I've practically nailed the guitar solo from Computer Blue on my alto saxophone. I can also play many songs on my bass - Sex Shooter and I Would Die 4 U being the easiest bass lines. Right now I'm trying to get AnotherLoverHoleNYoHead down.

I've just laid down an instrumental version of all The Rainbow Children tracks on kazoo.

It's awesome, if I say so myself.

As soon as I can get my parrot, Crackers, to memorize all the lyrics, I'll lay down the vocal tracks, do a mix, and send ya'll an MP3!

WOW Guys. I use to sing Lead in a Cover band that did almost all of those songs on Mindbells list. I play a little keys, drums and just picked up a guitar and Bass. Not great at any instrument, but can sing the hell out of P songs. I program music on my Korg Triton. But can sing the hell out of any P songs.

I'm in Denver Colorado.

Where you guys at?

Peace

Guitar:

these are the ones I've bothered to figure out, but mind you that guitar (as a solo instrument) is not the most condusive instrument to use as far as his body of work is concerned.

The Cross (of course could we write an easier song. lol)
When U Where Mine (every guitarists favorite Prince song)
Kiss (also goes without saying it's a basic blues progression A7, D7, Em7)
Purple Rain
4 the Tears In Ur Eyes
Pink Cashmire
7
Bob George (another 2 cord song)

It's hard to find solo guitar transcriptions and I really don't have the paitence to figure out all of those myself.
