jsb23nc	There is no general agreement. I've seen many musicians reply to this question and they have different answers. Even former Prince band members cannot agree. Miles Davis seemed to think Prince was best on drums, Michael Bland picked bass, Sonny Thompson picked piano, etc. Seems I recall Prince thinking he was most improvisational on guitar but most technically accurate on piano.

coolcat	Very difficult to answer since he's technically quite proficient on guitar, bass, piano/keys and drums...

It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

Defo geee-tar, although his delicate piano playing combined with his voice in "condition of the heart" has moved me to tears.
