Ultimate guitar album I'm trying to put an album together of Prince's best guitar tracks for a friend who mainly listens to hard rock and metal. Here's a rough draft of what I have so far (in no particular order). The ride Bambi The dreamer The truth Boom Joy in repetition (live version) Empty room Electric chair Purple rain America Crimson & clover Any suggestions? Baby, that was much too fast... 1958-2016 | |

IMO, I Like It There, Guitar and Fury should replace most of the tracks on that list. (Insert something clever here) |

Chaos & Disorder should be on there, maybe one of the live versions. | |

Throw "Habibi" in there. Straight out of the "Band Of Gypsys" book. | |

I made a guitarcentric mix for a friend recently, not because she's a hardrocklover * Darling Nikki (Intro backmask played forward) Wow Dolphin (Undertaker version) Paisley Park (remix) The Whole of the Moon (Rally for Peace live) Leititgo (Live from Paisely Park) Purple House Spanish Castle Magic (Montreux) Honky Tonk Women (Undertaker) Come (10,000 Wallpaper) The Question of U (NPG Ahdio) Something In The Water (3rd Eye Girl Rehearsal) Octopus Heart Revelation Empty Room Beautiful Strange (Rave In2 version) Comeback
*
I could probably make another CD or 2 Some contenders would definitely be...
*
Fury (SNL) Tick, Tick, Bang #1 U When U Were Mine (One Night Alone) The Ride Vavavoom DMSR (Small Club) Let's Get Satisfied/I Got My Mind Made Up (Starlight) Boomstratus Dark Computer Blue She's Always In My Hair Whole Lotta Love Habibi Endorphinmachine/She's Always in my Hair (3rd Eye Girl Rehearsal) Just My Imagination (Small Club) Johnny Be Goode/Anotherloverholeinyohead (Superbowl Press Conference) Anotherlove Plectrum Electrum Scandalous (The Rapture)
*
I'm sure there are many more possibilities. Sometimes you have to look at songs that are not so obvious and mix it up some so it has some variety yet flows well together. Just my suggestions.
* Odd, I'm putting in spaces, but it posts as one long list, irritating. I had to put a little * where the space bar separates

necessarily, but just because the songs flowed together so nicely

Building off your list (and this is going to challenge your friend's need for guitar in unconventional ways):
The Ride Let's Go Crazy Fury (SNL) Whole Lotta Love (Aladdina DVD) Honky Tonk Woman (The Undertaker) Peach Endorphinmachine The Question of U (any Steve Vai or Joe Satriani fan could even appreciate this) Rock N' Roll Is Alive I'm Yours Marz AnotherLove (from PE) The Morning Papers Papa Loose! Computer Blue (find the full version) The Cross America Crimson & Clover Gold Chaos and Disorder Zanalee Dolphin Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad (Houston 81 is a good live version, too) Temptation (hack off that corny ending though)
Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking. |

If you have access to "Just My Imagination" from the Small Club, that's an eargasmic must. Pink Cashmere We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

. Crimson & clover . Any suggestions? . Yeah, drop "Crimson And Clover" from your list. Oh, is that bad. . You want a cover? Put "One Of Us" on there. | |

I can't believe nobody's mentioned "While my guitar gently weeps" from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Making love and music are the only things worth fighting for. |

No one mentions "Witness 4 The Prosecution"?

Shhh (Coachella) Most of Montreux 2009 It's interesting how he deciding to completely master the guitar after Rolling Stone left him off the Top 100 Guitarists list (WTF) He was about to do the same thing with the piano. | |

[Edited 6/1/16 8:37am] That's a great list! Thank you! Unfortunately I lost a lot of those bootlegged songs because of a computer virus  luckily I had some music backed up on a hard drive but not everything. . All the songs suggested really show what an incredibly diverse and exciting guitarist he was. Baby, that was much too fast... 1958-2016 | |

Love the guitar on Shhh. If I was going to include Crimson and Clover, I would probably use the version from Ellen DeGeneres' show. | |

The final minute of 777-9311 has blistering guitar work that I believe was done by Prince himself... |
