This song has some cool licks, but mostly repetition. I like the intro and main lick though, interesting and fun to play!

Strawberry Fields Forever/Beatles bass play along by Cara
One of my favorite Beatles songs, this one was hard to suss out the bass part because there is so much cello in there

I did this kind of IRONically (get it?) because it's a bit corny. Apparently they are in the Garden of Eden

I'm a huge Beatles fan but Elton's version is so much more interesting on bass, tempo changes, reggae, etc

I didn't know anything about that. I just posted one of my covers on a post where someone mentioned it.

"Imagine your daughter came to you and said, 'Dad, make me a playlist of all the music I would never even know to listen to that...'"

I don't have to do that because my Dad played all this stuff for me and my sister since we were wee tots, and it informs my repertoire: youtube.com/@cararickbas...
