I don't sing and have no intention of trying. It's all I can do to remember my Bass part. This video was so refreshing and massively entertaining. Whoever dreamt it up, go to the top of the SBL class. Brilliant!
Woohoo! Most of the credit goes to Sharon Renold - the bassist on screen - for writing, filming, recording and editing it. XD The rest of the content team was happy to contribute in whatever ways they could, though.
I hope folks at Berklee and any music school are taking notice and holding this up as a fabulous example of how someone can launch from school into a stunning career in music. I love all that you're doing and can't wait to see what you choose to do next.
That was such a fun video! As a bassist who also tries to sing a bit sometimes I enjoyed it a lot :-) You sing great! Very in tune, lots of forward focus (bet you cut through the mix like a japanese butcher's knife!), you also have some soulful vibe to your voice when singing softer, and your harmonies are top notch! And Ian's lows, WHOA! Those lowest notes have almost Zappaesque quality to them. Your duet was absolutely stellar ❤️ The world needs more videos like this!
Of the three instruments I play (bass, drums, and guitar), I find it most difficult to sing while playing bass. Many of the bassline's syncopations don't match with more straight ahead vocal parts, causing me to either match the syncopation with my voice, or straighten out the line. As mentioned in the video, I generally favor simplification of the bassline to ensure the voice is on point. Side note: I want that Warwick!
@@tbeau6663important is definitely the word. The beatles contributed a lot, would somebody else have done it if they didnt? Probably, but they got to it first
❤️’d that team effort on “You Never Give Me Your Money.” 🥳Great job. That’s one of “those” Beatles tunes that always punches me in the gut for some reason.Both👍👨🏻
The duet achieved all the things music should. It made me happy, feel inspired to want to play with people again, nostalgic and entertained. To say, “I loved it” is an understatement. Seriously, Cheers!
in love with the all the stuff you do at SBL 👏 often when creators expand, they loose the original vibe that people love about the channel. With you guys, it feels like you made a great channel so much better! ❤
I bought myself solid body ubass( a side step from my other Ukes) This awesome gal will be my inspiration. You rock sister. Thank you for sharing your gift xxxxx
Fantastic! I've always wondered how somebody like Chris Squire could play bass and sing at the same time and now I know the answer is just... practice. Thank you, Sharon, for that most insightful and enjoyable lesson. If you were to record an album full of Beatles songs like that, I could listen to it all day.
Thanks for this video! I sing and play, but rarely have done them together. People like Sir Paul and Geddy Lee (among others) have always amazed me. "Fool On the Hill" seems like a good place to start. Some Beatles songs are a little high in my vocal range.
I love this! As a bass player with aspirations of singing as well, this is the kind of thing I want to work on! Please keep doing content on this topic. Bravo, SBL!
Another great video from Sharon. On " Something" Paul is credited with the backing vocal so presumably the harmony in the B section. What makes that interesting is how different the two basslines are. The A section when he isn't singing is simpler but much less linear than the much more complicated but more linear B section. I find that the linearity often makes more of a difference than how complicated it is. You often find Paul's bass lines have the less linear pieces in between vocal lines.
Great video, for Hofner users he uses the switches, 2 up middle down. He tries to adjust his tone to the point where it hides the attack of his picking. And make sure you have flats on it. Pyramids if you want what Paul uses.
No word of a lie, on the first piano notes of You Never Give Me Your Money, I chocked. When the songs fully kicked in, I cried. I’m a newbie bass guitar learner and that album means the world to me, it’s my favourite. I can’t wait to be able to play it 👍
A slight modification to the idea that "voice is king". As a singing bass player my point is view is, you have to choose one. You can't concentrate on both, so figure out which one is more complicated, or the one you want to play with more and make sure you lock in the secondary instrument. That way you can really go to town on your primary instrument for that particular song.
Love this video. I found that plugging my bass and a mic into a mixer and playing/singing along with headphones really helped with pretty much all of the things mentioned in this video. You can hear every mistake on your bass as well as your pitch. It really helped me with learning how to breath and keep time while singing. Thanks for the video
@@devinebass Hey, I'm also enjoying your podcast channel, so much insight plus the ins and outs about basses. I wish I could of had something like this 40 years ago. Keep the good stuff coming dudes!
AWESOME job, Sharon! Definitely a lesson we should all learn. I've been playing drums and singing for years, easy peasy! But bass and sing? Forget about it!
Another fantastic video from Sharon! Your singing voice is beautiful. I have to say though, my favorite part was watching Ian go, “me, me, me me, me” 😜. I thought our special guest at the end was going to be Lydia! Love this new content style. Thanks SBL!
This comment makes me so happy. But I'm not sure people would have been as excited to see me as Ian on the video XD #whotheheckisLydia Thank you though, for saying that 😭
Its such and important cool skill to have. In my case I had a crash course, in an afrocuban gig, everybody had to sing. Omg... it was quite a challenge. 16 years later I'm still doing it and been improving by the by. So, I'd say start simple with roots and white or round notes... nail the melody along with that root, and from there start to make it more complex. For complex lines and melodies, there is no substite for hard work... try and understand the interaction between the bassline and the melody, there are common points that will help you figure the pattern, and from there it'll always start to make sense... and the good part is that it will feel freakin great and it will open a whole lotta doors for you. Cheers
Even George Harrison said he has no idea where Paul came up with the melodies. I agree . As far as bass lines from song to song, every time I play a song, be it my own or not , I hear/play something just a little bit different. No rhyme or reason, just comes out that way. A tad different only adding/subtracting pick ups and inflections.
I love it! This video inspires me so much to keep going and practice! One day, i want to be able to do this. It is the creative outlet I have been craving for years but didnt fully know or understand the feeling. THANK YOU!
Sharon - you nailed it! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Loved everything about this video - most of all how your joy showed through while you were playing/singing these examples. I could see it in your previous SBL videos but it really showed through on this one - YOU HAVE SOME MAD SKILLS! - add to that the killer rendition of You Never Give Me Your Money that you and Ian did!!! Bravo! Keep 'em coming! P.S. When you played the slow version of Paperback Writer it was uncanny how everything was spot on in sync - it was better than using the slowdowner!!!
Really enjoyed that one. Between you and Ian actually coming in on the last song to provide harmonies, it was great fun. So here's a bass line challenge for you, and one that gives me fits. Really enjoy singing the Beatles song, "Don't Let Me Down". I can sing and play all of it just fine except for the part that starts, "I'm in love for the first time, don't you know it's going to last." I can play it without singing it just fine and I can sing without playing it, but I'm lucky to do both at once 2 times out of 5.

I agree
Please!!
More of this content, please. Being able to sing at least backup is key for getting more gigs!

What a stellar performance. Very vibrant. You both represented the works of Sir Paul McCarthy and the Beatles exceptionally well.👍🔥✌
Silly Love Songs has a tragically underrated bass line
So true! I love this baseline 😎
There’s also a version with Louis Johnson on bass. 🔥 ruclips.net/video/RN6lWjN0ups/видео.html
@@pop_polizei I also love that version! Thank you for sharing!

Paul didn't just play bass... he created GREAT bass lines. He was the most important rock musician of the 20th century.
His bass playing is a song within the song.
I'm not sure that 'important' is appropriate. He was one of many legends of his time. Certainly not the greatest
@@tbeau6663important is definitely the word. The beatles contributed a lot, would somebody else have done it if they didnt? Probably, but they got to it first
There's no greatest Paul shares one of crowns the@tbeau6663

Your voices blend really well together!
I’m soo happy I watched this to the end! Great job with all the covers, and thanks for the advice.
