Paul McCartney... One half of the best song writing team in music... A musical genius And he still gets excited about his Hero Elvis Presley.... What a great human being !

[Timi T.]

Yes. I'm mad at the fact that pseudo-trolling boogers like you exist. Get a life and create your own brand of music instead of spending your time criticizing the bass playing of a legend.

[CaptainFrankieT]

If he was to keep playing double bass like that his stamina would be terrible, his tone wouldn't be great and he would experience major cramps down his arm. "How some music teacher in school thinks" is called the correct way.

[Craig Brainimpact]

They was self taught so they play how the fuck they want not how some music teacher in school thinks you should do it.

[FluffyXxX]

Paul looks a lot like Han Solo in this clip. 

[CaptainFrankieT]

Not really. People are making him out to be amazing but in this video he's straight up playing the bass wrong.

[Shaun Kelley]

That fact just makes it better @:-)#

[Shaun Kelley]

How anyone could criticize that is beyond me. And, done upside down from the "wrong" side of the bass!

i think paul wrote the vast majority of the beatles songs he just credited john sometimes just incase hed accidently stolen a riff hes one of the best song writers of all time =].

[carel vanclooten]

he is the best double bass player in the world, far out!

That was killer!!! Paul McCartney has always seemed to be so down to earth. A hell of a songwriter, and always a blast to hear him sing. Wouldn't you love to hang out with him and hear him tell his uncensored stories of his adventures.

[CaptainFrankieT]

His technique is appalling.
