Sure, a great musician overall but that's cringey, parroted nonsense. So parroted that he actually falls into "overrated" BECAUSE of it. You messed up on the mess up of the number of instruments, it's "27". LOL I've seen prince play drums and he didn't do anything a million others can do. Countless others also play the guitar as well and better. Should we even talk about his very average, actually below average singing ability?

The first time I saw Prince play the guitar was when he played a solo on “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” at the tribute to George Harrison when a lot of great musicians played. He absolutely stole the show with one solo. I knew he was a serious musician. Never knew he was so good on guitar. RIP.

[@hirokomlm131]

According to his childhood bandmates, he was playing like this at 13.

[@Hughesed]

Yep saw that guitar solo in that video brilliant ⭐️🎸⭐️

[@BobTaile]

AGREED. Winwood, Clapton, Petty, all copied the HARRISON / Clapton original, note for note and rehearsed the day / evening before. PRINCE didn't turn up until just before the show - no rehearsal - ignored the exact copy and ripped into it. DHANI Harrison loved Prince's wild version. At the end Prince threw his guitar high in the air and walked off without it. I think it's still up there 🎸- with him! And let's not forget the amazing, fabulous, unique English percussionist RAY COOPER giving it his all as always! 🥁
