Let's Go Crazy

This is my solo bass arrangement of the opening song from Prince's 1984 megasmash album (and movie) Purple Rain, Let's Go Crazy. I think my initial inspiration for trying this was seeing Marcus Miller do a solo version of another song from this record, When Doves Cry (ironic, in that the song is infamous for not having a bass part). I used my 4-string bass in part, inspired by Marcus and also because I'm more comfortable slapping on this bass rather than my usual 6-string exploits. At any rate, here's my take on the tune. Let's see how long it stays on YouTube! =)










Be Good,
