and how can people claim that a guy who died 30 years ago is stillthe greatest ever. Much respect to Jimmy, but he's gone 30 years and counting...there are great innovative badass players out there now..BUT! had he lived, we all know he'd be wiping the floor with the greats of today...anyway, when People compare Prince / Jimmy, they are simply trying to say that Prince is as great as Jimmy was at the peak of his game..may have took him 30 years in the biz to get there but he IS up there none the less, and its not a put down for Jimmy, all praises to him, he;s the reason we have great players now...he opened the gate...and many cats out there right now right up there too...living off Jimmys' legacy? sure they are...he did thing with the guitar that was way ahead of his time(30 years ago). | |

Every time I think I've heard his best guitar playing,I find something better. Hendrix aint got shit on prince, yeah I said it. [Edited 6/26/09 18:58pm] [Edited 6/26/09 18:59pm] first of all you're late. Please,we all love Prince. The guitar was an extension of Jimi. Prince is more of a jack of all trades. Makes no sense to compare or downplay the skill of Hendrix vs Prince. Both are great, but it's safe to say Without Jimi there would be no Prince. Release Yourself | |

considering the fact that one prince admitted himself that he can not match jimi style of playing and it would be a pity to try to.number two that solo that you are creaming in your pants over is an old carlos santanna riff off of one of his albums.prince is known for stealing riffs.Every time I think I've heard his best guitar playing,I find something better. Hendrix aint got shit on prince, yeah I said it. [Edited 6/26/09 18:58pm] [Edited 6/26/09 18:59pm] So Which song did he rip that solo off of, I would like to compare for myself. Name of the album and song please. | |

3232 said: Just to name a few...is it just me or does his live solos stands out more than album versions? I agree. That is, I think, part of the reason that he is often overlooked. In order to hear a lot of those great live solos you need to find "unofficial" releases. | |

Stevie Ray was greater than both of them. Buckley kicks most of their asses in terms of complexity and emotion. Malmsteen, Satriani and Buckethead are better than them all technically. There is no GREATEST guitarist - only "The best at doing this sort of thing..." and then FAVORITE. I can buy the argument that Prince is better via his versatility, however, being versatile means you're also not the master of any one of those disciplines. Someone who puts all of their energy into one school of guitar playing will probably wipe the floor with Prince, Hendrix or Stevie Ray. But who do you want to go hear play guitar? For me, it'd be Prince, Stevie Ray, Buckley, or Hendrix, because there's an emotional core that comes shining through which far outweighs the technical proficiency. And for me, that's what music's about: the emotion. Very good point about versatility, but then, how do we know that Prince is not a master of all these style in question? Probly why his peers call him a GENIUS. Not only is he versatile, but is a master of the many style that he plays while other greats spends eternity embracing one or two. Do you know? | |

This is an amazing version of " JUST MY IMAGINATION" that has been around since 1989. Prince's flawless over 3 minute guitar solo was absolutely stunning. If you are a PRINCE fan and you have not heard this performance yet.....I strongly urge everyone to try and find it. The MAGIC was surely there that evening. That rare performance was from a soundboard "LOVESEXY AFTERSHOW" that featured a lot of rarities that evening with only 300 people present.
