Paul McCartney's 12 greatest Beatles bass performances | Paul McCartney's 12 greatest Beatles bass performances | Bass Guitar News. It's a strange world indeed when even Paul McCartney can't get the respect he deserves. Sure, he's half of the greatest songwriting team that ever existed. And yes, his little band The Beatles did alter the face of popular music, becoming the biggest-selling and best-loved act since the invention of the phonograph. Oh, and he's won just about every award a human possibly can without single-handedly winning a war or something. In short, he's done it all. But hey, what about his nifty bass playing?
Interestingly, McCartney didn't set out to become a bassist. Almost immediately, McCartney proved to be a natural on the instrument, transforming himself and The Beatles into innovators and trend-setters. Chops-wise, Macca's in a class of his own - he can play guitar, piano, drums, fiddle, sax, spoons, washboard, electric fence, tire iron, light bulb, red pepper and probably anything else you put in his hands.

Beatles' historic arrival in New York City 50 years ago gave Big Apple unforgettable lift. They say the world doesn't change in a day. But one day, it did. On Feb 7, 1964, events were set in motion that changed the culture so fundamentally, life for millions could be cleanly divided into before and after. When Pan Am Flight 101, carrying The Beatles, touched down at Kennedy Airport in Queens at 1:20 in the afternoon, they were met by 4,000 teenagers, 200 members of the press and more than 100 New York City police officers. “It felt as though there was a big octopus with tentacles that were grabbing the plane and dragging us down to New York,” Ringo commented in “The Beatles Anthology” documentary. The Beatles - "Norwegian Wood(This Bird Has Flown)" (Anthology Version) The Beatles 40 best songs: at 30 “Julia” Julia was written by John Lennon for his mother, she died in a traffic accident in 1958.
It is also the only solo Lennon recording in The Beatles’ song catalogue. “The only solo Lennon recording in the Beatles’ catalog, “Julia” was the final addition to the White Album, recorded just three days before the album was sequenced. His original demo, recorded in May, had included harmonies from McCartney, but this version was just Lennon’s voice and guitar. “Julia was my mother,” Lennon said. “But it was sort of a combination of Yoko and my mother blended into one” — the “ocean child” in the lyrics refers to Ono’s name, which is Japanese for “child of the ocean.”
To the end of his life, he often called Yoko “Mother They did 3 takes to perfect the guitar track, which was recorded onto four-track tape.

The Beatles - I Saw Her Standing There [New Stereo Mix] [Version by NobleStandingBull] The Beatles "Please Please Me" (custom stereo mix) Deep Beatles: The Beatles, “Her Majesty” from Abbey Road (1969) Concluding our walk through the Abbey Road medley is the brief, secret coda “Her Majesty.” At only 23 seconds, it stands as the shortest song in the Beatles catalog. However, it exemplifies composer Paul McCartney’s gift for melody, and provides a cheeky ending that winks at the audience. Her Majesty may not have had a lot to say, but the song and its formation speaks volumes. The track began life as a song fragment that McCartney brought to the Let It Be sessions at Twickenham Studios.
Written during a Scotland holiday, he introduced “Her Majesty” to the other Beatles on January 9, 1969. About two weeks later, the group returned to the track, this time back at Apple Studios. Interestingly, “Her Majesty” takes on a country twang in this version, quite different from the minimalist arrangement of the final take.

Ask Me Why The Beatles HD. Deep Beatles: “The End,” from Abbey Road (1969) The final section of the Abbey Road medley also symbolizes the Beatles winding down their careers.
Ringo Starr’s furious drum solo; the epic guitar “battle” between Paul McCartney, John Lennon, and George Harrison; the tight harmonies; and the legendary final verse lead up to “The End.” With this track, the Beatles went out at the top of their game, providing fans with a perfect summary of the 1960s spirit. Evidence points to McCartney as the main composer, as Lennon famously disliked the Abbey Road medley — even though he contributed some tracks. In 1980, Lennon dismissed “The End” as: “Paul again, the unfinished song, right? Just a piece at the end. McCartney also wanted to give all four of them a turn in the spotlight; Starr, however, hated solos and remained skeptical. In a 2009 interview with MusicRadar, sound engineer Geoff Emerick added “the thing that always amused me was how much persuasion it took to get Ringo to play that solo.

He was a giant, a great, great soul, with all the humanity, all the wit and humor, all the wisdom, the spirituality, the common sense of a man and compassion for people.
