I’ve started a new video series called How to Play Songs on Bass. I’m still posting guitar videos, too. I’ll try to alternate every week…one guitar video, one bass video, and so on.

Here’s my video bass lesson for “Come Together” by The Beatles:

This is one of my favorite classic rock songs. I love Paul McCartney’s bluesy bass line; it has such an amazing tone to it. It’s one of the coolest bass lines ever, yet it’s actually kind of easy to play.

The other instruments sound fantastic, too…Ringo’s drums, George’s electric guitar, John’s vocals. There’s somehow a warmth and a crispness to everything in this song that sounds perfect. If you’ve never heard the original version of “Come Together,” I highly recommend checking out The Beatles album Abbey Road. To me, it sounds even better than the remastered version on 1 and the remixed version on Love.

It’s funny how a rock song that was recorded in 1969 has more life and sounds far better than rock songs recorded with today’s advanced technology.
