  • This special way of playing major arpeggios is sometimes called "the Paul McCartney triad". Now you know why ;-)
    Very groovy !

    One of Paul's greatest gifts was his ability to write "simple" but epic bass lines… that, when played in time and with accuracy, are the best bass lines in the world! Can make you feel happy, astonished etc…

    McCartney, one of the greatest melodic singer-songwriter musicians of the 20th century uses a pick to play bass...so do not listen to those who frown upon bassists who use a pick...it is perfectly fine to use a pick on a bass guitar...

    A slice of pentatonic heaven from Paul McCartney and Tom Bornemann. Simple, melodic, and very effective. But only if it's got that punch and groove. Anybody can play these notes, but it's How you play them that counts. It's all in the groove. That's why I love the bass so much.

      As you can imagine I get a lot of requests. Since the transcription process is very time-consuming I had to find a way to deal with this. So I started a "Transcriptions Priority List": Firstly I do requests by my personal students (online and offline). Secondly my patrons have the chance to put requests on my "Priority list" (see my PATREON page for further details, link in the video description). After I've worked through that list I sometimes do requests by others, which honestly is very infrequently.

    The bass in the first two bars after the piano intro (the notes high on the neck) is actually an played by an acoustic guitar. The bass gets layered on top of it after that. They play the same lines except the guitar only plays the Bb once at the start of the riff while the bass plays two

    Desmond has a barrow in the marketplace
    Molly is the singer in a band
    Desmond says to Molly, girl, I like your face
    And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand
    Ob la di, ob-la-da, life goes on, bra
    La-la, how the life goes on
    Ob-la di, ob-la-da, life goes on, bra
    La-la, how the life goes on
    Desmond takes a trolley to the jeweller's store
    Buys a twenty carat golden ring
    Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door
    And as he gives it to her she begins to sing
    Ob la di, ob-la-da, life goes on, bra
    La-la, how the life goes on
    Ob-la di, ob-la-da, life goes on, bra
    La-la, how the life goes on
    In a couple of years they have built
    A home sweet home
    With a couple of kids running in the yard
    Of Desmond and Molly Jones
    Happy ever after in the market place
    Desmond lets the children lend a hand
    Molly stays at home and does her pretty face
    And in the evening she still sings it with the band
    Ob la di, ob-la-da, life goes on, bra
    La-la, how the life goes on
    Ob-la di, ob-la-da, life goes on, bra
    La-la, how the life goes on
    In a couple of years they have built
    A home sweet home
    With a couple of kids running in the yard
    Of Desmond and Molly Jones
    Happy ever after in the market place
    Molly lets the children lend a hand
    Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face
    And in the evening she's a singer with the band
    Ob la di, ob-la-da, life goes on, bra
    La-la, how the life goes on
    Ob-la di, ob-la-da, life goes on, bra
    La-la, how the life goes on
    And if you want some fun, sing ob-la-di, bla-da

I think I think I might have to restrain myself from punching them in them the neck should hear them say it out loud! One of my favorite songs of all times! I was just sitting here learning it… Finally! I play several instruments and usually just figure it out by ear, but I decided to cheat when it came to the bass line so I looked this video up!🤣
