What is your favorite Prince guitar work on a studio track?

Naturally, I'll go first.

Off the top of my head, three songs come to mind in no particular order:

First, the intro to "When Doves Cry." That's when I knew he had some serious chops. Eventhough it was short, it was breathtaking.

Next, the end of "I Hate u." Again, short, but very passionate.

Finally, "Joy in Repetition." It doesn't compare to the live version, but powerful none-the-less.

"I Wish U Heaven" is my fav. Right next to "The Jam", but I don't think the Jam was ever done in a studio.

"I'm Yours"

For him to be playing like that at the age of 20? Boy hasnt missed a lick. He's still the greatest guitarist to this day.
