Did Prince even play the When Doves Cry solo or was it Wendy? 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 6, 6... | |

The Computer Blue guitar solo is my favorite. Everytime I hear the song I keep rewinding it to the first of the solo and keep listening to it over and over again. Lol.
I also love the Purple Rain solo of course. It's a classic Prince solo. Little Red Corvette solo was good too. | |

From the album versions...´When doves cry´, ´Shh´, ´I could never take the place´, ´I hate U´, ´I will´ (very underrated solo IMO), ´The question of U´, ´Live 4 love´ and ´Joy in repetition´.If it´s Prince soloing on ´Get some solo´ (and not Levi) this is one of my faves too |

"Little Red Corvette solo was good too."
- This solo is actually performed by Dez, although lots of people thought that P wrote it. |

Make no mistake, EVERYTHING you hear on that song instrumentally was done by Prince. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

I like the weird sounding ones he does in "The War" and "The Rainbow Children"(the song) Actually, there's kind of like, more than one guitar solo in the song The Rainbow Children, huh? But, I like it when he plays that "muthatrukin bass" too! "this is where the PURPLE PARTY PEOPLE be" | |

I'm not so keen on the guitar solos, but these are the ones that come to mind:
I'm Yours The Question of U Purple Rain Fascination The Ride Purple House (Rave 2000) Computer Blue Let's Go Crazy Bambi Habibi   I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

the best imho ... Positivity. Through layering mixed in the song it is hard to follow. Yet the song is completely built up around the fierce guitar work. |

it's without a doubt that "Just My Imagination" from Small Club is probably his finest moment on guitar. it's really what a guitar solo is all about. Slow build up and serious climax. and it's all live and improvised. no overdubs or nuttin' like that. a truly inspired solo. 
oh yeah, BTW: On "Let's Go Crazy", the number 1 hit, there's about 15 seconds of just bare ripping guitar at the end of that song. It's so overlooked. all of the guitar mags never mention it. and i don't get it. | |
