        Finally got myself to talk to camera and start my youtube channel. Here’s a couple of ways to play the Purple rain intro:

            Brilliant Pavel. I too like the second better but both sound the real deal. Thanks for sharing a classic Prince intro. 🥸🎸🥸

              Both were good! But I agree with the others, the 2nd had nicer sounding chord voicings.

                For me it’s no contest. The second version is waay nicer but I am biased because I absolutely love those suspended chord sounds. Very nice playing Pavel.
