would u prefer to hear Prince play only the piano? Or should he stay on his guitars?
PERSONALLY...he's absolutely disgusting (in a good way! ) on a guitar. He kills it!
The piano is good 2 but... well...what do ya'll think??

(remember ya'll:it ain't ova!!!)
God, i luv THAT MAN

without a doubt: GUITAR.

In the beggining of his career he played much better piano but he hasn't improve his skills. Instead, he was an ok guitar player and has become a great one (I heard some concerts of the Purple Rain era and "Let's go crazy" solos are "ugly" compared with the one of Rave2000 ad example)

A MIX of everything!

geee taaarrr!!!

What a choice you let us make. I'd choose for guitar because i can hear other people play more beautiful on piano
Still a hard choice because i like prince also for his piano playing.

I like the way Prince plays piano because he just adds or does little things that sound so personal and sweet but when you put that guitar in his hands he turns into a dirty lil monster!!!

Yeah I agree, when he plays the piano, he's able to interpret feelings, emotions, and moods through rhythms and chord changes/progressions. Which is a very hard thing to do. He turns the piano which is otherwise a formal/classical instrument into a vehicle of emotional response. (Lil Richard, Duke Ellington, are others whom have done this).

But I also have to say, when he plays the guitar, it becomes a part of his body! Like an extension of his arms. Just like Isiah Thomas and Allen Iverson with a basketball. You forget that it's not actually attached to his body. I believe he can play better than most people can speak. He's told me stories with his guitar, and not spoken a word.

By the way, ONA CD is absolutely beautiful: Young and Beautiful, Here On Earth, gorgeous tunes. That album sends me and my girl sound asleep (it's soothing), after a Emancipation Disc II session

Blue
Dont play me

That would very hard for me to choose
I love him a piano he so tender touching
the keys and plays with so much feeling
it a wonderful experience to see.

I love him playing the keyboard guitar which
he has so much speed running his fingers over
the key. But the guitar is his funk and I
just love watching him get off.

I enjoy anything he plays. 8)
