Re: Walking With Rita
Same here... I don't have a youtube login, and don't really want one either...
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Finally got it to work.
I had seen Francesco's vid on this before, but it is still so amazing. So precise. It's like you knew it better than McCartney did and he created it, and I'm not trying to be snide. It's just fine, fine bass work

Re: Walking With Rita
Both mono and stereo Rita's were slowed down, I think, to fall between Eb and E. I've played along with the mono version and had to speed it up (I've got the Tascam bass trainer and I think I set speed +5) to get it in E.
Excellent job Francesco! This is the type of bassline I'd love to be able to write, but I guess that's why he is McCartney and I'm not

Re: Walking With Rita
I always thought McCartney's best bass lines were on John and George's songs with the exception of this one - JMO...
Re: Walking With Rita
For tone, and style, I am very partial to his bass work on Penny Lane. Mark
Re: Walking With Rita
Francesco, excellent work as usual. I have seen alot of your stuff on youtube. Always good. Thanks again for posting these songs. Mark

I'm always happy when I look down and see this one's on the setlist. Great fun to play.
