I have lost my mind an committed to doing a version of Purple Rain this coming weekend . . . does anyone have a BIAB file they would be willing to share, swap of even sell?
I have already gone the midi route and if need be I will use the download midi but sure would love to have a quality BIAB file as it would keep the consistence between this song and my current BIAB tracks.
Thanks either way,

I've got the Purple Rain original sheet music I could scan to .PDF for you but I don't have a .MID or BIAB for you.

Danny, They have several versions of it at Karaoke Version for a $1.99. http://www.karaoke-version.com/These aren't MIDI files, they're studio musicians. Once you purchase a song you can customize them by downloading one track at a time or any combination of tracks. No extra charge. I'm not affiliated in any way. Just a heads up.

Thanks Bob, I did purchase that one but (for me anyway) a real polished track like that leaves very little room for personal input and creativity. So I am guessing I will put something together in BIAB that can eventually (with more time for fine tuning) become a part of my playlist if I do decide to keep the tune in some sort of rotation.
PS: Maybe the editing option can also make me feel more confortable with the tracks, i.e. the guitar solo is great, in fact too great as I am not that accomplished. So I like to only present what I can play on demand in the future . . . that make sense?
Thanks again,

There are dozens of sites on the net where you can get the midi versions to tens of thousands of songs, many are free.... I'm sure PR is there too.
As far as the names of those sites..... I don't have a clue... google search will be your friend.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Herb,
I have many midi versions, my request was for a BIAB file. I know a shot in the dark, but hey if you got a gun you have to shoot it sometimes.

I think the idea of doin' it by yourself with no backing tracks has merit, Danny.
And since the song really does not have "interesting" changes, good one for going gospel style and push the singing.

--Mac Mac, Another brain flatulent here, maybe a reggae version would be interesting also . . . thoughts? Later,

I see four chords. Your solo version should be doable. You will however have to upload a video for us. Bbsus2, Gm7, F, Eb

Yep that's the way to do it. Forget the original arrangement and make it your own! Reggae sounds like a neat idea. Play the best solo you can over that Reggae BIAB arrangement. Be real.

Thanks Dan I have decided that I will not even try the traditional version, but a different style entirely.
Regarding the video, well I am afraid it will be done down, dirty and live on SJ this Saturday night.
I got talked into participating in a "Purple Rain Saturday", which means anyone with anyone guts (or is just plain stupid and I fit into both categories) will take a challenge for some fans in the form of a doing a song that is not on your playlist. This time it happened to be Purple Rain.
With this said there will be many versions of Purple Rain performed on SJ throughout the day Saturday. Should be very interesting to say the least, as I have not flown by the seat of these old pants in quite some time.
Thanks to everyone, I have my style and I am working on a BIAB file as I type.
Later all, and wish me luck!

Mac this smooth jazz rendition is KILLER! I had not heard this one before, now I am torn between two good arrangements.
Live is good - Thanks!
Later,

His purple-ness is also a ridiculously good guitar player in more styles than you can shake a stick at. I saw him on the Tavis Smiley show one time and his live performance on that show as a smooth jazz acoustic guitar player. I found it - gotta love YouTube: http://youtu.be/nf7yRFk-ZfE?t=11m4sThis is one guy I would love to hang with some time and just pick his brain and just jam - room full of synths, guitars and a killer drummer. Maybe get some of the Minneapolis scene funk folks in for dinner, etc. It would be crazy fun! I really wish he wouldn't have gone where he went in the 80's, while it made him success during that time frame, I also think it turned off so many people that the general public does not consider him to be a real musician. He's one of the most creative on the planet, IMO, and one of the best 'music director' front men that exist. Anyway, back on topic - have fun Danny!

Danny,
I have Purple Rain. I created it a while back and don't remember how accurate it is. But it will give you something to go with. Let me know how to get it to you.

His purple-ness is also a ridiculously good guitar player in more styles than you can shake a stick at. I place the musicality there on the OTHER guitarist, Prince was basically just strummin' chords. A typical situation, really, where the Session Man, the Journeyman Musician who has worked and studied can take a chord change and work the embellishment, add extensions, runs and riffs, sometimes even create the musical hooks, etc. to what would otherwise sound like what it really is, a folk song sung by a good singer, accompanied by that singer's strummed chords. IMO both types are typically necessary - but not always utilized well - and occasionally we will find one individual who an cover both tasks well. --Mac
