How to Play Purple Rain with inflection and feel. (Purple Rain Unplugged) 

I’m a full time house audio engineer at the nicest and classiest casino in our area. I mix and hear that song being covered at least five times a week. And holy shit man that had to best smoothest beautifully tasteful version I’ve heard. Really nice job. Also I clicked like and subscribed without hearing any other tracks. Excellent

I am a 54 year old man that so enjoyed your playing and so appreciated your Insight. Thank you so very much

About time we can do this in a beautiful and easier way ,, he even does this on the acoustic which even makes it more awesome, thank you very much ,,, I love it, 🍾🍾❤️

Anyway, thanks for helping people like who's trying to play for 30 years. Thank you!!!!!

Could listen to this with eyes closed & drift beyond the clouds thanks NZ.

Huh, all the thumbs of the world UP for this tutorial and the perfect version of this song. What a by the side of the road are persons who gave opposite :((( I have to feel really sorry for them

The Chords are taken directly from a Journey song ,"Faithfully". Prince called Jonathan Cain for his blessing before releasing Purple Rain. There are many other similarities as well. Great great song.

I could listen to this all night, sounds amazing on the acoustic. Thankyou!

Yeah 🤘 finally someone who has the right touch for this fantastic song..❗❗👏👏Thanks for your contribution...👍🙏

What a beautiful arrangement beautifully played on a beautiful guitar. Thank you

Your acoustic version of the Purple Rain is beautiful. I'm going to give it a try

Quelle Merveilleuse leçon de Groove et de Musicalité !!! Bravo !

Thx for the video and especially for saving time by coming right down to the point. I just like to throw in my 2 cents by saying that a capo at 1st fret might make things easier.

ive looked through lots and this is the best tutorial... and that guitar ... jeeez

This is awesome. You've really inspired me to stick with my guitar. I'm 3 months in and trying to get to grips with it so thank you and God bless you!

Thank you for your great tutorial, and amazing version of P.R. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💜💜💜

Little Red Corvette wax a hit video when I was 13. I've been a fan of Prince since. I always thought he was an amazing musician. Having picked up guitar again in the past couple of years I've gained a new respect for him as a guitarist and would rank him in my top 3 all-time. I'd also like to say I appreciated your acoustic version. Definitely one of the best I've heard. And I like the finish on your Taylor. It looks really sharp and modern. 👏👏👏

Wow.AMAZING.

This is the ONLY tutorial I have found that tells you the song key up front! THANK YOU!! Please keep it up! You have earned a new Sub today! It is super helpful to know what key songs are in and as you learn more. It makes it easier (over the long haul) to learn songs in that key as you can identify similarities.

Kind, polite explanation.!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It’s easy to have understood the first explanation of "You" on Website!!

So rich. 🤟💜 Wonderful instruction. Missing Prince so much 😢 Thank You!!

The dreaded Barr chords I must get them down to play the greatest song I ever heard as a kid growing I always wished I could play it just like that

You play purple rain beautiful love it

thank you so much. You have no idea what this means to me. Thank you so much. My dad passed on 10/03/2022 💚💛💙

Já vi umas mil vezes ❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Wonderful ❤ Absolutely The Best version of Purple Rain Acoustic cover on RU-vid ❤❤

Best song all time.

This is the song which wanted me to learn guitar just love it😊

absolutely beautiful sir...thank you for playing and sharing..i loved it

Well I have to say your rendition is fabulous. Somewhat sweeter jazzy take. Very nice. Thank you for this

Glad I found you brotha! Great teaching technique!

Absolutely beautiful. Purple rain is truly the most beautiful song in history. Your rendition is simply perfect. If I could play like that I would go on and on for an hour mixing it up and down. I really appreciate you taking the time to create this video. I'm going to practice everything you covered. I need to learn how to play this for myself. I'm in a really low point in life. I'm losing to a longtime struggle . This song has a home in my emotions. Thank you for this video.

So happy I found this lesson. Your style and delivery is second to none. Calm and engaging all the way through. One of the better lessons I have seen for a while. Keep the good work going and I look forward to seeing more of your content. Side note, I was never really a fan of Prince, I was probably a bit too young at the time he was slaying it. Now I see the amazement of how powerful music is, and how this song has found me, just at the right time. Appreciate it very much.

I’m glad I stuck around to hear you play your version. That arrangement was very pleasant. Nice work.

Thanks man blown away every time I watch you ☺️

One of my favorite songs

Truly amazing. Love the way this sounds on a acoustic guitar. Ive only been playing for nearly two weeks but already in love with it. If I could end up playing this song like you do, I would be more than happy. keep up the great work.

Awsome guitarists

Beautiful acoustic cover of one of my favorite songs👏👏👏

Really helpful lesson. Thank You!

man this just made my night. now i'm inspired to pick up the guitar and try to learn it. i mean, that just sound so good. great playing really!

wow, that was awesome!! I love this song and you have really brought it to light!! great job!!

Mack! This is definitely one of my favorites and one that calls out his genius. I don't think most people realize what an incredible of a "musician" he was. The song is beautiful. Great solo work on this cover. I dig your style and love that Taylor! You're about to get me in trouble with the wife after I trade up mine now ...

That's a lovely guitar Mack and yes this is my favourite song just need to play it best wishes Colin UK 🇬🇧 😊

Magnifique......vraiment superbe !!!!!

Fantastic.. So easy to understand.. Part by part... It great.. Tq

Man I love this song. I sure hope I get to learn it. Im only 5 months into playing guitar

Gorgeous tutorial and tutor and finale with that cover WOW

Instructions with such clarity.Great teacher!!

Subscribed straight away your a master tutor thank you Sir

❤ thank you so much man I was looking for something like this You make it look easy I'm going to give it a crack I love that song

Best lesson cover ever

nice spin on this song👍

Extraordinary rendition and teaching. Merci!

Damn!! That is a beautiful Taylor guitar! I love the grey.

That's a nice Taylor you got there. Thank you for the lesson!

Maravilhoso, melhor que o original ❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Thanks for the great lesson, and that Taylor is stunning!

Thank you so very much!! i will practice dilligently!

Nice job, one of my favourites to play on acoustic 😊 need to try some of those ideas in my own playing of it. With the last chord D , it's a bit of stretch but sounds great I do A - 6th fret, D-8th fret, G-10th fret, B- 8th fret & e - 6th fret.

Nice lesson. The solo section is particularly nice. Nearly impossible to replicate the original solos on an acoustic. I cheat and play it in A. Much easier, especially when you’re also singing.

Beautiful job. Best I’ve seen so far! I’ve been looking for a good video. Definitely going to study this one!

Beautiful and with emotion.sigh sigh 😌

Taught well

Thank you for this tutorial, I thought a little out of my beginner range to learn… you’re a great instructor as I already can play to speed in a couple hours! So pleased, thx again & I’m your newest subscriber!

Favourite song you play it brilliantly subscribed Colin uk

That's really awesome never heard it played so fresh as this awesome job 👏

Tasteful! BRAVO! Thanks brother. Excellent!!!

beautiful.... you have to marvel at the ability to create this song, i can't even copy it :(

pretty cool

Why in the world is Pete Davidson even a thing in pop culture these days and not this beautiful man teaching us how to play Purple Rain so eloquently -a song about detachment, god, the universe, poverty and true love-? Cmon, people, we can do better, right now! Love ya, Mack!

Amazing. Perfection in all its beauty

Very nice arrangement and beautiful playing!

I just came across this channel and subscribed on the first video which is this one! I love acoustic content and moreso your teaching style by showing us then putting it all together with a performance. Looking forward to more. BTW, I love that Taylor! Never seen one like that before

Awesome, thank you 😊

Mack, I am always checking out Purple Rain as it's played with the Chords that Wendy Melvin and the other guitarist played this tune when I first heard it played on the movie Purple Rain , (That Soundtrack) with Prince on guitar and vocals !!! (RIP). I got my guitar out and I had no TAB or other form of music notation, only the movie soundtrack. I played this tune in the Key of Asus (X02200), F# ? (242200), E (022100), D? (X57700). I know my chords did not match that of Wendy's chord finger fretting diagrams but it sounded the same. I rewound and rewound the VHS tape I had of the movie trying to see Wendy's hands and figure out the Key and chords notes diagrams that she was playing, though they sounded the same to me, we did not match one another. It was within another 3 years that I finally got the correcting Tuning and Music Notation to the Purple Rain tune. Nobody had a clue how to play this tune where I lived, and I sure did not have the music gear to splice a soundtrack together to play this tune along with and get all the tonal embellishments and lead & lead Solo notes played. Woo Man, if you can not sing this tune Tribute, then Naw, do not even Try to Fake your way through this tune. I could sing and play the tune but No one else who played came close, so I just played the tune outside gigs or I played it on Mic Nights locally. Wendy's Chords, the other female guitarist ?, and Prince (Genius Amazing) !!! "Mack, I Thank You, Your Musicology, for You Sir done Prince GR8T & PROUD in this music video tutorial that you played here" !!! Play On FretBro . . . 🆒👍🤘🎸🙂🎼🇺🇸🙏 DDH 10-2-2023.

Thanks. Good teaching

The Taylor looks great

You covered this song very well,awesome lesson.Can we then move to Cream,please it's anothet awesome song from the great Prince!

Très bien expliqué, super bien joué. Magnifique. Merci.

Love this. Thank you. 🙏

Great 😊👍🎸

Браво , Маэстро! Отличная работа ! Сразу Лайк !

great tutorial man, thank u so much from Philippines.

It would have been nice to add for all the beginner guitar players out there. That by adding a chorus effect really give them the real feel of the song.

Excellent work mate. Thank you! So all the single note play is in the key of those chords?

Bravo!
