Harrison taking on the bass duties on this one. Well, on guitar at least. It works. Nice melodic and rhythmic part. I wonder if he came up with it, or if Mac "suggested" it. Either way-- so musical. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1Y3P...eature=related |

Nice bass playing by George on the Fender vi.
Opps it looks like he playing a telecaster ...
When I watch it the second time I think George may be pretending to play bass on his tele. Maybe Paul did the bass track in the studio for that song.

George also wrote and played one of the catchiest bass lines : Maxwell's silver hammer.

I don't think that's quite right. I believe that bass line is all Paul. |

| No, bro. Harrison played the line on his J.

| I lean toward that assumption. I wasn't there so I'll leave off the "actually".
On Beatles' Rock Band, animated George is playing the Fender VI on Maxwell's Silver Hammer.
There the evidence.  |
