This is way too difficult for me, Uncle Ben. Would you mind teaching easier songs? 😏

Hmmm! Utter genius to take out the bass and get the first #1 song on the hot 100 for 5 weeks, have it your movies sound track, and sell triple platinum of this single. Not too mention all the money he made from a song with no base line.

Somewhere Prince is smiling at this!

My girlfriend April thought I was a fool for trying this one on my fretless, but it seemed to add something I always thought was missing on the original

Ok ... Technical Difficulties ? I'm an old fart BUT something was lost in translation on "When Doves Cry"... as in the tabulature script.... OR.... this is THE sign it's time for me to lay down the cash for a bass :-).

Damn. It took me far too long to figure out what was going on. I saw “Prince” and “tab” and I went blind.

Okay, but my bass is a 5 string, can you transcribe it to that too?

I don't remember seeing Jason Newstead in the album credits.

You kid, but check out how they played it live! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLB4KSVgr6M (starting around 3:50)
