Paul really was a truly gifted, creative and incredibly unique bass player.

[miguelosvaldofloresdomingu]

Amazing bassline of one of the best bassist ever.

[landylaw]

One of the most beautiful bass lines in my opinion

[FeargusMc]

When you see the bass line tabbed and played like this it's a reminder just how good Paul was. The music flowed out of him and he was in the zone when he wrote and recorded this. Well done and thank you Lefty for making this video and helping us all to enjoy, appreciate and play this masterpiece

[robertmusilli]

What I love about your videos is that there's not any extra right hand movement that's not specifically playing notes. Often when there's rest in the music a player moves the hand needlessly up and down the neck as if the occupy themselves. You make really easy to follow videos.

People who says the bass doesnt sound probably only listen to metal, and even in metal you can find good and very incredible bass lines. Just pay attention and enjoy.

I play alot of metal and bluegrass but Paul is one of my favorite bass players. Hes made ALOT of my favorite bass lines.
Love the bit at 1:28

[Sasha-kurv]

Genius of pop/rock. How did he come up with this bass line.

It's well documented that Paul didn't practice much. This bass line requires good dexterity, apart from creativity. His bass abilities always astounded me. Maybe I was amazed!!

[lucianogoyenechea]

1:28 how can he came with this bassline!! its only a 3 chord song!!! MASTERPIECE

[thesilvershining]

This bassline is so beautiful it could make a grown man cry

[jeffersonjuradotorre]

Great lesson. I always loved this song. That bass line is one of the most beautiful imo

[victorywoo]

My favorite song from Let It Be that wasn't on Let It Be :P
also great job on the backing track, very cool!

[GamerJW]

Thank you for all of these bass covers. They have been wonderful to listen to.

[eugenioitem]

What made Macca great Bass player is his melodic in the Beatles' era= originality in styles @ most!

[RussellMorash-mw]

Paul had the great ability to keep a good bass line going while playing a counter melody and sing something few can do not to mention his vocal changes and writing ability

[mtp]

The line compliments the song so well. The man was clearly one of the greats. Very tasty indeed.

A lefty just like Paul! I looked up the bass tabs for this song on a whim cuz I’ve always been curious about this bass line and it’s an even more epic bass line than I thought. Thanks for breaking it down for us!!

[flakboss]

Thanks Lefty this is just great. Just discovered your tutorial as I have just bought a Hofner 501 CT Violin bass. This bass line is so beautiful and one of Paul's😄 best. I have got to master it.

[cindyscott]

I am SO very impressed with the accuracy of your tabs ... in addition to the fact they're actually left-handed. I've just bought your "rooftop collection" so I can relearn the songs with the correct notation. (I'm a bit dyslexic in addition to being a lefty, so being able to have a paper copy to follow is very important to me!) Thanks for all the hard work you've put into these videos. Know it's greatly appreciated.
(btw, if you're interested, I play a Hofner 500/1 Contemporary that's been modified with '63 electronics... Labella's Hofner 500/1 flatwound strings... thru a Fender 100w Bass Rumble modeling amp with presets for Vox bass, Fender Bassman, Marshall, and Mesa Boogy, with a Donner chorus & a Boss Fuzz pedal in the signal chain.
I also have a Harley Benton lefty Rickenbacher copy (amazing value!!) from Thomann Guitar in Germany, and a lefty Squire P bass.

[JohnBosnjak]

Fabulous. Very smooth bass with lots of melody. Love it! Great job. Thanks for posting your talent.
