    A 9? Out of what? 9? The way he plays through the key changes his note selection (which is all improve) his awareness of where they are in the song and the fact that he didn’t even rehearse with these guys. You can’t even grade that shit. It’s one of the purest most sincere performances anyone will ever witness.

    Dude doesn't even know what tom petty looks like so his opinion doesn't really mean anything. And he also compared the zone Prince was in to a zone that he's been in. So I wouldn't worry about any type of rating this dude gives on anything. Now I can't be upset about a 9 out of 10. Prince has plenty of solos on this level and higher on his own live shows and songs.

    Many, many times Prince threw his guitar into the crowd when he played at the end of his concerts. If you watch his concert videos, you see he does it over and over. At this performance his guitar tech (and himself a legend) Takumi Suetsugu caught the guitar off-camera. Suetsugu apparently never dropped one of Prince's guitars. He caught them all.

Prince was such an amazing performer that i always felt it made him probably the best underated musician EVER. Prince could come out on stage with legends at a Hall of Fame concert.. Play 1 song, not sing 1 lyric, not perform 1 dance, play his lead over everyone then throw his fuckin guitar in the crowd and just leave them bum hall of famers standing holding there guitars in AWE. All them others were Rock n roll Hall of Famers Prince was a GOD of Rock n Roll!

    @JoanRuth Why is it a big deal that Dhani liked it? He's not a musican. Just plays a few chords on acoustic like half the world. And his father didn't even play this solo with the Beatles. I guess I'm in the minority. I don't think this was the stupendous guitar solo that so many do. Or that Prince was as great a guitar player as his fan boys and girls feel. Guys not nearly as famous like Rick Derringer are light years beyond Prince as a guitarist. His own drummer and girl friend Sheila E was the best musican in his group including him. She like her dad is a fantastic percussionist. I do think he invented his own personal style of music I call minimalistic funk. And he did have the look at me star power confedence. He sure was a unique and intersting person that passed way too soon. I think thats his real legacy.

    Exactly how I describe a good player and a musical talent. Thee music or instrument itself become an extension of the body. It’s as instinctual and known to you like it’s a part of your self, you need not think of how to play, you play without needing to be completely somewhere else mentally. It’s the prediction of every single note prior to not ever once knowing what is to come next as you freestyle the next part, it has been shown in brain imaging scans there is a huge amount of brain differences shown in a player just playing a known or reading the music and playing music perfectly, and that of someone who plays then slips into that zone of total free styling, brain areas light up in imagery, vision and fantasy, whilst the frontal lobe controlling your ability to actively choose or make a decision as well as you can shuts off. Your ability to choose to play by sheer active conscious playing turns off, leaving you without a real awareness of a conscious decision to make the music of such amazing freestyle like this, and let’s the brain literally transcend into a different place. If you can play any music like this, you may know this place or zone, even if you just love a song and are singing badly but you are lost in it, that zone has you connected to music in ways that are not just consciously doing a thing and hearing a note and motor skill direction. But the place for people like this is simply, musical genius. prodigy of his craft. Rare such a person can be found even amongst the top tier level players who have just grinded their way to where their ability peaks but these people have a natural ability to just be above that without any more trying, it’s an instinct you have or have not got, and wow did Prince have it in abundance.

    According to the article about the behind the scenes to this all-star performance, Prince did show up to rehearse with the Traveling Willburys for this tribute; however, due to a misunderstanding or lack of communication with Marc Mann, the other soloist, Prince did not get a chance to rehearse his epic solo with the group. They literally did not know what he was going to do until they went live the night of the performance. Just incredible musicianship from everyone on that stage in pulling that all together and Tom Petty did a stellar job as band leader.

    giggles..."I hate to be [that girl]". His playing was quite exceptional for any Pop music genre, but if you give him a 10 for this performance than you would need to change your "scale of awesome" to include an 11 or 12 , because there have been an extreme number of exhibitions showing "more awesome" guitar playing even for Rock music. What the much larger majority of the world recognizes to be a "Master Guitarist" (10 skill level) ist a very short list of about 100 people in every music genre, especially the many different Classical Guitar Compositions produced from so many of the currently existing 195 countries. Prince Rogers Nelson ist not on that list. :-) Giving him a 9 score for this performance und guitar playing ist a "fair" assessment. Honestly, I would have given him an 8.75 score simply because his performance was not quite awesome as the many others that exist who should get a 9 score, und only a few of the current Pop music guitarists exhibit the musical skill to be recognized as Master Guitarists (10s). Have a fun day. :-) Auf Wiedersehen aus Wiesbaden

    The only person in my head who was as multi talented musically as prince was Zappa. They didn't make remotely the same kind of music but they were both multi (and I mean over 20) instrumentalists who were also amazing composers. Prince obviously had a better voice but they both have massive vaults of unreleased work, and were true workaholics.

    Fun fact: Prince didn't know the song when he agreed to play in the tribute, and rehearsed it only once with the others. And that rehearsal was a failure. Prince was supposed to do both solo's with the other guitar player, but both times during the rehearsal, he backed away to the background and let the other do the solo. At the end he suggested that he would do the second solo and the other the first. When Tom asked him to join the next rehearsal, Prince said Don't worry, but didn't show up at the following rehearsals. So the band was worried about how his performance would turn out. And Prince delivered beyond everyone's expectations.

    Should call it fun fiction. Seems to be a trend the last decade (at least since I've noticed) how people get sold with the "wasn't even trying" bullshit. I recall a magazine article talking about Kings of Leon saying they before they cut their first record they had only played their instruments for a few months... It's all bullshit. You can tell here that Prince knew every note of the original lead and hit those notes when and how he wanted to. This was well practiced. One has no need to rehearse with a band if you know the band is going to be playing the same progression for a certain amount of time. All he needed to know was the scale, the original lead, and how much time to fill.

    The guitar is labeled as a Honner, but as noted, they make harmonicas, not guitars. Honner did what many companies do, they approached a guitar company to make a version of a guitar with their name on it to sell. They went to HS Anderson who already made the "Mad Cat" - that is one tell as to where the guitar was made. From what I read, there were only 2 companies HS Anderson labeled guitars for, Honner and Harley Benton. So, a Honner labeled Mad Cat in the '70s, made it to a pawn shop and legend has it that Prince picked it up for $30. HS Anderson still makes a small run of these guitars (apparently less than 10) every once in a while not each year. I believe the company has changed hands since the '70s, but they are still being made on the same production floor as Prince's original guitar. Another tell on a lot of knock off guitars you find is that they have a different color "leopard print" pick guard. The cellulose HS Anderson uses looks black and brown like Prince's, not the black and yellow you see on knock offs, because they have the original source at their disposal. On a down note, the HS Anderson headstock had to change (they added a small cut in) after Fender sued them - and other other companies, for duplicating Teles and Strats. That to me is minor considering they use all the other specs of the original. In 2021 I picked up mine for a little less than $1,200 + shipping. I saw it come up on Reverb, bit the bullet and bought it as soon as I saw it after having searched for one over the decades. I effing love the guitar! ❤

    While My Guitar Gently Weeps was always a beautiful song. But until Prince played it, I never heard a guitar actually weeping to the song. The words were always poetic & vivid in description but when Prince played it on a guitar (which can't utter a single word) it sang the words & meaning of the song better than anyone who's ever sang it before. And had Prince sang it, he would've rewritten history & we'd think it was his song; like how he sung Bob Dylan's "All Along The Watchtower " better than Bob ever sung it, ever. If I wasn't a fan of Mr. Dylan; I would have thought Prince wrote that like everyone else I knew did. Prince was a once in a lifetime treasure. All hail the Purple One; the Prince Nelson Rogers

    I will answer your question with the following comparative analogy: 1) GM Chevy Corvette has always been their high performance flagship model- hands down. 2) In 2003, Cadillac division launched a new high performance 2 seater known as the XLR. Featured with a supercharged Platinum XLR-V engine. 3) they did a test drive out in Warren Mi that same year at GM Proving Ground test track, head to head race between a Vette and that XLR. 4) The XLR completely dusted the Vette. Would GM advertise this when they marketed the XLR? No. Why? Because their commitment to the Corvette as their top high performance Chevy model was to remain unchallenged in the eyes of the consumer. For that is how they marketed it. Get where I am going with this? Prince was just this little black kid from some unheard of place in Mid America. It was more than a tall order for Jimmy Hendrix to reach the level of respectibility amongst his white peers in the forum of "guitar gods". And where did he first get his achieved recognition? It wasn't in the US, it was in Europe. A place notoriously more embracing of artists of different races and cultures in their respective art forms. Here in the US it took longer for them to warm up to Jimmy. But when they finally did, they put this black dude in the same mantle place as the rest of the "flagship" R&R "gods". Same with Prince. And I laughed when they reacted to his performance of the John Lennon's classic, when so many had a meltdown OH MY GOD WHERE DID THIS COME FROM??? Its been there in Prince's fingertips all along. He didnt rehearse for it. He didn't need too. Go back and listen to his catalog. It's been there all along. Most of us weren't paying attention.

    When he first came out, it was mentioned how in-the-pocket he was on guitar and bass. People were shocked that it was just one guy because he sounded like he had only played each instrument. The Time's first album is just him (credited as Jamie Star) and Morris. Morris, a bad a** drummer - as well as former drummer for Grand Central Station, Prince's band before he went solo. They tore it up. You can hear Prince's vocals on many of the Time's tracks, including the voice of the Maitre d' on the interlude, Chili Sauce. 🤭

    Pete Townsend once said that he smashed his guitar because it was unable to convey the music inside of him, as if it was somehow the shortcoming of the guitar. Nothing against Townshend, but Prince shows right here that the guitar is quite capable of conveying the music inside of the right player. "It's the wand that chooses the wizard, Harry." Pete doesn't smash his guitars anymore, by the way. 😉

It was supposedly Mr. Benson's personal guitar and the first GB12 made, this is all from stuff I read online the other day and I'm trying to research this all now. I've read that Prince took the guitar with him everywhere and played it during rehearsals, jams & often kept it on stage during concerts and that he played it so much that he wore out Mr. Benson's autograph.

    I think Eric would be fine with this... to be fair, if you follow the original story of the Beatles WMGGW recording, Eric's part was un-planned and un-rehearsed. It wasn't even his guitar. George Harrison picked him up in his car and asked him to come to the studio with him for support and when they got there George gave him his Les Paul and dropped the bomb... please do the solo. It was partly a two fingers to Paul and George Martin (producer) who had hand-cuffed George into doing backing guitar on the new album (he was the fekking Beatles lead guitarist and a song writer in his own right!). So Eric pulled out a solo on a new Beatles song, with a borrowed guitar, in one take... that has been held up to the spotlight for 50 years. That's the legendary 'Beatles' who Eric looked up to - no pressure then. Eric remains GOD. But Prince might well have been Jesus Christ. .
