What amp settings did you use for this song btw?

[@pennylane7411]

Cover Till There Was You Harrison's guitar part.Please

[@matthewfinger2381]

Amazing how this bass line is always changing in this song, Paul was a genius

[@scottjoseph7910]

Is. Paul is a genius. A still living genius.

[@Mina-ok5qm]

It's beyond me in how and which way he decides to progress throughout a song. Amazing.

[@scottreedersacoolguy]

you said it mike ehrmantraut

[@GaryBook]

Great cover. Paul adds so much to this song. I think of John Entwhistle on Who songs, John Paul Jones giving a “base/bass” to Jimmy Page or Phil Lesh’s work with the Grateful Dead.

[@mattiboo]

Indeed! All great bass players. Phil Lesh really adds a lot, almost like another lead guitar!

[@ibberman]

Don't forget Jack Bruce, like Paul, laying down incredible bass lines while singing. (Cream) Always liked Paul's very melodic Bass playing.

[@waiceron3491]

4:46 pure bliss

[@kentstray1]

It's impressive that you've learnt this song note for note, because it is a loooong song. Utmost respect.

[@harrisonho8934]

Finally someone does a full Hofner bass cover with this song! Every bass cover I've seen either does not use the Hofner or does not do the full song.

[@jhiresinideas773]

No lo hizo con el rickenbacker?

[@boomboombb]

​@@jhiresinideas773Nop, está usando un bajo Höfner 500/1, el mismo modelo que Paul McCartney usaba durante su carrera con The Beatles

[@boomboombb]

​@@jhiresinideas773Y me parece que Paul uso su Höfner durante I Want You

[@debomb721]

Well not everyone can buy a hofner

[@mr_bassman6685]

@@debomb721German-made ones, maybe, but the Icon and Contemporary basses are within reasonable price points if you’re on a budget. Now a Rickenbacker, not everyone can afford THAT.

[@trevorganoe748]

It would have been amazing to see the four of them play this live as Paul is soloing on bass while singing harmony.

[@160calories]

KILLED it in typical mattiboo style. Arguably one of Macca’s best bass lines (surely my vote for #1), you nailed the whole thing. Tone is perfect too. Great job!

[@beatlesrcool13]

Pls don’t ever quit doing this even if you run out of Beatles songs!!! Fantastic job :)

[@EnricoMendes55]

Best Paul's line

[@philipatha]

Great work, this is pretty much 100% to the isolated bass track. I'll bet it probably took you a LONG time to learn this one.

[@ZachtheMusicGuy]

One of my favorite Bass Lines. Especially the part where the bass is by itself right before the chorus/outro. I can only play that part. Still learning the rest.

[@EditName00]

These videos are truly the best ones that I have seen in the vein of accurate Beatles covers. Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming. Maybe you could do Getting Better next?

[@randallpinkfloyd]

i love that youre wearing the same stuff as you did in the guitar cover

[@mattiboo]

I actually recorded them at the same time!

[@randallpinkfloyd]

@@mattiboo ah, makes more sense

[@holdenkellogg5818]

What type of amp and settings or processing do you use to get this sound? It just sounds exactly like the record!

[@thexdude]

Bass tone is perfection :)

[@noamblend6243]

3:34 has really good drumming, feels so jazzy, inspired by Bossa Novas probably

[@jta0604]

Love all the slides! Great job!

[@michaelorenstein9165]

I'm not a guitarist, but I listened enough to the previous isolated bass version of this song on YT, which included some very slight bleed to give you a sense of where you were in the song.....and man, you nailed it note for note, even the part I refer to as McCartney "answering 2 or 3 sliding neck notes with the same notes".

[@polytheneprentiss1534]

The bass line is definitely my favorite part of this song.

[@Mad_Gobo]

It's so easy yet so genius

[@westfield90]

Great tone, great timing and amazing accuracy on a song with so many improvisations.

[@danna6492]

love the bass in this song

[@stapler942]

My sister has a bass guitar but doesn't play it much, so a couple times over the years I've shown her how to do the "heavy" chorus and it's one of the few duets we can manage, with me on guitar. 😝 It's such a good riff.

[@leonelalva1381]

A master piece. This is how the bass lines should it be. It catch you across all the song

[@blessedman855]

The best, Good Cover,I Love Your Höfner

[@superhacker35]

[@enzofariabaixista]

Best bass cover of this music! I love it! Love the tone of this LaBella strings this time! (I hate because everybody mute the notes with this strings)

Welcome back

[@themelonman3455]

Legendary

[@daffiid]

Love your work! It really helps me learn the bass lines myself and always sounds incredible. It sounds a little like the bass track is shifted early ever so slightly on this one, making the bass feel rushed, I don't know if that's intentional

[@polarlegal5606]

Great Cover as usual! Gojob Matty 🥰

[@kennet7837]

Nice attention to detail as always!

[@ok-xp9lo]

[@Mina-ok5qm]

Oh my gosh!!! I love it!!

[@grapefruitjuice9473]

Truly brilliant

[@TheHylianBatman]

Great job! Always glad to see you in my sub box. I would love to be able to play this song. I'm sure the basics are simple, but, as you've demonstrated here, the "playing" around the basics are just damn near impossible without enough experience to just fit into them. Maybe someday. But no time soon.

Please do the All My Loving Rhythm one, great cover as always.

[@ThePFRG]

From watching I think your playing is a little ahead of the backing. Error in editing?

[@CheloWiiU]

I think so as well, but he's so accurate in these recreation videos, that maybe the bass line it is a little ahead because Paul recorded it this way in the original 😅.... I don't really know, hope Mattiboo answers the question 😁

[@ThePFRG]

@@CheloWiiU No man, Mattiboo is good but this is genuine human error. I've heard the original song a million times since I was a kid, Paul was definitely playing in time. It's just a simple error of the timelines in the editor not being synced correctly. I wish he fixed it.

[@CheloWiiU]

@@ThePFRG Yes, that's probably the reason. Thank you!

Nylon strings on a bass? I didn't think such a thing was possible.

[@mattiboo]

The strings still have a metal core, but they are wrapped with nylon to give a double bass-like sound!

The countless stars shining in the winter night sky are each beautiful, but I fell in love with your image that shines in my heart, and your image is so beautiful and enchanting. I can't hide my happy expression after watching your video. I'm looking at your video like a dream. By chance at the winter window, as the algorithm introduced me, when I opened my KZbin window, the first video I saw was your video. Your video has an enchanting story full of beauty. When I watch your video, it smells like a fantasy caught in the magic of love. When I watch your video, everything feels like a dream. Do you have a lot of great talent? I was amazed at the excellence of your skills and was moved by your sincerity and hard work while watching the video. I'm looking at your video like a dream. My eyes were moved by your image and fell in love. When I see the award, somehow everything feels like a dream.

[@igorbalbinodecastro6649]

Sensacional!!!!!!

[@davz9129]

Hello. Your amazing. How yout get that bass tone, seems a bit saturated ? How you palm mute your higher strings when playing with a pick, i find that a bit difficult ?

[@mattiboo]

I added a bit of distortion to the final recording via a tape saturation plugin! Paul played through an amp that might have added in some extra harmonics in this way. The Hofner is a easier to palm mute the higher strings on given the string spacing is much narrower than a typical bass.

[@davz9129]

@@mattiboo you only played it with a di signal? Or try it with some bass Amp emulation? You have the bridge slightly angulated?
