    I’m a full time house audio engineer at the nicest and classiest casino in our area. I mix and hear that song being covered at least five times a week. And holy shit man that had to best smoothest beautifully tasteful version I’ve heard. Really nice job. Also I clicked like and subscribed without hearing any other tracks. Excellent

    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 роки тому +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 роки тому +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. 👏👏👏

    The Chords are taken directly from a Journey song ,"Faithfully". Prince called Jonathan Cain for his blessing before releasing Purple Rain. There are many other similarities as well. Great great song.

    Thx for the video and especially for saving time by coming right down to the point. I just like to throw in my 2 cents by saying that a capo at 1st fret might make things easier.

    This is definitely one of my favorites and one that calls out his genius. I don't think most people realize what an incredible of a "musician" he was. The song is beautiful.
    Great solo work on this cover. I dig your style and love that Taylor! You're about to get me in trouble with the wife after I trade up mine now ...

    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.

    Mack, I am always checking out Purple Rain as it's played with the Chords that Wendy Melvin and the other guitarist played this tune when I first heard it played on the movie Purple Rain , (That Soundtrack) with Prince on guitar and vocals !!! (RIP). I got my guitar out and I had no TAB or other form of music notation, only the movie soundtrack. I played this tune in the Key of Asus (X02200), F# ? (242200), E (022100), D? (X57700). I know my chords did not match that of Wendy's chord finger fretting diagrams but it sounded the same. I rewound and rewound the VHS tape I had of the movie trying to see Wendy's hands and figure out the Key and chords notes diagrams that she was playing, though they sounded the same to me, we did not match one another. It was within another 3 years that I finally got the correcting Tuning and Music Notation to the Purple Rain tune. Nobody had a clue how to play this tune where I lived, and I sure did not have the music gear to splice a soundtrack together to play this tune along with and get all the tonal embellishments and lead & lead Solo notes played. Woo Man, if you can not sing this tune Tribute, then Naw, do not even Try to Fake your way through this tune. I could sing and play the tune but No one else who played came close, so I just played the tune outside gigs or I played it on Mic Nights locally.
    Wendy's Chords, the other female guitarist ?, and Prince (Genius Amazing) !!! "Mack, I Thank You, Your Musicology, for You Sir done Prince GR8T & PROUD in this music video tutorial that you played here" !!! Play On FretBro . . . 🆒👍🤘🎸🙂🎼🇺🇸🙏 DDH 10-2-2023.

      You can learn it. Just try to add a little bit at a time and before long you'll have it. Just don't give up on it.
