He started with Come Together to give us a false sense of security
Wise observation! :)
Hahaha! I also thought part 1 is easy for me. Guessed Come Together then the rest left me confused 😅 I also watched 2nd Part, awesome.
@@Polaris97 I thought it will be easy too. Come together and Day tripper are the only one i recognised.
@@starla5683 ah yes, day tripper, also got it right haha
JAJAJAJAJA CIERTO!
Full respect to Paul for playing these bass lines while singing.
Except for Helter Skelter where the bass playing was John Lennon and the lead/rhythm guitar work was done by Paul McCartney.
And Geddy Lee
les claypool
It’s not as hard as it seems.
@@fabio146 I was just about to comment that!
This video:
Me *thinking I'm gonna do okay* : *completely forgets the names to every Beatles song ever*
Same thoooo
LOL 😂 I’ve been listening to them for almost 40 years and this was really hard!! I only got like 5!
I got come together. That’s it.
I could taste the song it was so on the tip of my tongue 😖
I think if you can imagine the song in your mind and even some of the lyrics, but just can't remember the name, that should count as a correct answer. I no particular song comes to mind at all, well, that's different.
Thought I was gonna nail em all after I heard come together. Not the case
Me too! I was surprisingly awful. Mad props, ultimately, to Paul, for concocting the non-obvious bass lines....many, if not most bassists have merely echoed or closely mimicked the lead line for their parts, but not Paul! Many times, Paul has composed a completely different song-within-a-song, while uniquely complementing the melody. And, as someone above correctly noted....all while singing!
Me too!
Me too, got about 8 or 9 which is decent.
Same! I was awful!
10 correct. I gotta say, for playing bass, loving the Beatles, and "easy" level, I was expecting to get all 15 right :(
i was surprisingly bad at this considering how long ive loved them for
Me too!
Interesting how the beat holding the song together and forming its foundation is quite bit different to the song we recognise. I thought, oh this'll be easy, I've got all the Beatles stuff.
I named two.
@@bellerophonchallen8861 defo, I think they have so many songs and all the bass lines are so intricate it's hard to identify them, I don't think the mixing helps though 😂
They're part of my DNA getting on for 50 years now but fluffed most of these. Think his bass isn't as prominent in the mix as it would be with today's technology. Happy to be corrected.
Same haha
Ringo deserves some credit for keeping a steady beat and allowing Paul to bounce around like that
and john deserves some credit for shaking his ass on beat so ringo could keep it steady while the crowd goes wild
@@noimandersen 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ringo was awesome
Ringo was a bloody good drummer. All of it while playing in a suit. Lol
Hey ringo came up as a dance band drummer!! That means he knew how to swing !!!!
I’m a massive Beatles fan who usually aces ‘guess the Beatles song’ stuff, but this was an interesting new challenge. Loved it! Please do more!
same!
I was surprised that many of Paul's bass lines were much more complex than I realized,
I'm a massive Beatles fan as well, and I'm ashamed to say I only got "Come Together", "Something", "Day Tripper", "Eight Days a Week" and "All my Loving" right.
Me too!
Only about half right
Great video though! I was secretly hoping someone would make a video like this! Loved it❤️
I'm not much of a Beatles fan a wow that was impossible!
I only got Come Together and Day Tripper. 😢 this just shows how underappreciated bass is.
Same here
I have the ability to listen to the bass line, blocking ou the rest of the instruments, but I only got like 5 song songs right in this challenge. It was fun though!
@@ronnielyn4147 i can do that too! Unfortunately I never spent time in actually remembering them lol
@@ronnielyn4147 everyone can do that
Those two plus "Birthday".
Man, I saw her standing there has a killing bass!
It's just a standard R&B bass line with some notes doubled.
Boogie woogie, just like Code Tech wrote
It surely does lol
You can't do it more authentic than playing a Höfner bass left-handed...
You can a better quality one then a hofner ignition that he is using
Maybe if he broke out a Jazz bass for Helter Skelter and a Ricky for basically everything on/after rubber soul
could try and get the tone a bit more accurate
@@160calories pretty sure Helter Skelter was a Fender VI, While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Dear Prudence sound more like a J Bass
It's me and my taste but.. I Really don't like the way it sounds
Had to throw in Day Tripper for all of us feeling dumb about getting almost none so far...
I consider myself more than just a casual fan of The Beatles, but that was one of the most difficult "name that song" years I've ever done.
If you miss Daytripper, you are officially tone deaf.
The first seconds are only on bass, so yeah definitely! X)
The real question here is how the HECK did Paul play that line in Day Tripper while singing
I couldn't think of the song name it drove me mad
@@fifthbeatle same thing for every Beatles song he sang.
@@fifthbeatle I don't generally find short scale basses easier to play, but they do make Day Tripper less of a stretch.
This video has showed me I’m not as familiar with the Pauls bass lines as compared to George’s work
MF DOOM
ALL CAPS
MAC PLAYS THE BASS LIKE THE RACE CARD
VILLAIN ON THE CASE TO BREAK SHARDS AND LEAVE YOUR FACE SCARRED
@@PedroPetracco My G
Lmao same
Playing bass on Beatles: rock band has prepared me for this very video
Fuckin’ same!
You have waited all your life for this...
Your purpose in life is now revealed.
Make it your own.
Did you get them all of them right? I don't dislike any of the 5 songs I failed on (Something, Hello Goodbye, Tell Me Why, While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Birthday) but they're a long way outside of my favourite 50 Beatles tunes.
I got them all but only because I played George Harrison in a Beatles cover band in the 80s.
@@blackmore4 i personally didn't get tell me why just cause I couldn't get the dlc
I thought, "Oh, I'll get most of these." I would be a liar if I said I got half.
pity Hey Bulldog wasn't there, one of my fave bass lines
I was gonna say that too! I used to play that with one of my old bands
And Rain.
Paperback Writer and I Want You (She's so heavy) too 👌
@@johnberkley6942 My favourite bassline by anybody ever!
Rain is my favourite
Embarrassed to admit you got me on a couple.
Don't be. I thought I was a Beatles pro myself. This was not easy.
I don't dislike any of the 5 songs I failed on (Something, Hello Goodbye, Tell Me Why, While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Birthday) but they're a long way outside of my favourite 50 Beatles tunes.
@@blackmore4 ...But Something and While My Guitar Gently Weeps are megaclassics
Same...I got surprised I missed Birthday and the other was Tell Me Why...but damn...classic blues riffs there afterall 😪
@@Chavezoid I like Something but not keen on the most famous White Album version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps because of Eric Clapton playing on it. I think he's the most boring and overrated player ever. Hearing him on it also makes me cross because of how much he influenced Harrison from that point on. I rate Harrison's brilliant playing from 63-68 as way cooler than anything Clapton ever did. When I listen to The White album, I programme in the orchestral mix of While My Guitar Gently Weeps instead of the take with Clapton's crap widdle-dee-deeing.
i am a life-long Beatles fanatic (youngest daughter’s middle name is Lennon) and i got 4 out of 15 🤨
way tougher than i thought and i’ve always said that Macca is a criminally underrated bass player...well played and a very cool video ✌🏼
This was much harder than I expected. Paul's lines are so seemlessly written and played that they often blend into the mix and darn near become invisible. I've been listening to the Beatles since the 60's and a few of these got by me. Great video!
I'm really embarrassed, I saw the Beatles in concert in '64 and '65, I've been an avid fan for most of my life; to me personally, they were the greatest musicians of the 20th Century, and yet I couldn't guess more than a handful of those base lines, even as well played as they were. When I saw them in Milwaukee in '64, it was so deafeningly loud that the only piece I was certain they had played was You Can't Do That, because I recognized Paul's last three notes. Thanks for including Daytripper. This video was well done, I had a lot of fun. Thanks.
These basslines are all awesome, and a prime example of why having good Bass in your songs is so important. The Beatles really outclassed everyone else in their time, and much of that is thanks to them having an actually strong bass presence
No joke, as someone who has troubles hearing deeper sounds and an avid Beatles listener, I am honestly so sad in my inability to tell the songs by bass line.
Same 😭
The bass line on "Something" is wonderful, it has always been a favorite of mine. Paul, a genius.
Who could miss 'Something' so beautiful but I must admit I struggled with a few.
I missed it. One of the five I didn't get.
I never imagined Paul’s chosen bass lines are like that. Highest respect to him (and to you too!)
I think the reason I recognized I Wanna Hold Your Hand, is because a lad at school used to play it in the music room at lunchtimes
People always play the Come Together bass line in the music room so that made it even more recognisable
I'm a musician, studied Theory, chord construction, 7 instruments, Highschool Bands to Rock to singing in the church choir, Guitar, Love The Beatles! Thanks for the lesson, that was hard and I was right about half of them!!! This 54 years old has been neglecting to hear some Bass parts. 💗 Playing with this, please don't stop.
Thank you very much!
And out of all the songs there are you would think that the Beatles would be the most recognized by many. Almost everyone has hummed a Beatles song sometime in their life for 50+ years now even if they don't know it's a song by the Beatles. I really liked the exercise and hope you will have more in the future. I'm trying to think of some other band in our time that a lot of people should know and might recognize by the Bass, ??? Good luck.
People don't realize he is one of the best bassists ever
No, because he isn’t, the Beatles strength was not in their individual musicianship, they were all good, George probably the most skilled, but their strengths were their cumulative creativity, having George Martin as producer and making music for the masses.
@@murraymarshall5865 I agree with that, but I think the mosr skilled was Paul, he could play everything, acoustic, electric guitar, drums, bass, piano, etc. Just listen to the last 2 minutes or so, of I want you she's so heavy to see how good a bassist he truly is
Something base line is, by it's own right, an astonishing piece of art.
Iremember a little story, don't know if it's true or not, about John arguing that shouldn't be played that way since it sounded like a long solo and it would diminish the final result.
@@rporta They were all accomplished musicians, I listen to their songs often.
@@murraymarshall5865 same, they are great
by me the most recognisable are Come together and Something and Day tripper and ISHST, which I listened to very often
What is ISHST?
@@itamarbushari88 I Saw Her Standing There
Come Together is so recognizable that I got it from the thumbnail video with no sound
@@Bella-nt7ec ah ok
@@derekpink 💀I'm dead
You gotta have I Want You (She's So Heavy) on a list like this... the bass absolutely defines that song. Love the list and the Hofner though
I was really hoping Dear Prudence would be there. One of my all time fav bass lines.
One of my favs as well!!
How Paul both plays and sings those rather complicated riffs expecially 'I wanna hold your hand' is a mystery to me - genious! Love The Beatles!
Very true! I can play I Want To Hold Your Hand and All My Loving EASILY, but with no chance of being able to sing along with them. Maybe I just haven't tried hard enough. My voice sucks anyway. LOL
Thank you! I'm a lifelong Beatles fan, and yet I was completely flummoxed. It shows how much I didn't know about the Beatles' catalog, and was vastly informative and entertaining at the same time! I could only recognize the "gimmes," the obvious songs ("Come Together," "Day Tripper"), and I though I recognized "Birthday" I didn't get it before time ran out. I was clueless on the others, except for "Helter Skelter" which I mistook for "Revolution," probably because of their faster tempos. A non-musician (obviously), this video greatly deepened my appreciation for the Beatles. Thanks!
I am so mad at myself for missing Something 😑
Same, my friend
Which one did you miss?
@@chrisjt86 "Something"
@@ashutoshmadhwani2335 I know, but what song did you miss?
@@chrisjt86 There is a song in the Abbey road album written by George Harrison featuring the Beatles and their partners in the music video
that particular song
Paul, the master of melodic bass. Dear Prudence is one of my personal favorite bass runs of his!
ayy 14/15 damn somehow didn't get Tell Me Why... just shows you how genius paul's parts were when you can easily guess so many of them.
I got the same
Me too
I got 11, but you're right-especially in the early days, bassists were kind of expected to hit the chord root, hit it on the beat, and not try and get fancy with it.
While my guitar gently weeps is probably my fav bass line of the Beatles
I guessed all the songs except Penny Lane and Hello Goodbye. Anyway, it's amazing how recognizable The Beatles bass lines are. I loved the video.
Same!
Great
Penny Lane is so easy! Paul’s bass is the lead instrument
Hello Goodbye is my favorite bass line ever!
I wasn't sure and guessed Martha My Dear.
Love it! But Old Brown Shoe's bassline is slightly better in my book :)
Only missed Eight days a week and While my guitar gently weeps !!
3:45
Also 5:22 for eight days a week :)
@@gustavoorio He knows the songs are there, he just didn't guess it right
@@MWM_YT check above
But my guitar gently weeps until a Beatles song, but a George Harrison song you weren't listening for that so really you only missed eight days a week
McCartney's a genius for these bass lines alone.
Indeed!
as a bassist who was absolutely obsessed with the Beatles for a good year and still love them after I've had all the training I need for this
Paul's bass lines were so creative and extraordinary that you cant't even what song it is. But the it blends on so seamlessly
Dear Sir Paul: you play and sing, challenging enough, and *you never look down at the damned bass* - what's up with that??!!
This is a great quiz. It highlights how integral McCartney's Bass lines to the songs. Told an old friend who said "I'm sick of the Beatles" ( he meant the "legendary" status). I said "Man, just listen to them as a Band, pretty young to be coming up with stuff we take for granted now, like Air". With the perspective of age, it's amazing how quickly and instinctively they progressed with all the media stuff going on, while so young, and continued to afterwards, in their own ways. Thank you!
That was fun! Do another one! Listening to the Beatles for 57 years and I missed two. Missed Help and Hello Goodbye. I can't believe it! That was great!
That's the 2 that I missed.
He's obviously not playing them right! 😉
You both did much better than me. I don't dislike any of the 5 songs I failed on (Something, Hello Goodbye, Tell Me Why, While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Birthday) but, in my defence, they're a long way outside of my favourite 50 Beatles tunes.
15/15 My goal as a bass player was to learn all the Beatles songs
Once you master all his basslines from volume 1 to their last album, certainly you will learn a lot about bass theory and become a great bass player like the legendary female bass player, Carol Kaye. They are both melodic bass players. Most of my favorite bass runs are Hey Bull Dog, Something, Drive My Car, And Your Bird Can Sing, Taxman among others.
What a testimony to the Beatles chord vocabulary ..so much color on the melody that I couldn’t recognize two thirds of the songs by the root notes!! Wow
I got 13 out of 15 and am feeling moderately pleased with myself.
yoooo same, feels pretty good
This makes me appreciate Paul even more... what a legend
I think of any song the Beatles put out, “All My Lovin” will remain as one of my favorite basslines by them, as well as one of my favorite songs
Huge Beatles fan for 30 years but no musical talent. Very cool perspective to experience their music. Truly appreciate and I enjoyed it very much.
Thank you!!
Wow, this was harder than I thought. I can't believe I missed Tell Me Why, Help, Penny Lane and some others.
Nice lefty Hofner violin bass there.
I was mad i missed Penny Lane as well!
got 5 ... which is 2 better than i did on Queen. This time, i actually knew all the songs (once they were revealed). But really, Daytripper and Helter Skelter were giveaways. Love this! Thanks!
Very good
I've got close to 2000 songs on Spotify and have never heard a bass player as good as Paul McCartney. Seeing him live just confirmed that this is true. He had my wife and I in years during that 3 1/2 hour performance.
Interesting fact: Helter Skelter bass was actually played by John!
Of all songs I didn't get Tell me Why and Penny Lane.
Correctomundo. See here: www.beatlesbible.com/forum/recording-and-musicology/the-guitars-the-beatles-used-per-song/
The only reason I got Tell Me Why was because of the rhythm at the beginning. And Penny Lane at first I thought was Fixing A Hole but the chromatic walk down and key change (I have pretty good ears for that) changed my mind. Didn’t get While My Guitar Gently Weeps. One of the few songs I’ve never looked up the bass to and the countermelody of it confused me .
@@TheMrcrazy711 Acutally got Tell Me Why as well and didn't get While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Tried it 4 or 5 times but it didn't occur to me what it could be. Penny Lane was rather easy in my opinion.
Listen to the song stingray by the Shadows (I think) for the fender 6 string bass being used as a lead instrument.
Me too!
Some of those basslines could have fitted other songs... because I was singing along!
I got 9 (ever done the bassline to Number 9?!)
No one's gonna talk how's he play Paul's bassline also left handed
:) unfortunately I'm lefty, but I can't sing like Paul
@@LeftyBassman no one can (and write). That's why he's a billionaire GOAT).
@@LeftyBassman Paul is also a left handed bassist. So, no problem at all.
@@gtrdoc911 so true - the 1 sentence
He could by getting the dynamics right but all he's doing is getting all the notes. No dynamics and no feel whatsoever!
Most of the songs that I get is from the 1967-1970 Beatles because most of Paul's basslines in that time are all iconic to me
For some reason the only Beatles song I could remember while watching this was Octopus’s Garden which made guessing VERY difficult.
As a Beatlemaniac, I'm ashamed to say you got me on 4-5 of those.
This Proves what great compositions the beatles created especially in the later stages of their Career, the single instruments rarely just play just a melody for themselves, they always serve the greater picture to create iconic melodys in unity with the whole band. I think thats the reason why its so hard to recognize the songs only with a bass line because the bass line rarely just plays a foundation for the guitar or a riff on its own, instead Paul plays always something that creates a deeper layer of melody in the song that works perfectly with the rest of the instruments.
This is the most fun I've had in a long time lol
That was nice! i would like you to make a harder one haha, got em' all
Nobody likes show offs
That’s what she said
Saludos al Dari28
Yeah like Eleanor rigby lol
Only ones I got were "Come Together", "Day Tripper", and "Helter Skelter". Last one almost threw me, because on the track John isn't so adept at playing bass, so he just thumps along as loud as he can.
Wow. This shows how much of a genius Paul actually is.
That was a lot harder than I thought it would be. Day Tripper and Come Together were the only ones I got lol
I got 12 out of 15. I won't list the ones I missed in case people read the comments first by accident. This was REALLY fun, please do more things like that what a fun musical challenge!
Bass guitar is like the spine of a song, you can bearly see it, but is there, holding everything together.
Wow. Very well-said.
I got 7 out of the 15 and I am a life long Beatles fan. When the bass line mirrors the melody,I get them-if not-they escape me.
I love the Beatles and I only got 4 right, much harder than I thought it would be
14/15! Damn, like a lot of other people I missed Tell Me Why
same! i got 13/15 it sounded familiar vaguely familiar but couldn't remember the song lyrics/name, was completely stumped on While My Guitar though
Got them all at the first seconds! Funny task, Lefty Bassman, I really enjoyed this... Credits go to the genius of Paul, and to you for your accurate playing and your generosity at showing us all those gems. We must admit that, in some cases, the bass line IS the song! Cheers from Buenos Aires. Keep up and please do more!
Thank you very much, I'm already working for a new video
I’ve been playing bass for over 50 years (not a typo) and covered all these. Utterly ashamed to say I missed 5 of them! Nice job Lefty.
Fantastic video and I'm ashamed that I only scored 5 out of 15. Now where were Paperback Writer and Hey Bulldog? Thanks for sharing your skills.
Got 5. Well played that man and well played Paul, of course, especially as he's singing a lot of these too.
Guys great news, I guessed the first one!
That's it have a great rest of your day
been playing and studying bass every day for for about 2.5 years now, and I have to say, I've discovered hundreds of great bassists, and Paul still ranks up there as one of my all time favorites!!
Got all of them except while my guitar gently weeps. Cant believe how powerful that counter melody.
That was harder than I thought it would be! I missed Tell Me Why totally. Great video, I enjoyed that, and it highlights how good the bass lines are.
14/15 Missed Eight days a Week because my mind went blank and I couldn't remember what it was called, lol.
Having been a Beatles fan since 1964, and being an amateur bass player myself, I'm embarrassed to say that I only got 12 of the 15. But this was great fun and well done. Thanks!
Only missed two. Paul delivered some seriously iconic bass riffs. Well done!
I only missed Tell Me Why
Same here.
4:17
Tell me why
Same
That’s like the only one I got😳
Only got Come Together, Day Tripper and Birthday. That was quite difficult. At the beginning of Hello, Goodbye, I thought it was Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
This is awesome. My friend and I used to play this game back in the '80s/'90s by singing the basslines. We did Beatles, but other bands as well like The Police, Talking Heads. I actually got 13, but I did have to stop and re-listen before the timer was up on a couple of the tunes, and I didn't get All My Lovin' until the very last 3 seconds of it. The ones I missed were Hello/Goodbye and Tell Me Why. Can't wait to try the next ones- great job Lefty!
you are a wonderful bass player! i think paul's bass work is often overlooked, he's so fantastic
Love this video, used it in a zoom quiz the other day so thanks!

Greatest bass player in pop history. He's done some other stuff too.
Well if you’re not a musician plus a bass/guitar player you’re gonna find them pretty hard to tell because of Paul’s ingenuity. I play guitar but have probably learnt more about improvising from Paul’s bass parts than from George’s guitar ones. I also like to listen to his isolated bass tracks fairly often, still didn’t get Tell me why and Gently weeps. Think I’ll make a conscious effort to learn to play all of his Beatles basslines and how they interact in each song. This video planted the seed. 👌🏼
This was so hard! I only got around half right, even though I managed to get most on the medium difficulty haha
1. Come Together (Obviously)
2. I want to hold your Hand (Verse)
3. When I'm 64
4. Help!
5. Something
6. Hello Goodbye (After guessing a few seconds)
7. I saw her standing there
8. While my Guitar Gently Weeps (Not George played the lead guitar, but Eric)
9. Tell Me Why (After guessing and singing this song in my head)
10. Day Tripper (Just like how the guitar starts off)
11. Eight Days A Week
12. Birthday (Because the bass and guitar plays the riff together)
13. Penny Lane
14. All my Loving
15. Helter Skelter (After a few seconds of guessing and singing the song
Nice job. It highlights how genius Macca is on bass.
As a Beatle freak for more than half a century, I'm embarrassed to admit I only got nine (number nine, number nine...), and that was with repeated listenings (using the left-arrow key before the countdown reached zero) on several. Five had me completely stumped, and I misidentified "When I'm Sixty-Four" as "Maxwell's Silver Hammer."
And yeah, "Come Together," "Day Tripper," and "Birthday" were gimmies.
I've only guessed "Day Tripper", Come together", "Helterk Skelter" and "When I'm sixty-four" 😣
Such rich bass lines, impressive.
100%!!! This was so fun! We definitely need more of these!
Damn dude - As I 'deep' fan I ace most superficial Beatles quizzes and this shit stumped me most of the time!
