    Whoa whoa whoa... there’s several “New Orleans accents.” I need to be more specific.

    i don't really enjoy eddie's solos that much, most of the time. i feel like we don't talk enough about all the other stuff.

    EVH is a genius on the guitar (and very talented on piano), but prince is a genius at music.

    eddie was, literally, just doing tricks on "jump." he's said it himself. that intro on "when doves cry" wasn't tricks. it's just really f cking hard to play. i can also tell you just went and listened to it now and had no idea what you were talking about before.

    Replying to @bomani_jones
    The first 20 seconds of Doves Cry is literally a “stupid guitar trick” - and a less impressive one. To call that the best guitar performance on a no. 1 EVER is absurd. And I really respect Prince as a player

    mayyyybe i misspoke? switched thoughts without a hard enough turn. my father watched pete play at the omni. nice try, tho.

    lol just said on ESPN that the St. Louis Hawks had Pete Maravich and still couldn’t get anyone to the arena, and it would be a wasteland for a player like Zion Williamson. The Hawks moved to Atlanta in 1968, two years before Maravich debuted ... c’mon

    ah, you’re into stupid guitar tricks more than anything. 10-4. and to be clear, i like that solo. but nah, buddy.

    LOL. Start Jump at 2:17. Please try to tell me that's worse than the Prince intro.

    i’m convinced the plot of the movie poisoned the song for a lot of people. it’s another guitar clinic. “purple rain” is full of great guitar, more than any other prince album.

    i’m saying they can’t do it at all. billy gibbons couldn’t.

    It is legendary and instantly recognizable. No one would have done it well as Prince...no one

    the first minute of “when doves cry” would be guitar legend if someone else did them. we don’t think of it as a guitar song because he pops in and out, but the first 20 seconds or so might be the best guitar playing ever on a no. 1 single. that’s not hyperbole. and the solo? whew

    why do you act like clapton advanced the form when it’s obvious he’s doing age-old things? popular and groundbreaking aren’t the same.

    Replying to @bomani_jones
    So the 74 year can’t keep up with Adam? Wow, amazing. He is called slow hand( ironically) because in his time he was ahead of his time. Brilliant. But can’t compare to player that have had 40 years to evolve from what they learned from him.

    there’s this little ditty called “when doves cry” that your fave, literally, can’t play.

    I disagree but am always up for changing my mind. I'm not super familiar with Princes catalog, what are some good Prince guitar songs?
