Prince often gets overlooked as a guitar player, but he is one of the best. And if you consider his other musical instruments, songwriting, singing, and stage performance, there are very very few at his level. Too bad his weirdness factor turns many off. His cover of Just my Imagination is outstanding, but very hard to find.

His weirdness and hokey AM playlist songs like, “Little Red Corvette”, caused me to stay away from any of his tunes nor do I read pop magazines so he’s been nothing in my musical world. I’m serious, I had no idea Prince could play like that, now I’m gonna have to check some of his other stuff out to see for myself.

A friend of mine was a guitar tech on quite a few Prince tours in the past. The man is an incredibly talented musician but weird personality would be putting it lightly. You didn't talk to Prince, nor look him in the eye, if he wanted to address you he would speak to his attache’ who would tell you (what you just heard), you responded to the attache’ who would repeat it back to Prince. Break on of the rules and you were off the tour, never to work for him again.

if you are a blues fan, look for a Japanese import video of Prince performing a night of the blues, absolutely incendiary.
