Prince Guitar Jams: Rare Videos, Beatles Cover, Chuck Berry


Prince Rogers Nelson, musical genius, R&B superstar, funkmaster, amazing writer and producer, yet with all of these accolades, he's UNDERRATED as one of the best guitar players of all-time.   Rock, Blues, Jazz, Funk, you name it!  You can see the influences:  Hendrix, Santana, Clapton, Niles Rodgers (Chic), here's evidence:
"JOHNNIE B. GOODE" with "ANOTHERLOVERHOLENYOHEAD" 
From the 2007 NFL Super Bowl press conference, the Chuck Berry classic and a Prince favorite!

"THE QUESTION OF U"
 






"ELECTRIC CHAIR" 
From 1989, Saturday Night Live performance promoting his Batman soundtrack.


"SHHH"  (Paris 2011)
Originally from 1995's Gold Experience, he did a ten minute guitar solo during this song when I saw him in Tampa.

"WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS"
The entire Traveling Wilburys were at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame to induct George Harrison.    Prince assumes the role of George on lead guitar and blows away the audience.

Wanted to add "Million Days" From 2004's Musicology CD, a rare video find!  The video was removed from YouTube, Prince's music is almost always taken down.


Some other great Prince jams:
The Question of U
Joy In Repetition
Just My Imagination 
Let's Go Crazy
The Ride
I Could Never Take The Place  
Bambi
The Cross
