Song: The "F" File
Artist: Alain Caron
Album: Call Me Al! (2000)
Tabbed by: Philippe Alexandre Clegg (phil25uk@hotmail.com)
"F" File is a fun slap song by Alain Caron, which has a bass line that just
thumps all the way through. The bass doesn't stop playing for most of the
song,
and plays a lot of the melody. Same old 4-string transcription for a
6-string
bass story. Enjoy!

Riff C is too hard to figure out, but is based on a jazzy F pentatonic
scale.

After this there are the solos, which follow A chords and F chords. The bass
just carries on playing a simple slap riff. Just keep the rhythm flowing.
The
main riffs come back sometimes, so bring them back in.
