    Thank you, thank you, thank you. This song is the reason I learnt how to play guitar. Absolutely incredible. And I don't think he gets the credit he deserves as a guitarist. He could shred with the best of them, and his tone was fantastic.

    Let’s not forget Prince also locked himself away during the time he learned of Michael Jackson’s death, he spoke of Michaels unique artistry and his impact on music for hours and said that he was sad that someone like him was gone because he related to Michaels intense perfection of music and even stated Michael reached out to him on occasions to talk about things he struggled with and his love for God

    Close but Wendy actually plays the F major a little differently (pinky on the 7th fret and doesn’t strum the 1-3 strings). Prince was a straight up criminal player on both guitar and bass. Severely underrated as a guitar player to everyone except guitarists who know.

      "Purple Rain" was originally written as a country song and intended to be a collaboration with Stevie Nicks. According to Nicks, she received a 10-minute instrumental version of the song from Prince with a request to write the lyrics, but felt overwhelmed. Lisa added her part, very normal because its a band, (The Revolution) and they jam a lot together and keep what works....happy mistakes!
