[@michaelbailey1578]

I'm really embarrassed, I saw the Beatles in concert in '64 and '65, I've been an avid fan for most of my life; to me personally, they were the greatest musicians of the 20th Century, and yet I couldn't guess more than a handful of those base lines, even as well played as they were. When I saw them in Milwaukee in '64, it was so deafeningly loud that the only piece I was certain they had played was You Can't Do That, because I recognized Paul's last three notes. Thanks for including Daytripper. This video was well done, I had a lot of fun. Thanks.

Only ones I got were "Come Together", "Day Tripper", and "Helter Skelter". Last one almost threw me, because on the track John isn't so adept at playing bass, so he just thumps along as loud as he can.

[@NicoN-mj9ps]

This Proves what great compositions the beatles created especially in the later stages of their Career, the single instruments rarely just play just a melody for themselves, they always serve the greater picture to create iconic melodys in unity with the whole band. I think thats the reason why its so hard to recognize the songs only with a bass line because the bass line rarely just plays a foundation for the guitar or a riff on its own, instead Paul plays always something that creates a deeper layer of melody in the song that works perfectly with the rest of the instruments.

[@lcommander631]

Love this video, used it in a zoom quiz the other day so thanks!

[@johnmunson100]

Having been a Beatles fan since 1964, and being an amateur bass player myself, I'm embarrassed to say that I only got 12 of the 15. But this was great fun and well done. Thanks!

[@lilclerk]

This was much harder than I expected it to be.

[@simonacuthbert1]

Fantastic video and I'm ashamed that I only scored 5 out of 15. Now where were Paperback Writer and Hey Bulldog? Thanks for sharing your skills.

[@bruceheckerman7343]

I've got close to 2000 songs on Spotify and have never heard a bass player as good as Paul McCartney. Seeing him live just confirmed that this is true. He had my wife and I in years during that 3 1/2 hour performance.

[@nachomarx8890]

Nice job. It highlights how genius Macca is on bass.

[@axllow3914]

This was so hard! I only got around half right, even though I managed to get most on the medium difficulty haha

[@Stephanie-hn3yn]

That was a lot harder than I thought it would be. Day Tripper and Come Together were the only ones I got lol

[@paulkiss1981]

Such rich bass lines, impressive.

[@PC4USE1]

I got 7 out of the 15 and I am a life long Beatles fan. When the bass line mirrors the melody,I get them-if not-they escape me.

[@strav8672]

Only got Come Together, Day Tripper and Birthday. That was quite difficult. At the beginning of Hello, Goodbye, I thought it was Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da

[@henryc9285]

Got them all! Great to see saw her standing there done with all down strokes.

[@tieukhavu8832]

1. Come Together (Obviously) 2. I want to hold your Hand (Verse) 3. When I'm 64 4. Help! 5. Something 6. Hello Goodbye (After guessing a few seconds) 7. I saw her standing there 8. While my Guitar Gently Weeps (Not George played the lead guitar, but Eric) 9. Tell Me Why (After guessing and singing this song in my head) 10. Day Tripper (Just like how the guitar starts off) 11. Eight Days A Week 12. Birthday (Because the bass and guitar plays the riff together) 13. Penny Lane 14. All my Loving 15. Helter Skelter (After a few seconds of guessing and singing the song

[@krisinsaigon]

I love the Beatles and I only got 4 right, much harder than I thought it would be

[@feeno1188]

15/15 pretty surprised that I recognised tell me why almost immediately lmao

[@biedronkagirl]

you are a wonderful bass player! i think paul's bass work is often overlooked, he's so fantastic

[@31_viryanandaastiwardhanis23]

11/15 I missed When I'm Sixty Four, Eight Days A Week, I Saw Her Standing There and Helter Skelter😂

[@bettyswunghole3310]

How could you *not* get "I Saw Her Standing There"...?!? 😲

[@beatlemaniacwaltdisneyfan4753]

Wtf

[@donjohnson7550]

Great! 🤟

[@bigfootlover23]

been playing and studying bass every day for for about 2.5 years now, and I have to say, I've discovered hundreds of great bassists, and Paul still ranks up there as one of my all time favorites!!

[@westfield90]

Yay I scored 9/10. I just missed When I’m 64.

[@geoffcartridge2079]

That was a disgusting effort ..... by me, shown up completely. After 55 years of being a Beatles fan....I managed only 5, and I got those because of rhythm. Inspiration to get out the basses and learn properly. Thanks for the great lesson and big wake up call!

[@filippoburani9164]

I've only guessed "Day Tripper", Come together", "Helterk Skelter" and "When I'm sixty-four" 😣

[@cmango8668]

This is awesome. My friend and I used to play this game back in the '80s/'90s by singing the basslines. We did Beatles, but other bands as well like The Police, Talking Heads. I actually got 13, but I did have to stop and re-listen before the timer was up on a couple of the tunes, and I didn't get All My Lovin' until the very last 3 seconds of it. The ones I missed were Hello/Goodbye and Tell Me Why. Can't wait to try the next ones- great job Lefty!

[@zep68cd]

Bass guitar is like the spine of a song, you can bearly see it, but is there, holding everything together.

[@abbymartin554]

Wow. Very well-said.

[@cdelatarte855]

I have listened to my elderly brothers played all my childhood. And, except for 2 or 3 songs, it was obvious to me only afterwards 😱. Great and interesting challenge, thank you 👍👍👍 ‼️
