What makes Paul so good isn't his technique -- it's his ideas. A brilliant composer who composed brilliant bass parts. That puts him in a league of his own.

Paul is one of the most influential bass players who redefined the role bass can play in a band.

Not only only a great player, but an incredible songwriter, who writes bass lines that are melodies on their own. You can easily recognize a Beatles song by hearing just a snippet of the bass!

What I admire of Paul most is his freedom to do odd things just because they sound good. We analyze/justify them later as these genius movements (like playing the b7 of the chord and walking down to the root), but I doubt he ever thought of them like that. You can tell he's just a great listener for bass melodies and doesn't allow himself to be constrained by what the bass "should" do. I think Ringo is also under appreciated for the same habit of putting his musical instincts over his learned knowledge of what the expected role of his instrument is. As someone who's put a lot of time learning those roles, I struggle stepping out of it when it's called for but learning these bass lines are a great inspiration to think outside the box and give yourself permission to do something different.

I was the "Paul" in a Beatles band for many years and I learned SO much and got so much better during that time. His bass lines are wonderful and singing and playing many of them took intense practice. The bass on Something is a brilliant piece of music on its own while in songs like Paperback Writer, the bass drives the entire song. I think that Paul isn't given enough credit for his groove either. The bass on Baby You're a Rich Man is slinky.

Paul is the best because he approaches his bass lines as a writer as much as a player. If you don't think of your bass lines as compositions, you're missing a huge opportunity.

That hollow body Rick is insane. I WANT ONE. The bassline on "Something" is so amazing that I made my band put this tune in our rotation. Paul's variations within it are subtle and fun. George's solo is pretty neat as well. One of my favorite tunes.

He is an absolutely phenomenal bassist...his phrasing and sense of melody are impeccable! His walking lines, no doubt created in the spirit of Bill Black and "the bloke who played on all of the Motown stuff", are exceptional as well. And we thought he was just another pretty face...

I hold him as number 1. His bass lines strike a perfect balance of cool, fun and tasteful. And just as a bonus he's also the most influential musician and composer of all time in popular music. That some bass players (very few, but still) slags him off is beyond me.

I've always loved McCartney's bass playing, so inventive and melodic and they are one of several things that lifted The Beatles away from any other band. And the fact he sang lead vocals and played these lines is phenomenal. He's certainly not underestimated by me. A truly great and gifted musician, multi- instrumental, vocalist, performer and songwriter

Great video. It requires a part 2. Paul's bass genius runs way deep.

When I play through a Paul/Beatles song..there is often a point where I say to myself..."Well isn't that a nice little surprise there". He is just amazing.

I can't believe he's underrated. He's easily in the top 10 greatest musicians of the last 100 years. I know this is a bass channel and most people here will fawn over Jaco etc. But I'll take an easily playable but immensely incredible melody over lightning fast tapping and slapping every day of the week.

My favorite Paul bass line by far is Rain. So much groove. Almost a lead bass. Also, honorable mention, Baby You're a Rich Man.

Such a great tribute to the master pop rock bassist/singer/songwriter of all time! His bass line in Taxman is brilliant, but you left out the bridge section ("If you drive a car I'll tax the street"). PM goes above and beyond what is expected while never getting in the way. That is a mark of his genius.

Critics fail to factor in that Paul's bass was the low end foundation providing the most solid structure for the band to pivot around. He knew when to provide space for the song to breathe and then bring the bass in and make the contrast sound even bigger or knew when to support the groove , play in front ,thicken the guitars or play melodic lines ,walking bass lines etc. Hey Bulldog is just a bass masterpiece that propels the instruments,drums and vocals.

I think the bass part on Something is one of the most inventive bass parts in the history of recorded music. Every guitar player I ever discussed this with thought it was too busy. George himself said the same thing well after the release, but didn't feel comfortable enough to be insistent on simplifying it. Paul later confirmed that he recalls George having that opinion. I can see both sides, but it just so amazing to me. Beautiful melodies, very supportive despite the quantity of notes, very thought provoking, and so very personal and intimate as a true McCartney line. I still choke up every time I listen to it. Of course, it helps a LOT that the song is one of the greatest compositions ever. Sinatra called it the greatest love song ever written. An George's singing is gorgeous on it.

Paul’s “Wings” bass lines are underrated. People only talk about his Beatle stuff.
