Discover what it is in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMtf7PtqIlw There’s another Paul McCartney bass line that I consider to be one of his absolute BESTS - but not everyone agrees.

And in this video, we’re going to look at what they are and what makes this bass line so special. __________________ Sources used in this video: Now And Then Mini Documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APJAQoSCwuA Giles Martin Interview On Virgin Radio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhaLCKIiZig Paul’s Isolated Bass Track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvByCKFWML4 #beatles #nowandthen #basslesson
