Lovers of music everywhere lost a great songwriter and master showman last week. I'll never forget his 2007 Super Bowl Halftime show, shredding a wild guitar solo in a you'll-drown-if-you-look-up downpour.
The song was, appropriately enough, "Purple Rain."
In honor of Prince, here's a video lesson on how to play "Purple Rain" using finger-friendly open chords. It's rare that a song like this with such unusual, distinctive voicings can be played with such relatively easy chords. Enjoy!
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.
Oh wonderful! Enjoy!
so many heavy hitters with a million subscribers on YT teaching this.
yours is golden
thank you !
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.
Great to hear this did the trick.
Great little lesson mate. Thank you.
Sure thing!
Amazing lesson with tips for singing ! Thanks a lot
You are most welcome! Glad you dug it.

Love RUclips for the sole reason of finding inspiration just like this.. you killed it. Thank you
Wow, thank you!
Oooh,I was doing this differently,And I prefer your version,super!
Yay!
thanks ! That made sense with the tempo and how to sing over the chords.
Thanks mate! 🦋
Sure thing!
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
Oh fantastic! Great minds think alike. :)
Brilliant lesson thank you.
You're very welcome!
THX Rob, this is the best version I found on YT so far for me and my and my western guitar ❤👍👍👍

Great teaching bro!!!
U r the Best! ThanQ!

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 !
+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.
Schecter Man ,
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.
Thank you for kool simple instruction...
Sure thing man!
wonderful thanks for sharing god bless you RIP prince your fans never ever forget you i love you
Sure thing, man!
ur great!!!!!!! thanks!
Glad it helped!
BIG up from France and thanks a lot for this excellent tutorial 👏👍🏼🎸🍒
helped me a lot I'm subscribed now
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
+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?
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
simply best
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?
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.
E chord my bad. Not sure why I through that m in there... 😳👍✌
Subbed and rung
original song: key of B Bb9/Gm7sus4/F/Eb9
Yes, though it's Bb, not B. Capo 1 if you're using my chord shapes. Thanks!
ooops you caught my human error!
Thanks :) Nice :)
+Ingo - Der Heimwerker - Alles rund ums Heimwerken You're welcome!
Thanks for that - made understanding the song much easier - keep em coming !!
Sure thing, Jon. Glad it was helpful.

Lovely guitar!
😢
are you in new orleans
Y los punteo.eso es nada mas raguear la guitarra.
That the way I play it, because I have small hands 👍🏾
Good lesson. But why did it look like you're constantly about to burst out laughing?
Prince didn't write it...That's why it's only 4 chords.
Where'd you hear this? Wikipedia talks about Prince working it out with his bandmates, but he being the primary songwriter.
Your chords are wrong
What chords should they be?
