Prince's guitar technique Ohh, its a controversal topic.. It gets pompous guitar heads mad as fuck
anyway, here goes. Can somebody please explain the technique he uses in the version of Joy in rep on the It aint over cd. Its liike a huge wall of streaming noise at point 8.33 in the song I'd like to be able to incoorporate this particular trick into my own playing/solo's. I will post these two answers so that somebody else doesnt have to 1) Use your ears, man! 2) Dont try and copy his style, you'll never be prince. Its all about the fingers. 
Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated. thanks You'll never know a girl called Nikki and you'll never find Erotic City | |

Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated. thanks Hmmm, a huge wall of streaming noise you say? Could be his Boss Flanger pedal (placed in the FX chain before the distortion). Check out http://hobbies.expertvill...langer.htm Some good tips there. [Edited 9/24/07 9:01am] | |

However, the noise in im talking about in particular is prince Playing the strings.. im wondering what is he actually playing repeatedly to achieve that sound. Im sure he has a mountain of effects running through it at the same time too though. You'll never know a girl called Nikki and you'll never find Erotic City | |

Anyone who calls you a copycat, (or makes fun of you for it) it just a fucking tool. Everyone copies. Hendrix pretty much ripped all of his shit from T-Bone Walker. Maybe we can go to the movies and cry together | |

Just about everyone who picks up an instrument is inspired by someone at some point or another & Prince is a good choice for instrumentation. | |
