prince was a musician who used his functionality to realise his imagination.. he was as good as he needed to be for what he heard in his head. There are few better at that..and that he the capacity to do that singulary was rare and sometimes gets into tedious crap bout whos better..he was gifted in number of mediums in modern culture. There will always be people who think all sorts of shite ..hes good on a number of instruements .. Madhouse and stuff.. well it didnt work ..nor did the rap ..but he moved on

Threads like this make me glad I'm not a musician.

i'm glad u r glad .lol

ask other musicians who consistantly praise Princes ability to play.

This thread, although sounded negative at first, had some useful comments about how great musicians praised Prince as a musician/instrumentalist. I know about some, but I would love to see more comments of great musicians about him.

ThatWhiteDude said:

No. I'd even say he's underrated for the most part. He was leagues above anyone in his generation.

Amen.

But wasnt he trying to funk up his jazz?? or put it into his realm?

Fusion jazz was already funky .Hearbie Hancock and Headhunters

This from someone who finds Bill Connors more exciting than Eddie Van Halen... even posting a video on here to help us sleep. Herbie Hancock -- not someone you actually listen to, or have any interest in spending time discussing on a fusion jazz forum.

First, Chick Corea. Now, Herbie Hancock and Bill Connors? You really don't like jazz, do you?

who cares what he likes.he is here only to provoke. I'm still waiting on him to accept my offer for a guitar duel. So he can show me how he does his thing and how musical education don't matter and i will show him the opposite but Moody don't have the guts to accept simply because a) he cant play b) he can play but at a very rudamentary level.So Moody when are we gonna do that guitar duel.Did you chicken out or what? i'll b nice i promise .lol

.

Well, yeah, I've realized multiple times he's not here to have a rational and well-balanced discussion, that's certain. I was just trying to lighten up the mood. On the other hand, I'm not sure a "musical duel" between the two of you would solve any interesting problem.

.

Anyway, I think pretty much everything has been said about the original question, so I won't repeat myself and I'll leave this thread alone.

See that proves a point that i am much more in2 this subject than you.and as i said either accept my invitation for a friendly guitar ,piano battle or stop harrasing me.

In my circles "u are in love with Prince and if he farts you would say it's not a regular fart.it's a purple fart" would constitute harassment. I have posted opinions, including opinions from respected musicians regarding Prince -- none of us are interested in your chopsticks. If you find Prince to be overrated and prefer Bill Connors, then the logical ask is why aren't you on a Connors or jazz forum.

Bill Connors is a much better guitar player than Prince but Prince is great at some other things like singing for example.Maybe u should stay away from my topics in order not to hurt your soul and visit other interesting topics here like "what kind of covid mask would Prince wear if he was alive today" and i promise to you i will never visit nor comment any topics that u make.

I understood that you thought Bill Connors was much better -- and hence my comments. He is so much better that you have no interest in posting on his work in a jazz forum. And you are the one with a hurt soul -- or you won't be harrassing everyone who disagrees with you or calls you out. And just a reminder that Prince.org doesn't belong to you. Enjoy that Prince Covid mask... seems more your speed than his music.

There is help available... you need it.
