I'm sure you know but Mc Cartney said when he played this Live it was extremely difficult to play that bassline and sing harmony at the same time. I can see why :-)

Do you pick that out by ear or tab? *****5 stars

[Maggie8181]

@sbbinahee I used tabs. And I'm not suprised that McCartney said that about this bassline. I haven't tried to sing at the same time but I'm sure it wouldn't be easy. But Paul did it :)

Well done to your collaboator also it must be said!

[Maggie8181]

@sbbinahee I agree :) He did great job.

[sbbinahee]

Your bass technique is great Maggie and very accurate

[Maggie8181]

@sbbinahee Thanks :)

@MadSpectro7 With the rhythm guitar ahead of the tempo and the electric being mostly out of tune and "nowhere" close to the trebly sustain of the EMI period. Kinda clangy and noisy sounding, but I'm glad to hear it.

... the great thing about McCartney's bass lines is that they don't follow the obvious. There are always curve balls and little surprises. Maggie, you nail it. Thanks for your postings and all of those devoted hours dissecting every note.

Amazing how these songs "refresh" if you leave them alone for a few years. When doing McCartney, don't ignore his physical approach. McCartney had rhythm coming out of his pores.

You guys are in the wrong key, but other than that you're ok.
