I would like to make a Prince cd for my brother who plays guitar. He likes blues, namely Tommy Castro, Stevie Ray Vaughn etc. Any suggestions on songs?

The Ride
Pink Cashmere
for starters...

Let's go crazy - Whenever I think of guitar playing I think of that song for some reason...

Muse 2 the Pharaoh - I just like it alot...no guitar...just a great groove...It'd probably be fun making some light and smooth guitar lines for it...

The Cross

Shhh

Endorphine Machine

Maybe? I don't really know exactly...

Here's a Best of Prince Guitar mix I made for a friend:

1. Guitar Segue (unreleased from New Power Madhouse 24)
2. Live 4 Love
3. The Rainbow Children (part two - instrumental)
4. Computer Blue
5. Rock Hard In A Funky Place
6. The Morning Papers
7. The Same December
8. The Ride (from Live at the Aladdin Las Vegas)
9. My Summertime Thang (unreleased instrumental version)
10. Illusion, Coma, Pimp and Circumstance
11. Beautiful Strange
12. Family Name (edited to remove the long intro)
13. Guitar Improv (precursor to Purple House from Rave Un2 The Year 2000)
14. There Is Lonely (I realise this probably isn't Prince on guitar, but the guitar playing is beautiful)
15. Habibi
16. West (edited to include only the first slow section)
17. Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic (live from Small Club, edited for time)

Gives a good varied picture of how good P is, I think.

I'd also add I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man, Batdance, Joy in Repetition, Automatic, 3 Chains of Gold.
