Taxman (Bass Cover) - The Beatles

[bluehazeboy]

Really good cover ,nice epiphone ,I have one too

[tornmask1]

i enjoyed very much ur entertaining Epiphone Viola Bass presentation & cool haircut chap, cheers! x0]

[TheBeatlesHere]

How much would a real Hofner cost?

[absuintrdity]

your face is smilar to paul :>

[jordandunnn95]

HOLY SHIT....you're Paul McCartney... :):):)

[sansan2992]

You look like a 1964 version of Paul!! Great cover also :)

[megamees2008]

the first 2 seconds i thougt you where ian from SMOSH

[975mas]

lol you flipped the video to look like you're actually lefty..i can tell its flipped because your shirt is. I cant blame you...i would do the same, but i actually am a lefty so i wouldnt need to in the first place

[Gehr96]

Lol he plays a revolver song with a rubber soul t-shirt :D

[horowizard]

Very very nice job up until the bridge. The line changes up a bit and you didn't catch that. Listen again and keep up the good work.

[ThirteenPeeps]

Wow. You look EXACTLY like a grown up version of my friend Cody Gosselin here in Barre. Also Paul. Nice Job.

[vampiregirl410]

Yees u look exactly like Paul. U play bass very good and Ohhh ur so hot. :D

[finndigg]

Sounds good. What kind of strings are you using?

[XxXRapidoSxXx]

You really look like Paul O__o Left handed and face... Me too I'm left-handed but no Hofner's left-handed in my country :(

[pbnpete1]

@XxXRapidoSxXx He's not left handed. He mirrored the video. I know this because the Rubber Soul album on his shirt is flipped and when the head stock of the bass comes into view, it says, "enohpipE."

[XxXRapidoSxXx]

@pbnpete1 Yes... That I see... NP :(

[KenleyStubrick]

I think for Sting was taxman great source of inspiration...for example Driven to tears has roots in this music, i think.

[ramirezchad]

I rewinded your video a couple of times to learn the

song -_-

.........

Man so I just bought one of these and I can't seem

to get it tuned.

The tuning is very random and I've been messing around

with it for about a week now without advancing haha

Did you have any problems with yours??

Any recommendations lol?

[MattTC1028]

@ramirezchad i actually don't own this bass anymore. i sold it and bought a real hofner. i never had those issues. you should take the bass in for repair because that's very odd

[MrTatupico]

You like Paul McCartney!!!

I'm lefty too but I play the guitar with right arm...

I wanna be like Paul just like you!

I am a japanese...sorry for my strange English.

[thesupermkgod]

the dislike bar is like justin biebers penis it barely gets bigger every time gays touch

[lilamcglamour]

Hello, Paul, now you're younger, would you mary me? *-* heehee o/

[pheelyfan1]

Great cover <3

[cravedave01]

I like the mirrored video effect!

[MajorracoonStudios]

he's even mouthing out the BOM BOM on the bass LOL

[alltruenatural]

you should audition for a beatles movie....NOW!!

[MrBeatlesFan99]

It's obvious he's not left handed. Look at his shirt. The rubber soul cover is filpped. Btw, great cover. And is that a real hofner?

[VanDalgyonTheDark]

you good!, quieres hacer una banda conmigo? =P

[itsbridgetlogann]

Hey, I have been taking guitar lessons from my dad for a few years. I also take piano lessons, which are very expensive, So i was wondering, once you are pretty good at the guitar, is the bass easy pick up on your own?

[MattTC1028]

@itsbridgetlogann yeah its pretty much the same thing, but the feel is different. you can pick it up very easily

[itsbridgetlogann]

Omg, you got the hair down buddy.

[Midnightpitbull2]

you look like him, play lefty, and your playing a viola bass. you are paul

[cravedave01]

@Midnightpitbull2

hes not a lefty if you look at his shirt rubber soul is mirrored which means its a video effect. he does look like him though

[hilliardcole]

he looks like paul

[hizle4]

you should be paul in a beatles tribute band.

[PRLunitra]

Your face is Paul:)

[stephkills]

Hello Paul :)

[benjadria]

hey is paul!!

[kingfanboi]

hes just a wanna be putting the camrea on lefty flip you can tell by looking at his rubber soul shirts its backwards meaning he put the camrea on lefty flip well played

[jeffkahl]

@niveknagor this is an epiphone viola bass, not a hofner like mccartney used.

[CBDrummerJoe]

holy crap its paul :D lol im joking you do lok like him alot though

[niveknagor]

@jeffkahl are youkidding! Paul McCartny was a left and made this bass famouse!!! anyway you can get it at guitar center

[Yoshi4drums]

You have got a super luoS rebbuR T-Shirt :)

[disgrl4]

Lol, I'm not the only one here who thinks you look like McCartney at first glance! And a plus: you play leftie like him.

[paulbass19]

Cool!

[Shminkingofgin88]

WOW. You look a lot like Paul. Thats so bad ass lol. Like weirdly similar hahaha. That is so awesome. Plus you are great at bass.

[Warshadow4]

are u in a band?

[MattTC1028]

@Warshadow4 no right now, im not.

[suzintheburg]

Hey look!  Its Paul!

[mlandetta]

No mames estas igualito a Paul McCartney namas te falta tocar como el.

[BLEACH01Z]

u look like a baby paul mccartney. thats cool!

[ArtsLolo]

Good cover...

[jbassman666]

holy shit man you look alot like paul and great playing too!

[jeffkahl]

i didn't know they made the Viola left handed! where did you get it at?

[MattTC1028]

@jeffkahl its a righty...the program i use automatically flips the image. they make it like a mirror. i didnt flip it on purpose.

[surfjabroni]

@MattTC1028 well it certainly doesn't hurt having a video of you playing lefty like Paul!

[haus05]

@jeffkahl umm mcartney was a lefty i believe

[kingfanboi]

@haus05 he is playing lefty cant u see

[kingfanboi]

@haus05 sorry bout mistake just noticed he put the camrea on lefty flip

[CBDrummerJoe]

@jeffkahl they do make them im sure but there probably really rare what paul did was get a righty and flip it over and restring it lefty style and did something to the bridge it still sounds great thats what i wanna do

[leonpal14]

@jeffkahl they still make viola bases left handed hceck ebay? or amazon.. musicians friend...

[ThatVestGuyGaming18]

@jeffkahl they better make it in lefty or paul could have never played it

[tettestagg]

...but you don't play like Paul.

[Dannybomb]

lol is it just me, or does he look a bit like McCarthy himself?

[HRHStewartIIRegina]

you look like paul mcartney m8

[internazionalikos2]

if you're playing bass like this, then i'm sure you're great at guitrar,,,,,, very good

[Paul14880]

Hey buy a Violin Höfner, Pierre Cardin's costum and you are for the stage ;D

[calumlane]

nice cover . you look like a mic between paul mccartney and al pacino

[zuchann]

omfg... you look like paul, you're lefty, and you have his bass. you have to meet him. xDD

[Kraboobee]

No frikkin way... Guy who looks like Paul with a left handed Hofner shape bass? Wtf is this? No, you know what this is? It's a video of Paul from the late 60s covering his own band's song <_<

Well played man

[dharmaseed]

You have a great sense of timing, for being a lead guitarist. Keep up the good work!

[ClemenzaKimble]

This may sound odd, but as well as the Hofner violin bass and being left handed, you actually look a bit like Paul McCartney. Dunno if it's just the hair.

[funzi159]

If you hadn't told me you weren't a bassguitar player I would never have noticed!!! Great playing :D :D :D

[kingfanboi]

man u look just like paul mccartney and nice epiphone viola bass

[ibrokemycar]

i have the same bass guitar as you :D the only difference is, im a noob at playing it XD

[Bassrenagade]

OMFG you look like paul!!

[kingfanboi]

@Bassrenagade i no rite

[MattTC1028]

@mattman2096 haha no...new jersey.

[ruskybalboa]

holy crap, you look just like him!

[kingfanboi]

@ruskybalboa i no rite

[BROOKS39]

Cool...You should play it on a Rickenbacker 4001. Sounds better.

[turntapzap]

You look like Paul.

[Beatzach]

Nice job, kid. Great shirt also.

[Spades1167]

u look just lik paul

[MrTommyTownshend]

dude u like paul. u could be his kid

[MattTC1028]

haha thanks dude!

[superduperryane]

@MrTommyTownshend ha ha he TOTALLY does. lol good job on bass, dude! =]

[Nickdragon77]

@MrTommyTownshend He Does Look Like Paul

[tjsmith51]

@MrTommyTownshend Yea man I thought that too. Your left handed, have Beatle hair, Paul Facial expressions and play Taxman pretty well. You have my subscription.

[4liferocker88]

@MrTommyTownshend hey you're right!! IT'S PAUL!!!

[TheMarijuana7]

it's not right

[MattTC1028]

read the info.... and then watch my redo video.

[TheMarijuana7]

ahhh

[thewhitejimihendrix]

Dude you're a lefty and you look just like him! Are you like Paul's long lost son or something? lol Great cover!

[MattTC1028]

hahah thanks man!! i love paul. but i'm actually not a lefty. the thing i film on for some reason automatically flips the image. i didn't do that on purpose.

[BetterThanThs]

OMG you play the bass like paulie, great, congrats

[atheistasylum]

Yeah!

[adelinegomez]

OMG YOU LOOK LIKE PAUL

[MattTC1028]

hahah thank you. so many people on here have told me that.

[nico1245c]

@adelinegomez Hell yeah! But I think he needs to listen a little closer to the structure... after it goes to C7, changes to G7 and doesn't come back to D7, which is what you, @MattTC1028, are playing. Anyway I think is quite good!

[stephanmanahan]

nice vid bro, im learning on how to play this song..great job man

btw, thats pretty awesome your lefty.. i bought the viola and dont you hate the way the neck is heavier than the 'head' part?

great job bro

[MattTC1028]

thanks man. but im actually not a lefty. i filmed this in photobooth on a mac and it automatically flips the image. its really annoying. but thanks anyway. and yeah the viola is great and yeah it is annoying how neck heavy it is.

[sunflowerchild77]

hi paul mccartney <3

[Dempsmeister]

u look like paul, and ur a left handed guitarist so i reckon u could be in a very successful beatles tribute band

[PaulMcCartneyFan]

Actually the video is flipped to be left handed... Notice the shirt is backwards? But good none the less...

[MattTC1028]

i actually didnt flip the video. what i filmed on automatically flips the image.

[quiznationrules]

You look too much like Paul for one, and how can an Epiphone Viola bass have 3 dials? Mine only has 2.

[MattTC1028]

yours only has 2? weird. ive never see that. i have one for each pickup, and one for tone.

[quiznationrules]

I guess what's a tone dial for you is a switch for me. It alternates between viola bass and regular bass.

[deadboyrunning]

you sorta look like paul lol

[MattTC1028]

haha lol thanks man...hes like my idol.

[Nick5379]

How often are those on there? Because I always see some but I'm saving money for one and want it to be there when I get the money.

[Ybanez893]

sweet dude i have the same bass. do u have flatwound strings on the bass? it gives the bass the beatles sound

[MattTC1028]

well now i do. i actually filmed this like the day after i bought the bass on ebay. so i do now. but here no. but i know it totally improves the sound!

[Ybanez893]

yea man the bass is fucking awsome. i use it 4 every beatles song. and then use my fender on other songs. i want to get a rickenbacker but they dont realy have any of them in canada

[MattTC1028]

oh man a rickenbacker 4001 would be sick!

[Ybanez893]

i would sell my left nut 4 one of those

[blahblah996]

I like your playing man, theres just one thing i didn't like...why did you flip the video around so it looks like ur a lefty? I can tell you did because the album pic on your shirt is backwards, but still nice playing, just don't make it seem like your a lefty when your not...

[MattTC1028]

hah thanks man. and im on a mac and its really weird. i recorded in photobooth and it is like a mirror it automatically flips the image. haha i got asked that before. i didnt do that on purpose.

[blahblah996]

ok, phew, for a second i was getting kinda angry <----- (don't take it personal) nice playing by the way!

[rocker8650]

haha you do look like paul in some parts and even through you do guitar knowing bass is good 2 the more instuaments you know more oprtunintes you have trust me

[MattTC1028]

thanks man i agree with you 100%!

[kb1425]

Awesome! Nuff said!

[RolyatHok]

you forgot to throw in a small riff at 0.55 minute

[MattTC1028]

yea i know like i said in my description i missed some changes because this was mainly to show off the bass.

[RolyatHok]

well, it still sounds great.

[MattTC1028]

thanks!

[frenchytouch]

at some moments ,you look like paul! nice!

[MattTC1028]

hah thanks man!

[kooodeal]

Awesome music, I just got my second guitar ,my fender got stole when i was a kid.Now i start over but ,I 'm a lefty,which I never knew as a kid ,as they switched me at 5years old.

[bauersnarky]

Haha, nice video flippage. btw, I put up Drive My Car on my youtube page, check it out.

[MattTC1028]

thanks! i know man i saw...awesome job!

[00bjchino00]

you should come to my house and play the saxaphone on dietz

[MattTC1028]

haha chino no.

[lptomtom]

Wow, didn't know there were lefty Violas!

[MattTC1028]

haha theres not. i have a mac and it automatically reverses the picture. i am a righty

[PbLBass]

plop hahaha great video!

[poppenstank]

Hey sorry I meant to comment back on your wet ground comment but i accidentally deleted it haha sorry. But yeah thanks man.

But the real reason I'm commenting is because you did a good job with this! I love taxman!

[MattTC1028]

oh awesome thanks man!

[TheSgt626]

sorry i meant a guitar pick

[MattTC1028]

yes i am. most people who play guitar then bass end up using a pick. paul uses a pick =D

[kooodeal]

He's back to a pick after Heather Mills got him using a salon glued on long nail.

[Rooney675]

i didnt know paul mccartney became young again ;]

[MattTC1028]

haha thank you!

[TheSgt626]

are you using a pic? i cant tell
