We've taken the song All You Need is Love and created a play along video. It has a vocal harmony line (which is in green), a bass line (which is in blue) and also has the chords for piano/guitar/ukulele players as well.
The bass line can easily be played on a keyboard set to a bass as well, and the notes are also added to help with bass clef notes.
