Thanks. It's okay to simplify tunes in order to play and sing with your acoustic guitar. You do a nice honest rendition of the song which is better served since you are not trying to get all fancy. You're just one guy with an acoustic guitar. You're not trying to "axe it up," and you are generously helping others to experience the joy of music without showing off. I have sat around far too many camp fires where some guy gets his hand on an acoustic and then proceeds to stare down at the strings while stumbling through some Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Prince or whom ever's piece of music as though he's got a "strat'" and 5 500 watt Marshall amps. People tend to wander off or simply talk over him. Meanwhile, the woman next to him picks up an old acoustic and plays simple chords while singing her own versions of songs by Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez but also Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and even Prince which draw everyone into the music for she is a songster--not a show off. Not all prince songs are great acoustic around the camp fire songs, but you have shown me that this one is. That's a gift. That's a new song that my tired old arthritic hands can possibly handle playing on my beat up old six string. I especially appreciate watching your fingers. I was able to get that there was a D major hanging on for one more measure than I thought. You taught me and others how to play a song that I otherwise would have never learned. Thanks again--MJK
Thanx for your very kind words. I dunno if it's a gift but ZI like to keep it simple for all to enjoy. Thanx for taking the time to drop me a note and also for tuning in. Good luck in your learning and it is never too late to play music my friend. Take care
Your teaching has helped me to achieve a dream I never thought possible Marty and thats playing a guitar!

Very well put
THIS COMMENT❤
Marty, I just found your videos and noticed you have been on here for years. Where have I been?! I have been playing guitar since I was 12, I just turned 50, and I have to tell you, after all those years of guitar lessons, trying to memorize notes, theory, and everything that goes along with it, I have learned just about as much from you in 1 month then I have over all those years of plinking and picking. My buddies, one who plays drums, another on bass and myself have been getting together once a week or so for over 20 years just to make noise and have a few beers, and after spending a few hours watching you and your technique, we got together and his jaw dropped when I started playing what I've learned from you. Very easy and concise lessons. Even though my technique may be a little more advanced then some of your followers, I have been making it so much more difficult then what It should have been all these years. And to top it off, we have the same taste in music and same reach in vocals, as I'm also the singer. My buddies and myself may even start playing at some friends parties now. Night and day difference in our sound now. Thanks for your time and effort!Great job!Dave.
Martyr my man I am 57 and am teaching myself to learn the guitar and you are my top go to guy you have taught old dog some things dig the way you make the changes to make them your own keep it coming brother and thank you for your videos
Thanks Marty. My pal loved Prince and this song. He has never heard me play guitar and its been 2 years since Ive seen him. I will be back in beautiful Northumberland in July to meet him. It will blaa his socks off when I play this song.
ive been taking guitar classes for 2 months now (once a week, 30min class) and the only reason for the class was to learn Purple Rain.. (Bucket List lol) anyway ive been watching your video everyday maybe 4-6 times a day teaching myself this.. Thank You Marty fyi. my only problem is getting my fingers right on the C chord, and of course the strum beat or muted beat, but I will get it.Thanks again your're an excellent teacher
You inspired me to do this on an acoustic.
Never thought it would work, but it will. This song is all about putting emotion in your vocals.
Marty hang in there I'm 73 just went through this, since May hurts big time when people like us can't sing or play that's what we live for,worst sinus problem ever had,peace brother love the way you teach.
If you put the capo on the 3rd fret with
G
EM
D
C
You get the same key as the original.
You all prolly dont care but does any of you know a way to get back into an instagram account?
I was dumb forgot my login password. I appreciate any help you can give me.
@Grady Gavin instablaster :)
When ever I need to learn a classic new song I check you out first, well done Marty this made my Saturday nite : )
Had a blast playing with and listening to someone having fun with it !!
I sang some too..had a blast thx !
I'm just getting back into the guitar after a break of about 15 years, I really appreciate your UA-cam stuff, it's helping me enjoy my music again, thanks dude, you are helping an old fella enjoy music again
Randomly stumbled across your site & I’ll call it serendipity! Can’t wait to learn all your versions. Would like to see chord charts with lyrics to go with it, or have the chords you’re playing scroll as you play, but I get the sense that you’re just here to play and keep it simple & I appreciate that. Anyway, this is exactly what I’ve been looking for- singing and strumming- not just the guitar alone & no singing, which most guitar sites do. Thanks for all of this!
I really appreciate how you find the right key and arrangements for us amateur strummers.
New player...Purple Rain is my favorite song...you put this in my range...many thanks
I am very new to computers, but not to great music.I am so glad I accidentally stumbled on to this great website. I may not ever be able to figure out how to get back here,but I hope I can. Great job Marty.WOOHOO!(as my brother in law would say).
+theresa rivera ---- 10 years ago when I got my first computer, and five computers since - that memory of - - "I may not ever be able to figure out how to get back here" --------------
Really did make it you’re own. Great performance, well worth a watch.
Ahhh Marty the Partyer, missed a golden opportunity to wear a purple shirt. Love this song, love playing it. Marty the Man
Oh Marty! I can play what you play but how do I convey the sou;l that you put into your videos? Here is the answer. Either you feel it or you don't. With 4 chords you were able to convey the EMOTION of this great song. Love you man!
kevin
I definitely agree !
A guitar that is in tune helps.
I loved this version and your explanation of it, you have a very beautiful voice!
I love that you are humble and yet a master in your skill. Blessings and thank you for making this accessible for all.

I don't know why I never thought of playing this. You inspired me. Great job on the tune.
I love this song today as much as I did 32 years ago. So many fond memories, thanks for the great times.
+michael scheafer It is also still one of my faves too, RIP Prince, he will be missed
Man that's excellent, loved your unique version, in your own way. Bless you and your loved ones sincerely. ❤ Rodge David kidderminster uk 🇬🇧 ❤

This is a really great tune, one of my faves in fact. He will be missed but never forgotten. I'm glad you found me. Welcome!! Good luck with it and take care
Thanks Marty
He ain’t lying, great cover & a wonderful tribute
Thank you for your lesson . Purple rain is a classic and for a beginner guitarist to learn is awesome.
+Vai Papali'i You are very welcome. That's my goal - for all levels to learn, good luck and thanx for tuning in
Hey mate, I am learning so much off your channel. Recently retired and learning the guitar to keep myself entertained. Thanks so much.
Giving me goosebumps!❤️
Hey Marty, I just wanted to thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills. Your playing style and embellishments have really helped me as a guitarist. I really like all your covers and have learned a few of the strums you do! I've been off work due to medical reasons for over a year and have really latched on to guitar as a lifeline. I just wanted you to know of another example of how your channel helps people.
Thanks! and looking forward to next Thursday!
Hey Tom, I am soo glad I could help you in any way I can. I too, was bed ridden many years ago for a time waiting for back surgery and really started to learn my craft on guitar. Looking back it was one of the best things I could have done. Hang in there and I hope you are feeling better soon. Music will set you free brother so never stop playing. And thanx for taking the time to tell me your story, the best of luck to you in the future, take care bud
Such an excellent interpretation. Great lesson. Thank you sir, keep it up!
Just learned this tune....really cool. This is a song you can really make your own. Thank you Prince!
+Ramblin Ray Maternick That's great!!! This is one of my faves, nay he rest in peace.
Thanks man. 0:05:49
R.I.P. Prince
Ohh prince your music is going to live forever!
+Charlotte Cassidy I agree, We lost of one of our absolute greatest artists of our generation this week, he will forever be missed, RIP Prince, you were one of the truly best musicians I have ever known, God Bless
What a proper tribute to a great artist by an obviously highly talented guitarist with very, very good vocals. Thanks Marty.

Thank you very much, you are very welcome. I’m glad you like it, thanx for watching, take care and good luck in your learning.
Excellent version !! Thanks for simplifying this for me. I have been trying the original over and over and sort of got it. I have found that most people just need the backbones of the song to get into it. Great playing and excellent voice. Thanks again !!
+Jim Munhall Thanx, I'm glad you like it and happy to help. Good luck with it and take care
Told girlfriend : I have to play at least a song in honor of Prince, she said Purple Rain?, came here watched your video 1 time and that's it, i can play it! Great, great job!
A day after Prince passed . . . and I had to look this up. Thanks.
+Jay Shrivastava He will be missed for sure, he was truly one of the greats, thanx for stopping by and I hope to see you again, RIP Prince

@PartyMarty, Man, you are beautiful! Thank you so much for such a great lesson and amazing rendition! You´re absolutely right, we will be singing "his songs for decades to come, he was one of the greatest and will be missed immensely" and you are giving opportunity to the new generations, to enter in the genius musical realms of that Unique Artist Prince is. Peace, Love, Respect

Well said, he was and is one of the very best. He will be missed, thanx for your kind words and for tuning in
@PartyMarty EasyGuitarTunes this is awesome! I worked on it for about an hour. Love your little hooks on the G Chord.
Actually helped me with my 4 finger G Chord on this.
marty i am getting hooked on your videos....one then two a night....then three or four....quick easy to learn fast and sing along.. then throw in some stuff in the middle.... then make a playlist....run thru practice and then......well who knows.... thanks for making it fun quick and simple.... you have another big fan
Thank you my friend, I'm glad I could help. Your pattern is a lot like mine, I love to learn new tunes. Thanx for dropping a note and for tuning in. Hey, I'm trying to reach 100k subscribers so please spread the word about my channel, it would be greatly appreciated
Very Well Done. I Like How You Changed The Chords To Make Them More Compatible With Your Voice. The B Flat Sus 2 and The E Flat In Prince's Version Are A Little Cumbersome. You're Very Talented And Altruistic.

my dad's favourite that was incredible Burnie 4 chords jessus man I'm on it
That's great!! good luck with it!!!
Thanks bro. Paul Chapman student here. Not sure Paul would teach it this way...fact is I doubt he would have even played it. But for me beautiful tunes like this need an easy translation like what you did.
and this lesson is so helpful to meet my promise.!!
+Reggie Quiyono The Best of luck to you, RIP Prince.
