Thank you. I am an amatuer musician, and recently, old joints in my left hand took playing guitar out of my day. So I took up bass at age 62. Thanks for sharing, and showing, the bass for Day Tripper.
You're taking a timing on the rest by hitting the strings, but you just have to cut out the E note on the first beat when you count two, not making some noise on two. You need to listen to how Paul McCartney plays much more carefully.
I recently learned this song by memory/ear (like i do everything) for a newer cover band I'm in. I've got it all wrong technically, but my way makes musical sense and provides the musical bedrock for the song & people enjoy it. I simplify here and there (as well as thicken parts to make up for missing instruments) and make bass parts my own just to get through 45 songs I've got like 3 months to learn enough for a show. Is anyone else like me or am I committing bass malpractice.
DREW JEERS It's good to put your own interpretation on things so long as you don't clash with the other instruments by stepping on their toes so to speak by over playing. Even listening to this cover and others on here I tend to pick up good bits from a few different vids alongside really listening to the original especially if you can source an isolated bass track . This is my method that works for me as I to have to learn different songs and mix of styles for a covers band.
I get harmonics that I can not control playing this, I don't use a pick so maybe the hand position of the pick helps mute those harmonics because when I play this it sounds awful.
Your F# demonstration is totally wrong. The notes are F# Bb C# E D# F#. I've listened to the song for 51 years and I've been a musician for over 4 decades. I know the bass like the back of my hand. If you're just trying to explain the main riff in E then it's fine, but there's a lot more going on during the chorus than what you are showing.
3:31 Paul McCartney starts his A chord riff on a HIGH A, and then plays the rest of the riff low. In other words: you play the first A an octave too low.
Why don't you just name off the fret numbers? I've seen people complain about how they don't understand because they're used to following the fret notes.
I'm dizzy looking at this in3dimensions,it may help some,but not I,sorry2say,good lesson,I'm learning open strings still on my own,it has its ups n downs2its feel lol

Nice bass lesson mate, well explained and easy to follow. The multiple camera angles help too. Thanks heaps.
Nice video and your bass sounds really good, too.
Thanks for the excellent bass lesson.

DREW JEERS this is the only correct way to play pop music actually

Thank you very much for the lesson. You´re a master :)
Thanks. I can actually follow you.
You should've used Paul's classic Hofner bass.
nice one . awesome cameras
Spot on, mate. Much appreciated.
What do you think of my "reversed" version of Day tripper bass?
Hope you'll watch my video, many thanks, Norby

I've always played the E on the 12, shape felt more natural
Thank you!

I'm a guitar/bass teacher just learned this for a student and you sir are correct

Nice vid friend...are you related to tom hanks?
old git no fool He looks like him with light hair, and sounds like him too lol

Does this guy sound like Tom Hanks or what?
McCartney was like most guitarists that picked up bass in the day...played more lyrically and half way up the neck.

Wrong.
Your way is harder than it needs to be. I anchor the root with my middle finger, which is my approach to scales/arpeggios.

You say “aannd a” too much, but good lesson and very good theory breakdown. Thanks
