    Prince came up with the Purple Rain progression, but Wendy played it since the song that is on the album is the live performance at Fifth Avenue.

      Prince came up with the riff, yes..but he felt that he "heavily borrowed it" from Journey's Faithfully. .He called up Jonathan Cain and said “I want to play something for you, and I want you to check it out, the chord changes are close to ‘Faithfully,’ and I don’t want you to sue me.”
      The song was “Purple Rain,” and upon hearing it, Cain not only had no problem with the changes, but was blown away by what he heard. “I thought it was an amazing tune,” Cain said, “and I told him, ‘Man, I’m just super-flattered that you even called. It shows you’re that classy of a guy. Good luck with the song. I know it’s gonna be a hit.'”

    the Purple Rain version on the album is taken from a live at first avenue in 83, it's not a studio version per say, the orchestral parts R overdubbed by clare Fisher at sunset sound studios after the One off performance.....wendy Melvoin is playing the intro chords....

  • @crimfan
    @crimfan 8 років тому

    Th rhythm part in Purple Rain was played by Wendy Melvoin and the recording is actually live (with overdubs later), from her first appearance with The Revolution. I think on the first chord she actually plays a low Bb, so x10311, which is quite the finger knot. They're totally Joni Mitchell chords, but done in standard tuning!

  • @KellyHachey
    @KellyHachey 8 років тому

    You are awesome! Question though - so I can play any instrument pretty much, but I really seem to struggle with guitar... why is this? I play everything by ear, but I can read music, I just don't like too... does it matter what kind of guitar I learn on? What I mean is, I bought a cheap electric and a cheap acoustic would it be easier to buy a more expensive one? Also I think I have short and stubby hands, does that matter? because it looks like your hands are a lot like mine and you play beautifully...

    • @markyncole
      @markyncole 8 років тому +1

      simon hillier When I saw the movie Sign O' The Times and I saw him play that,it just seemed he played it with nothing but emotion and feel and it just stood out to me in a "Wow" kind of factor when I first saw it.You can't teach that kind of feel to someone in a lesson,it's just something that happens when it happens,he probably never played it the exact same way twice.

    • @simonhillier
      @simonhillier 8 років тому

      markyncole​ watching and listening to many of his solos over the years, few sound the same twice. Whatever the emotion and feeling at the time seem to take him along different paths. Have you read the interview with Billy Gibbons when he talks about meeting Prince and taking guitars for two hours? One of the things Billy mentions is how difficult the opening solo to Doves Cry is. He just can't get it perfect. He asked Prince about it and he replied "Yeah that one gets me too" :)
      So I may never sound like Prince, but I'd still love a base solo lesson to slave away at and maybe one day put my own feeling into it :)

    • @simonhillier
      @simonhillier 8 років тому

      markyncole fyi, I just bought the sheet music here for USD2.99 and it has the whole solo tabbed out. It's a start! :)

      No it's not. It's just root and 5th played on a synth that is being triggered by a hi-hat (which is how he got that funky rhythm that makes up the bulk of the song.) Listen to the recording and tell me if you can hear the 7th at all.
