Most of those I can see. Not so much Private Joy though.Actually, Temptation reminds me of Hendrix the most.

Hendrix: Cybersingle, Witness, Temptation, Had U, The Ride, Last December

Santana: countless, really. Damned if I do, Cinnamon Girl, There Is Lonely, Last December, Everlasting Now, In a Spanish Villa, Joy in Repetition

Clapton: Free, Pink Cashmere, The Morning Papers, She's Always in My Hair

George Benson: You Want Me, Spoke to Me (is that he or Levi?),

B.B. King: 5 Women,

Vai: Most of the Rainbow Children (sounds like he'd been heavy into Passion & Warfare when recording that one...

what about the ride?
You saw the apple
hanging on the tree,
But missed the orchid
in your gaze

How 'bout Strollin'? Whoever it is sounds reminiscent to George Benson as well.

You mean he sounds like he wishes he was George Benson. That little minor-pentatonic noodling he does on the "jazz" tunes ain't even close. I love Prince (and his guitar playing), but I gotta keep it real. Benson is in the first tier of jazz guitarists and Prince is not.

This is the opposite of the question at hand... but Maroon 5's cover of "Pure Imagination" has this guitar solo about halfway through that always reminds me of Prince's playing. My boyfriend agrees...
I mean, like, where is the sun?
