I agree. Nile IS the man. And I do think his rhythm guitar playing is better than Prince's. Prince is more talented in general, but Nile was the master of funky rhythm guitar back then (and he's a great producer, as well).

I really can't remember who said it, but they told this radio show in a interview that "Prince was the greatest/best rhythm guitar player he has ever seen"

Jimmy Jam said that on the BBC radio 2 interview.

nile gets a little corny with his chorus effects...i think tony maiden from rufus is just as good or better...and between nile and prince i will take prince...he plays a little less predictable than nile...

Apples and oranges. It's all on who u prefer. Both are excellent rhythm players. I love Niles to death. I do think though, P is more versatile as a rhythm guitarist.
