  • Skip to 08:11:05 to hear the acoustic version of Purple Rain
    Hands down Purple Rain is my favorite song and it's a favorite for so many. Here, I'll show you how to play it with all of the little detailed nuances and inflections. The song is basically only 4 chords but the key to playing it authentically is learning the little detailed nuances that lie within the chords. It makes a tremendous difference. The end contains my acoustic version of the song that you can use to play along with. Hope you all enjoy it. God bless!

    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.

    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.

    • @MackGuitarGuy
      @MackGuitarGuy  3 года назад +1

      Thanks so much and thanks for the sub! You're absolutely right, learning where things occur within the key is the foundation to being able to build a repertoire!

    • @MackGuitarGuy
      @MackGuitarGuy  3 года назад +3

      This is Awesome to hear! Just hang in there and, if you can, dedicate at least 15 minutes a day to practice. You will see growth. Whenever I have things that I struggle with, I dedicate daily practice time to it and I always tell myself, just imagine where you'll be this time next year. To your surprise, it won't take as long as you think it will to get a grasp on those things that you're struggling with. And those things that you think or tell yourself you'll never be able to do, the truth is, You Can! Just commit to spending time daily working on those things. God bless you as well my friend!

    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. 👏👏👏

    • @MackGuitarGuy

    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.

    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.

    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.
