What a blessing to have been alive when Prince was making music "One day I want to be judged not by the color of my skin but the quality of my work" - Prince
@@darrelmillirons7751 It may sound corny to some but I am color blind and never looked at him as part of some race. The question of what his race was, never even a thought for me. I have been praising his work since I was 9yrs old in 1983. The 1st Prince song I ever heard was Little Red Corvette on my record player I got for Xmas. I was thankful to my mom and dad for getting me one but there was a small issues...they didn't get me any records to play. I so badly wanted to use it so on Xmas night I snuck into my older sister's room and "borrowed" one of hers. I didn't see what I grabbed because it was dark, and I didn't care, I just wanted to play something. That something was the released single little red corvette. And the rest is history. I will 4ever love Prince. Liv4luv 0-(+>
As a guitarist, know exactly what you're talking about. The music in this piece pours through him and he through the music. Like Miles on the trumpet, he makes very single note count. Breathtaking.
I think you’re talking shit haha. Another person blinded by the myth that is prince - I’ve searched and searched for this magic he’s meant to produce on guitar and I can’t find any. He plays very well but he’s just a Hendrix copy.
I miss this genuine musician 😢. The world has lost one of his best and most passionate and probably underrated musician, all because he’s sexy and passionate on top of all the other qualities. Piano/Guitar/Singing/Dancing and foremost creating songs and rendering them was at perfection. Prince, we lost our creator and I feel a bit like an orphan. Love and peace to you wherever you are. Thanks for radiating in my life. ❤
@@flashpadxxx I hope you're just acting stupid and your Grammer isn't actually that poor. Now what is it you're referring to? His ability to play guitar? Because if you're disputing that, then you're simply uneducated on the subject. I listen to rock, prog and metal, the genres generally known to have the best guitar players. I've also played for 8 years, while my father has played for over 40, and played with bands such as LA Guns, Stryper, Mötley Crue and even played with Nuno Bettencourt. Prince was an amazing guitar player
Had no idea Prince was such a dope guitar player.he passed while I was in prison and I didn't give it a second thought at the time. I've been broadening my listening interests from rap these last couple months and I really regret not respecting his genius. His music was honestly deep. RIP to a musical gem. He deserved more tribute
I just found out today that he was a guitar GOD. Nobody ever told me lol, I just assumed he was another pop icon of the 80s, only now finding out this dude was an actual genius.
I love that he plays the solo different every time for his songs, it always was what he felt in the moment. He was my favorite musician and maybe always will be.
Here 1:14 He plays it like he just won one of the toughest fights the world has ever known and he can't help but cry out his true emotions out of the guitar, sounds so victorious, simply amazing
You heard the solo he did at the Rock & Roll HOF, with Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, Jeff Lynne, when they did "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"? I HIGHLY recommend it!
@@richyrich124 nope, Jimi Hendrix played a normal right handed guitar upside down and did crazy dive bombs like no other, Jimi Hendrix is the best to have walked this planet, Eric Clapton said he was gobsmacked and struggled to light a cigarette after seeing how good Jimi Hendrix was, now Eric’s better then prince so
Lightning captured in a bottle... It's one of the most powerful, beautiful things ever captured on film. We are lucky. Tears in my eyes listening to the sheer power and sincere emotion expressed in this performance.. Thankyou so much x
Only if we as a society would have celebrated and appreciated him , could have held him hugged him told him it will get better and listened not judged , I could believe in us as a people we have hope but we didn't and it wasn't fair to him, one of the most gifted human beings of all time and no doubt the most all around talented artist in my opinion EVER RIP TO THE LEGEND, THE GOAT, THE GIFT THAT WAS PRINCE 💔❤️🔥😔 💜💜LONG LIVE PRINCE 💜💜
Like Garcia, he never took the solo the same way twice. He played it completely from his heart each time. Like Garcia, there will never be another. Outstanding performance.
I'm convinced prince is the modern mozart, beethoven, etc. people hundreds of years from now will listen to his music and feel a sense of connection. he is the greatest to ever do it.
The run that starts at 0:38 til about 0:48 makes me cry every. single. time. I hear it. He is the reason I bought a Telecaster in the first place. #RIPrince
I love how everyone in the comments has a section in the song that they love best. It’s too hard to pick just one spot. So many good spots. And to think he is better than so many professionals when he plays “off handed” 🤯🤯🤯
This is one of the greatest videos on the entire internet... what an incredible man... I think I’ve watched this video like 20 times today haha! The world misses you Prince, wherever you may be.
If you ever need any proof as to why Prince was on that Jerry Garcia, Hendrix, Clapton, Randy Rhodes, or Stevie Ray Vaughn level this is all you truly need and even Clapton said it himself my dad got to see Prince on his purple rain tour back in the day you are so very lucky my friend!
I have watched pretty much all of the videos on youtube of Prince playing this solo and there isn't one that he isn't 100% committed to, and absolutely emotionally invested in. Imagine a piece of music so brilliant that you love playing it every night for 40 years and never get sick of it. Truly amazing.
Untouchable! He was the Best in what He did! A Genius with Passion Heart and Soul! He mastered the Guitar like no one else did ever before or after! He was the greatest Musician of all Time, so sad He isn't with us anymore! Let's Celebrate His Memory and His Legacy. And if anyone asks why Prince Was the Best Guitarist of all Time, just Show this Solo and all Questions are answered!
GOD only created one like him. I have had the pleasure to see him perform twice in my lifetime. You feel his music and it takes you to place and time that you can't explain. Sleep in Paradise Purple One....
So surreal he makes me purple cry so many time I watched it.. I never feel so much all in one solo guitar, it makes me think about Eddie Hazel and it something like that for me, but much more like lovin'Joy on fury. It's a'way too deep.. We feel all this dedication to Music and then as a lover being . ( my poor English can't express that , but music speaks 4 himself ) I really love Him
That telecaster ceases to be an instrument and becomes an extension of the man's soul. We miss you Prince.
Amen 🙏
He's Singing With His Guitar, He Feels The Chords, This Solo Is PERFECTION, This Breaks The Barrier Between The Musician And The Instrument, Ladies And Gentlemen This Is Called MUSIC
Wrong this is a masterpiece.
He went to another dimension emotionally to pull that off.
I didnt realise a guitar solo could bring me to tears..
me too man...me too
Just thinking the exact thing.
Same dammit 😫
He looks like HE is fighting back tears… 💜☔️💜
+1😢
He played lt like he invented the guitar..
Prince, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and Jimi Hendrix. The holy trinity of guitar masters.
ELECTRIC..GUITAR
You mean like Segovia? ;)
He was a God
They asked Eric Clapton once what it felt like being the greatest guitar player of all time. He said I don’t know , go ask Prince. 🙏🏽
There’s a reason this solo is Google’s most searched
What a blessing to have been alive when Prince was making music

He is definitely one of the greatest guitarist of all time.
This is the most powerful musical expression I've ever witnessed. He dies, visits God and returns to earth. omg
i cant believe youtube only lets us thumbs up this once. this deserves one thumbs-up for every human on earth.
Deffinately on of the best guitar solos ever
MyElephant55 wooord!
He was talking to the creator w that solo,you can feel the emotion. Beautiful.
I feel the same way...!!!! He’s pouring out LOVE. Pure LOVE... just amazing .....
Joey Doell
then he got murdered by the satanists
Truly spectacular musical genius
I was there, front row, you can see my left hand. I was fill with emotions like never before
This is what passion looks like. You can see he's reaching deep down in his soul for those notes. Only real musicians know what i'm talking about.
❤❤❤❤❤
Orrrrrr, he is just coked up... Bad ass nonetheless.
As a guitarist, know exactly what you're talking about. The music in this piece pours through him and he through the music. Like Miles on the trumpet, he makes very single note count. Breathtaking.

Kevin Evans not a single recognisable Hendrix move or lick... thumbs down for a poor comparison.
Nothing technical and flashy... just pure soul and emotion was poured into this solo that has an emotive effect. ❤
high technique
He was musically in a conversation with someone!!! Powerful
God.
Playing every note in the presence and for the glory of God himself.
That’s what that was.
Prince didn't die, he became music ❤
Rightfully put
Imagine being lucky enough to have seen this in person.
I was there, front row.

One of the most underrated guitar players of all time
G and he plays 20 instruments, that’s nuts
@@traze2963 yeah but being a multi tool isn't all that impressive. Prince could play the guitar as well as just about anybody

Welcome, friend. He was unequaled. So much feeling in everything he played.
I mean the really crazy part is the guitar is just ONE of the instruments he mastered
True though I’d argue it’s what he was best at, maybe he was just as good with piano and keyboards though.
@@justchilling704 Just try to find some of the Piano & Microphone bootlegs. In my opinion, he was even better with the piano.
@@Trucoto I try to find more his stuff on other instruments thanks for the reference.
I love that he plays the solo different every time for his songs, it always was what he felt in the moment. He was my favorite musician and maybe always will be.
There will never be another Prince another man who could Make love to a guitar like him. R.I.Paradise Prince Rogers Nelson
One of the best performances from the best musician that ever lived. GOD DAMN!
Here 1:14 He plays it like he just won one of the toughest fights the world has ever known and he can't help but cry out his true emotions out of the guitar, sounds so victorious, simply amazing
The emotion in his face the way he almost sings the chords of the guitar as he plays- almost as if his lips are playing the guitar 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
That just made me cry uncontrollably for some reason.
0:54 when he moves his hands down the neck for the slide, it’s so fast it doesn’t even register for me. It’s like his hand just teleports.
Greatest guitar solo ever.
You heard the solo he did at the Rock & Roll HOF, with Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, Jeff Lynne, when they did "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"? I HIGHLY recommend it!
Not quite comfortably numb pulse live.
@@mcbill7352 Kim jong un likes pink floyd?
@@mcbill7352 true
One of the best guitar players to ever play that instrument
I'm not so sure he was just a musician but a human instrument!!!
This man is on the same level as Hendrix and its brutal how underated he is.
He's not Hendrix. Nowhere near.
@@robeson1231 I disagree
@@robeson1231 you're right, he could be better
@@robeson1231 he’s up there with him, he’s probably on par with him

This solo makes the hairs stand up on my neck every time I hear it 😢
MINE TOO, CHILLS FROM ENDS OF MY HAIR TO THE ENDS OF MY TOENAILS!!!! i want it played at my memorial.💜💜💜
Right in the soul,I wish prince was still making music such a burn bright talent
Virtuoso doesn't even begin to describe this man. 🔥🔥🔥 WHEW!!!
My god, the talent this man had!
His scream at the very beginning gives me life.
The electric guitar was invented for a solo like this to be played.
2023 and I still miss Prince every day.
Lightning captured in a bottle... It's one of the most powerful, beautiful things ever captured on film. We are lucky. Tears in my eyes listening to the sheer power and sincere emotion expressed in this performance.. Thankyou so much x
I can listen this song all day
Prince will remain in our hearts forever
1:13 my favorite part
Fantastic but the build up from 0:54 is just as good! Makes it even better

purple rain pertains to the end of the world and being with the one you love and letting your faith/god guide you through the purple rain."
Never get bored to see this after thousands times😢😢😢😅😅😅😅😊❤❤❤❤
Only a fool would hate on a God pure greatness 💯
Chills... this guy fucking loved music. Beautiful, RIP my brother
Only if we as a society would have celebrated and appreciated him , could have held him hugged him told him it will get better and listened not judged , I could believe in us as a people we have hope but we didn't and it wasn't fair to him, one of the most gifted human beings of all time and no doubt the most all around talented artist in my opinion EVER
RIP TO THE LEGEND, THE GOAT, THE GIFT THAT WAS PRINCE 💔❤️🔥😔
💜💜LONG LIVE PRINCE 💜💜
I lost a friend 4 years ago today. #PRINCE4EVER
Wtf this just made me so happy
This gave me chills . Pulled a couple of tears from my eyes too . This is more than just some song to me . This is part of my history .
Like Garcia, he never took the solo the same way twice. He played it completely from his heart each time. Like Garcia, there will never be another. Outstanding performance.
His guitar skills are insane....that phrasing is phenomenal....
The most beautiful solo for this song.
If it makes his fans weep imagine being the creator of this masterpiece. What a beautiful tribute to himself and us.
Prince was the messenger. God used his guitar to talk to us.
Would shorten my life with 15 years if I could attend this concert in a parallel universe!
I was there, that night, in this World, in Milano
Brings tears to my 👀
Wow!!! 1:10 something else takes him over....if you play you, know the feeling! Pure magic Prince!
The moment he kept the guitar done...woww ..wat a legend..lucky were the ones who saw him in person
I saw this video for the first time yesterday and since then I have seen it 100 times..
The reason why I bought a fender telecaster 😍
@C Portugal in the shape of the fender telecaster, I can't afford that boutique expensive things XD
CC P Unless you buy the Harley Benton Knockoff that’s a Knockoff of a Knockoff of a Telecaster 😏
The best solo of all time
I'm convinced prince is the modern mozart, beethoven, etc.
people hundreds of years from now will listen to his music and feel a sense of connection. he is the greatest to ever do it.
czcams.com/video/7IUG2q8Xd-A/video.html
I might have reached prince's level...
Greatest Guitar Player since Jimi.........He was Music...look at his face...it comes from.......?
Thanks
That is soul crushingly good
He became the song, he became the guitar - it doesn't get any better than that!

Off handed? He was right handed.

That expression on his face is because the sound of the instrument he is playing yes yes yes the one and only
The BADDEST of ALL BADASSES!👍👍👍

This solo was everything! I'll never forget how it felt to watch him live in concert. Coming across this video was the best surprise. Thank you!
He was POSSESSED!!!
Those faces tho!!!
Prince played 27 instruments. A phenomenal musician.
Should be top 5 in every guitar top solo of all time A G.O.A.T gone too soon

The man was a mix of Little Richard , James Brown, Marvin Gaye, and Jimi Hendrix !
An absolute genius!😥
Couldn't have said it any better, you can add Stevie Wonder too.
And the Hodgetwins
Eepaaa....Steve vai y Satriani!
A good musician makes you want to pick up an instrument. A great musician makes you want to put it back down.
Prince was indeed the greatest.
Ladies and Gentlemen ---- PRINCE & the Revolution !
1:41 What a fucking magical moment. Prince is one of those one in a million musicians worth every penny of the price ticket
Now I need to hear jimmy Hendrix because Just had me in tears that’s some of the best I’ve ever heard.
Goes right into the deep core of my heart hearing this, RIP PRINCE!
He is about to cry!! This is the greatest solo that I have seen. I’m in tears.
Underrated guitar player
Not a huge Prince fan, he put it all into that solo, the way it should be. Gotta say I'm impressed.
GOD only created one like him. I have had the pleasure to see him perform twice in my lifetime. You feel his music and it takes you to place and time that you can't explain. Sleep in Paradise Purple One....
No homo but damn he looked good in that outfit..
No homo but he looked good in everything
Broo?🤣
It's literally just factual at that point
Geeaaaaghhjj
STOLE IT FROM VANITY
The best showmanship on guitar that I’ve ever seen. And yes, better than Jimi on showmanship. Nobody plays a cleaner solo than Prince.
So surreal he makes me purple cry so many time I watched it..
I never feel so much all in one solo guitar, it makes me think about Eddie Hazel and it something like that for me, but much more like lovin'Joy on fury.
It's a'way too deep..
We feel all this dedication to Music and then as a lover being .
( my poor English can't express that , but music speaks 4 himself )
I really love Him
I guess Michael was a complete artist, but Prince takes your heart.
He is not on earth when he plays. Look in his eyes and face. He is a true gift from
Above and went home to peace.
I love how he plays with so much passion , rip Prince 🫶🏾💜
