Definitely guitar. That's what I know a lot of his work for. He plays guitar unlike anyone else I've seen. I haven't seen much of his keyboarding, although he can make Purple Rain sound beautiful on it (in the movie and during the Oprah interview). He's more of the guitar-playing type the way I see him.

This is kind of related to topic. I was asked a question the other day that hopefully the Org can answer. How many instruments does P play? If some one could answer I would appreciate.

God Bless,

I think about 27... but I'm not sure its the exact number... maybe he's learned how to play more since they last asked him.

I wish I knew which ones, though, the guy is super talented for being able to do that.

Well... Let's find out:

1. Piano
2. Keyboards
2. Bass
3. Guitar (hmm... should we count it as a separate instrument with each type of guitar he plays?) eek
4. Drums
5.

Please feel free to add on...

prince dont play 30 instruments.it was a media hype.
he plays great bass ,drums,guitar,keyboard.
thats about it.
whsat is so great about him is that he plays those instruments on proffesional level.
i play guitar and piano and bass.
but it's hard to play all 3 on the same level.

Very true... he makes electric guitar sound beautiful (especially during his Purple Rain instrumental solo during the HalfTime Show... still in love with the way his purple symbol guitar sounds)

Spiritually, I'd say he's at his best on the keys. But when it comes to jammin, I'd say the G is where he's at best.
