Paul McCartney is one of the best pop bass players in the world,
and he was at a creative peak during the time he played with The
Beatles. This is the first book to present a musical analysis of
his consistently inventive and influential bass playing of the
period. At the core of the work are full transcriptions (including
Tab and chord names) of ten of McCartney's most revered bass parts:
"You Won't See Me", "Drive My Car", "The Word", and "In My Life"
from "Rubber Soul"; the classic b-side "Rain"; "Taxman" and "I'm
Only Sleeping" from "Revolver"; "Lovely Rita" from "Sgt Pepper";
"Dear Prudence" from the "White Album"; and "Something" from "Abbey
Road". Each of these ten key tracks is taken apart and examined in
detail to show today's bassists how much we can still learn from
McCartney's remarkable playing skills. How does his phrasing and
choice of notes shape each bassline? What are McCartney's melodic
sources, and how does this relate to his abilities as a songwriter
and composer? The ten transcriptions are set in the context of
McCartney's role as bass player in The Beatles from the first
single, "Love Me Do" in 1962, to the last album, "Let It Be" in
1970. Drawing on an interview with McCartney, much of which has not
been published before, the authors show how he started as a
guitarist in the group but soon came to expand and transform bass
playing, bringing new musical ideas and a fresh outlook on sound
that virtually defined the role of the modern bassist in pop music.
All bass players owe a debt to McCartney's groundbreaking and
revolutionary work with The Beatles, and for the first time this
book shows exactly why.
