hi all, since purchasing 3121 and witnessing prince tear up SNL and the brits with FURY i have decided to make a mix cd of great guitar trax from various albums. i have decided to restrict myself to only using studio album versions of the songs and trax that r legally avaliable. i also have decided to try and get as much of a "live band" feel as i possibly can. my inspiration for this mix cd is the fact that i have read many posts on here stating they wish prince would do a proper rock album and also because i recently had a conversation with a non fan who saw SNL and said "they never knew Prince could play the guitar like that!!!" so this is for the guitar fans i guess
what do u all suggest????

"I Like It There", absolutely.

Chaos and Disorder.....

"Rock Hard In A Funky Place"
"Positivity"
"Private Joy" - The closing Jimi style feedback solo.
"The Undertaker" - The ENTIRE CD. P is really tearing shit up on that.

I have undertaker on laserdisc ... what it actually released as a CD (officially ... not a boot, though i have that too)?

Sorry Jhasten..I have the boot on CD. (lol)

This solo shows up everywhere!

I could probably find that laser for dirt cheap huh?.....

"Private Joy" is the closest I've ever heard him sound like Jimi. I just found it funny that he swore (back then) that he never listened or heard of Jimi...and BOOM!..there's the solo. But I understand now why he said that back then.

also which i forgot to add is that i have chosen those songs because they all have a superiour sound quality than say bambi which pained me to leave of by the way. if only the early albums would get remastered gessh

nice mix darkknight!!!
siriusfunk yeah empty room is a must have on any config absolutely awesome guitar in that song. i haven't got the undertaker album unfortunately otherwise i would have included bambi or possibly the undertaker but nevermind i think i got a nice 19 songs!! perhaps my nxt task is to do an album with only guitar traxs using the linn drum machine such as shes always in ure hair, when u were mine etc. shit think im gonna be here all night

"Into The Light"

- as straight forward a rock song Prince ever did. We even get the old rock cliche of "backwards" guitar in this song.

I love this song to death, but I must admit Prince blew it with the inclusion of a sax solo instead of a guitar solo at the break. I do like the sax, but everytime I listen to this song I still scream for a guitar at the break. Still a fantastic song.

This is a guitar mix I made about two years ago. The criteria for the comp was officially released post-1990 tracks only. Here it is:

01) Xogenous
02) Calhoun Square
03) I Like It There
04) Damned If I Do
05) Da Bang
06) The Ride
07) Zannalee
08) Habibi
09) The Same December
10) Xpedition
11) When I Lay My Hands On U
12) Into The Light
13) I Will
14) Joy In Repetition (NYC Aftershow)



I had plans for a volume two featuring pre-1990 tracks, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man should be on there, IMO. It is his one his best examples of a pure pop guitar solo.

and the extended version has some cool blues licks in the last few minutes.

gr8 idea, but the only major drawback with doing a mix from all these albums is that the sound levels would be ALL OVER THE PLACE, ruining the overall experience.
