Macca Bass Lesson - LSD

[greghagger]

It's high time that I featured a Paul McCartney bass line in one of my YouTube videos, as the last one was about 5 years ago!

 

Macca is such an influential bass player and is one of the founding fathers of 'pop bass'. His approach to creating bass lines is very unique and interesting, often including arpeggio shapes and melodic lines, toped off with great attention to articulation.

 

In my latest YouTube lesson I tackle 'Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds,' a classic Beatles song that contains three different keys and two different time signatures!

 

You can grab a free copy of my full bass line transcription in notation and Tab by clicking the link in the video description.

 

Enjoy this classic!

Thanks for doing this! I need to learn this song for an upcoming gig, and was looking for something to help me to get to grips with it. Your video is just what I need.

Good timing then! Check out my Greg’s Bass Shed channel later today (Monday) as I’m releasing a video of me playing this song with the original recording. 
 

Hope your gig goes well.
