There's no way you can listen to any of his music and not know this.

neg train for never knowing this.
Prince the god.

don't judge me too harshly. I'm the child of immigrants and an immigrant myself. Michael Jackson was all the American music I knew until I discovered hip hop in my teens. I got some catching up to do tho clearly

Pitbull though

Missawhirlwhyyy

 

[John Mayer]

That's impressive to non-guitar players I guess

 

[O.T.I.S.]

I've heard Prince da gawd taught himself how to play multiple instruments... Piano, guitar, drums, etc..

But the fact that you just now realize how nasty Prince is on the guitar is more surprising than anything

Damn near GOAT status on them strings, I'm 26 cd's deep from him, started collecting from Controversy. His "Could Never Take The Place" solo on Sign O The Times, or the induction performance: My Guitar Gently Weeps.


NPG was the best band he had, Sexy MF track kills it.

 

[Doobie Doo]

WTF did OP expect, son been playing the guitar for atleast 45 years. You better know how to do some impressive shyt on it.

 

[The Mad Titan]

I thought that is what prince was known for...

 

[sun raw]

that video is still so great, he throws that guitar up at the end and it doesn't come back down

 

[Mr.Big Meat McGee]

No duh. Jimi Hendrix was a really big influence on him.

Musical genius. There's not many of them. Elite category.

"Prince started playing piano at age seven, guitar at 13, and drums at 14, all self-taught."

"No other pop star could match the range of his talents, which included not just singing and dancing but also composing, producing, and playing many, many instruments. In fact, Prince played nearly all the instruments on his first five albums, and has produced himself since signing with Warner Bros. at age 21."

Well to be fair, as a Prince fan for longer than most posters have been alive, fact of the matter his merits as a guitar player have been only discussed at depth relatively recently. I mean dude was always great but that performance on the RRHOF opened a lot of non-fans eyes and made even a lot of fans go back into the catalog. But I'm glad the OP found out and is checking out his music. But if you can save up the money, see him live because he really goes off.
