purple rain solo

[GWMDelta]

Super Wicked!

[rami939]

Excellent !

[bahady30]

Very very very nice ! This is spot on !

[MrSquatch09]

this is amazing and prince is awesome but that fucking guitar looks so stupid

[Lanaman400]

Dude! Wow! That sent chills down my spine like the first time I heard it way back in 1985, awesome job!

[MakeItFunkyProds]

Wow!  That's all I can say. Damn you're good!

~Vince

[jillgabel]

Hey I am trying to learn this song, I have the intro down pretty well but is it possible for you to do a tutorial on the solo part please?? I am a beginner on finger and picking techniques so I would really appreciate if you could go slow with the solo part so I can see what you are doing and I can practice if its not too much trouble for you.

[bobsimp2372]

nice solo brother ....thx

[rich72d]

I would like to know the amp and settings you used for this great tone

[Mr3121prince]

Prince fan since I was 13 and that awesome! Well done man! Little do people know, the recording of that solo in the song was played on the Fender Strat! But U did a great job and your cloud looks great too!

Peace And Be Wild! O(+

[mysterybat35]

not bad at all man!. I always wanted one of these guitars but I just hate that they don't come with tremolo bars..

[whitbyjet65]

You are playing it on Liberace's skeleton.

[2higuy]

Close, extremely close! None the less, I have NEVER seen such a heartfelt, honest and dyed in blue tribute as I have seen here!! My God, A total LIKE!! That came from so deep inside you, I don't even care about the very finite discrepencies, I TRULY, TRULY LOVED IT!!! Bloody good job, man!!!!!!!!!! I shall click the upward facing thumb, and perhaps subscribe! WOW!!! And again, WOW!!! Thank you sir, Kudos

[FKL]

Very good. Thanks.

[pardoned]

Really well played!! Bravo!

[grainvillebambam]

where/when did you get your cloud?

[TheEgthunder]

how did you record it?

[61DORI]

WOW!! Very great performance! WOW!!

[ten8goa]

Dude. That was spectacular. Unbelievable clarity and accuracy.

[syxxball]

Gotta tell you, I really like the version you have done here. I'm a lifelong Prince fan, you did the man proud.

[ajahni]

Prince would be proud!!! Well done!!!

[ahardiman251]

My god... I would seriously say that is honestly better than the original version. Brilliant.

[smitty54017]

AWESOME!!!!

[coolbreeze747]

Awesome job man! love the guitar!

[MultiHughJass]

i see you oiled your chest for the ocassion ;) but still a very good solo. (Y)

[RokBlu]

Is this the real guitar that Prince plays? If so, how much does it cost? Don't Schecter Guitars make this?

[smitty54017]

@RokBlu They used to make this guitar, but I understand they stopped making them years ago. I guess there were serious issues with finish problems, etc.

[npgfunk]

@smitty54017 Yes - mine is now off white. It got like that a couple years after I bought it.

[smitty54017]

@npgfunk Has the paint pealed yet? That was the common complaint I heard. Guitars will change color if left in sunlight, etc. so that's not unusual. Still a cool guitar to own!

[Dune137]

@RokBlu Check a web site called Ed Roman Guitars - click "All guitars for sale" and then click "Abstract" and scroll down. Its the only place Ive found that sells this. They also have other Prince look alike models. Maybe you can find info there.

[81SOUTHERNGENT]

TWO THUMBS UP!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dune137]

What kind of guitar is that? Nice job by the way.

[MrItsabeautifulday]

@Dune137 It's Pince's guitar! It's called 'The Cloud'. :)

[Dune137]

@MrItsabeautifulday Nice...thanks. 

[painxtreme]

Sweet Job...makes me want to be 21 all over again

[painxtreme]

@painxtreme of course most things make me wish I was 21

[lainou71]

Please, post more videos of your cloud !!! the Mpls Radio sometimes plays your solo of purple rain, true story ! awesome work, legendary guitar !!

[JDrockerDUDE]

is this an improv or the original solo?

[mrmaxwell77]

@JDrockerDUDE mostly the original solo with slight improv

[TrevorWTillman]

@JDrockerDUDE improv

[musicmachina]

i want a cloud so bad :(

[edzeeland]

Thank you, I think 10 to 15 years I play guitar for fun.

[preo2]

Man that was pretty damn good! How long you been playing?

[EquinoxParadox91]

Awesome man! Nice guitar too! ;)

[edzeeland]

Thank you that you can appreciate the sound, is a video on my channel with the settings of the device line6, that's all I've gebruikt.Ik hope you find them useful.

[cifier]

I have a question:

What kind of pedal/amp setup did you use to record this? It has a beautiful sound and I may want to mimic it for some private playing.

[88DRocker1]

not too shabby

[edzeeland]

@88DRocker1Thank you :-)

[azazael09]

Please don't try to imitate Prince's Vibrato. His Vibrato is fucking dreadful and not a good example to follow for future. Kirk Hammett and CC Deville are other examples of this disgusting vibrato technique.

[edzeeland]

@azazael09 I think it's a nice vibrato that Prince used. It is the same as eating or lusthe you or you leave it. But of course you can express your own taste on my channel. Thank you for sharing personal preference.

[hojo04]

Nice job. wish I can play like that. Keep up the great work!!

[edzeeland]

@hojo04 Thank you so much, glad you like. ;-)

[zer0gravity1]

Great job!!!

[edzeeland]

@zer0gravity1 Thank you ;-)

[jamel1232]

where did you get that guitar from and how much did it cost?

[edzeeland]

@jamel1232 I got the guitar second hand, but he's built here in the Netherlands. I know that if you let them build them approximately 2500 euros. I hope your question is answered.

[xxtasha10xx]

How long have you been playing guitar? You're amazing!

[edzeeland]

@xxtasha10xx Hi there, about 15 years. It's just a hobby, I can do myself discharged when needed. ;-)

[xxtasha10xx]

@edzeeland Oh wow.You have been playing 1 year less than I've been alive :O

[srdjankovic]

Hercules wants his guitar back

[edzeeland]

@srdjankovic Hi there, you may have the address of Hercules? Just kidding;-)

[srdjankovic]

@edzeeland btw, nice playing

[Panterallica1]

This guy must have sacrificed childhood masterbation to playing guitar.. <3

[edzeeland]

@Panterallica1 Hi there, you're very close here, just kidding. ;-p

[lainou71]

Hope to be able to do the same someday ! bravo !

[edzeeland]

@lainou71 Hi there, thank you. ;)

[clootn]

where can i find the tabs if ur so good to link me plz :)

[edzeeland]

@clootn Hi there, I do not know what good music tabs or other writings are. Unfortunately I can not read music paper. Music theory, I do not know much. I'm sorry I can not help you with this.

[18wisdom]

that was good. this song is on my bucket list to learn



[edzeeland]

@18wisdom  Thank you for nice comment, I really hope for you that you can fulfill your bucket list with this song. I wish you all the best.

[EricV1]

Such a shame our friendship had to end...

[SvannieChannel]

0:45 please don't take offence, you're a great guitar player, but you should have played that specific part exactly the way Prince played it on record, and not so fast, it is a passage too identifiable for the song to be changed in any way! peace

[edzeeland]

@SvannieChannel Thank you for your opinion, I do not know if you ever heard live version. There is no one that sounds the same. Anyway I'm not going for perfection, for me music is not a top sport, it's just relaxing and fun to do. ;-)

[scorpionsfanzrw]

How could Prince dislike this twice? Maybe he's jealous?

[edzeeland]

@scorpionsfanzrw I have no idea;-)

[thisischavez]

Are you actually sweating or did you oil yourself up for the effect? LOL! Seriously though, good job. 

[edzeeland]

@thisischavez Thank you, unfortunately it was real sweat. I had it recorded in the summer it was very hot that day. ;-)

[dcraigwise1]

Fantastic!! nuff said...

[edzeeland]

@dcraigwise1 Thank you!! ;-)

[bebernes311]

this guy's a fag

[TheGORILLAZFAN2323]

@bebernes311 you're a fag

[architecturalabdabs]

@bebernes311

You're an asshole, and this guys extremely talented. ;)

[edzeeland]

@architecturalabdabs Thank you for your stand, I can appreciate, I'm not so concerned about these statements. Everyone can express his opinion, that's democracy. Greetings Edward :-)

[edzeeland]

@bebernes311 hi friend, what you want, good luck to whatever you're doing;-)

[MrKrime]

Very nice, very nice indeed. Nice improvising too

[edzeeland]

@MrKrime thank you :-)

[lucianlovemusic]

very very nice guitar!!!

[edzeeland]

@lucianlovemusic thank you ;-)

[chadm17]

I only wanna see you, wanna see you, Can I play this guitar? 

[edzeeland]

@chadm17 Thank you, anyway what did I laugh at your channel, the best all time crying. ;-)

[chadm17]

I only wanna see you, wanna see you, Can I play this guitar?

[cehvalbuena]

Fucking wonderfull!!!!!!!!!

[edzeeland]

@cehvalbuena Thank you, the animation on your channel homemade? If so that's cool, I wish I could make something like that.;)

[OberstHulmbug]

that´s a Schecter "Cloud", a great guitar even if his Purpleness rarely uses it nowadays

[edzeeland]

@OberstHulmbug You got it right. I am sorry, and I think many with me that he no longer uses the cloud guitar, at least I no longer see him at play. They were made​for each other. ;)

[FedeleConfalonieri1]

awesome!

[edzeeland]

@FedeleConfalonieri1 Thank you ;-)

[MrEddiePrinze]

that was tight az hell yo!!!!!

[edzeeland]

@MrEddiePrinze Thank you, a small mistake at the end, otherwise it was tight;-)

[edzeeland]

@alexalex939 I'm sorry that I am very slow to respond, I will now never know what was written;-)

[alexalex939]

@edzeeland I wrote that damn ur good kid. keep it up dont quit playing for nothing !

[edzeeland]

@alexalex939 thanks a lot, I blush to your words, very kind of you to have taken the trouble to respond to as yet. In the Christmas holidays a shot of Little Wing Hendrix. Of course with the cloud guitar;-) greetings Edward

[albertotub]

no words...

[edzeeland]

@albertotub thank you, I hope you liked it anyway;)

[komjong]

Solo was very nice. Good job. That is one of Prince's guitars. I saw one for sale in a store in NYC. That guitar is very very expensive. As a fan if I had the money I'd buy one. The tone and sustain of that instrument are fantastic. Thanks for posting.

[edzeeland]

@komjong Thank you for your response, I get it all. That is my wish to be able to play real guitar Cloud. Unfortunately, this will remain a dream. ; (

[gocyclones1000]

wait what kind of guitar is that? i can't find it out its frusterating me

[edzeeland]

@gocyclones1000 You can look at this site there is a lot written about the guitar, it's not my website but also a fan of this guitar. 3 times W dot cloudguitarcentral.blogspot.c o m

[Patrick261996]

toy



[edzeeland]

@Patrick261996 I think it's fine ;-}

[kingpybar]

loved it

[edzeeland]

@kingpybar Thank you ;-)

[Ocacia]

Youtube is so full of jealous haters. The man did a good job, I couldnt do it. But I am big enough to admit I cant do it. To the person who has an issue here is what to do. Go and play it better and just do a video reply. Enuff talk and just show us your "Better". Do you have to correct someone by insulting them?

[edzeeland]

@Ocacia Thank you for standing up for me. I'm not worried about people who talk badly. That is democracy's allowed;-). But very sweet of you as yet thanks. Greetings and Merry Christmas and a Happy New year

[tooakki]

Professional PERIOD.

[edzeeland]

@tooakki Unfortunately not, still practicing. ;-)

[RayMagic12192]

[edzeeland]

@RayMagic12192 Thank you ;-)

[pwimberly1]

@MEGAONDEMAND Thank you ;-)

[shitstaineddrawers]

Awesome man..........love that solo.....I consider him a damn-near re-incarnation of JIMMIE......just didnt hit at the right moment in time for that level of GOD-NESS....imho. AND YOU SCREWED IT UP AT THE END, JUST LIKE I DO!!!!! ROFLMAO!!!!

[edzeeland]

@shitstaineddrawers Thank you, we have the same thoughts and same flaws? XD

[shitstaineddrawers]

Awesome man..........love that solo.....I consider him a damn-near re-incarnation of JIMMIE......just didnt hit at the right moment in time for that level of GOD-NESS....imho.

[demonofenki]

Excellent job, my friend.

[edzeeland]

@demonofenki dank je ;-)

[edzeeland]

@edzeeland thank you ;-)

[edzeeland]

@demonofenki Thank you, my friend ;-)

[ReekoChet]

Love the sound of that guitar...you had nice flow and made it your own. I wish had the skills.

[edzeeland]

@ReekoChet Thank you, much as you continue to practice it would be good to come. XD

[SkuLL17935]

that was perfect...and the sound is great !

[edzeeland]

@SkuLL17935 Thank you, that one note at the end, but well do better next time;-)

[boycieboy100]

Great, just practising, wish I could play like that. Thanks for posting.

[edzeeland]

@boycieboy100 Thank you ;-)

[TheConnyB]

how much did you buy the guitar for?

[edzeeland]

@TheConnyB too much ;-p

[PAGAFER]

Ugliest guitar ever

[edzeeland]

@PAGAFER Thank you, obviously you can express your opinion here. It's fine

[8maryka]

I love it definitely :-)

[edzeeland]

@8maryka Thank you, finally;-)

[Tapiola2007]

Beautiful! Thanks for posting ;)

[edzeeland]

@Tapiola2007 thank you for listening;-)

[x7779311]

NICE!!!!!!

[edzeeland]

@x7779311 thank you ;-)

[nationofgodstar]

this just kicks much ass - play on my brother!!!

[edzeeland]

@nationofgodstar I will do my best brother;-)

[80007144]

This is a song that i play with my legs spread and leaning back with tears coming out of my eyes :)

[edzeeland]

@80007144 I try to imagine how it looks;-)

[seyco555]

Man from all the purple rain guitarist you crush all of them.I have listen to 99% of all of them on utube and i tell u that you are the best of all of them.Keep up the good work.

[edzeeland]

@seyco555 wow thanks, I blush a little. There are a couple of nice performances on youtube that I enjoy. The implementation of Vinny blues, I find very cool.

[ZeCabrasta]

COOL! YOU HAVE THE PRINCE GUITAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[edzeeland]

@ZeCabrasta I'm happy with that but unfortunately he is not from the stables paisley;-(

[PURPLExJOKER]

LOVE IT

[edzeeland]

@PURPLExJOKER thank you ;-)

[claptoned0]

One of my favourite solo (purple rain...)

[edzeeland]

@claptoned0I do not like the song, joke, I like this song 2;-)

[stratogui1]

excellent!...you rock!

[edzeeland]

@stratogui1 thank you ;-)

[skizmsucks23]

where can i get that guitar?

[edzeeland]

@skizmsucks23 you Read my story in the video, there's a nice link where you can find many information about this type of guitar.

[tbridges72]

That was an amazing performance!

Good job man.

[edzeeland]

@tbridges72 Thank you ;-)

[GTMOVS]

That is the best cover of that solo I have ever seen!! Wicked, I wish I could play like that!!!

[edzeeland]

@GTMOVS Thank you so much;-)

[timzp]

nice

[edzeeland]

@timzp thank you ;-)

[kalimaganeshshivan]

The weird thing is that if you have a guitar that looks like this, you HAVE to play "Purple Rain" on it. I mean, it's like a requirement! You did an excellent job, by the way!

[edzeeland]

@kalimaganeshshivan Thank you very much, you have the most thumbs up given I think;-)

[kalimaganeshshivan]

@edzeeland You're welcome!
