Hello Prince.org! (My first post)
I'd like to know what people think is P's best work on the guitar. I'm trying to convince a "Classic Rock" lover to give Prince a chance. So far I like:

We gonna make it funky,
The Undertaker,
The Ride, etc.

I figured this would be the best place to ask so what do y'all think?

Are u including unofficial stuff as well?

Bambi

I told my former boss about Prince's guitar work and offered to make him a CD. These songs come immediately to mind for me:

Private Joy
Question of U
Purple Rain
We Can Funk
Lady Cab Driver
Batdance
Computer Blue
Annastesia
I Could Never Take The Place of Your Man

Hey you!
How could I possibly forget about Bambi?

Zannalee
Alexa de Paris
The Morning Papers
Let's Go Crazy (go get that sexy 12" version)

God (instr.)

Something In The Water-Neon Rendezvous

I'm looking to make a playlist out of anything, official or not.

So far I like these suggestions:

Zannalee,
Alexa de Paris (for guitar work? NOT!)
The Morning Papers
The Question of U
Lets go Crazy (yes I have the 12" and just about everything else)

Great so far, give me more please!

Just My Imagination (Small Club)

Thanks for your input everybody.

Why U Wanna Treat Me So Bad?

& Batdance has always been my absolute favourite.

The Morning Papers

Try that "God(instrumental)" thing, too.
or if you could get your buddy to sit through the extended version of "America" to get THAT juicy solo!

...or that "Take Me With U" video...

lotsa stuff

YES, AMERICA extended is just tooo special! Like a guitar-spacy-trip from arizona to neptune! I like that stompin' bass and the elastic beat up to +20 minutes of orgasm!

Temptation
Let's Go Crazy
The Last December
The Rainbow Children
The Question of U
Joy In Repetition

Hey you forgot some songs from the chaos and disorder album. Zannalee is a good one.

The Holy River

paisley park, the 12" or the full-length version, whichever...with the long-ass guitar and dolphin intro. this kicks my ass every time.

I Hate U
Computer Blue (original,if u can get it!)
Batdance

That's right, especially the guitar work on I Will is very beautiful and subtle.

U got my vote 4 THE UNDERTAKER & THE RIDE! BAMBI is another hottie. i assume u r not referring to his "slower ballads" where he also does some awesome playing as well? i.e. PINK CASHMERE, NOTHING COMPARES ETC, JOY IN REPITITION... i like his work in KISS, (with a little of james brown) CALHOUN SQUARE, INSTRUMENTAL JAM, GOLD, EVERLASTING NOW, 1+1+1 is 3, RAINBOW CHILDREN (but this is more jazzy than rock), and his covers of SING A SIMPLE SONG, & WHOLE LOTTA LOVE. (lots more...)

One song that pops in my head immediately...

Xenophobia (towards the end) That guitar solo, kicks ass!
And Rhonda on the Bass during that solo, my God, I think I'm in love

Next concert in Detroit. I'm gonna ask Rhonda for a hug, during the soundcheck. Think I have a chance? Wish me luck

Blue
"Wait a minute band, on the 1...!"

I'm late.
Everybody took mine.
