The Beatles - I Want You (She's So Heavy)




This ****s over any Godsmack bassline. BTW, that bass solo you posted was very average and I'm telling you that as a bassist. Picking up a bass and doing some half-arsed gimmicky, not to mention sloppy slap/pop line is anything but original. There's very little groove there, and the rhythm is incredibly jagged/contrived.

And bassists aren't guitarists. A bass solo is NOT the way to judge a bassist's skill (and nor should it be the case for a guitarist anyway). Being a skilled bassist means that you tied together the rhythm and melody, you don't overplay, you write the perfect bassline for the song and you groove.




And you haven't replied to my other post.
