it apsolutely doesn't matter if i give subject like "prince is great on guitar,prince didnt practise then,prince fucked his guitar"
as long as people make a nice positive insights of prince's guitar stuff.

So thebanishedone enjoys Prince's guitar playing ( as do I ) and enjoys discussing it....so do quite a few others. I don't see that he's written anything thats offensive to anyone. If people don't like the subjects he likes to discuss just don't read them....come on, why attack someone just because they're enthusiatic? Don't let 'em get ya down thebanishedone....keep on lovin' Prince's playing...talk about it all you like.

Amazing...

Please see your way out of this rather spirited disagreement between myself and Mr. Banished.

Thank U. Maybe you should read the whole thread to see the nature of these posts before u try and add your 2 cents...

JPW said:

As I stated before, this was between myself and thebanishedone and it wasn't all that - just a spirited disagreement. See your way out, please...

JesseDezz said:

You've posted in a public forum, the purpose of which is to allow any members to comment on anything thats posted there. If its a private dispute then conduct it in private via orgnotes. So, no, i won't "see my way out".



I have read the whole thread and I've already posted a couple of times so my 2 cents was added some time ago.....I'm into the dollars now.

Once again, if its a private discussion use orgnotes, thats what they're for. Otherwise you'll just have to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous comment....whether you approve or not.

Watch Purple Rain again. Whatch his hand during the solo at the end. He uses Tapping there. He can do it, and do it well he has.

thisbediscream said:

sure, it's not difficult at all, but you DO realise Purple Rain isn't live, right?

JPW said:

The recording was live. I know what they showed in the movie wasn't live, BUT when he played the song on Arsenio it was live. He tapped there too. So, I have to assume that when he recorded the song for the movie, he used the same technique..

I'm always right about these things, and even when I'm wrong, I coulda been right, so then, I'm still right. Right?

What slings and arrows? U take yourself - and this thread - much too seriously. Relax and be of good cheer. Go have a pint on JesseDezz. It's a friggin' thread for goodness sakes...

BTW: who here remembers a little ditty called Peach. Heavy rocker with some heavy thrashing of a guitar by someone called .

Its very simple Org. Prince might dress in pink and sing sometimes girlish.

He plays like a man. And a Superman at that. Quote it.

sdnafka-big thank you

jessedez chill out,i dont have nothing against you,i was bitter on your acussations about me posting on housequake,which insn't true.
i never ever posted a topic on housequake.

SDNafka said:

- I couldnt agree more. That´s right!

thebanishedone said:

It's all good - JesseDezz just forgot to take his meds, that's all Prince guitar talk is cool. I visited some other websites (like the fender guitar forums) and many of those cats don't take P seriously at all as a guitar player. They can't seem to get past the image.

Too sad...

jessedez they cant stand prince because they know nothing about prince beyond 1999 and purple rain.they don't even know that he plays guitar

but i think prince is elitist music.
it's not everybody cup of tea

Y'know, some of them have actually said that - one person even thought Prince just used the guitar as a prop. This was around the time of the SNL "Fury" performance.

MajesticOne89 said:

well...the person used the word incorrectly in the sentence...I think they were referring to that.

BobGeorge909 said:

lol i kno, me and him had a couple orgnotes about it. Its all good. But back to the subject, I think a lot of guitar players as jessedez pointed out dont take prince seriously as a guitar player. I've been taking lessons for about 2 years, and about a couple of months ago i asked my teacher ( a country player) if we could start playing some prince. He didn't kno any but he told me he would ask some friends that played guitar if they knew. The next lesson he told me that someone said this "why would anyone want to learn to play that? It's all effects." I was shocked, and felt lost, but in any case Prince is an excellent player. I don't think that people should critize his playing by the use of his effects or the simplicity of a solo/chord progression, but more on the arrangement, his use of creativeness to make unique sounds and other techniques he uses.

prince guitar solo are not simple at all,especial his wah wah work.
give your teacher a homework to learn to play guitar solos on everlasting now 9rainbow children) or rainbow children solo,lets see if he could do it .

thebanishedone said:

Lmao he probably can't. But thats another thing. Half the people the judge P dont kno much about his material. The dude didn't kno about SOTT!!! I'm afraid to ask if he knows what Purple Rain is...

majesticman listen,some people rave that prince guitar solos are simple but usualy those are people who never bother to learn by ear to play his solos.
prince only have few simple solos-little red corvette,i like it there,gold,doplphin.
his other solos are not simple,not because of tehnic its because of strange note choices.
jimmy jam or terry lewis said"prince hears notes that other musicians don't hear:.
i absolutly agree.

thebanishedone said:

Pshhh you got that right

ThreadBare said:

Amen. Prince definately has his own thing going on, original, playful -- kind of does stuff on the axe like a toy, which purists would frown on, he's great...but he's not a virtuoso. That's a whole other level, reserved for Vai, Satriani, etc. Technique-wise, there is no comparison, and some folks on this board should see some of their performances to get an idea of what the next level is. If guitar-tonics was all Prince focused on, maybe he'd get there, but he'd probably be bored!

MajesticOne89 said:

Can't you bring your teacher a CD or something? I did that all the time, he would then listen to what I wanted and showed it to me. Let your teacher hear it, maybe some rhythm stuff too, if you want to play that. If he's still saying the same - get rid of him.

JesseDezz said:

- Unfortunately true. I dont know why people hate him so much. I was reading some comments about his great solo on ´While my guitar gently weeps´ and some guys were complaining that he ruined it by trying to be on the spotlight, etc. It´s funny, because if he tried a fast solo, people would complain that he was trying to be virtuoso in a song that doesnt need flashy solos. But people praise Paul Gilbert if he does it. If he plays slow, people dont take him seriously because they say he is ´slow hand´. But if Clapton or Gilmour do the same thing, ah, they are great. It seems he will never please them.

At least Prince is playing more guitar now. SNL, RRHOF....let´s hope some non fans start paying more attention to him now as I did when I first listened to ´When doves cry´.

calldapplwondery83 said:

- Very true. The most ironic thing is that mature guitar players usually admire Prince as a guitar player: Clapton, Beck, Vai, Lukather...they all praised Prince´s playing. My teacher is a very open minded guy when it comes to music and he liked all the good Prince solos I showed him.

I think Vai admires Prince as a composer and "overall musician"... more than as a guitarist.
