#I was zooted and listening /very/ intently to Paul’s delicious (but admittedly v busy) bassline on Something recently#& thought ‘this is the best thing I’ve ever heard in my gd life#but I’m kinda surprised George didn’t mind Paul musical genius-ing all over his masterpiece’#and then I wiki-ed it and George did in fact mind lmfao#said sth like ‘Harrison asked McCartney to tone it tf down but he refused’#tfw Paul’s 100% right but is bloody annoying about it (via @dovetailjoints)
#love that Paul just played his bass lile he'd have played his guitar#melodically and inventively (via @beatlessideblog)

#also i like how the george quote is not a compliment#i feel like he is physically incapable of complimenting paul#lil brother vibes (via @goodbye-home-demo)
#I love ringo’s quote#that he tells all his other bassists#that they’re his second favourites (via @thestarsarecool)
#this is the hottest thing abt him and ofc John knew it (via @mylonghairedladyy)
it's the coy that does it for me "the very coyness sharpening the pursuit" etc.
#i love learning beatles songs on bass because you’re reading the tab for a while#then you just realize he was winging it#like. i was so desperately trying to remember the changes in the verses of michelle#before i was like. wait. he couldn’t tell me the difference if i asked him#so i just grooved man (via @wonderwall1968)
his #basslines go straight to thw clit (via @decadent-hag)

GEORGE: I remember saying, “Well, one of us has gotta be the bass player, and it’s not me. I’m not doing it.” And John said, “I’m not doing it, either.” Paul just went for it. (1995) JOHN: Paul’s bass playing is underrated. Paul was one of the most innovative bass players ever. And half the stuff that is going on now is directly ripped off from his Beatles period. He’s an egomaniac about everything else about himself, but his bass playing he was always a bit coy about. He’s a great musician who plays the bass like few other people could play it. (1980) RINGO: Paul is still, to this day for me, one of the most incredible melodic bass players around. He’s just incredible. (2016) PAUL: As time went on, I realized that I didn’t have to just play the root notes. At first if it was C, F, G, then it was normally C, F, G that I played. But then I started to realize that you could be pulling on that G, or just staying on the C when it went into F. And then I took it beyond that. I thought, well, if you can do that, what else could you do? You might even be able to play notes that aren’t in the chord. I just started to experiment. What could you do? Well, maybe you can use different notes. Sevenths instead of the regular notes, or maybe even a little tune through the chords that doesn’t exist anywhere else. Maybe I can have an independent melody. (2018)
