[QUOTE=Woodstock]His bass in Something is fantastic.[/QUOTE]

I definitely agree. I like the bass in Michelle too. It just fits so perfectly. And I also agree with whoever said MMT>SPLHCB. MMT and Rubber Soul are my current favorites.

[QUOTE=Woodstock]Paul McCartney does have great basslines, not too difficult, but very creative.[/QUOTE]

Exactly, I can play Something, but I couldn't have made it up. By any means.

[QUOTE=Woodstock]Paul McCartney does have great basslines, not too difficult, but very creative.[/QUOTE]
I totally agree. His bass licks are addicting.
I personally love the on in "Hello, Goodbye".

Paul's best bass line is probably Rain, and I also love the slides on Dear Prudance.

I'm listening to "A Day In The Life" as we speak. Great song. My favorite Beatles album is by far Sgt. Pepper & The Lonely Hearts Club Band, followed by Help! and Revolver.

Yep, it's a great song.

[QUOTE=Seafroggys]Paul's best bass line is probably Rain, and I also love the slides on Dear Prudance.[/QUOTE]

I love rain, I just heard it for the first time last month. Its the first whole bass line (besides bluegrass, heh) that I figured out on my own, last Thursday. I was so proud of myself I can't even say. Maybe I should tab it :ponders:

Rain is easily the most underrated Beatle song....its not on any of the original albums (it was the B-side to Paperback Writer) and since it didn't hit #1, its rarer and thus not a lot of people would get a chance to hear it (its on Past Masters). I was lucky to hear it early in my Beatles career, and I absolutly love it.

Its like a forgoten gem in the attic of Beatles songs, another great aong on the old "Hey Jude" album that never got brought to attention. It sounds like it was snipped off of Revolver

Where is everyone?

Any news on that tour?

It seems like we're the regular posters in this thread. Shame.

Does anyone else have the Complete Scores? I bought it like five years ago, such a great book. Perfect for any cover band!

I think the record label screwed themselved up by not putting a lot of the beatles' singles on albums.
These days you can't get the original singles (or at least it's hard to) so many people won't hear/buy those songs.
They may have sold well orignally, but they don't anymore.

I am seriously considering buying the complete scores, I could use the trombone music if any :D

Its kind of nice sometimes when there are singles that didn't quite make it on CD. Its such a nice surprise to find them

Part two of she came in through the bathroom window has some great basslineage!

Who here thinks Helter Skelter is a great song. Now one of my favorite Beatles songs.

I love it. Pretty intense, probably my favorite song on the second white album disc.

I think Yer Blues rivals it.

[QUOTE=Woodstock]Who here thinks Helter Skelter is a great song. Now one of my favorite Beatles songs.[/QUOTE]

Thats probally my favorite Beatles song right now (it changes every now and then). Its just so creative.

[QUOTE=Woodstock]I think Yer Blues rivals it.[/QUOTE]


It sure does, and Sexy Sadie is pretty good too. However, I don't listen to that disc as much as the first one

The more I think about it, the more I think that the White Album is probally the best rock album of all time. Hardly any band escapes its influences. And.....well its just amazing.

Sexy Sadie is such a good song. The outtro is a great piece of music.

Btw, the Complete Scores won't have trombone music. It will give you the music in the original instruments of the song, which you could rearrange as trombone music if you wish.

[QUOTE=Med57]If we're talking about addictive basslines, the one in [I]Lady Madonna[/I] is absolutely great as well...it complements the keyboard part to absolute perfection. I'd say that's probably one of their most "fun" songs to listen to normally.[/QUOTE]

his bass in i want you (she's so heavy) is awesome. solid and then he busts out the fills. crazy. rain/ taxman (pretty much the same) are good too.

Sexy Sadie is great. Ah, all the songs on the White album are great.

[QUOTE=Woodstock]Sexy Sadie is great. Ah, all the songs on the White album are great.[/QUOTE]

Yea I find more often then not my favorite Beatles song (whitch changes day to day) comes from the white album, well or a single from the white album (Revolution, the fast one)

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't posted in so long. I was away on a trip. It was most excellent.

Anyways, The White Album. Not a huge fan of it. It's good, but I'd say Rubber Soul, Sgt. Peppers, Revolver, Abbey Road, and MMT are all superior.

Yea somtimes I get to thinking Abbey Road or MMT are better, but then I listen to Helter Skelter(sp?) or Revolution and that it becomes my favorite again. :thumb:

I've been gone for a while, but I'm back!

Anyways, I love the White Album, but I like Rubber Soul, Abbey Road, and MMT a little more. I had a fellow guitarist over on the weekend and I made him listen to Helter Skelter for the first time. I think he liked it, but he didn't really react how I did when I first heard it.:( Favorite songs from White Album: Revolution 1(fast and slow), Helter Skelter, Rocky Raccoon, Don't Pass Me By, Happiness Is A Warm Gun, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, and Yer Blues (not in that order).:)

Favorite White Album Songs (favorite changes day to day):

Dear Prudance, Continuing Story of BUngalow Bill, Happiness is a Warm Gun, I'm so Tired, Birthday, Yer Blues, Everybody's Got Something to Hide Cept for me and My Monkey, Sexy Sadie, Helter Skelter, Savoy Truffle

Favorite songs off the White Album:

Dear Prudence, Julia, Happiness is a Warm Gun, Blackbird, While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

There are probably more, but those are the ones that come to mind immediately.

My favorite songs off the white album are........the white album

How delightfully vague.

I try :thumb:

Excellent. So, this Beatallica thing, I've heard of them, never heard their stuff. They worth checking out?

[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]Excellent. So, this Beatallica thing, I've heard of them, never heard their stuff. They worth checking out?[/QUOTE]
Most likely not. Some music is just not supposed to be mixed.

Beatallica is really cool.

Hmm... I may have to check them out then.

Do you guys have any Beatle... junk? T-shirts, patches, stickers, etc.?

I went to London once and they had a Magical Mystery Tour Bus cookie jar.

Personally I am in posession of a little yellow submarine pach and a revolver T-shirt,
y tu?

I don't have any but you know what would be awsome, a yellow submarine that when you put backing soda in it it works, like in ceral boxes. That would just be awsome.

Ah, you must not be in America. We get bupkis in out cereal boxes. That would be pretty darned nifty from the sound of it
