I dont think he rehearses solos note by note as Satriani does. Somebody mentioned the differences between 'Fury' from SNL and Brit performances, and it's true. The solos are different.
However I think Prince (like most guitar players) has a handful of licks that he loves to use, and sometimes he repeats himself. I would like to see him playing an all-improvised session (without effects or even distortion), like the jazz players do. I am curious about how he would sound. |

You only have to listen to many of the demos from the Revelations DVD bootleg. Many examples of unaffected guitar prowess. | |

People should listen to the instrumental version of "My Summertime Thang", Prince's version.
He kicks ass on guitar. I can understand why people who have only heard some released stuff might be in doubt though. There are live and studio boots which exemplify his skills much better. | |

Well, it just seems to me the opposing posts are really two sides of the same coin, being argued emphatically. | |

Or is it a collection of performances? Ah, I know his version of "My summertime thang"...he really kicked ass. I only dont know why he doesnt record more stuff like that. It seems that sometimes he avoids playing jazz (example: SOTT movie, where he doesnt join the band on that Parker song, or "She spoke 2 me (extended)" where it's probably Levi), although he certainly loves the music... Anyway, thanks for the tip, I will search for it  |
