315: Beatles Bass - An Appreciation with Arion Salazar and Rob Collier

from Something About the Beatles · host Evergreen Podcasts

Sir Paul McCartney, 1t 63, has just completed his Got Back tour of North America. But at the 60th anniversary of Rubber Soul, it's good to look back at how that album marked a turning point in his approach to his primary instrument: the bass. Paul was an innovator, taking its use where no one in pop/rock had ever gone before. With bass historian/musicologist Rob Collier (www.beatlesbasslines.com), we thoroughly examine HOW and WHY Paul was so exceptional, and what influenced him. Providing color commentary: veteran musician/bassist Arion Salazar (ex Fungo Mungo and Third Eye Blind). Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
