Most ICONIC bass break of all time? ???? #scottsbasslessons #sbl #basslesson #paulsimon
When Paul Simon’s You Can Call Me Al first hit the radio in 1986, there wasn’t a bassist on the planet whose head wasn’t turned by Bakithi Kumalo’s two-bar slap bass solo — a bass break that turned out to be almost physically impossible to play live!

For today’s new video, we’ve prepared the ultimate crash course in how to play it. Plus, you’ll get the free Tab & Notation so you can see exactly how Bakithi did it!

One of my peak moments in life was watching Bakithi Kumalo playing in a small trio (Morris Goldberg Trio) in a small restaurant in Cape Town a long time ago – he must’ve taken six or seven solos that sounded like six or seven different bass players – all world class, of course.
Eu assisti o vídeo com a história dessa musica, este trecho do contrabaixo foi gravado ao reverso
Where’s this from?
Cool! Hard to catch
How??? What's being used???
I used to play it live on a fretless many years ago
every recording is made in a studio
If they “ cheated” in the studio, it’s not cheating to use their tricks live.IMO.
Mark King of Level 42 can play it. It's his tune
Israel’s son by silverchair in the middle of the song
This made me laugh lol. Technically not impossible to play live indeed. Well done. Ian the man
Hand the bass to an Asian kid
Bakithi Kumalo does play this live. There’s ways to play it, but it’s pretty tricky.
And we yelled at Ashley Simpson for lip syncing on SNL. This is the same thing in my mind.
It WAS played live without efx
Loop statiom with reverse function.
Simple solution, no?
Oh Al
No problem for misa of Band maid????.
Cheat
Davie 509 plays that with his eyes closed
Pairo twarts
As if they didn’t do the entire album in the studio?
It' recorded backwards and it's very easy to play live.
Why do people like the graceland album so much? To me its his worst album.
Ĥe did it but.
Also it was on a fretless bass. So yeah harder to replicate with frets
I've seen it played physically, it doesn't sound exactly the same but with lift offs or whatever it gets really really close
It’s clearly a microphone on your hungry stomach ????????????????????????
can I listen to the whole song? no mention anywhere…..????????♂️
"Iconic" has lost all meaning.
Ask Glenn Higgins from LATE FINAL to show you how its done, he was the first live player to play this line he has been playing tje whole line NOTE FO R NOTE FROM THE MOMENT THE SONG WAS LAUNCHED
I don't remember clearly but im pretty sure there is a sick bass break in the mario kart 8 title screen
Chevy Chase did it.
Elvis's bassist played louder and harder. Kirk Hammet was WTF reaction.
Bakithi Khumalo and Armand Sabbal-Lecco played too
Still wrong.
Not surprised as some people still think that each Entwistle random pentatonic breaks on My Generation is as difficult as Charlie Parker full records.
I really like that song for some reason. It makes me smile????.
Fun music-video too.
Barney Miller is still the best.
sure… if you only play half the notes… wasn't even close to the original.
Kramer wrote the riff
A kid at my son's school did it when the band played this banger at the prize giving assembly.
It was so bad ass and all the Dads were looking at eachother like "This kids a fuckin G!"
Is there anything better than a best friend to jam with? Haha thanks for postin the video guys yall rock!! Keep uhhhh…..slappin the bass yess♥️♥️????????????
The song is “You can call me Al”, isn’t it?
Play it forwards then backward no?
???? ???? DAAA DAT DAT DAT! DAA DAT DAT DAT!
Check out Remember my name by Oingo boingo. That very annoying but impressive slap bass
Probably the best bass line is in.Free's
