bubinga5 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Can anyone recommend me some records that Paul really plays around the chords. I've heard some in the past but I'm not really a Beatles fan so I'm not in the know. a drummer friend of mine says he was a real James Jamerson fan.. any tracks i might want to listen to.?

Roland Rock Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 IMO his playing reached a creative high point on the Abbey Road album. Here's 'something' to get you started: http://youtu.be/IrW7dlDHH28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 My one uncle was a big McCartney fan, more his later 70s Wings stuff though. I think their big album was Band on the Run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lojo Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) Not quite what your asking, but the bar fill on D in silly loves (where he only repeats the D note) always makes me smile as it seems perfect, I know silly inst it Edited February 28, 2015 by lojo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Nada Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) [quote name='KevB' timestamp='1425086168' post='2703898'] All My Loving, She Said She Said, Rain worth a listen? [/quote] She Said, She Said's baseline was played by George Harrison. Apparently Macca stormed out of the sessions in a huff so George just played it. Still, a great bassline. Macca had said Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds is his definitive line. It certainly moves around the chords in the bridge in a lovely melodic manor. Upbeat Macca? Try And Your Bird Can Sing. The bridge section has definite Jamison influence. Edited February 28, 2015 by James Nada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubit Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Paul McCartney- bass playing 8 or 9 out of 10 Paul McCartney- annoying twatt. 10 out of 10 My opinion of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently George wasn't that keen on the bassline for 'Something', too fussy for him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The fasting showman Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 How about 2 off Sgt Pepper? Lovely Rita and Good Morning are interesting lines at the front of the mix. Dear Prudence is a great line too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coilte Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 "Lady Madonna" is worth a listen. OP, your drummer friend is correct. In the book "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" Macca says how much he was influenced/inspired by Jamerson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobbayne Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 'Everybodys got something to hide except for me and my monkey' from the White Album has a nice bassline that grooves along. There is also a nice little bass break which I have repeatedly ripped off. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCE0z4V3USQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Alsatian Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 The whole Band on the Run album has some fantastic basslines from Macca. This is my favourite: [media]http://youtu.be/nt_IVOSMAA4[/media] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Along with 70 million viewers I saw McCartney for the first time live on American TV February 9th, 1964. I made my mind up that night I was going to play bass guitar. Paul McCartney has IMO a great melodic style that's useful across the board. I would say, you won't go wrong listening to any of his work. It won't be easy as I would think your to young to get what The Beatles were about.
