Good, but your bass should have first been tuned to the recording.

You think it's out of tune?

I don't think so!

[Rysmugen]

You're not out of tune, but the records bass it tuned up a little more. They did this in a couple of other songs.

Quit looking at the fretboard. you look silly. But you are not alone. Many that I see here on Youtube do the same thing.

No way... McCartney generally used a pick... AND used a pick on this song, so it's appropriate that he did. PLUS, there's many great basslines in songs where you can tell a pick is used. It's a sharper more percussive sound. Listen to any post punk band i.e. christian death or orange juice (bands you probably wouldn't know) and their bass sounds great with a pick. Joy Division I believe uses a pick on the bass and New Order as well. The strokes bass player uses one too I believe. ur wrong.

It's flat compared to the recording. It just needed to be tuned UP slightly. I have perfect pitch and I can hear these things. But Great playing!
