Prince is great, but Paul Gilbert plays in a league of his own.
Listen to "Get out of my yard". In God we trust. | |

All that matters is that we love his guitar playing. No matter what anyone says about where he falls in some Human line-up... "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |

Wow... I'm impressed ![]() Seriously, Prince never gets THIS much credit. Not that I've seen anyway. I'm glad to hear it. I'm glad though it was 2nd to Jimi Hendrix, though. He's practically legendary, that man. I suspect that Prince was influenced by him a little because people thought he was "doing the Jimi Hendrix thing with his guitar." He brushes off that comparison, though, because he thought it was because of the color of his skin and there won't be another like Jimi Hendrix. All he can do is be himself. Prince is brilliant all around as a musician. I'm glad he ranked this high, beyond thrilled, in fact. I mean, who else can project their innermost feelings through guitar strings? That itself makes Prince special ![]() had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong. It started raining, baby, the birds were gone | |

Prince once said that the main influence on his guitar style is Carlos Santana. In God we trust. | |

i'm not sure what that means. although it would be nice if he did a guitar based album. | |

It seems he's getting better as time goes on. I often thought he was underrated, but after performances like RRHOF, SNL and the Superbowl, folks can't deny this dude. | |

You can definately hear more of a Santana influence in Prince's playing rather than Hendrix. Cool Prince is finally getting some of the correct level of credit he deserves. Shame it has taken so long! 'I loved him then, I love him now and will love him eternally. He's with our son now.' Mayte 21st April 2016 = the saddest quote I have ever read! RIP Prince and thanks for everything. | |

the only people that think prince should be #1 either don't listen to other music, or are fanatics who can't admit that prince isn't as good as a guitarist as...
prince is very talented and has had his moments, but he shouldn't even be in the top ten. [Edited 12/6/07 16:44pm] | |

[Edited 12/6/07 16:44pm] well, i think most of us know that these kinds of polls/lists are a matter of opinion, taste,... just glad to see him getting props he deserves! that doesn't mean that i'm a fanatic, and it certainly doesn't mean i don't listen to other music. don't know how you came to that conclusion... we're like two petals from the same flower, baby... | |

From rock, to country, to jazz. I also happen to personally rank Prince as MY number 1 guitarist. Not based on technical ability or speed or anything of that nature, but based on his particular style and charisma, and what he has created on the guitar. Most of my favorite instrumentalists aren't technically the "best" on their instrument, but have a personal flavor, if you will, that attracts me to them. With that being said, I would never try to convince anyone that Prince is the "best" guitarist in the world. He is exactly who we thought he was | |
