I'm 70 year old woman who listens to Prince everyday. His guitar playing hits my soul and makes me feel alive!!

[@jillnpg139]

Connie, you are not alone! Prince has been a part of me since 1980! I truly miss him (I use to travel every chance I got to his Paisley Park studios to see him!).. we are blessed to still have his music to help us get by this “crazy thing called life”!💜💜💜

[@connieevans6085]

@jillnpg139 well said!

[@druscillalee2183]

I'm slightly ahead of ya😊 and as for me PRINCE IS THE MUSIC FOR❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ParallelCooler]

I'm 76. Same. No other musician for me.

[@jeremyandrestevenson2313]

Good on you marm ... I just know I will be the same as I've listened to the man everyday since I was 12yrs and yes I must have missed a couple ect days in all this time but not many ... And I think every 70yrs should listen to the GOAT aleast one song per day .. O)+>

[@jeffreysimon7293]

I seen Prince play in Houston when I was in the 10th grade and it changed my LIFE!!! It was like I was at a rock n roll concert not a Prince concert!!! He played on top of the speakers for what seemed like an hour!! Just PURE guitar!! Just PURE ❤!!! Seen him again a few years later in the Summit(which is no longer) a music venue in H-town and he was still the same!!! Playing his ❤out!!! How many musicians self taught themselves to play 27 different instruments!?! He was l...is and will ALWAYS be ONE OF THE GREATEST!!!! Listening to his music saved my life on more than one occasion when I was going off the rails and tired of this rat race for something you can't take with you....MONEY!!! His music just made me feel better 🎉 abt loving life 😊😂!!! And he gave his to the music he played....ALWAYS! Got him tatted on me to NEVER FORGET HIS GREATNESS!!!! AMEN!!!

[@berkeley223]

this confirms what I always suspected, Prince was best guitarist alive

[@dynomitenash8970]

Yes he was!

[@scottbrandon6244]

And yet a stupid Rolling Stone Magazine poll ranked Prince at only number 41 out of the 100 best guitarists.

[@paulcheney3636]

A true original

[@kamilawilliams996]

Agreed

[@davidhall3747]

He was considered as good as Jimi Hendrix. Thats a great compliment.

[@Power_Fantastic]

Prince will forever be THE GOD OF MUSIC 🎶 🎵

[@RyanLBrown9396]

As far as guitar players go, I’d put prince up against anyone

[@thepromiseman7745]

Let's just admit while my guitar gently weeps .PRINCE JUST TOOK OVER THE SONG THE SOLO AND THE STAGE 🤣🤣

[@jaakers1]

And I love how he looked right at Tom Petty when he was leaning back on his security guard.. 🤣🤣

[@julianciahaconsulting8663]

as a huge beatles fan all my life i totally agree...Prince's performance was one of the greatest live performances ever.

[@jamesmoten7222]

Witness Prince Rogers Nelson listen 🎶 to him play

[@maddalenamottura]

The purple kid Surclassed Jimmy ness😹🇮🇹💜(+>

[@tarahill2193]

The man could play the A,B,Cs and turn it into a jam session 😊. God he's missed 😢. 🙏

[@alexkhan2000]

A once-in-forever talent. There never was and never will be another talent and musical force like Prince.

[@julianciahaconsulting8663]

i have to agree, i cant imagine a more talented musician than Prince.

[@LawrenceDorman]

There is none and won't be, sadly.

[@PhD_in_Undecided]

Why is Pink Floyd so underrated

[@juliawilly9151]

When everything in the universe aligns you get an artist named Prince.

[@stevej061069]

That man was a phenomenal guitarist and had star quality on a quite monumental level. We have to consider ourselves fortunate to be around to have witnessed such brilliance. RIP.

[@kerrayz]

His contribution to music is prolific, and he’s one one the best guitarists to ever grace this earth.

[@vanessagwynn5815]

Can't touch him

[@kevindel338]

I don't like hearing the distorted leads -- they seem like anyone could do them. I saw him play undistorted once, nobody else onstage with him -- unbelievable. The audience really quieted down. Best performance I've ever seen probably.

[@livwithnewinsight]

Absolutely 💯 💜💜💜

[@richardceballos216]

No one is better than Prince including Michael Jackson believe this man was complete all around

[@Bluenblack17]

Prince was the most complete artist. He could do it all. I don’t understand why people compared him with MJ. I think only because of the succes both had and the rivalry (that the media intended). Love them both, but Prince is just next level! 🙏

[@PhD_in_Undecided]

I think Pink Floyd could *really* do anything, but Prince was definitely one of the best stars of a more modern time.

[@TheMikesylv]

I am 54 and I am embarrassed to say I am just discovering a lot of his music I was there in the beginning in middle school and high school when it all started but because he was in that pop category I stopped listening to him. I think a lot of people did. Never would I have thought he could play anything he wanted to. My rediscovery started 2004 rock roll hall fame performance I literally was shocked

[@GlenWest-m4s]

Me also. Exactly. You have me by 9 yrs, but as a guitar 🎸 player, I am not sure how I missed all of this..

[@corneliusdedrick4718]

Even after all those years.......He still played like His Life dependent on it 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿

[@martinkeates9816]

Until I watched this, I thought that Ritchie Blackmore and Gary Moore were the two best guitarists I had seen. Now I think it's Prince.

[@kraz007]

Ofc, you need all three plus BB King and Jimi and a couple more.

[@bertryansuluvale6257]

His mastery of all styles is what puts him above the others in my opinion. The other guitar greats may have mastered a style or two but P shredded in ALL genres!!!

[@julianciahaconsulting8663]

wicked bass guitar player too

[@johngower2208]

its about having your own style. all the greats did. some were technically better than others but they were all unique

[@PhD_in_Undecided]

Well, David Gilmour…

[@giangianluca1988]

Don't cry, you don't have to be sad because it's over, you have to be happy and smile because it happened ... and when it happened you were there! Be thankful for it, bro!

[@welcome2paridice824]

Truly amazing guitar playing. If you didn’t get to see Prince live you missed the best guitarist that ever walked the planet. His body of work speaks 4 itself. What’s so crazy is the vault has even better music then what he released to the public. It’s hard to believe but it’s o’ so true. The world will probably never hear all of his music. Prince was so prolific and an absolute genius and will be 4EVER missed but never forgotten🎸

[@moustachio334]

Everytime I see him playing While My Guitar Gently Weeps, it makes me sad that George can't be there too

[@Staywoke1988]

Greatest Superbowl half-time show of ALL-TIME !

[@SojuNinja]

Those Creep solos are my fuel to survive

[@timothyboles2521]

That second solo was 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Chrisnewton69au]

The god, the goat, the legend, the master, the greatest, the legend, my hero.

[@willpatterson3917]

WHEN U GET THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE CLAPPING 2 RYTHYM OF LITTLE CORVETTE U ARE THE GOAT! I SAW HIM LIVE 7 TIMES AND I STILL CRY EVERYONCE IN A WHILE WHEN I WATCH THESE.....

[@terrylharris1249]

Prince was pure magic, a star that burned too bright to last forever here w us. However that bright star left us all w lasting gems of songs and performances to remind us all who the GOAT was and still is! 💜

You just did !

This is what doing something that you love sounds and looks like. Every time he stepped up on the stage, he played for keeps! So blessed to have seen him and Mike in my lifetime!

That is what's great about art. The artist could be gone for decades but the art will always be around to revisit.

I cried the day he passed

I cried fir weeks...months.. still do when I hear his music sometimes

No Question. Prince -it’s a hard call between Prince and MJ-no one else comes close. Both were amazing, breath taking performers.

[@zellyzel72]

EVER! 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣💜

[@xavierlogistics4057]

@@juliawilly9151 It's really not. I'll take the multi-instrumentalist/composer/producer/singer/songwriter/dancer/actor/director/digital music pioneer/pop icon/improvisational live performer who could rock a stadium leading a 10-piece band and then serenade a small crowd with only an acoustic guitar (played by himself) on the same night (and likely had on multiple occasions).

„the greatest“ is a hughe word. What about J.S.Bach? Chopin? Jimi Hendrix? Freddy Mercury? Michael Jackson? Eddy van Halen? Django Reinhardt?

Prince was special, man! Whenever he was close by you knew you were in the presence of God, not man god but God's creation. His passing doesn't take anything away it only amplifys the gift.

Every time I watch the purple rain live video I get choked up just amount of emotion he put into that solo was outstanding such a tragedy losing him. I would have killed to see a collaboration with Prince and Edward Van Halen I could only imagine the music they a writing in the sky above miss these two musicians

I think one of the most magical perfect moments in music ever recorded.

[@juliawilly9151]

I just accidentally watched his part when I was surfing through KZbin. Boy, did that stop me. I have never been more dumbstruck. My sister was a fan, but I really hadn’t paid that much attention before I saw it. I have never been more mesmerized by a guitar performer before or since. He is a genius-a master.

[@jakejake7289]

​@@juliawilly9151Same here. His While My Guitar changed my whole outlook on Prince. Talent and showmanship on a different level!

[@tarjakatriinapasiba9856]

Oh my God. Hear first time

[@cybertronguy98]

i hadnt heard the 1985 Live version of Something In The Water before, id only found the soundcheck version from the Orange Bowl, also from 1985. Stumbled onto that gem a few years ago now on KZbin. but i love how, with Prince especially, the same song could always have so many distinct interpretations and versions. The Live version from 85, the live version from 2014, the soundcheck version in Miami, it's crazy
