We talked about the spectacle! But we did not talk about the musicality. One thing I love about ANY Prince guitar solo is that he knows the direction he is moving toward & they always resolve perfectly, both rhythmically & musically no matter what he reaches for along the way.

It’s a much more rare talent than you’d think. Even the greatest guitarists sometimes improv too hard & get in the weeds & soon you have to admit to yourself you stopped enjoying it 3 minutes ago. Prince was a savant. He could point at the sky & hit a Grand Slam every time.
And that was just, like, one thing he could do better than anyone else. It’s almost funny, it’s so shocking. Was there anything he could not do? His drawing ability was kinda goofy, I guess. 😂
