The only other TH-camr to nail this song is you and Paul McCartney. You nailed every note, ghost note, slide, hammer on , pull off, and even tabbed every correct note. Dude, I know you spent a lot of time on these songs. You are doing a great service of bringing these great older songs to the young and older musicians of today. You are a TH-cam national treasure, thank you sir.
Kinda disagree. There is a finesse, style, and flair in the intro to this that PMC is just so good at. Same with Another Day and Goodnight Tonight. He just has such a gentle handle on the bass. It's not like he plays it, but it's more of a caress. My favorite bass lines.
@@geteese George said that make the bassline simple. Now the bass in Something is really something, I've heard George didn't like it but that's one of the reason I repeat something. I mean all the instruments there and the harmony
Just so liked the way Paul threw so many beautiful variations in, subtle what I call "feel" variances to different verses and chorus runs, and found so many pretty places to go, and some great little minute rests just rare ones, that for me set him apart from a lot of others. And all while he sang, so beautifully, and lead the band generally. What a genius. I'm so glad I got to be alive when he is. What a blessing most of his work has been.
Excellent cover. Played to perfection. people are in wonder at how Paul can play these bass lines and sing at the same time...Practice. Lots and lots of practice. The Beatles played literally hundreds of shows and tens of thousands of hours perfecting their art before they even cut a record.
I just wanted to say that without you, I wouldn't be nearly as good at bass as I am. You are truly a bass hero worthy of his own internationally known signature bass.
AWESOME! Paul is such an underrated bass player, and this one rocks! I can't get over the fact that he plays that intricate pattern live AND SINGS AT THE SAME TIME! Great job!
Awesome play trough and such a useful teaching tool! Thank you! Just for my own ease of practicing: 0:45 pre-chorus 1 1:47 pre-chorus 2 2:17 bridge 1 3:10 bridge 2 4:10 bridge 3 5:15 stop-start 5:40 outro
McCartney is such a tasteful bass player whose genius is both subtle and overt. Honestly, he must naturally think melodically because his tunes sound so effortless on the surface when the truth is that they are extremely complex in places. The world will miss him when he goes.
Brilliant transcription and badass playing brother. I was looking for the isolated bass off the record and the search results were flooded with bass covers. So many just pump out the lick with straight 8th notes with no nuance whatever; same dynamics, same phrasing. You played this perfectly man. All the slides, mutes and hammers were spot on. So many people who try to play the McCartney bass "style" just grab a pick and think they'll magically sound like him. There's so much more to his style than "he played with a pick". The palm muting is key, the supple slides and pull off/hammer on's, the octave leaps, etc. They all make a huge difference. This one video is a masterclass. Bottom line is we bassists shouldn't be trying to "sound like" anybody; we should be aiming to play the best WE can play. The key is taking your influences and working their ideas into your own style. Excellent video...
To be honest I started playing 5 months a go and this one as been challenging so far , it's even harder than I thought , so many variations and different musical notes .
Nice job. Such a fun song to play. My first bass song actually to learn well. I am not a bass player but figured I better learn. I am loving bass after 40 years of playing guitar. I tried this with both pick and fingers. The pic works and sounds like Paul but I have more fun playing with my fingers and just muting the strings to make it sound like I am using a pick. Nice bass and nice playing.
Even before I could understand what a Bass guitar was I was thrilled by that low thing playing in the back of the song...in this case not so much in the back.
Man you are a awesome musician... all the work you put into the tabs and the playing is great.. I love how you play with a pick as well as finger style.. you have gotten me into working with a pick.. I was so against it for years but there are so many songs out there where you can tell a pick is being used..hope you have a great new year and thanks again for all your videos....have a great day..
@@eliboybherrera7890 Arguably the best known bassist in the history of rock music. Can't say he's underrated in that regard. Maybe to some of the youngsters he is.
Recently I've been learning slap bass including advanced techniques like double thumb. As I practiced I realize that this song would be great adapted to double thumb instead of a pick. The emphasize notes move around a bit, but it still works well.
I find this channel inspirational--I can't believe I've only recently discovered it. I have some more outre suggestions. I will be sure to check out the Patreon page. Meantime, some stuff I'd love to see (just, you know, a few things). Keep up the great work. 1. The Jesus Lizard: "Dancing Naked Ladies," "Killer McHann," "Din," or "South Mouth" 2. Brian Eno: "Over Fire Island" 3. James Brown: "Give It Up or Turn It a Loose" 4. Jaco Pastorius, "Donna Lee" 5. Marcus Miller: "Power" 6. Victor Wooten: "The Lesson" 7. Prince: "Gett Off" 8. Parliament: "P-Funk (Wants to Get Funked Up)" 9. Sly & the Family Stone: "In Time" or "Luv n Haight" 10. Rush: "Time Stand Still" 11. The Four Tops: "Bernadette" 12. Yes: "Close to the Edge" 13. Stevie Wonder: "Higher Ground" (NOT the RCHP version) 14. Jimi Hendrix: "All Along the Watchtower" (the bass part, which Hendrix himself played) 15. Allman Brothers: "Blue Sky"
I love your content on this channel. I have this video a like because I fully support you as best I can, but this song confirms why I really don't like Paul McCartney. Bland is probably the most complimentary word I can think to use when describing how style of song writing
Ok... Im a loyal viewer of your body of work here. Im a beginner bassist and all the teachers, pro musicians and the like always talk about finding your bass tone. Dude, does that Washburn have every freakin tone out there? I mean you got it about as close to the Ric4001 Paul plays this on. Your cover of Winonas Big Brown Beaver is about as close to that Carl Thompson that Les plays.... like EVERY cover you do, you can get that T24 to sound pretty damn close to every bass tone there is. Whats the secrect? Is it the bass, the amp, the midi line, like what gives? Thanks for all you do. I pretty much have learned all the songs I play from this channel and a few other. Kudos.
in few words is audio production and correct technique to create different tones. That's the real difference. You can achieve los of tones with different techniques
@CoverSolutions well thanks for your response... I know you're busy. I really love all your stuff. One of the 1st songs I learned was your cover of Tears for Fears "Head over Heels". Thanks again for all you do, it's very much appreciated.

Buena música.. mejores bandas vienen de Inglaterra y Estados Unidos es el trampolín para llegar a la fama.
I like this bassline. I consider McCartney a very good bassist. The bass he played on Something is wonderful.
For a guy who didn't want to play bass, yes, he nailed it X)
I ve Heard he simplyfied that bassline coz George told him it was "too noticable" in the mix.
@@geteese George said that make the bassline simple. Now the bass in Something is really something, I've heard George didn't like it but that's one of the reason I repeat something. I mean all the instruments there and the harmony
Yes, he is.
That goes without saying. Check out Mrs. Vanderbilt. 👍🏽❤🎶

One of my fav basslines of all time. 👍❤
Good Night Tonight or Band On The Run have both great bass lines (talking about Wings songs).
A double like for this!
You should actually do more McCartney bass lines, Lovely Rita, I want You She’s So Heavy and Hey Bulldog are great bass lines.
Now that you know how to play this awesome bassline, just sing like Paul at the same time and you're all set. Good luck!
😅 yeah exactly, no big deal right??
Thanks for this, great work showing the tab and playing along. You nailed it. Just a great example of Paul's brilliance on full display here for us!
Love this song and its bass line. You nailed it, very enjoyable to watch and listen to.
To be honest I started playing 5 months a go and this one as been challenging so far , it's even harder than I thought , so many variations and different musical notes .
I love this song. Just one of those songs that lifts your spirits. Thanks for sharing.
Really well done. Thanks for sharing with us. Cheers

Absolutely amazing. So well done. Thank you so much. This is a flawless transcription.
Phenomenal! I've loved this bass line for the longest time. I just started playing the bass and I now I can play it. Thank You!!!!
Awesome- Macca still had some GREAT lines with Wings for sure- what a great tune as well! Thanks
Even before I could understand what a Bass guitar was I was thrilled by that low thing playing in the back of the song...in this case not so much in the back.
Playing this bassline really makes one feel like a bass player.
I'm a bass player, too, and I second that.
I don't even play bass and I consider myself a bass guitar enthusiast 😂
Man you are a awesome musician... all the work you put into the tabs and the playing is great.. I love how you play with a pick as well as finger style.. you have gotten me into working with a pick.. I was so against it for years but there are so many songs out there where you can tell a pick is being used..hope you have a great new year and thanks again for all your videos....have a great day..
Bravo - I'm a hardcore McCartney fan and you nailed it, capturing all the nuances. Cheers!
5:18 I literally laughed out loud while sightreading this. That break is hilarious!
I just recently discovered Wings and I'm so happy to see this on here!!
So underated bass line and bass player. Love Paul Mccartney!
macca isnt underrated at all..?
@@toepincher I meant as a bass player. People sometimes ignore his great job on the bass, mostly in the post-beatles period
@@benhavardi969 what? Paul isn't an underrated bass player. He's well-known in bass player category
@@eliboybherrera7890 Arguably the best known bassist in the history of rock music. Can't say he's underrated in that regard. Maybe to some of the youngsters he is.
Yesss, been waiting for you to put this one out. Great job as usual :)
Great job I’ve been waiting for someone to upload this
Well done Bro that was beautifully played 🔥🔥🔥🔥👌🏼💯🏴
I've been waiting for this a long time ago, great cover! :D
This song would have been easily - and thankfully - forgotten if it weren't for this insanely catchy bass work. Great job!
Thanks for this great refresher course. You saved me some time in relearning this on my own.
Awesome choice! I was trying to learn this line from an Ultimate Guitar tab, but it made no sense. This is much better!
Recently I've been learning slap bass including advanced techniques like double thumb. As I practiced I realize that this song would be great adapted to double thumb instead of a pick. The emphasize notes move around a bit, but it still works well.
Encontré esta lindura de cover super bien bacán, bacán, increíble el bajo 👏👏👏 Felicidades Desde PERU 🇵🇪💥
Красивая линия баса и сыграно отлично!
Always loved the bassline on this song. Fantastic cover ? Nah, one cannot really discern from the original recording. Makes Macca proud.
Ohhhhhhh wow! I’ve been hoping you’d do this one! So awesome! Thank you!
Yes!!! Do more Wingspan bass covers!! Thank you!
Amazing music, play along! Congratulations my man
fuck yeah
this bass is awesome
Finally, a Macca bass line cover!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love all your stuff SO accurate !! nice one!!!
You should try covering the version of this in the film Give My Regards To Broad Street, has Louis Johnson i think playing some slap solos
awesome! I've been waiting for this one.
Dude, you nailed it. Could you do Pigs or have a cigar from pink floyd? Greetings from 🇫🇷
excellent transcription! thank you!!
Awesome job! I’m following you now, you’re a talented Bassist!

Bass therapy again!!!
Dear midnight bass man.... nice job!
This is so excellent!
Beautiful bass, idk how he did it. Good job dude
vamos falta poco perro
I love this
I picked up a bass guitar because of this song. And then I put it down again.
Could you please do Something, Hey Bulldog, Come Together, Dear Prudence or I Want You (She's So Heavy)???
Hey Bulldog would be good. Come Together had plenty of coverage already
Beatles always get blocked, he's got a couple available to patrons including hey bulldog
@@BassandBuds dear prudence is a Siouxsie and the banshees song
@@pacificcoastpiper3949 Obviously I was talking about the Beatles songs but yes you're correct
@@BassandBuds it’s a good song
Could you do “Arrow Through Me” next while you’re at it? 😁
You have to pay him on Patreon
THE BEST CHANNEL !!!!!!!!!
Muchas gracias
Awesome job!
Mint well done 👏👏👏
Até q enfim uma q da pra tocar
Love it!!
perfect thanks for this!
Paul is very underrated as a bass player
dude thank you i love silly love songs
Loved it
Sweet bass lines…and paul never repeats the same fill … ever…on any song
Now you gotta do Band on the Run haha
It’s also a disco beat, which was also denigrated by musicians back in the day. Paul threw it , and love songs, in their faces!
Excellent! I'm So Glad by Cream sometime would be sweet. Thanks
Awesome ❤️ you are flawless 😊
THANK YOU! Am on it, let's do this!
Good Night Tonight has a great bass line (talking about Wings songs). There are no videos with her tabs. Could my brother do that? Tks
👏👏🤘🤘🔥🔥
Buenísimo! !👏👏👏
Bravo 👏
