The Beatles - Rubber Soul /// ALBUM BASS LINE [Play Along Tabs]

[@andbo7937]

You Won’t See Me is the most underrated Beatles song ever, definitely in my top 3. Also as a bass player it’s one of the most fun to play

[@TheChaserTV]

Agreed, except for the tempo changes hahah

[@jasonruka1665]

Love it!!

[@rosi7293]

YES

[@fanorydberg2424]

Yes it's a great song. For what it's worth, in his book "Revolution In The Head" the late Ian Macdonald takes the view that (1) it goes on one chorus too long, and (2) it was lousy sequencing to have two songs (YWSM and Nowhere Man) both featuring "Oooh-la-la-la" one after the other! Not that I care, criticising anything the Beatles did is a bit irrelevant, they were so great, but he may have a point.

[@counterfeit1148]

@@fanorydberg2424 I mean Nowhere Man has Aah-la-la-la, not Ooh-la-la-la

[@yahillo]

Let’s get this guy a rickenbacker

[@JamesMcCarthy17]

And a Hofner (as a Cheeky bonus) 😉

[@ashishpanwar909]

SUBBED

[@diegochavarini3994]

Rickenbacker 4001s, not 4003

[@M5guitar1]

Hofner

[@stephenstrang590]

Totally thinking the same thing

[@northernbrother1258]

If all Paul McCartney had ever done was play bass in the Beatles, he'd still be a god. Def my all time fav bass player.

[@TheJayson8899]

Drive My Car and The Word has incredibly groovy bass lines. Absolutely incredible stuff.

[@Stevesk0011]

You can tell when the person playing bass is a Beatles fan, and not just doing it for the views.

[@thomaspappalardo7589]

I had no idea the bassline for The Word was so funky! If any Beatles album needs a 50th anniversary remix, it’s that one. That song could have been a 70s funk hit.

[@thedelaunesband1405]

It’s closer to 60 now

[@JNewsted1988]

I love "If I Needed Someone". One of my favorite Beatles songs of ALL TIME.

[@Marlonszm]

I love this song ❤️❤️

[@lequefi]

I guess this is probably the album with best McCartney bass lines! Every song is like a bass solo each one!

[@jerrysmith2354]

Abbey Road has some sick bass in it

[@HankFinkle11]

Dear Prudence bass line is genius.

[@007KayElleKay]

Yes ,thats what a melodic bass player does . Provides another melody line rather than just driving rhythm .

[@carlneoh5843]

White Album and Abbey Road does it for me

[@TheJayson8899]

Norwegian Wood sounds unimpressive alone but it does a lot for the song when you losten to it in full

[@mokrodog]

Kind ok like ringos drumming for certain songs

[@007KayElleKay]

THat's the secret of a good bassist - they know what to leave out and when !

[@robd1329]

I said the same. I can do a better impro job on Norweigian Wood

[@specialkalberta]

Excellent! 1. Drive My Car 0:00 2. Norwegian Wood 0:30 3. You Won't See Me 1:02 4. Nowhere Man 1:40 5. Think For Yourself 2:12 6. The Word 2:53 7. Michelle 3:28 8. What Goes On 4:21 9. Girl 4:51 10.

[@counterfeit1148]

Through, not Thru In My Life not My Life

[@davecostello560]

My God. As if I didn't already know it, you've just reminded me what an amazing bass player McCartney was/is.

[@diegosoriano2166]

Great! Do the same with every Beatle album!!

[@julianmcmanus3384]

C'mon it's not thaaaat hard

[@pay9011]

That was the perfect album to lay back with headphones on and listen to each note played by each instrument.

[@Jake.Wright.Old.]

Pleasseeee do abbey road. The bass lines are soo goodd

[@Cyanometry]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y16WaWlmbLdpfZY Check out this link for some tasty Abbey Road bass lines.

[@andrewpappas9311]

Hell yeah, especially on the medley at the end. Some of McCartney’s best bass lines

[@TheJayson8899]

Fun fact: Think For Yourself has two simultaneous bass parts.

[@LeftyBassman]

Yes I also played the second part with a distortion

[@jasonruka1665]

Nice!

[@andrewpappas9311]

Yeah, the fuzz on that song sounds so gnarly it’s awesome

[@Anca-a-Tom]

Those two parts are little bit diferent... Not absolutely simultaneous...

[@arwahsapi]

If I'm not mistaken The Beatles delivered *"If I Needed Someone"* and *"Paperback Writer"* on their last live in Candlestick 1966. McCartney was a hell of a bassist to sing and play the bass line of those songs on stage

[@beatlebrian4404]

Arwah Sapi, how right you are to sing and play bass at the same time is very very difficult, this guy has everything, great singing voice, his singing harmonies are just amazing, the Beatles, the best, I am just grateful, that I was living in those fantastic years, each record release just got better and better what they achieved in only 7 years is just amazing

[@CutiePie-hh3gg]

Hands down their best album

[@DoctorJohnSmith9]

Excellent work recreating the genius of Sir Paul. Well done!!

[@d0ntletmed0wn]

my favourite album of all time

[@yahillo]

I think I’m getting a bass this week

[@rjpg]

Gonna sound silly but playing Beatles RB made me appreciate Ringo's drumming.....this vid makes me appreciate Paul tremendously too.

[@andrewpappas9311]

I agree with you, Beatles Rock Band got me into a lot more of their songs and they gave me a greater appreciation of George and John’s abilities as guitar players (I also ended up learning how to play guitar because of Harrison)

[@yutopia7]

All 4 beatles are underrated as instrumentalists. All these isolated covers on KZbin definitely shows that.

[@sallykohorst8803]

So great thank you. Love that bass

[@maurocoimbra9624]

It's great to note how smoorthly you play! Greetings from Brazil.

[@rostislavvolkov7356]

I'm not a big fan of BEATLES but I love their basslines, especially played by such a good bassist like you. Done very precisely!

[@RealerArtist]

Aww man. You're killing it in this. I'm a big Paul fan and this is one of my favourite albums. Lovely jazz you've got there. I can tell a ton of care has been put into your vids. Rad.

[@liberioescriba6158]

Excellent job. I also LOVED that you didnt have to get a Hofner or a Rickenbacker. People tend to think & feel that unless you have the precise Beatles models, you are doing it wrong.

[@LeftyBassman]

Thank you so much! With a Jazz bass you can do all you want 😀

[@alext3865]

I sang all these songs together with you, it was great, I remember all of them!

[@connorpark2744]

This was really impressive. Such a great album. Perhaps somewhere down the line a Revolver album play could be considered! Great job once again!

[@macgyver5276]

Great job, good to see an accurate cover of "I'm looking through you". It's amazing how Paul used a limited set of notes to great effect in different variations.

[@LeftyBassman]

Thank you, I don't know why but it's one of my favorite song!

[@macgyver5276]

@@LeftyBassman I was a huge Beatles fan in my teens many years ago, but I haven't listened to them for a while until recently. After listening to them again, "I'm looking through you" has quickly become one of my favourites:)

[@bassace1358]

Among all the other things that make this a great video your tone fits perfectly.

Thats a great looking Jazz bases mate. Very clean. Mine is battered:-() Sorry, i would love a Rickenbacker as well. I am priced out. I bought a Ibanez SR 600 E for my 3 bass. Then spend a load on upgrades. There worth a look, very decent! Great Video as always!

[@clotildeodeye73]

i think you should do all the albums of The Beatles because the songs have great basslines and i'm sure that you can play this lines very well.

That’s in my mind to do all the albums 😉

[@mazasan]

I don't know anything about music but I like It and I wish I knew, but for me it's a kind of magic. I love The Beatles and I could recognize any song by listening to the lead guitar or the rithym guitar but never to the bass line (except for when the bass is playing alone or it's in first place like "come toguether") I admire all good musicians but bass......I can't even imagine how Paul and the rest of bass guitarist can create a bass line. Where does it come from? For me It doesn't have nothing to do with the song but, there It is, perfectly matched to the song and making It better. 😂 See how I can't understand music. It looks like advance maths!!!

[@caseyking8394]

Subbed so you can get that Ric!

[@tokiobassfromskachocokick8330]

[@keitha.9922]

2:29 On the George Harrison penned song "Think For Yourself", Paul McCartney used a fuzz box on the bass that is doubled with a clean bass. Rubber Soul is a masterpiece.
