princes funkiest rhythm guitar moments

For me it's the intro on the video mixes of raspberry beret and u got the look

Each one SLAYS

Sometimes I have those in my head on loop

At times, live, I think he could overdo the auto-funk rhythm guitar (thinking of the 92 tour)

But on head on the 86 tour, he, or wendy, come up with some very, very tasty licks.

I think musicology as a song straight up sucks (lyrically more than musically), but live, he came up with some very funky riffs

You?

This list should be endless as there are sooo many throughout his career!! cool

A supreme, innovative funk rhythm guitarist!! Better than his lead playing imo, which was also very good.

For less obvious examples checkout his rhythm playing all over The Rainbow 🌈 Children!!

My absolute favourite actually comes from a song I don't rate too highly. The last 30 seconds of 'We Gets Up'. You have to pull the fonky face with that segment.

Great thread!

The version of Irresistable Bitch from 1999 SDE is pretty badass for rhythm chops, especially the breakdown towards the end. Check it out!

His rhythm playing is unreal, so so much more interesting than the flashy lead stuff.
