Paul is a "dirty" player, often tuning sharp to grab the listener's attention. When you hear the full mix, your brain auto-adjusts the bass to "in tune" and you think, Oh how great that it stands out. But when you hear his isolated bass, you can hear how out of tune he gets. Note: This is a compliment. He's great.

He has such an ear for melody and harmony and it’s absolutely astonishing. I also remember hearing him say that getting basses that were right handed and stringing them the opposite way made it harder to keep them in tune. I’m sure he really adapted a lot of his playing to accommodate this, and used his ear to do so. Either way, playing sharp on the low end is especially good with the bright sound the Beatles often used, and I’d say that “bright” sort of tone is pretty characteristic of McCartney music in general. It’s super interesting. On the earlier solo work, a lot of criticism for Linda’s singing was that she was out of tune, most of the time she’s pretty sharp, but never really too flat. I think this helps the folk-ish sound that they were developing on albums like Ram and Wild Life. I think it’s delightful and adds a lot of character. One last note is that “equal temperament” tuning (like a piano) is a compromise of tuning. Intonation is a social construct, and while many listeners of the Beatles have their ears tuned to a Western sound, being “in tune” can mean different things. Hilary Hahn (famous violinist) has explained that playing some notes deliberately “out of tune” adds more character or drama to the music. I think that’s really something Paul McCartney knows and hears (subconsciously or not). When I was studying music in college I had a professor say that it was much more egregious to play flat than sharp because playing flat has a dragging effect, and playing sharp can actually at times push forward and lift. Cool when you think about it in the context of bass and rock bands. It really shows the high level of musicianship found in the Beatles

I must admit that I think a lot of difficulty in this quiz is due to the varying sound quality of each sample, and especially due to the fact that the samples pick up at odd places in the songs. I think if the bass parts were recreated (like Charlie did with the drum quiz) rather than just isolated from the original recordings it would have painted a clearer picture rather than the compressed, underwater sound that these isolated bass bits give. With those things considered, I think you did a good job guessing!

There are so many of Paul's bass lines in pristine isolated form on KZbin. I didn't understand why whoever made the quiz didn't just use those. It's not because they're all too obvious either. I mean, you can listen to the entire White Album's isolated bass.

Paul learned most everything he did after his "walking bassline" period from Jamerson, who's really the first player to figure out what to do with an electric bass. If you listen to lots of Motown, this is obvious, but if not, Paul has acknowledged this a million times. They only stylistically split towards the end, with Jamerson being more fully a rhythm bassist with tricks that Paul doesn't use until the mid-70s, and Paul is more lead. They both have a fantastic sense of when the bass should firmly be in the background, and when the bassline has to carry the song.

I am getting better though as I become aware of not only how critical Paul's bass lines were to the music, but how good he was/is as a bass player. Being how amazing he can write and sing it is easy to overlook the creativeness and skill of his bass playing.

On Polish TV around the year 2000 we had a show in which contestants had to guess pop songs, and in one competition it was one instrument at first (played by a live band), then another joined, and so on. Really unlucky contestants had to face solo drums first, but with the solo bass nobody fared much better. Usually only after the vocal joined people were able to finally realize what the song was.

Fun challenge! I got 13/18, so I'm pretty proud of myself. As a drummer I never learned how to play any of them on the real bass, but I actually know a lot of these from The Beatles: Rock Band, where I played them on the plastic bass! Some of them I also could identify easier because other instruments where leaking through on the isolated bass track, such as the guitar part on #14. That's why I opted to re-record Ringo's drum parts myself for my Beatles drum quiz that David did before, so the instrument is completely isolated. [SPOILERS] My full results with the answers: - 01: ✓ - Fixing A Hole 02: ✓ - Here Comes The Sun 03: X - The Long And Winding Road 04: X - Don't Let Me Down 05: X - Something (Feel bad for missing that one) 06: ✓ - Gotta Get You Into My Life 07: ✓ - A Hard Day's Night 08: ✓ - Yellow Submarine 09: ✓ - Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds 10: ✓ - Drive My Car 11: X - Strawberry Fields Forever 12: X - I'm Looking Through You 13: ✓ - When I'm Sixty-Four 14: ✓ - I'm Only Sleeping (Only because I could hear the guitar part) 15: ✓ - Hey Bulldog (Heard the drums and piano on this one too) 16: ✓ - Help 17: ✓ - Let It Be 18: ✓ - The Ballad of John And Yoko I'm surprised one of my favorite Paul McCartney bass lines, Lady Madonna, wasn't featured in the quiz.

To be honest though the bass part wasn't isolated that well and so that helped my ears a lot by picking other elements of each song. My ears are very well trained at recognising beatles official recordings. If a bassist played the exact same melodies with no other context being played then I would probably miss 4 or 5.

Only a few really drive the song (e.g. Come Together).

You did _much_ better than I did… 1] Although you (mis-)guessed “You Won’t See Me” early on, I’m kinda surprised this wasn’t included. It has a _very_ distinctive bass part. A lot of very busy spelling-out of the chords. 2] It’s notable how essentially all of the songs are from the middle and, particularly, the late period. So much of the bass playing on the first couple of albums consists almost exclusively of -to use your term- “1-5 plodding”.

It's amazing how much Paul's bass playing improved during those 7-8 years. Just listen to Love Me do, then listen to I Want You (She's So Heavy). You did a great job! I knew some, but man...that's tough...

I'm a bassist, I consider Paul ones of my biggest influences, and I still only got five right. To be fair, I don't sit around learning Paul's bass lines. The ones I have learned, like "Something" I was able to get right away. But this quiz did a good job avoiding some of the more obvious ones like "Dear Prudence," "Come Together," and "Taxman." Anyway, it amazes me how well David does on these. I haven't even come close to his score on any of these quizzes.

I got about half right. Like you mentioned, some of his bass lines are iconic and up front, and others are just supportive. I got the upfront ones, and didn't do so well with the supporting type lines. For me, the word that comes to mind about the way he plays bass is "jaunty". His bass lines are generally so bouncy. Sometimes they're driving, for sure, but I think jaunty describes it. Almost like tuba parts.
