Is Prince considered one of the greatest guitarist of all time?

[@dalmac5978]

In my opinion, yes.

[@asdfqwer1234zxcv]

Jimmy Page, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Frank Zappa, Johnny Winter, nearly every blues guitarist are all probably better. Price is finitely underrated, just watch his video "concert" Sign O' the Times, I would compare that to Led Zeppelin's The Song Remains The Same

[@marksteverman1622]

He is great. Maybe under rated. There are better IMO.

[@robycip9715]

YES! YES! YES! he plays 21 instruments and is a master of 19 of them according to documentary.......Supernatural talent, RIP PRINCE greatly missed! oh and by they way he did not rehearse this was on the fly they did not know what he was going to do.

[@dalmac5978]

Hendrix, Page, Vaughn, Winter were innovators who built on the early American blues artists, and created the genre we now loosely call “blues rock”. All are considered guitar gods. They created much of what others did later. Prince was of the next generation, and was one of the greatest musicians of my lifetime. This much is indisputable. His music didn’t fit the “guitar god” mode of the others, and I feel that’s possibly why he didn’t get the recognition. IMO he’s up there with those other guys, and had complete mastery if his instrument. Just my opinion, though.

[@ceciliabrown3301]

Let's be honest, Prince took this song to another stratosphere with his solo. RIP The Purple One 💜💔

[@lumiere7216]

Bruh. Prince put some stank on that solo. He showed his whole ass, threw the guitar, and strutted off the stage like “I told y’all I was NOT to be fucked with.” 🤣🤣

Dani Harrison was a huge Prince fan. When Dani heard that his father abdvPrince were both to be inducted unto the Rock Hall of Fame on the sane night, Dani asked if Prince would join the already tremendous line up and play the guitar solo. Prince did not disappoint. He was such a great performer his guitar playing was often underestimated.

[@ivankarim8678]

Legend says that the guitar gave birth to 2 little guitars after 9 months.

[@ibanezman04]

So George Harrison's son Dhani personally asked Prince to perform in this tribute to his dad at the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. On the day of the performance Prince was late to the award ceremony. He hadn't rehearsed with the band. And the band actually went on stage without him. Prince literally showed up at the last minute and only just followed them on stage on the nick of time. Dhani Harrison however didn't even realise that Prince had made it. He only notices Prince is actually on stage with them halfway through the song at 2:03, when Dhani finally turns left and sees Prince. At 2:16 they catch eyes and smile. And at 3:35, Dhani Looks at Prince, nods at him to say "Go on, go for it!". Then Prince begins an absolute face melter which has since gone down as one of the best guitar solos in history.

[@Stefnmaddy]

This info made the video so much more for me. Thank you!!!

[@DDD11239]

Why do you all keep spreading false information, in EVERY reaction video of this performance?

[@bostonwhofan]

I remember when Prince performed at the Super Bowl and the guys on sports talk radio stations here in Boston were blown away by Prince's guitar performance. They thought Prince sang pop songs. They had no idea Prince is one of the GOAT's of all time on the guitar. How cool would it have been if Prince had been one of the Traveling Wilbury's?

[@phunkidruma]

ummm yeh but NO!

[@lurkerinthetube]

And, in the Super Bowl, he played Purple Rain --- outside! -- in *POURING RAIN* !! -- with an *ELECTRIC GUITAR* !!! (Did I mention the rain storm...?) 😳😱🤯

[@billreinhold1955]

If you're gonna play that game, I can imagine him performing in a hard rock band. More in line with Jimi Hendrix, or Led Zeppelin. But he had his own vision.

[@jonathanhurley4055]

Don't forget Prince played in a fucking thunderstorm of epic proportions....on a slick surface. It WAS and IS the BEST Stupid Bowl preformance of all time and ...unless something odd happens ....will NEVER EVER be topped.

[@highjim7778]

Prince defo should've been part of a big band, he on his own went too weird and didn't capitalize on his talents enough imo. Shows here when he is working WITH other legends he can shine. Total legend and the most underrated guitarist of all time

[@jimmyzee7040]

This performance only proves that Prince was and is one of the greatest performers of our generation. Simply a legend !

[@woodscrafter1971]

Prince is a guitar god. RIP Tom and Prince. What a great performance, one of my favorites. It's a dark day when those talents leave us, but it makes us appreciate them even more. Thanks for watching this one!!

[@descendantoffools9767]

Hard to believe they're both gone

[@bigsteve9279]

MANY thought to be dead are ALIVE! Many thought to be alive are DEAD!

[@lmm9772]

George, Tom, and Prince are all together now and those heavenly guitars are definitely jammin'. I've read that Tom said they didn't rehearse this with Prince. Prince talked to Tom, and just said, I'll do some guitar work, or words to that effect. And if you notice, as they play, Prince is constantly looking at Tom, getting a feel for where the song is going, putting in the licks where they fit, then as he sees Tom is wrapping it up, Prince gives it that huge finish. Prince shines here, but he's also part of the team, taking a great song and tribute, and making it absolutely unforgettable.

[@fridaylong2812]

This whole thing was in honor of George Harrison, who had passed from cancer. He wrote and performed this song before he died.

[@fridaylong2812]

The young man with the black hair and dark shirt, to the left of Tom Petty, is George Harrison's son.

Yeah, Rolling Stone magazine f'd up and left him off their list (they later said he was supposed to be on it but the name got lost in the shuffle) of the Top 100 Guitarists. Rolling Stone editor was in the crowd. Prince made it his mission to let them know they goofed. Something the Prince friends would have already known (New Power people are called friends instead of fans because fan is short for fanatic).

[@quarterpast8films616]

It was truly amazing to see your wife’s reaction to this. 19 years later, Prince fans like myself are still in absolute awe at this unbelievable performance. It is truly one of the greatest moments in rock history…period. I once heard that Prince had never heard the song until he was sent the DAT to learn it. It was actually Prince’s idea to perform last; the producers actually wanted him to go first, I believe, but because he’s PRINCE, of course he knew exactly what he wanted to achieve by giving the last solo. Did you notice that the color scheme of his outfit perfectly matched the backdrop of the stage? I’m quite sure that was no accident…he knew exactly what he was doing. I sat and listened to a panel of some of his engineers at Paisley Park a few years ago and his guitar engineer discussed this performance. He said Prince tossed him the guitar and told him to give it to Oprah as a gift. What else can be said? We will never ever see the likes of Prince again in our lifetime.

Jeff and George Harrison were best friends for the last 15 years of George's life. Jeff resurrected George's career by producing and co-writing a hit album for him in the late '80s--which included a song you reacted to, "Got My Mind Set On You"--and they immediately became best mates (to use a British word). ps~Please react to more ELO! :)

I sometimes think the total package of Prince overshadowed the brilliant components of Prince. His voice, his songwriting, his dancing, his fashion, his ability to find and nurture talent, his ability as a producer, and, yes, his instrumental skills, particularly with the guitar. Any of those taken alone would be enough to nurture a career. With him, they sometimes end up subsumed by the totality of the supernova known as Prince.

Tom Petty was so proud to be part of the "family" that was started by George Harrison (of The Beatles) and Jeff Lynne (of the Electric Light Orchestra (ELO)). The family became The Traveling Wilburys. On stage singing was Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne, and the first amazing guitarist was Steve Winwood (a 70's and 80's legend) and, of course Dhani Harrison (George's son) on acoustic guitar.

[@asdfqwer1234zxcv]

I'm pretty that was Marc Mann playing the other lead guitar, Winwood usually plays keyboards.

[@montalbans]

Steve Winwood sometimes plays guitar, but he is playing organ on this cut. And let's not forget "Fifth Beatle" Billy Preston on piano, Steve Ferrone (originally from the Average White Band) on drums, and Jim Capaldi (of Traffic) on percussion. That's a band of rock legends right there, and Prince takes his rightful place among them.

[@asdfqwer1234zxcv]

@montalbans I think I remember seeing Winwood play sax, guitar, keyboard and sing in 1 song

Love this song, and this performance, my favorite is also seeing George Harrison's playing with the guys. He's definitely his fathers son.❤❤❤

Dhani Harrison would be the one playing with the guys, George Harrison's son.

Prince is the ish on multiple levels. His own discography is enormous with reportedly thousands of songs in his library that were never released. He also wrote music for dozens of other successful artists - many of the female pop musicians of the 80's built their careers performing Prince songs. The man could obviously shred on a guitar. Finally he played an amazing game of hoops despite a height disadvantage.
