say that Paul is a better guitar player than George than you only listened to the songs you mention, even Paul said he couldn't play like George. For your informantion Drive my car lead were composed by George, Back in the ussr solo has 4 notes in it, not impressive, Something's solo is one the greatest solos ever written. If you had more knowledge you would respect George more.
John entwistles solos are epic :”)
"The Beatles aren't overrated, they're appropriately rated"
Such a Canadian opinion ;) I have to entirely agree though. The jump in just 5 years from the early stuff to like, Sgt. Peppers was incredible, they really did change everything about pop music/classic rock. I don't think they're UNDERrated, like some might say, but to say they're overrated seems like people are missing the point a bit
nah i dont like them, but that doesnt mean they suck to my ears, just that pink floyd was 100000x better lol
The problem I have with this, as a big Beatles fan, is that it's really Bob Dylan that caused all of this. You name any huge late 60s early 70s songwriter, and Dylan was their main inspiration, almost always. There would be no late Beatles without them. No Hendrix songs, No Leonard Cohen, No David Bowie, etc.
I think people assume Bob Dylan was just this acoustic protest guy but that's like saying The Beatles are the guys that sang "Love Me Do" and did nothing else, basically. If you listen to the THREE albums he put out between 1965-1966 you see where the huge change in music came. It was such a big deal, he was booed everywhere for changing. It was before its time, except artists loved it.
Speaking of "Love Me Do"", while The Beatles were singing that... he was singing Masters of War. I want people to seriously compare those two songs. Even in his acoustic period, he stood ahead of everyone. The Beatles talk about how Dylan changed them so much. He's the whole reason bands change every year or two, also. Dylan started all that. Made the first music video, I believe the first song over five minutes on the pop charts and radio. First rockumentary. First everything. He is the seed for the 60s boom in songwriting.
K C and people are still mad that he won the Nobel prize in literature. He was super important to music, lately it seems like it’s cool to hate on him though. People seem to undersell him, but this is a good explanation of how different he was in his time period from other people.
Finally, someone who recognizes the superiority of the CD, you have the best audio quality in a portable package, you support the artist and you get a physical copy of the music.
With booklet art inside, lyrics and credits. Also something you can give as a gift.
I buy CD's because of the physical medium and I also rip the CD's to mp3 so I have a backup if there's a fire or somthing, and I can still listen to music portabley
Yes, CD's are best. But my favorite albums I have on vinyl, because... well... don't know why, but I like it
@@AllanGildea One of my least favorite things about CDs is how often this is not true. Vinyl owners are more likely to get those goodies because it's a bigger package meant as a collector's item.
NoEsUnUA-camr I think the fun thing about vinyl for me is its analogue nature, there’s something satisfying about the disc itself generating the sounds
As a bass player..
*jamming hard in the mix* “hey you should have a bass solo”
...suddenly I can’t play anything.
We are bass players, we choose not to be the center of attention, don’t make us be one. Also nice Warwick sticker on the laptop.
Wait but like the bass is the center of attention. The drums just project what the bass is playing
If someone just loves to be in the middle of attention, he's most likely not a bassist
If you don't want to that's fair but there are a lot of bass players that love to solo and stuff, I am too a bass player and I'm not a fan of soloing too but there will be people
My favorite part of my CD collection is being able to scan through them and find albums that I otherwise would have forgotten about. It’s such a treat.
Fun video. For the "Beatles are [rated]" part, there is a simple test -- longevity. The band put out music for around 7 years ago, disbanded 50 years ago (!), still sell millions, can support 10 years (1) of a fantastic Cirque de Soleil show, have a new Peter-Jackson documentary coming out, etc., etc. I don't get angry at people who can't stand the Beatles -- it doesn't affect me or the worldwide opinion that no other band has done as much. The best comment I saw in this thread is the one about listening beyond just the singles. 7 years or so, 200+ songs in that short time, many are classics, and those classics also crowd out the "album cuts" which are fantastic. But if it's not your thing; no problem. Those of us "in the know" just think you're missing out.
*Looks at Title*
Honestly I am primarily a Bass player and even I agree with that haha, but I really love Bass soloists like Davie or Charles, giving Bass a whole new respect. I look forward to seeing this one. We all have our interesting opinions.

Crossing The Ocean On A Toy Frog oh bro I hate that guy, don’t get me wrong he’s good at the bass but is content is absolutely horrible
@@joshfromjuniorstudios I totally agree with you. Even though I like his playing, I find his constant begging for subs and likes unbearable
@@atomicpunk4034 Well, i don't mind, because it's heavy sarcasm, but I understand it doesn't appeal to everyone
Tbh I just love when he complains in a good way
As a bassist, i apreciate much more a great and melodic bass line than a regular line and a time for a solo. I believe the bass is all about being really criative through the song, giving nice mood, making it warm to listen, when you stop and think: wow so good.
When it is about jazz, Paul Chambers solos using a bow on Coltrane's album Stardust inspires me a lot.
YES! Love the Beatles. A new tradition my wife and I have is to listen to all albums and non-album singles more or less in order whenever we drive from our home in Edmonton to visit her family in Manitoba. Keep up the great work man! Awesome show.
Cliff Burton's ghost is coming to haunt.
The most iconic line of the 20th century, "Bass Solo, Take 1"
Interestingly enough it actually wasn't his first take.
@@colethegrizzlybear9707 agreed!
I was out in the jungle with some local guides looking for the lost city of gold in South America a few years back. Out of nowhere, we heard drums in the distance. The local guides looked very worried. I asked them if we were in any danger. “Yes,” they said. I asked why. Their reply: “Next comes bass solo.”

I’m with you on the CD thing... Mostly because I think the artists took time to craft those records for a reason. Listening to randomized singles that pop up on a streaming platform doesn’t take you on any sort of musical journey. It becomes the audio version of mindless channel surfing.
Thats why when I recently moved over to Streaming, I pretty much listen to albums exclusively, even when listening to new artists. I don't enjoy random playlists too much.
I think random songs that pop up are good for discovering new artists but overall I agree with you. There are albuns that tell a story as the songs are played and you can't have the experience if you jumping around the songs.
And I think CDs are really good for personal stuff. Because they're a physical thing you can actually carry with yourself and you have to care for it not to be scratched... I think it adds to the emotional part of it, the story of the CD, you know?
@@vDomMusic I think random playlists are ok for discovering new bands
@@express999snsd Oh yeah I completely agree, I still buy CDs and Vinyl for my favourite artists, especially the smaller ones! I mostly moved to streaming for when I'm in work which is where I do the bulk of my listening which is a little sad I guess
@@jp5394 Very true, I really need to do this more often!
Doesn't your favorite Pink Floyd song have two bass solos?

@@pelegbennon5271 if I remember correctly it's Hey You
eh Idk if I would call those solos, depends on who you ask I guess, to me solos have a certain feel to them and they just don’t feel like that. Also they are extremely short both only a few seconds long, kind of seem like a fills more than a solo.
@@jtd277 id agree, although he is playing solo its more like the band just lets those really nice licks breath.

@@needfortweed8734 because he has an annoying fanbase and he doesnt show any other side of the bass than funk

hell of hot take on bass solos but appreciate you're ability to stand your ground. I enjoy a good solo and when it comes to jazz, wooo the busy playing rings fun to my ears.
Totally agree about the choice of streaming platforms. When I went and bought a physical copy, I dove into the record/tape/CD, etc. learned it inside out and formed a strong attachment. And before the CD it was inconvenient to skip songs, so I would listen to albums rather than individual songs. I find with Spotfy I often skip through a song partway because its so easy to scratch the next itch. That being said... its really handy and making mix-tapes has never been easier using playlists... of which I have hundreds.
My related hot take: Streaming is the future, but it is by no means the foreseeable future. Infrastructure in the grand majority of the world just isn't good enough to consistently support it on a consumer level. Meanwhile physical and digital media is on the hardware ready to go whenever and does not require internet access. Also, my listening experience doesn't get incessantly interrupted because my aunt started a group chat talking about her perennials blooming.
FictionReviews So you’re saying that we’ll stay virtual?
The main problem with your argument is that, with every major streaming app you can download all your music.
Shithism Oh my bad, read it all completely wrong! You’re all good! 😂 Good opinion!
Thank you for your hot take on The Beatles, honestly thank you. I just wish most people can see that, they can have their opinion, but when they state The Beatles are overrated it irritates me so much.
As an audio technician, I have to point out that on most jazz recordings, the stand-up bass was never miked or mixed in ways that made the bass player's virtuosity stand out. In live performance, you can usually barely hear the bass at all - the guy is standing at the back of the stage, behind the drums, and out in the middle of the audience you still can't hear what he's playing.
Ringo's drum solo on the end is just fuckin amazing

Streaming services are good for discovering music, as you can hear a bunch of different music for cheap, but once you find an artist you really like, it’s always best to buy their music and properly support them.
As a bass player, I now understand why my bass instructor was trying to focus on my playing more spacious and melodic solos but yea you’re right, I was rarely prepared to improvise live because I was more focused on sustaining grooves on both electric & upright bass
To me Jaco Pastorius' playing on Metheny's first album Bright Size Life is just pure bliss.
it’s great but mixed so badly if you don’t listen to it monaural
Beatles are under-rated, why? because most of you have only heard the singles, listen to the non-singles, they just had such a good group that made group music.
By following that logic, wouldn't the same notion apply to every other popular and "well rated" group?
They are hailed as literally the biggest and one of the greatest bands of all time. I think they got their recognition buddy.
the beatles are one of the shittiest bands of all time.
NutsTesticles This would come from someone looking for “chainsaw guitar tone” with 12 different pedals in the thumbnail. Smh
NutsTesticles no.
One of the only upright bass solos that stood out to me over the years was when I saw The Fishtank Ensemble live, but I think that was more due to the fact that the bass player was twirling the bass in the air and slapping the hell out of it. So, it was probably more enjoyable and memorable due to theatrics than actual melody or musical development. I highly recommend listening to them or seeing them live if you ever get the opportunity in the future!
That thing you said about streaming music is so fucking true for me too
It made me realize like I was losing so much music because I had so much music to listen to
Rancid's Maxwell Murder & The Who's My Generation would like to have a word.
As far as upright bass goes The Living End have had some killer solos, especially live when the bassist balances his feet to literally stand up on his stand up bass as he plays. Jazz bass solos are pretty irredeemable though.
Matt Freeman is an insane melodic bass player and is way underrated in my mind
Not to mention Mike Dirnt's Green Day. Never really did a 'solo' per say but the Longview bass line comes to mind
I met Matt Freeman when he was touring with his own band, Devil's Brigade, a decade back. He's so nice.
Ha! Literally just commented about Matt Freeman and Maxwell Murder. You got good taste Jose

I'm a bass player and was put on the spot once to do a bass solo in a country band I was in for the song "Corina Corina." I made it the most punk rock moment in my musical career. I have not been asked to do a bass solo since... Thank God!!!
As a guy who played bass in a big band and gigging combo I can’t agree more. I was happy holding things down and hated when I’d get a nod to take a solo
I thought "Gangnam Style" said "Broken condom store"
In my opinion, the most important song of the 2010’s is Royals by Lorde. This song completely revolutionized pop music for the rest of the decade. Instead of pitbull, Flo-Rida, and Britney Spears, we got people like dua lipa, Camilla cabello, and Khalid. It’s not that these new people are better or worse, it’s that they aren’t so image centered, they’re not pop stars, they’re people that make music. Lorde also inspired a whole host of lookalikes, including Alesia cara, Halsey, Daya, and others. There are a lot of songs that you can argue for, despacito and your choice of Gangnam style, along with others, this is just my opinion.
I would consider Billie Eilish someone who has followed in those footsteps
I agree completely! Ever since this song, most pop songs completely adopted the minimalistic approach with unclear harmony and repetitive melodies.
... I'm not a fan of this at all, but whatcha gonna do. :)
Addendum: I know pop songs rely on repetitive melodies for a long time now - what I meant was that THIS TYPE of repetitive melody was later adopted by so many artists in the following years.
I think polyphonic or some UA-cam channel like that said this. It was pretty convincing.
Alex Adlington I kinda adapted this from something Todd in the shadows said a couple of years ago so that’s probably why it sounds familiar
The palendromic bass solo in Paul Simon's You Can Call Me All is superb.
As a bassist who has played my fair share of upright bass in jazz, I can't say you're wrong about the solos. Also agree with the bow thing, Miles Mosely does a phenomenal job of doing super interesting upright bass solos with a bow and effect pedals
‘Bass solos are the worst’
Joe Dart: So, you got a fender bass anywhere ‘round here?

Hot take: the worst part about bass is the davie504 stans
Or most of his fans in n general (note, im not saying all of them)
I have never heard of or seen a davie504 Stan so I don’t know what you mean
All those "epic memers"
I definitely like how when listening to a CD it forces you to listen to all the tracks, and in a specific order, more so than on streaming.
I do think a tape has one redeeming quality though: It's difficult to really tell what track you are on, so it ends up basically being just one big performance. Then you are focused on things other than which song is playing, and you actually don't have much of a choice but to listen through the whole thing.
With you on the CD thing. Every orifice of my 2005 Mazda 6 is packed full of CDs

As far as streaming vs. CDs go, let's not forget that Tidal is a streaming platform with lossless audio and offers features similar to the listening experience of vinyl. So it gives you vinyl-tier quality and artwork with the convenience of CDs/streaming. I swear I'm not a shill

The Beatles ARE UNDERRATED. I mean seriously they created the modern music industry.
They weren't just the greatest band ever but probably the most important culture zeitgeist since Shakespeare for an someone whose native language is English.
Without the Beatles music labels wouldn't try pushing musicians to appeal to international audiences.
The only acts that even comes close to the Beatles in terms impact on pop culture in the past 50 years is probably Nirvana or Run DMC.
I mean... the modern music industry is kind of shit... right? I mean lots of slimy overreach and marketing executives making songs to sell.
I’d argue bob dylan is the reason the modern music exists. There’s another comment earlier if you can find it that explains it better than me, but basically, without ol Bobby D.. there’s no Beatles or Hendrix, or modern music in general. He pushed boundaries went electric and other musicians followed his lead and looked up to him. The Beatles and them said it themselves. They changed to the experimental rock BECAUSE of him. The Beatles were definitely great. But It wasn’t all them that changed shit.
comparing the beatles to nirvana and run dmc is like comparing a ferrari to a peugeot
redd agreed

I meant from a business model. Without the Beatles showing that music industry can be as big as the movie industry, music as we know it today wouldn't exist.
The only music you would know about is ones that you either hear at local venues, or ones you learned from someone else talking about them.
You wouldn't also be able to listen to bands from other countries because it wouldn't be profitable for it to be given international releases.

I meant their effect on the music industry.
Run DMC brought Rap, and Hip-Hop to the mainstream
Nirvana brought alternative music to the mainstream and killed hair metal. They also allowed different genres of metal other than Thrash, and Hair Metal to be given serious radioplay.
Im with you on cd. I do enjoy tapes. I did alot of jazz collecting in middle and highschool and a bulk of the jazz stuff i have is on tape.
Also, if you have a CD, you can put it into a computer and get mp3s back for portability

Also, 68th like on the video. Press F to pay respects.
Shut up
Please shut up
Chris Wood has some awesome bass work in his live albums with The Wood Brothers, both upright and electric. Check out the intro for Atlas performed at the Filmore.
I don't share all of your conclusions, but your thoughts were well-reasoned and articulated. Good video.
If you want good upright solos, Christian McBride is the man
Jaco pastorius and Joe Dart leave the chat

The greatest live solo I've ever seen was an upright bass solo by someone called Miles Mosley, playing for Kamasi Washington. When he got the bow out the crowd would go wild
Also: to get music on iOS devices without iTunes, install VLC on the device. It has a built-in “server” so you can push music out to it from a computer directly. It also supports FLAC, so you can have lossless quality on there.
Not trying to start anything. Just an observation, like yours when it comes to bass solos. I think your reference point is still stuck in "student bass solo land." Here in NYC I play with extremely competent bass players and I enjoy listening to their solos on the bandstand or hearing them in the audience. Now, it doesn't help to enjoy them when the non musician listeners in the audience think that *the bass solo is the time to start talking louder then when they normally do* .
“Bass solos are the worst”

I also drive a 2010 toyota Corolla and I can vouch for that. No aux input but I keep my favorite 35 CDs in my center console and one in the cd player at all times.
I adopted Spotify as soon as it ass available and was either cds, MP3 cds and ipod before that. But have recently started collecting some vinyl and it's amazing to find, some of the songs you may have skipped due to its intro sound or whatever end up being some of your favourite songs. I still use Spotify premium and UA-cam premium for all music on the road though.
“Bass solos are the worst” *grabs pitchforks* “In jazz music” *puts pitchforks away*
Better save these matches and all this firewood for the next time. We know there will be one.lol
Davie504 will remember that
100% agree with your take on the Beatles!
I am a bass player and a guitar player. I see your point about the bass solo. I play a fend a fender jazz bass through a bunch of pedals. It sounds good and I use a lot of slap.
I was on team CDs until my car was stolen and my years of collecting were all gone. Spotify had almost everything I had and more, and was much cheaper than rebuying.
I still miss those CD cases though, some were passed down from family, some were burned in the early 00's, so most all of them had nostalgia attached.
"I hate BASS solos."

He better exit the chat because his content sucks
3:22 yo, what about cliff burton?
I kinda agree with you on the matter of upright bass solos. However I think the album “Chops” by NHØP has some great bass solos on it.
The real problem that I have with streaming service, in addition to what you mentioned about something being too easy to skip over, is that out where I live in the mountains there are plenty of places where you can still completely lose signal. So unless you have downloaded enough for the trip you can end up having to rely on singing to yourself until you re-enter the civilized world.
