A favourite of mine is the solo during The Ride at the aftershow at Bagley's in London 1993. It can be seen on The Sacrifice Of Victor home video.

I have 2 favorites. Both from the Lovesexy era and live.

Anna Stesia - July 19, 1988, Milan, Italy

Just My Imagination - August 19, 1988, The Hague, Netherlands

Each and every solo from The Undertaker "album". So good.

At the end of NPG AHDIO #1, when he "finger-dances" around one or two notes over the backdrop of "Days O' Wild".

The guitar sound is on fire, Prince's timing is perfect and the emotion pours heavily over.

Hair-standing, teeth-grinding, head-shaking...

If there ever was a ghost pepper of a solo, this is it...

because it always catches me off guard and leaves me with eyes full of tears

Right now my favs are "Why Should I Love U?", the Kate Bush collab,

and as always "The Word", and the version of "When U Were Mine" on the One Nite Alone... Live box.

There are several but one of them is the Guitar Solo in DMSR Long Live Extended Version!

Some of the absolute best guitar solos the man ever did IMO (and also the most slept on): So Far So Pleased She Spoke To Me Too good. I'm wondering specifically about solos on his studio albums but if there are favorite live solos feel free to put them here too (there are a hell of a lot of great ones obviously).

.

- I think She Spoke 2 me was Levi. But I wonder if Prince did the keyboard solo. Does anybody know? Even Prince Vault site doesnt have full credits on it

Studio: When Doves Cry, Interactive, Purple Rain, Glass Cutter

.

Live: Purple Rain Milan 2010 (the best version of PR), Just my imagination (Small Club), While my guitar gently weeps (RRHOF), Fury (SNL).

Gotta check ´Rave´ and re-listen to ´The Ride 93, but how could I forget the Joy in Repetition 2002? And All the Critics live in Montreux is such a hidden gem
