Your #1 Prince guitar solo.....?

So I was jamming out to some old school Prince today and I Listened to "Computer Blue"..... "P" skills when it comes to playing the guitar are at Hendrix Standards IMO! I bow at his feet for so many of his beautiful guitar solos.. but for some reason when ever I hear "computer blue" (I think damn this is one of the best guitar solos he has ever done) so my question to all of you is ....? Which song makes you go WOW! when "P"( plays his guitar)? wink biggrin

The Ride from the Sacrifice of Victor Video

For a studio guitar solo, it'd be Sexy MF.
But since that was Levi, I'd have to divide it into acoustic and rocky/electric categories. In which case the winners would be:
Acoustic - She Spoke 2 Me
Electric - Holy River or endorphinmachine
Take it - like Clarence said:
"I got a million of them -
all different U know."

Why is Prince in quotes?

"Endorphinmachine"

"Gold"

"Let's Go Crazy" (both of them)

"Batdance" has a good one.

On albums I'd say Batdance and Computer blue.


But live performances? Too many to choose from.

It was the cockiest solo i've ever seen him do, but holy shit, that is something that every Prince fan has to see, i almost fell out my chair the first time i saw it. Was a good all-round job by all the guys involved, great video to watch.

Just My Imagination (Small Club The Hague aftershow)
Joy In Repetition (ONA Live)

And I always liked the performance of "Do Me Baby" (during the "Nude" era I think?) where the song starts with a 2 minutes guitar solo (Tokyo?)
