I'm assuming you mean Revolution only.

I'm thinking for Wendy on lead you need to look at the Parade-era live shows, by which time she was usually on lead with Miko on rhythm. I'm honestly not sure if there are studio tracks on which she took lead, although someone's bound to correct me!

I know Wendy did some solos on Purple Rain live like Darling Nikki, When Doves Cry, and the intro of Purple Rain.
I think she did a solo at Raspberry Beret intro too but don't take my word on this.

She also did a solo on When Doves Cry unreleased or demo version too. I love that solo but her singing wasn't the best but I think her vocals improved overtime especially when she and Lisa did solo albums.

no not revolution,i know what she did in revolution.im looking for after revolution period.
i want to hear if she improved as a guitar player.she wasnt that good in revolution

Prince: "whose house? Wendy's house" 1986.

For a good start, I'd check out . . .

Sheryl Crow, "My Favorite Mistake" -- probably the best known on the radio, not to mention is one of the best guitar lines in my opinion almost anywhere.

k. d. lang's cover of "The Joker" came out a few years ago, and I think it was a single.

Most of Seal's 1994 album.

Most of Neil Finn's One Nil (One All in the States).

none because she can only play rhythm.....she was just picked because she a girl....entitlement more less

Wow. Lots of folks must be feeling pretty guilty to keep hiring her after all these years.

Alliasan said:

she gets hired as a name and good songwriter.anybody that knows guitar knows soloing not her thing....she is an excellent songwriter and she makes cool faces (like Prince ) to make people actually think she knows what the hell she is doing!

I think Wendy doesn't feel comfortable doing solos and I think I read somewhere she mention that. But that doesn't take away of her being a kickass versatile guitarist at her own right. Anywhoo, she is one of highly demand session guitarists and thats whats matter.

True I agree...but there aren't too many women who can play outstanding lead guitar! it's too advanced for their brains

I didn't mean it like that...I just meant they can't concentrate the 5 to 6 hours a day it takes to get really good on guitar....they be thinkin about OPRAH and shopping too much to commit to learn to play bitchin guitar IMHO....

thebanishedone said:

Go listen to the first album she plays a few. I've seen her play a perfect version of Alexa de Paris too, and that CAN'T be an easy one.

ok but please name the songs

Wendy Schmendy!!

I think that you are secretly obsessed with Wendy and Lisa.

ladygirl99 said:

Whatever u think....is true!!!!!

sexxydancer said:

That is what I thought.

Isn't Waterfall the best example of her playing lead guitar?

sosgemini said:

yes.
And "Blues Away". (God, I love that song)
