- Welcome back to the channel! It's Jon Chorba from Really Easy Guitar Lessons, and today, we're diving deep into one of the most iconic guitar performances ever: Prince's electrifying solo on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" during the 2004 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony.
This performance, a tribute to the late, great George Harrison, showcased Prince in all his flamboyant, unparalleled musical genius. And let's face it, when that little purple maestro shows up with a guitar, it's not just about playing notes; it's about feeling, style, and reminding everyone that he's on a completely different level.
What's Inside this Tutorial:
🎸 Intro: Setting the scene and a glimpse into the legend of Prince's rehearsal antics.
🎵 Lick by Lick Guide: We dissect the monumental solo into 24 digestible licks. Each segment comes with an in-depth breakdown, detailing the musical mechanics, influences, and techniques Prince employed. From ghost bends to Dorian flavor, from open E licks to power chords, we cover it all.
🔥 Closing Thoughts: The importance of internalizing the music, transitioning from mechanical instruction to soulful expression, and making your guitar truly weep!
This tutorial is a labor of love, inspired by the indelible mark Prince left on every stage he graced. Whether you're looking to nail every nuance of the solo or just get a deeper appreciation for Prince's artistry, you're in the right place.

Life-long rock fan and this is the best live solo I've ever heard. Not the most difficult or fastest, but the emotion and showmanship are unmatched.
The version of the story I heard was that Eric Clapton was asked to participate but could not attend so he suggested Prince take his place.
Wise choice Eric
Every aspect of prince performance is pure joy to watch, from his playing to his facial expressions. He outplayes Clapton by a mile and basically gives the finger to the top 100 best guitarist list he was not included on. Just the coolest cat ever.
The lesson is great but it will take a long time to master this solo, it's time we'll spent because it has all these different techniques and licks in that it's fun and good to know. Thanks.
There was nobody like Prince. He was legit from a different dimension.
Any "greatest musician" list that doesn't have Prince in the Top 5 is illegitimate. A FARCE!!
Take it a chunk at a time. Even if you just get a little bit of it, it will improve your phrasing so much.
Don't worry about how long things take or not "mastering" the whole solo.
The value is in the process.
Loving the process > achieving a specific objective.
Best solo ever, can’t convince me otherwise. Yes other solos may be “harder” but I’m talking the overall solo, the feel, the setting, the sound. Nothing tops this solo
Comfortably numb pulse: wants to know your location
Thank you , your teaching is slow and perfect for me to understand and pick up on 🙏
Excellent video. Thank you for taking the time to record this tutorial!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic lesson, thanks so much for doing this!
Thank you soo much dude.. you rock ✨✨💫🔥🔥
They had a guy who was paid to hold him up...yet some how people think prince made it up on the spot ..no way...he worked every bit out...that is obvious to me..right the way to a guy holding him up .he knew the significance of this song...and his chance to shine...prince prob had a few different versions worked out.....he was more that kind of guy in my eyes
%100
Good job man! Good song!!! What about "38 Special - hold on loosely" class? God bless you!!!
Thanks man
Thank you
Do you post/sell tabs anywhere?
Not currently. Looking in to whats the best way to do that. I do have quite the collection of Guitar Pro 8 Tabs that are synced to the recording. Do you use Guitar Pro?
@@reallyeasyguitarlessons323 well … I have Guitar Pro, but I wouldn’t say that I’ve used it in any meaningful way at this point.
@@reallyeasyguitarlessons323 I am sure that bundling them up in a book and using Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) IS NOT the best way to do that, but it would be a relatively easy way to sell them because Amazon just handles all of the transactions and their free editor is fairly simple. If you can export a PDF, I’m pretty sure it can be bundled that way. Long range though, some sort of marketplace on your website is way better.
@@reallyeasyguitarlessons323I have guitar pro 8. How do I get yours tabs please ? I love your work and would like to improve using your help
What is the tuning?
