PrintableThey've all been mentioned already, but I'd have to include "I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man," "Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad," and "777-9311." | |

I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man is amazing. And I love the slowed down 3EG version too (though I'd prefer Prince doing the solo instead of Donna). Paisley Park is in your heart

Yea, the live version of Empty Room @ Montreux is god damn spine-tingling, goosebump-inducing, guitar-ballet righteousness, list-making peoples. | |

Habibi and The War. Although known to most fans I'm sure, they are worth mentioning. Habibi was Hendrix like even down to the Machine Gun lyrical interpolation in the song. The War was a slow build up, but when he opens up on that Solo, it's freaky, funky, and just out of this world. Honorary mention-Just my Imagination "Old man's gotta be the old man. Fish has got to be the fish." | |

Where the heck is The Ride? We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

What about "Get It Up" off of the 1st Time Album? To my understanding that's a Prince Solo. It's Tight, But I Think I Could Fit U In! | |

i always used to avoid Adonis & Bathsheba...but, one day i accidentaly allowed it to play all the way through, and i was surprised to discover the beautiful guitar work that starts about at the 3 minute mark and continues til the song's last note...now i dig the song... but i also love "Jughead", "Arrogance", and "The Flow", so what do i know? | |

Whenever I see video footage like this I wonder how anyone can say Prince was overrated on guitar (and a lot of people do). Is it just because it’s hard to find video online of live performances and people are just going by his studio albums? https://www.facebook.com/...vbMKgaWDaY Paisley Park is in your heart

I remember after his RRHOF performance, there were two camps: A) "Wow, I didn't know he could play like that?! Where can I find more stuff like this?" Or B) "Big deal! Clapton played it better! Prince is a hack/has been/expletive" Post 2004, more eyes are being opened to his guitar chops in the general public, but haters will still hate. "Old man's gotta be the old man.

After Prince died Slate published an article saying Prince was the greatest guitarist since Jimmy Hendrix. The comments were sad but predictable and it was obvious most making comments had rarely if ever seen Prince live. Where I lost it though was when someone was arguing why Johnny Ramone should be ranked higher than Prince in a list of greatest guitarists. Please. Paisley Park is in your heart

What is pretty telling about Prince's skill set is when you have people like Clapton, Tom Morello (RATM/Audioslave) Santana and numerous ROCK guitarists tell you his talent was unbelievably good. His image almost prefaced any real discussion of his chops, but dude was extremely good and his body of live work when truly assessed illustrates this.

Eddie van Halen.....LOL. Please, son, this is reality....not fairy land. EVH hasn't done anything but cop other people's licks and say look at me look at me. Steve Hackett was tapping in 1972 when Eddie was on his mama's teat. | |

It is very worthy of being the #1 studio guitar track. Live 4 Love ~ Love is God, God is love, Girls and boys love God above | |

Post 4/21, It's really not that hard to find videos of his live performances. Even while he was alive, there were a few videos or clips of his live performances out there, e.g. the Super Bowl performance, award shows, and the RRHOF performance. . Another point to consider is that the radio/single versions of some of his signature songs omit or significantly reduce the guitar solos. When I was in high school, and would hear WDC on the radio, the radio version contains almost none of the guitar solo. LGC contains a little bit of the solo, but not the whole thing. PR the radio single doesn't have the whole guitar solo. Finally, a lot of his best guitar solos come from songs that weren't single or were singles that had only minor chart success, e.g. I'm Yours, Anna Stesia, The Morning Papers.

But not enough is out there. Or it’s out there and then Web Sheriff or NPG get it taken down. 2nd night of 2011 North Sea Jazz Festival has some amazing guitar work but good luck finding it online.
