Prince is in a guitar hero mode.i believe that his guitar solos from Canal + performance are

the best guitar solos someone played live on tv.

Every solo was epic and he throw in some new licks

and he was shredding a lot .

shredding?...Nah. (leave that to Yngwie)

wailing and ripping? YES!!

Oh they were good.

But whether or not they are/were "the best guitar solos someone played live on tv." is totally subjective.

best guitar solos on tv song after song

he did kick some butt on the git. i have to say so myself.

Prince always plays nice but here he was on fire.he played great fast fancy licks during Shhh

the best i've ever seen him.

most of the times he relies on high bands but this time he was into playing fast mode.

i saw the first 2 songs, the band was thumpin fat, and prince was nothing short of wonderful in every respect, including his solos.

You should check Another Lover and Shh for great guitar pyrotechique

Prince plays epic guitar solos on a fairly regular basis, cuz....he's awesome.
