GET IT UP BY THE TIME CONTAINS ONE OF THE BEST EVER GUITAR SOLO RECORDED BY PRINCE
ALSO IT'S THE MOST EXTENDED SOLO BEFORE 2002 AFTERSHOW VERSION OF JOY IN REPETITION.
THIS IS BIT OF A TRIVIA.
SO HOW MUCH YOU THINK HIS GUITAR STYLE CHANGED FROM GET IT UP UNTIL 2002 JOY IN REPETITION

I always thought that was Jesse Johnson, Caps Lock Fanatic.

YOU THOUGHT WRONG GET IT UP ,777-9311=PRINCE

thebanishedone said:

Wasn't wrong about the caps lock, though. Cut it out.

what's GET IT UP?

I didn't know 777-9311 was prince. It sounds NOTHING like his guitar style. Actually idk, maybe I'll give it another spin...meaning go into windows media and double click it, give it a spin, i sound old

No, it isn't.

That was all prince. Apparantly he was aiming the guiatr at jess as if to say 'look i can play guitar better than you'

Blackguitarist will tell you more

oh no i dont. never mind

well, just off the top of my head, wasn't one of the tracks from THE SCANDALOUS SEX SUITE well longer than Get It UP? And that was before 2002.

The guitar solo on 'The Raprture' (part 3 of 'The Scandalous Sex Suite') was indeed longer than 'Get It Up' (although I'm unclear whether most of it was an authentic solo on that particular track). Much of the solo was first heard at a faster tempo on 'Dear Michaelangelo' (Sheila E track). So it's not clear at which tempo Prince originally recorded it.

Prince has also officially-released at least one other longer guitar solo than 'Get It Up' before the release of the edited version of 'Joy In Repetition' on 'It Ain't Over!'.

It depends what we define as "solo" and officially released.

ie....the live solo on Purple Rain (from the Prince and the Revolution live!) must clock in beyond any studio track.....

langebleu said:

thats actually Kim Basinger playing guitar on that.

I thought I recognised those licks

That particular performance might be considered to have three solos: the noodling at the beginning, and then the two solos at the end. Both final solos clock in at slightly over the performance on 'Get It Up'.

i think the one from the boot Neon Rendezvous was pretty long and tasty.
