Prince's 15 Most Righteous Guitar Tracks

.

The response to Prince’s death was a global rainstorm of emotion. He was many things to many people: a whirling funketeer who woke up sexual urges, an iconoclast who inspired individual expression, a symbol of everything pop could be.

.

Belatedly, though, a consensus is forming behind his primary status as a fearsome guitarist. Prince was so gifted, he overshadowed this trait himself, with tastefully plucked hits like “Kiss,” “Cream” and “Raspberry Beret.” You already know those tunes. Here, however, is a list of the truly mind-blowing numbers—some of them deep cuts, others from Prince’s essential 1984 masterpiece Purple Rain—that should convince even skeptics.

.

Note: Only the six-string sizzle of Prince is included (sorry, Revolution sideman Dez Dickerson and your mighty solo for “Little Red Corvette”).

it seems like he DID reference that thread...most if not all his choices were in that thread...i know 3 of mine were...and i recognized almost all of others there too...although its probably kind of obvious what P's greatest guitar work was, to someone who loves his music and loves guitar

Thanks for the link. You could tell the writer truly admires Princes' guitar work. Nice he included a few more obscure tracks, even if he did get it from the org. People talk about it is a shame that Prince didn't have more pop hits, but even more of a shame that he had only a few rock radio hits! If only he looked like a headbanger, then....
