Dom in Dorset Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I love the bit he plays at 1 min. I'm not that familiar with the song , is that how McCartney played it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The verse in question is a good example. Not sure the guy in the vid is doing anything special to be honest; seems to me that Macca did the hard work in writing such a clean and simple yet effective line to one of their more iconic songs? Perhaps I'm missing something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I'm missing something [/quote] I think thats it, its such a good bassline and the guy playing is doing a very good job, but the line doesn't require anything that would over impress playing wise, guess that is what bass is all about in most situations, just solid with the little frills just enough to notice and decorate the song but not overdone Edited July 26, 2011 by lojo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leschirons Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Bloody McCartney, nicking a Bruce Foxton bassline. Typical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer to think the former, because his borrowing was so obvious, and usually done with pretty good taste? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
