"Purple Rain" by Prince - Guitar Lesson - Easy Chords

[@marzfielding6898]

This sounds so close to the original, I didn't think it would work when first trying it but, I was proved wrong after a couple of attempts and that F# bass note is just class. Thank you.

[@HeartwoodGuitarInstruction]

Oh wonderful! Enjoy!

[@SpikeDriver-n8d]

Hey Rob, I’ve been looking for an “easier” version of this song for a while without losing its true melody and you nailed it here. I’m more a rock/metal beginning/intermediate player but I don’t think anyone could say Prince isn’t an amazing guitarist as well as an overall musician. Thank you for posting this and you’ve gained another follower.

[@HeartwoodGuitarInstruction]

[@geordie1962]

Awesome and so easy to follow ... thank you

[@MrDavidr86]

Great teaching bro!!!

[@CatPerez2012]

BRAVO....! YOU are the BEST!!! Thank YOU! You have to do the ohhh, oooh, ohhhh ooooh What are the chords played during that....? 0:08:20 0:12:50

[@RobHampton]

+CatPerez2012 I totally should have done the oooh's at the end! Sorry I left them out. About the printout--the link's in the description. Or did you mean something else?

[@CatPerez2012]

Hey thanks..! That was an awesome lesson. Powerful. In my haste, I didn't realize the links were there....Can you at least co-ordinate the chords to the Ohhhh's? Does he start the first Oooh at Dsus 2? ...thanks

[@Brookzplayzmuzic]

It's funny bc I figured out last night out to play it with that f# and low and behold u pop up!!! This version sounds great imo. Add some chorus and reverb and it's money

[@HeartwoodGuitarInstruction]

Oh fantastic! Great minds think alike. :)

[@fausten3]

Nice one. Stay awesome man.

[@RobHampton]

Thanks man!

[@thierryklein6851]

Super , merci !!!!!!

[@Goodongbaek]

U r the Best! ThanQ!

[@HeartwoodGuitarInstruction]

Sure thing!

[@jacklincoln7786]

Hi. 8 years later. I’m asking the same question. What are the exact notes to the ooh, ooh, oooh ohhhh. Oohhh , oooh oooh, ohhhh …??? Thank you for a great lesson!

[@peterlundgren8090]

I love Martin guitars!!!!!

[@elroybishop3]

Thank you for kool simple instruction...

[@RobHampton]

Sure thing man!

[@albinoviper2876]

original song: key of B Bb9/Gm7sus4/F/Eb9

[@HeartwoodGuitarInstruction]

Yes, though it's Bb, not B. Capo 1 if you're using my chord shapes. Thanks!

[@albinoviper2876]

ooops you caught my human error!

[@crisssst]

ur great!!!!!!! thanks!

[@HeartwoodGuitarInstruction]

Glad it helped!

[@mackharding251]

What about adding the 2cnd string 3rd fret to your Em at the end of your verseEmsus2 let's say - only wanna....A? Sounds funky - what u think?

[@RobHampton]

I think you mean adding it to the E chord, right? (not Em). Anyway, YES! That turns it into an E7, which is what Prince's melody suggests too. Sounds great.

[@mackharding251]

E chord my bad. Not sure why I through that m in there... 😳👍✌

[@PlouplePoupi]

BIG up from France and thanks a lot for this excellent tutorial 👏👍🏼🎸🍒

[@catalanotto45]

helped me a lot I'm subscribed now

[@schecterman7193]

Great job ! In some guitar lesson, people play F#m7 or F#m11 instead of Asus2/F#. And with a capo on 1s fret... Anyway it sounds good. Thanks for this very detailed tutorial !

[@HeartwoodGuitarInstruction]

+Lag Man Glad you dug it! Those other chord names are usually used for the same chord as Asus2/F#. Three ways of naming the same chord. And yes, to play in the same key as the original recording, Capo 1. Thanks for clarifying this.

[@pierrerouaud524]

Schecter Man ,

[@GaryBook]

The original is done in B flat, but if you use your chords then just capo at first fret. Bruce Springsteen does it I believe capo on third fret of course with different chords. Jeff Beck I believe does it with your chords. Nice job simplifying it. Solo in A or F minor with your chords.

[@tommyknox7496]

Wooo

[@airsetsuna1162]

simply best

[@mukesh.dhimar]

Good lesson. But why did it look like you're constantly about to burst out laughing?

[@sergios4881]

Y los punteo.eso es nada mas raguear la guitarra.

[@unatrader108]

Prince didn't write it...That's why it's only 4 chords.

[@HeartwoodGuitarInstruction]

Where'd you hear this? Wikipedia talks about Prince working it out with his bandmates, but he being the primary songwriter.

[@darrendrewitz3075]

Your chords are wrong

[@michaelstisi4570]

What chords should they be?
