THE SONG THAT PROVES PRINCE IS THE BEST GUITARIST!!

Has to be Computer Blue the extended version no.3. My mate has 4 versions of this song, all of them are slightly different. He let me hear no.3 which is about 13 mins long, he plays a killer guitar solo for the last 8 or 9 minutes. OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!

I was listening to it in awe and thinking to myself, how on earth did Prince not make it into Rolling Stone's top 100 guitarist of all time.

Because Rolling Stone listens to more than just Prince.

I would love Prince and Joe Satriani to do an album together. The 2 greatest guitarist ever, that would be an atomic bomb.

"Best" is a very loose term. By what criteria?

Personally, I would rate Prince as one of the most 'soulful' guitarists, but there are many other more technically and harmonically advanced players than he.

But anyway, for the sake of discussion, I will choose the solo at the end of "Planet Earth". Short but sweet.
