Part II of the "Scandoulous" suite!!!!! If don't know about this, the U betta check it out!!

Anyone else know about this?

I really like the simple wild one in..... "Miss Thang"

Definitely the solo to Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad.
He played that right?

That guitar solo is similar to the solo in Sheila E's Dear Michelangelo.

"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" - 2004 R&R HOF

She's In My Hair...concise, urgent, nice technique...my favorite Prince guitar solo.

Also nice and propably overlooked:

The solo on the album version of A Love Bizarre.

The sped-up jazz deal? Wonderful.

Yes, that one! Is it sped-up, though? Been sometime since I last listened to it, but I wanted to mentioned something not as obvious as the RnRHoF, for example.

Something In The Water rock version.

I think it's the same one, just slowed down.

I'd also like to add the solo from "Into the Light" to the pot.

Add the one from Get It Up as well

co-sign on the lot of ye

"Let's Go Crazy"
"Batdance"
"She's Always In My Hair"
"Get It Up"

Hmmm... Really?

*reaching for my copy of "Romance 1600*

let's not forget lady cab driver....plus The Ryde (specifically sacrifice of victor video version)

and eye hate you....particularly emotive

I hate U's solo is particularly grabbing. You got that right.

Nice.

Oh, wow...give me almost anything off the Purple Rain soundtrack and I'm happy with that...and I love the Batdance one; it sounds really good to me. There's another I'm thinking of that is just fabulous, but I can't think of which song it is...

ok ok, I'm going to have to pay more attention to his guitar solos. On another thread, we were debating if he could be on the level of Eddie Van Halen or Hendrix, and I simply don't hear that kind of otherworldly virtuosity.

But I do remember when I saw him live in 2004, I hadn't seen him in over a decade and the band started up and I was thinking "...is this it? This is so totally NOT meeting my expectations..."

Then suddenly, he started shredding on the guitar

and before I knew it, tears were popping out of my eyes...

Maybe it was in "Let's Go Crazy"? It was right at the beginning of the Musicology show.

Oh!!

Forgot about 'Computer Blue'...

The piano complimenting the guitar solo is break taking...

Almost classical.....

Yeah, I've had that experience. He's not technically an "equal" to VH, but he does some brilliant stuff.

The one in "Dolphin" is short 'n' sweet.

There are quite a few like that, including (but not limited to):
"She's Always In My Hair"-the bass interaction is brilliant
"Dinner With Delores" -it's a duo, right?
"Cybersingle" -the odd installation of the whammy
"The Question Of U" -complex simplicity
"When You Were Mine" -harmonizing chords!
"When Doves Cry" -brittle and slicing
etc.

The longer ones that still send chills are the likes of what's in:
"Computer Blue (extended version)" -urgency that noone will hear (damn!)
"America (extended version)" -right after that classic Prince bellow (badass!)
"Purple Rain" -well thought out, but swung from the reality of a live performance. That's something one can't produce in the studio= pure passion

Also, the whole 'Rainbow Children' album. Every guitar note was outstanding to me.

But, what the hell do I know?
I'm a bass player

Hey, talk to Marcus Miller and Victor Wooten about nuances delivered on other instruments.

And, heck, I play bass, too. Talk on, amigo!!!

Then, there's the solo from "I Will."



Such a good solo.

The end of Holy River.

ThreadBare said:

Actually, when I responded earlier and wrote "Into the Light", I was thinking of "I Will". I've always loved that one.

xpertluva said:

Yeah, it's gorgeous. Some of his best solos are the ones where he doubles the guitars:

JIR
Morning Papers
I Will
Mountains
