One of Queen's most beloved classic songs, Crazy Little Thing Called Love was written in 1979 as a tribute to Elvis Presley -- and the song's rockabilly groove, doo-wop feel, and blues-inspired bass definitely make that clear! This Cellobat version for solo cello was originally written for a wedding ceremony, but it will also be perfect for receptions, vow renewals, cocktail parties, solo & ensemble contests or any other occasion you need to get your audience dancing! Featuring the catchy lyrical melody, funky rhythmic grooves, and even the guitar solo of the original, this arrangement is just as much fun to play as it is to listen to. No accompaniment part -- it stands alone, or can be played with a backing track for solo gigs. This chart is rated advanced; there are some syncopated rhythms, triplets, and accidentals that might require running through before performing. Overall it will be learnable for more advanced students and sightreadable for professionals. Have fun and swing those 8th notes! :)
