I imply, there are such a lot of guys which can be nice in numerous methods, however Paul’s bass taking part in is so lyrical and melodic, and it’s simply so stunning. One of many issues I’ve heard is that he put the bass on after. A band like mine, the bass typically the track begins with bass traces, so coming first, or the music comes first.”
He added of their distinctive strategy: “Whereas I believe Paul and John and George, once they wrote songs and Paul would do the bass. And after multi-tracking got here in, in the beginning of them, they simply went and performed stay and would do it after, like ‘Sgt. Pepper’s’, the melody is already there. So then he’s doing, like a counter melody, so the bass is sort of a melody versus simply rhythm, and that’s wonderful. He’s wonderful.”
