Damn what a talent.

I don’t think he gets enough credit as a guitarist.

He was the most talented POPULAR musician of all time, and it isn't even close.

Yes, that is subjective to a degree, but I believe most of the people that disagree with that were put off by his eccentricity.

It pleases me that we saw the man in concert before he died.

He was virtuoso on a number of instruments. He was also a very good drummer and pianist....but guitar was where he really shined. He wasn't EVH , but he could probably hold his own.

My Guitar Gently Weeps

Prince starts giving lessons at 3:25.
Love how he casually tosses his guitar and walks off stage at the end.

My favorite Prince moment by far.

I have no idea if the lore around that performance is true, but I love the story, so I'm going with it:

Rolling Stone had just released their ranking of the top guitar players of all time and Prince was snubbed. Not ranked. He was not scheduled to perform with the ensemble playing MGGW and was convinced by Dhani Harrison to join.

The performance became a statement and Prince showed the press who the hell he was with an axe in his hands.

Like I said, could be totally bullshite, but it makes sense of his facial expressions throughout...along with the guitar-toss walkoff.

Not alot of know about his song writing capabilities. And other artist that he wrote for. Supposedly he has a vault of written music that hasn’t been touched yet. I had the pleasure of seeing him in concert as well. The Controversy tour

Great talent and the super bowl performance in the rain was the peak for that event.

Look at Todd Rundgren's body of work and what he did. He deserves a mention. I'm not just talking about the music he made. He was a lot more that just that.

Prince is on every top 10 musician/artist list of all time. He was a beast and a freak entertainer.
