bambi and i!m yours guitar parts just have distortion and repeated notes......the guy who playin on get it up is whaling....tone is different than prince tone....its jesse folks....cant fake style

Don't talk about style and mention Jesse Johnson. Repeated notes? How about repeated solos from Jesse. That man does nothing but play pentatonic and blues scale up and down. We know for a fact Jesse is playing solos on Pandemonium. Listen to the two rock tunes on that album. You could switch solos and not even tell the difference. Prince has style and his ideas on guitar are usually very interesting. Jesse has nothing going for him except clean execution. His solos are boring as hell to a real musician and guitarist. Yes, I am.

i meant no disrespect to anyone but i know prince wasnt that good back then! you may be a real musician but did u graduate from berklee? NO! i trust their opinion because they ate drinked and slept guitar at berklee!

Hey KidMelody, how long have you really been a Prince fan? I've been a fan since 1979 as are alot of folks here and we've seen Prince in concert from the early days and trust me Prince WAS and IS that good on guitar. No need to even drink the Purple Kool Aid.

I forgot what a jam this song was. Is that a synthesizer or keyboard?

Hey kid During the recording of the first ALBUM by the Time Jesse wasn't even in the band.the band was only Prince and Morris,with some synth solos by dr Fink and Lisa's back vocals.And Yes Prince played always that well.listen to Dirty mind era boots,tons of great guitar solos by Prince.that's much better thing instead of showing how little you know about Prince's history and his ability on instruments or better try to learn guitar,in 5 years or so maybe you can learn to play Why You Wanna Treat me So Bad guitar solo until then in the voice of Lil' Richard :Shut Up [Edited 8/1/12 22:15pm]

If you want (or need) to know the truth, you should ask Jamie Starr or Alexander Nevermind or Christopher This raises another point. I love the fact that Prince wrote and played on countless side projects and never wanted to take credit, even early in his career and before Purple Rain made him a mega star! What was the point behind that? You would think he would take full credit to help establish him as major contender in the music business, but he opted out. Why? Oh yeah, do your homework. Jesse wasn't in the Time until after the album was completed.

Thank u Aunt Ester and you got the perfect quote in your signature for kidmelody ...."Watch It Sucka"

I think it has 2 synth solos and 1 guitar solo...

which gets me thinking how Bad ass Prince is, he's playing those synth solos and the guitar solo!

This would be one of the perfect songs of a video showing Prince playing all these instruments.

Eh? This is about the most ridiculous post ever!

YOU don't know that Prince wasn't "that good back then", you are relying on YOUR FRIENDS for that information. Furthermore, being at a certain college does not mean that they are right. I too know someone who graduated from Berklee and she's an asshole!

But, hey, continue with your flights of fancy and blinkered listening to people you hold in high esteem simply because they attend a certain institution - that's going to get you really far in life.

P didn't get good until 1988???!!?.........too funny. Keep digging deeper and deeper in that purple hole.

..and I know a lot of GIT, BIT and Berklee grads who praise P's musical skills and guitar chops.

banished you brought up a lot of good points as always my friend.

Kid Melody go and watch Dirty Mind era concerts Paris or New York with your Berklee friends to see how great ripping solos Prince played ,extended Why You Wanna Treat Me.if 100% of Prince.org members tell you it's Prince you should believe and you should listen to Prince's guitar playing to memorize his style so you wouldn't talk bullshit.And just because some of your friend attends Berklee don't mean a shit in this case.

my berklee friends say it was common practice for stars to have someone playing backstage behind the curtains so just because he got a guitar on doesnt mean he was actually playing it back then.they also told me that prince was taking vocal and guitar lessons then from seth riggs and john scoffield.they know these people from berklee studies and they say its true prince was still learning to get good back then! again no disrespect to your opinions and beliefs but I have facts backing me up from people with degrees in music!

Like other posters have said this topic has already been discussed quite a bit.

Jesse said in a recent radio interview that he was already slated to be in Morris' new band which was then being called 'The Nerve'. Prince (and Morris acting as Prince's assistant) went on the Dirty Mind tour. When they came back they put together the rest of the band. So Jesse was in already. He just didn't play on the albums.

Prince has also been quoted as tossing Jesse a cassette of the album and saying you play a great solo on here. I think the 'Get It Up' and '777-9311' solos were both a kind of 'in yo face' to Jesse, showing that Prince could play mean, freak-out jimi hendrix style guitar just as good as Jesse could.

It's quite creepy how people will flame each other on 2 pages of thread when there is a site named Princevault which contains the answer

Did the administrators of that site go to Berklee? Because if they didn't, this can't possibly be right.
