Question for you musicians
« on: April 06, 2018, 05:32:47 pm »

I mean, how difficult is it to play that bass line and sing at the same time.  :o

I reckon if you have played it for thirty years, it'd get pretty easy, but that looks hella difficult to me...

Yeah, it's got a Silly Love Songs thing going on. Though, Paul only has one note to sing over his bass line.

Are there any other examples of " how does he sing and play that at the same time" ?

This is the bass part to a Police tune.
We used to play it, and I had to sing much of it. 
The part from 1:30 to 1:43 is one of the hardest thing Ive ever played and sung at the same time because of the weird timing of both.  The didn't match at all.

This...esp the chorus, seems hard to sing and play.

And singing the harmony and playing Paul's bass part on Something would be fairly diff.

Nice find! Man, I'd never seen that before. I had no idea they played. I thought it was a vocal group. Cool.  8)
