Prince - "Creep" live at Coachella Reaction!

I second this recommendation. I bought the bootleg "2nd Club That Night" when I was 16yo in Toronto, it literally is Prince at his peak performance. A 30yo global superstar playing in front of a few hundred people just transcending his instrument. Just him and God.

That final guitar solo is a gut punch. Don't know why but it is. I think the thing about Prince is that he played notes, rhythms and melodies that just resonate with your soul. Just a lot of beauty there.

[@YesYouCANPlayGuitar]

Hi Rob! Great post! Yes, he was amazing, sadly I have only really been awakened as to how good he was more recently....

[@airindiana]

It’s incredible. It’s the most rock and roll soul solo I’ve heard. Not the most twiddly but just can’t put my finger on it. It’s mental. That guitar tone too.

Imagine being in the audience and disappointed that the rumors of Radiohead doing the show didn't come to pass, and then unexpectedly hearing Prince just lay into this song. This performance will be awesome for a long time to come. Thanks for reacting to it!

[@amannamedbriggs6662]

I'm glad you enjoyed this performance. FYI- Prince is the only artist that I'm aware of that was on the cover of Bass Player, Guitar Player, and Modern Drummer at the same time back in 2004. My next suggestion for you is of course another Prince live performance from 1994-95 at his Miami club called The Glam Slam. He and his band the New Power Generation played one of my favorite Santana Jams called Jungle Strut. You can check it out with the search Prince Jungle Strut. This what really made me fall in love with his guitar playing back then.

That is amazing being on the cover of all those magazines! I will definitely check that one out!

[@jjjones8609]

Having witnessed Prince play the guitar covering Sly, Santana, and Hendrix as tributes to them covering their songs as each one would have played the guitar. Prince's guitar playing as them was identical-you would have thought all those 3 musicians were performing their own songs on stage.

[@YesYouCANPlayGuitar]

He is absolutely amazing the way he covers songs! He always makes it his own with respect to the original artist. :)

[@jjjones8609]

@@YesYouCANPlayGuitar Normally Prince does, but in my case; the choice was a tribute to the greats and how those greats performed their songs in their way. Prince was verbally telling us a story about them and how they related to his love of music to which he then went into their songs. BTW Santana is Prince's big influence on how he plays(picking wise) guitar (according to Prince).

[@thesolitaryadventurer]

The look at 9:36 said 1,000 words! I had to giggle as I knew we had another barnstormer of a solo coming up...the headshake at 13:06 said it all. What makes his guitar playing the best for me - and I'm finding you're causing me to analyse it more now - is that he has all these abilities in his toolbox but it is his 1) his choice of which to use and 2) his proficiency in using them. These are live performances. Yes, they're rehearsed but I can guarantee you that solo is unique to that moment. That he is able to get into the zone and let the creation be born on the fly, that's what makes him the GOAT for me. 40 year career, played like that out of the gate - check out I'm Yours and Bambi. And the fact he did so much else is just icing and a cherry on top.

[@YesYouCANPlayGuitar]

Exactly!

[@knowtheway7354]

I totally agree Debbie! :)

[@margi6035]

He can’t help but make it his own. He once said if he listens to a song he begins to rearrange it in his head. He once said while cleaning his teeth, sometimes a beat starts up and he has to get to his studio downstairs to record it. Producing music 24/7 he needed to live in his own place where he could record anytime. Duane Tudahl books on time sheets for his recording session at Sunset Sound in LA, before Paisley Park was built, will amaze you at the work ethic and the amount of music produced, where he did it all and only used an engineer to set up. I may have told you that already …

[@TraMark]

That vibrato!

[@YesYouCANPlayGuitar]

Very nice one for sure!

[@rae2737]

😎😎😎I can't imagine being a master musician the high (natural), the adrenaline rush from the reactions of the crowds. Is it true that he was a master of over 12 instruments?

[@stevenmonte7397]

Dude!! VERY Underrated... So many good guitar parts "hidden" within many of his songs. To me what puts him vry high on the list of great players is his musical IQ. i never hear useless, flashy playing. It all seems so deliberate and perfect for the part. He did like 21 shows in london or something that was just a trio. I've heard the guitar playing is WAY off the charts. i hope videos surface.

[@YesYouCANPlayGuitar]

Hi Steve! That would be great, we will keep doing reaction videos to them, I love analyzing his playing from a guitar player/teacher point of view. I'm late to the bbq about Prince (I used to only think of him as a performer/singer/dancer and never read anything about him in the guitar magazines when I was coming up in the late 80's, early 90's....

I miss him so much, I was lucky enough to see him in concert 5 times and 3 after shows. I thought I would be going to see him every year or two for decades to come. It was such a shock when he passed away. It still hurts me thinking about it. At least there will always be his music and live gems like this on youtube to watch. I am not saying he is a god or the best guitarist ever… But he was the total package and so unique and different then anyone else. There never was or never will be another Prince.

[@YesYouCANPlayGuitar]

Never will be another that's for sure. He's a guitar god, performance god in my books now. So sad he is gone :( I'm hoping to go to Paisley Park someday. That is awesome you got to see him live so many times....

[@YesYouCANPlayGuitar]

It is such a classic song. Hard to believe the Hollies sued Radiohead over that song. I don't see it (and speaking as an educated musician) Sadly, extortion exists for bands that are making money ie: "We are going to sue you over this, it's easier for you to pay us than to hire legal representation and go to court.." It happens all the time. Now sometimes legal action is necessary, but I don't think so in that situation.

There’s something about the feeling it gives me. It’s the one thing you missed out on. Actually seeing him live. I’m not exaggerating when I say it lifts your soul. Secondly, he is an underrated guitarist. Being that you travel in those circles, what is it about Prince that guitar aficionados think he couldn’t or didn’t do with a guitar?

[@YesYouCANPlayGuitar]

Great post Eric. I think having been a guitar "purist" in the past, and I've spent a lot of time recently thinking about this, is that he didn't get much exposure back in the day in the guitar media (I don't recall any articles on him in any of the big guitar magazines back in the late 80's or early 90's) and I think many of us associated him more with the frontman/dancing kind of thing like in "Thieves in the Temple" etc... I remember for sure that he did play guitar, I remember hearing Purple Rain on the radio. This is a great topic that I might do a video on actually to talk more about.

[@anthonyrobinson6590]

@@YesYouCANPlayGuitar Your point about him being perceived as a dancing front man is spot on. Robert Cray was getting guitar magazine features/covers and he's not half the guitarist Prince is. I remember when Living Colour came out, Vernon Reid got anointed as the Great Black guitar player ! Lol ! Prince never packaged himself as 100% guitar player.

Of course! Is there a particular live performance you want me to check out?

I think that’s chorus with the rate turned up full.

[@YesYouCANPlayGuitar]

An old trick we used to do if we needed flange back in the day, we would crank the chorus all the way up if we were too cheap (like I was) to buy a flange lol

[@MaxPower-js1sk]

@@YesYouCANPlayGuitar I’m 60 and my mind still lives in “back in the day”. I had a BF-2 flanger, and I learned to get excellent chorus and phaser sounds out of it because I was too cheap to buy a CE-2. Did you use gaffa tape to stick your pedals to the stage? I did that through most of the 80s.

Here's a link with it being Super Bowl Week. Here is his press conference, where he only talks through his music. Yet to see a reaction from a reactor. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZzUZXmEnLN0jbM

Prince - Bambi from the undertaker 👀

[@thesolitaryadventurer]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYuwmnVvmJ2agbc One of his most hard rock songs. Originally from 1979. Dude had the guitar in his pocket for his whole career. Underrated, sadly yes and even still. He's going to inspire generations though so I take solace in that.

Please react to Prince & The Revolution - zpurple Rain ( live 1985 ) official video - 16:34 m. Thank u.

[@thesolitaryadventurer]

Here's the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJ6TZKqngb5mhMU I'm curious what you'd make of it. It is a long extended solo but I wonder if the techniques differ much. It is evocative but I'm not sure from a technical standpoint. There are monster guitar solos to get to before this one I think.... But anything around Purple Rain gets a lot of views so maybe you might want to tackle it sooner for just that reason...?

[@YesYouCANPlayGuitar]

Definitely!

[@YesYouCANPlayGuitar]

Always so much more to learn, see and hear from him, it's a great journey!

Have you watched any of the Montreux shows? kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqHMi2Siq8qdnbM Actually, what am I saying..? ALL Prince's shows are amazing! However, his later shows really are something special. 3rdEyeGirl era really goes back to highlight his rocker side. Give HARDROCKLOVER a listen too (no visuals on this one tho).

@@YesYouCANPlayGuitar It's a full concert -too long for reaction, but def worth the watch for your personal pleasure.

[@heyhuey4429]

I hear the Hollies "The Air That I Breathe". It's really clear to my ear but "Creep" is not an obnoxious ripoff of their song.

[@YesYouCANPlayGuitar]

I totally agree. The thing is that Radiohead had money. What happens sometimes in these situations, is that it is easier to settle with someone than to fight them in court and this happens often.... sadly and unethically.

[@jasons8756]

Here you go. You'll definitely enjoy this one... kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5XQeWtniMd2a7s

[@thesolitaryadventurer]

The song we're all pointing you to is Motherless Child at 8:35 on this video. Richie Havens is probably the most famous version of this old spiritual song. The lyrics Prince uses and the intro he speaks to is true to his own life... For all the glamour and androgyny, his life was a rags to riches. He really did come from a broken home and made himself into an alien through his talent and work ethic.

[@YesYouCANPlayGuitar]

I will definitely check that one out. Yes and I'm going to try to give the movie Purple Rain another try as it seems to touch on that...

[@YesYouCANPlayGuitar]

Absolutely!

[@thesolitaryadventurer]

@@YesYouCANPlayGuitar It's certainly of its time. A much darker film than we recall. But the 80s were a less polished place... The music performances are still absolutely spellbinding though.

Can you offer an opinion why a guy who can do that would be underated??

[@YesYouCANPlayGuitar]

Dorian, (great name by the way, it's the name of a mode/scale in music) I have been asked this a lot lately, I'm going to do a video on it soon.

[@zambot3325]

Same solo as his others lol

[@rabahlaggoune1779]

Underestimated the word is weak, probably because he was considered more as a singer and dancer, big mistake..
