Guitar solo in Xogenous

Dig the guitar solo on Xogenous...some of the best work I have ever heard from Prince - just not as overt as one of his scorching rock guitar solos as it is an excellent understated jazz solo. He takes on a completely different persona on guitar. Amazing range as a guitar player.

It's a real good solo, but it seemed out of place to me. Just doesn't 'fit'.

I thought the liner notes on the site refer to Prince being on keyboards. But much of the guitar work on the album sounds a helluva lot like Prince.

the 2nd to last song blew me away.

my favourite by far...bit george bensonish...the little lick b4 the beat kicks in, right at the back of the mix, beautiful.

I got it on now, also feelin the sax solo where he/she (candy/maceo...think it's candy) runs up the whole tone scale.

Being a keys player myself, it'd b nice 2 hear some of prince's handywork on rhodes/hammond on this track.

Not enough people ranting about this fantastic album, good post.

That solo definitely is a killer! I'm really into those kind of solos right now.
I love it how he combines solo lines and rhythm in this solo!

And Tom... the liner notes state that Prince is on keyboards and guitar for this album.
