Paul McCartney is one of contemporary music’s most singular creative forces. He’s a multi-instrumentalist and the consummate live performer.

You already know that Sir Paul is one of the greatest songwriters of all-time, but you may not realize that he also helped write the book on rock and roll bass guitar.

Of course praise isn’t something McCartney has lacked during his career. But the fact is even if he never wrote a song for The Beatles, McCartney would still be deified for his catchy, lyrical bass guitar playing.
