You give the best lessons on Prince’s acoustic guitar.😊

[@manicmurph]

What a great song this is! Love it.

[@zachfree6126]

Thank you, Jason. Yet another great lesson, always fun watching you teach. One of the best on youtube

[@richardpilhofer3994]

I don't normally watch video lessons but I'm glad i did for this song! very good job sir!

[@CharliePennellProductions]

Excellent clear and brilliant Tutorials Jason! Love the Prince ones, thank you so much :)

[@thejaseguitar]

You're welcome :)

[@ShayneSmith100]

This is so good Jason.

[@mgardner70]

FINALLY you clear the whole DGA thing up for me!!!!!

[@thejaseguitar]

Glad to be of assistance!

[@chrisgambaro-vega9504]

It's not an F# minor. It's a D major with an F# in the bass. It makes a huge difference.

[@christostsolis143]

I would not try f# minor twice. So out of place (at least if you have heard Prince' s song ... l

[@gocougs6991]

I like playing the D maj with F# in the bass... check out the official video, it looks like he is playing an F#min7 ua-cam.com/video/l7vRSu_wsNc/v-deo.html ... but I agree that sounds funky to my ear

[@JasonFarrTubes]

@@gocougs6991 He did like it funky, though, haha.

[@leegrant245]

I need a good lesson on the bridge part

[@TheDoobiesnatcher]

great video you made Prince music understandable!

[@thejaseguitar]

Cheers :)

[@Darrin67]

Excellent!! Could you provide a tutorial on the muffled acoustic part that is at the beginning of the music video and long version? The part where he walks out and Wendy is playing the guitar and he steps on stage and clears his throat.

[@Primodummy92]

Probably wrong here but it sounds similar to an A7sus4

[@jaybo8043]

Yes! A lesson on the funky extended intro would be awesome. Can't find it anywhere.

[@dmitriysukonkin6828]

I'll stay on that channel for long)) soooo many tutorials of the songs i like

[@bobjones2972]

First of all great video's, you do an amazing job in Prince songs. One foot note and I could be wrong but I always thought of it as for a G chord if you add an A it's Gadd2, if you play the G chord and add an A instead of the B it's Gsus2, if you play G chord with A and F (7th) then the 7th + 2nd =9th.

[@thejaseguitar]

Yes, you're right. In my head I tend to think of it as a ninth so just said that as I was talking through it, but technically yes it is a sus2.

[@pauldengate4012]

fantastic. Accurate, well played, no rubbish , eleven out of ten

[@Hansprive]

I’m quite convinced that that third chord should also be a complete D chord with a F# in the bass, instead of your F#m, or am I just hearing it incorrect? Thanks again!

[@glassslide]

Very cool!

[@thejaseguitar]

+glassslide Cheers :)

[@blkm4untx]

"Thank You", Jason !!!!

[@thejaseguitar]

+melvin burleson You're welcome :)

[@rustbelt2708]

Awesome 😊

[@boofuls]

Your a genius 👍with good taste 🥂

[@kiddfonkadelic]

this is cool

[@DimePiece850]

SWEET!

[@thejaseguitar]

Thanks!

[@hook6410]

I have always played a D with your thumb on the F sharp rather than a F sharpe minor?

[@thejaseguitar]

Yeh, that works too. I don't use my thumb very much which is why I guess I play it like this :)

[@PositivelyGodless]

Thank you for....letting me know Ive been playing it WRONG A-G-D-G...opps! I am requesting GOLD and Endorphin Machine. I am LOVING every one of your videos! Thank you again!!!~Scott

[@thejaseguitar]

+Positively Godless Thanks! Getting lots of request but have popped these on the list of songs to look at :)

[@DomhnallOSuileabhainPrin-tm1fw]

I always wondered what happened to Timmy Mallett

[@joenelson7995]

Great tutorial! I appreciate the A9 analysis. But the F#m is probably not what prince played. I'm hearing a D in that chord.

[@thejaseguitar]

I thought that at first, but then I thought I heard a C# in there too. So perhaps it's D major 7 which has the same notes as F#minor/D.

[@minder4u1]

cool shirt matey

[@thejaseguitar]

murray L I thought - if people don't like the playing at least they can enjoy the shirt :)

[@minder4u1]

your playing is fine, I actually worked for Prince from 84-89 and was in the studio for this song. One of my faves

[@thejaseguitar]

murray L wow! I'm jealous. He was a hero of mine. Such a loss to music.

[@minder4u1]

Tragic

[@hiesenberg1724]

the sea is my maiden

[@richtracey6829]

I dont know about that one Jason.

[@thejaseguitar]

+Rich Tracey I go through most of my life not knowing :)

[@richtracey6829]

Aaaaaah keep up the good work Jason!

[@thejaseguitar]

+Rich Tracey I'll try :)

[@frankjamesbonarrigo7162]

A9? That looks like just A

[@jamesgaetano]

Wrong chord names. It’s an A2, G2, F#m.

[@sandalero]

dude !! fix your chords please.
