The idea that John sabotaged any of Paul's songs is laughable. Clearly, John was not on his game that day, nor was he a great bass player. (George was much better.) John hated Paul's "granny music", yet he performed masterfully on both rhythm guitar and lead on Honey Pie. Probably of all of Paul's songs, that would have been the song he would want to sabotage, if he was so inclined. Paul could have easily wiped the tape and rerecorded the bass if he thought John's playing detracted from TLAWR.
inspiring, thank you very much
Great lesson! This turned on so many lightbulbs for me. Thank you.
Nice useful little lesson, several arrows for the bass quiver. Thanks for sharing.
What mdl is that nice Spector ?
Without bass, it's like eating a bigmac without the patty.
one question: do I need to cut my nails short on the right hands ? I feel like they hit the string eatch time and it does not sound smooth …
Possibly @sabijea. If my nails get too long, I have the same problem. You could mess with the angle your fingers come into contact with the strings as well though if you don't want to cut your nails.
yes
How come these simple scales never sound like anything when I play them? I guess it is all about phrasing and I dont have a knack for it
I’ve always thought lots of their songs had a few isolated moments of off pitch or what not, either instrumentally or vocally. I always chalked it up to it being old music/poor recording quality.
If you duplicate the bass track can you mix-in a dirty signal to get some clanky tone?
Holly crap batman 😳 you are playing seven Nation Army wrong and in the wrong position haa and you claim to be a bass player 😊
'wrong position' lol. That line can be played any way you like on bass since it wasn't played on bass in the first place.
@@BecomeABassist I have the original sheet music and note tones and cord tones are different from string to string and potion if you are really a bass teacher you would know this 😀
If you say so Shawn.
Может, просто пьяный был?
Thanks for the lesson, Luke! It was very helpful!
I've been playing bass (4, or 5 string) and singing lead, and backup for a very long time. Here's what works for me : * I'll learn to play the bass part. * I'll learn the basic lead vocal or backup vocal MELODY LINE - I DON'T bother learning off the lyric at first, just in case the song is dropped from the setlist. I think this allows me to just synchronize the musical notes, and not worry about trying to remember the words while playing. * To link the two can be easy if the bassline is straightforward, and keeps pumping in regular step with the rhythm. But it can be tough, too, if the bassline seems counter to the vocal melody. * The thing to motivate you - well it motivates me - is to remember that whatever the bass and vocals are for the song, no matter how tough it seems at first, it has already worked before, and therefore it can work for you. You just have to put in the effort. Easy songs I've done are like With Or Without You, Viva La Vida, where the bass rhythm is pretty constant throughout the song. Tough songs I've played are like Rio, Spirits In The Material World, Abracadabra. And many more, both easy and tough. I think if you keep at it long enough, you'll get it. Go slow at first and then try to speed up to the song's tempo. But when I work them out, they stay with me.
Always play it at full speed before you break it down. Context is everything.
Bass guitar is a bit like air, you're not always conscious of it but you'd notice very quickly if it wasn't there.
Dogo 😍
im struggling so much with learning songs because usually there is only tabs to go off of and i'm not very experienced so i can't figure out the rhythm without notes
It's like (to me), Paul plays a really low/bassy guitar, and fills space appropriately. Confidence probably helped, as well as being there, also artistic freedom. Not down playing writing or playing talent, just noting there are a LOT of variables.
Thank you Luke, I had to play the video a couple of times but clear now thanks to your explanations. Great job with such clarity ❤
Wunderschöne Basslines zum Üben und nicht zu kompliziert 👍
i like the advance part! pretty cool man
Great selections of riffs
George resented Paul's contributions to his songs, but I think Paul added so much to them, whether it be the bass on Something or Think for Yourself, piano on While My Guitar Gently Weeps, or the solo on Taxman. Paul loved George like a little brother, and it is evident in his contributions to his songs. I understand that could be frustrating. It really resonated with me when I watched The Concert for George and heard Paul playing that piano part on While My Guitar Gently Weeps. While Clapton is great, ironically the piano makes the song.
I often have problems with premature articulation.
Been "playing" and learning for two years. Realized I'm just having fun and not really laying down the foundation. Thanks for the video. Reminds me of paying the price prior to playing. Cheers.
Thanks a lot!
There are more slappers that slap the base, Davie is not getting anymore slap like now 😅
whats up luke! so a D Maj Ionian wouldbe D mag 7 chord and E Dorian Emin 7 etc?. going off topic on this one and a C natural minor Aeolian would be C min 7 chord? thanks
That's all correct @michaelroberts5801
@@BecomeABassist thanks again!
Thanks a lot for the cheat, it was really helpful 🎉
It was so helpful I learnt what I wanted to lern
interesting information with going down 3 frets! still trying to crack code!! thanks! so, if im on the F major and i want to find the relative minor 3rd go down 3 frets... would be D Aeolian, E locrian, F ionian MAJ, MIN, DIM... etc!??? and is there a follow up to this vid/
That's exactly correct @michaelroberts5801. Then the remaining modes basing everything from D Aeolian would be D Aeolian, E Locrian, F Ionian, G Dorian, A Phrygian, Bb Lydian and C Mixolydian. There isn't a 'follow up' to this lesson per se because this lesson actually *_is_* a follow up to my previous modes videos, which you can find here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eHx20rWeXcybl7Q.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/k4anyNCMnKbPpbA.html
@@BecomeABassist THANKS LUKE!!!
Thanks heaps man. This immediately helped. Legend
The rhythm section, especially bass...is the bridge that brings everything together. Without bass,music seems dry
awesome job putting this together, great video! You pointed out details i never would have thought of, it was so great to see your perspective! 🙌
Excellent lesson. Very helpful.
Thanks Luke - I'm always eager to try your tutorials!! Fun music and great teaching!
A question here. 10:24 Would you not rake when coming up the scale?

now it might just be me, but this is just plucking with less consistency and more steps, could just be me, but I get the same sound as plucking or pick no matter what version of slap bass I do, this included, and I'm just more likely to hit the wrong strings, does anybody know what's up
Miss my SR 700
I can play with my fingers, but I I think playing with a pick has more personality, most of npc bass players are like "noooo you can't play with a pick". Who tf cares, really.
Ears trained on lousy speakers 😢
you suck and i don't even play bass but i love jack bruce and that's why i'm here for.
Well I think both you AND Jack Bruce are great Al.
I really love something bass line but my favourite is Don't Let Me Down 's one
I thought you were going to say "HIGHER GROUND" 😢 one of the easiest and a lot of people's firsts 👌🙏
I wouldn't say that's the HARDEST slap song @keirankennedy7162, but I definitely wouldn't say it's the easiest either.
Too much talk.
Interesting - what exactly were you expecting when you clicked on this video?
i was self-taught and can relate to almost all of this, great video for beginners
