"While My Guitar Gently Weeps"
rock hall 2004, this the best guitar solo ever n happened after the "Rolling Stone" published a list of the 100 best guitar players without including Prince. what a way to respond.** he pretty much says 'FK u!!' to [them]. **this has to be the greatest 'hold my beer' moment in music history!

2.21.11
DEC[L]AS w/ Dave, Patrick, Rambo / RAF #339
For those who don't have three extra hours to kill...guitar starts at 2:29:30
If you can ever find it, he did another timeless epic solo for the ages on Jimmy Fallon's show, the song called Nikki I believe
Prince's pop persona was so overwhelming that he was the most underrated rock guitarist ever
i'd start @ 2.21.11 to hear the backstory. it's pretty amazing
This is the original Rock & Roll Hall of Fame link from 2013 (134 million views) to the song. There is a remastered one from 2021 with 60 million views below as well.

Prince selfishly ruined a tribute to a great musician. I wasn't a fan of his before, and flat hated his musical guts afterwards. The solo itself was an immature re-creation of every bedroom guitarist learning to shred. A masturbatory cry for relevance from a short skinny asshat from Minnesota. He wasn't included in the top 100 because he just wasn't that good. His solo was what it sounds like when doves cry because cats are eating their necks. His attempt at popularity included being called The artist Formerly Known As Prince, later just The Artist because like every Nancy boy diva he needed a gimmick. His artistry in that solo was akin to a drunken redneck staggering into a party, puking on the coffee table and shouting about how he's the toughest guy in the place. His effeminate manner was off putting, and his original outfits were a rip off of Paul Revere and The Raiders from decades before. Most of his over-produced music was derivative and boring and the rest was even worse.
In my humble opinion, of course.
Not humble at all, this reads the opposite.
Prince was a legend because he wrote so much music for other people that are big hits. Google for a few minutes and understand the perspective of people who do respect him and why. He also spoke out against the satanic people and most likely being killed was his real cause of death.
He did the symbol because he was fucking with the record company. He did a lot to fuck with the companies and it is not all about what you think it is.
It is not about the notes he played, it is about how he could hit your soul with his music. I wish you could see it the way a lot of us do, and you are allowed to have your opinion, but the language you use is over the top derogatory. I pray that you open your eyes to a true legend, and have some respect for others.
You worship him if you want, but I think he sucked. If Nikki masturbating with a magazine 'hits your soul' good for you.
Oh, thanks for praying for me to have my eyes opened to his legend, and thanks for allowing me to have an opinion.
I don't believe in false idolatry, but thanks.
I'm not sure if that second part was sarcasm, but this is not a hill worth dying on dude
Then don't pray for me to have my eyes opened to the greatness of your legend.
You come off as an arrogant condescending putz, dude.
I'm going to download your comment and report this, because all you're doing is just being disrespectful.
Knock yourself out. There's a report link right under the comment. You don't have to download anything.
By the way, I posted my opinion and it had nothing to do with you. You are the one being disrespectful by claiming I need prayer because my eyes are closed, apparently because I see your legend a bit differently than you do. I'm sorry if you are offended, snowflake, but these things happen.
Now get out there and get to reportin' big fella.
Thanks for the unnecessary explanation. There's a difference between having an opinion and just being disrespectful and you crossed a line. Look at the down votes on your comments, that should tell you something.
You sound ridiculous bc who says “Nancy anymore?”
This whole comment wss unnecessary.
I do. Anything else?
Self taught also.
Most musicians can't read music. I'm self teaching myself guitar. When you're taught a system, you're constrained by it. Know the chords and patterns but besides that I don't see a need for learning to read music. The best ones just pick up and play.
As much as Prince killed it, this is the GOAT solo- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kWl-ZGMwkQ&list=RD7kWl-ZGMwkQ&start_radio=1
