Sure could use some Tab on You can call me Al. I am a part-timer on bass, need the tab, not enough time to figure it out. thanks

The bass part on that song is an absolute monster, and that little weird, cool, terrifying solo bit is probably un-tab-ifiable.

I can't easily imagine you'll find accurate, usable tab for that one...

Cheers, Tim

Listen closely to it and you'll hear that the second half is the recording of the first half played backwards. I used to do that song with a band and would play the first half like the record and then do something different (I wish I could remember what it was).

I saw Bakithi on a TV show playing Call me Al.

When he played the solo, he did the first half as per the recording and in the second half simply reversed what he had played.

As an interesting aside for those who may be interested:
The Track was recorded on Bakithi kumalos birthday and he went to Paul Simon and asked if he could play something special on the tune because he was so happy!
