He would pick up on all the things that McCartney would [do]. Maurice was very good on different instruments, you know. Good lead guitarist, good bass player, good keyboard player. He was versatile. He loved playing bass more than anything else, I think, at that time."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://aln2.albumlinernotes.com/Idea__1968_.html |title=Bee Gees β Idea at Album Liner Notes |last=Sandoval |first=Andrew|publisher=Album Liner Notes |access-date=21 May 2013}}</ref> ===Australian Songwriters Hall of Fame=== The [[Australian Songwriters Hall of Fame]] was established in 2004 to honour the lifetime achievements of some of Australia's greatest songwriters.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.asai.org.au/hall-of-fame/|title=Hall of Fame|website=asai|access-date=17 September 2020}}</ref> {{awards table}} |- | 2022 | Barry Gibb, Maurice Gibb and Robin Gibb | [[Australian Songwriters Hall of Fame]] | {{yes2|inducted}} |}
