as a prince fan of 47 years i"m in awe of how cool this is

I’ve played guitar for over 30 years and can tell you that Prince is cream of the crop on guitar. He is, however, not known for it because of his fabulous voice and stage presence. He’s a monster.

Prince is one of the most effortless players I have ever seen.  His movement around the guitar is so fluid, like a tai chi master.

Prince was just a musical genius. No more needs to be said.

So many people have no idea Prince was a guitar virtuoso. Plus, he has recorded entire albums where he plays ALL the instruments. He's a crazy bass player BTW.

Princes, YouTube channel has recently been posting full-length concerts from the past, and they are all absolutely amazing. I can’t even stand how good they are, I have to pause it sometimes.

Saw him solo in 1988 on guitar with his left hand while at the same time ….doing a solo on piano with his right hand.  AT THE SAME TIME!

“Prince the only guy that could steal your girl and her wardrobe”

In my opinion Prince is the Greatest Musician to walk the Earth. He could do Everything, virtually a one man band. The world is a worse place without him. Rest in Peace Prince, your Legacy will live on. 💜🐐💜🐐💜🐐💜

I believe people underrate Prince as a guitarist because he was so good at everything. It gets lost in the mix. Songwriting, singing, charisma, stage presence, production chops... He had it all. Same as how people forget Hendrix was also a great songwriter and lyricist, or how great and powerful a singer SRV was.

Maybe the most underrated guitar player ever? He's a monster on guitar, but hardly ever recognized for it.

I'm a Minneapolis old head who was lucky enough to follow Prince from is second concert on. My parents wouldn't let me go to North Minneapolis late to see his first show but I tried my best to see everyone after that. Let me tell you that the best of times is when he would just lose himself for an hour just jamming on the guitar or piano! It was amazing and something special to see! What's also great is that he left us with so much that now seven years after he's passed I still see and hear new stuff all the time! They said he has enough in the vault for 100 years....

Prince literally did not have enough ways through which to express his talent and genius. He wrote all of his music, did all of his own choreography-and that of Revolution, played every instrument on every track, oh, and designed his own clothes and costumes, developed new artist/label contractual paradigms, all while initiating an explosive revolution in music.

He’s not just playing, he’s performing and making it effortless.

He was a sensitive artist, musician, dancer intertwining male and female forces. Brilliant. Diverse.

He is not even trying....natural....very underated

He was underrated as a guitarist by people who had not seen him perform live.

Bro, it's ok to let Prince be one of your guitar gods. We now get to see Prince's guitar playing on YouTube now that he's gone. He was badass. Glad you're into Prince now, better late then never.

Prince probably the most versatile guitarist considering all the genres he does

I think Prince was such a total showman, band leader, composer, and cagey businessman that his guitar work got lost in the shadows for most reporters and critics.
