You can call me Al bass

You can call me Al

                           You Can Call Me Al
                              By Paul Simon

This song is probably the most famous songs Paul Simon has done, from a bassists point of view anyway,
because of the slap bass solo. I have seen two different ways of playing the bass solo,
I have only included one here, and if you look around the net, you will probably find a few more versions.
