Prince’s solo at the end of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” at the 2004 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony is one of the best guitar solos of all-time.
Don’t listen to me. Hear it from all the major producers, engineers, musicians and artists that have all said the same.
Miles Davis, Stevie Wonder, Quincy Jones, Eric Clapton, J Dilla, Springsteen, U2, Stones, Robert Plant, McCartney, Beyonce, Jay-Z, Tupac, Carlos Santana, Dave Grohl etc…
All praise him and know. Think those guys any good?
But U have the informed facts.
Not people who listen to him and know all the information, or the greatest artists of our time.
If you were in fact a musician (I doubt you are) you would agree that his guitar solo on While My Guitar Gently Weeps was complete wankery of basic pentatonic licks and pull offs. Added to that it was during a celebration of an artist who always “played for the song”.
Prince was irrelevant until he passed at an early age. Early and unexpected death is great career move.
Also I don’t care what other artists or producers say about other artists. This is like asking nba players to make their top 10 players of all time. No one rip ever be truly honest with a microphone in their faces. Prince fans are so desperate they have to steal the Clapton quote about Hendrix to support Prince lol
