I figured out how to play the intro to when doves cry pretty well, but I still have trouble with the solo to Computer Blue. Those are the only two solos I ever wanted to play and they're both quite technical.

I think that if a musician looks at Prince's music on paper (sheet music) it can look deceptively easy. The hard part is making the music actually sound the way Prince makes it sound. Being able to hit all the right notes (which can be hard enough) is not the same as playing the notes with the same intensity and emotion as Prince. On paper, I would imagine that a song like "When Doves Cry" is very repetative and looks very easy. But it's the synergy of all the parts that makes it so unique.
