Did you know that it was actually Andre Cymone who came up with this solo?

All of the above, and I love the ´Interactive´ solo. Too bad Prince usually puts his guitar too low in the mix.

Scandalous Sex Suite Part III: The Rapture

Let's Go Craxy

Bambi

Paisley Park (Extended Version)

Computer Blue (official and outtake versions)

3 Chains of Gold (end)

I Hate U (end)

Rock Hard in a Funky Place

Time Waits for No One (Mavis Staples)

* There was some performance from Rave Un2 the Year 2000 that kicked by butt! faint As it's been years since I saw it last, I don't recall which song, though. (Joy in Repetition, maybe? hmmm)

* The Love We Make (not really a solo, but a really exhilerating, simple riff from 1:10 to 1:45)

* Lotusflow3r in general has some of the best solo guitar work I've heard from Prince in years, I thought.

* Judging from the sounds of the closing fade, I've always suspected we missed out on what originally was a fun solo at the end of Vicki Waiting. Call it my favorite solo negativa. smile

Rave from Small Club!

The jazz licks combined with a very brutal sound, stellar!

If you ever get a chance to see the live footage of Coachella 2008 where he performs the Beatles "Come Together" he does a outstanding guitar solo in that!
