- Guitar tutor reacts to first time hearing prince's while my guitar gently weeps live solo with Tom Petty. Coming at this from the point of view of a professional musician, combining a reaction with some analysis, technique breakdown, licks, stagecraft and music theory that's hopefully easy enough to understand!
A great solo using tonnes of superb blues and rock clichés with enough originality and showmanship to keep it fresh and exciting.

I love that Prince paid a flamboyant tribute instead of an overly sober one. Celebrate instead of mourning! 👍. And Dhani totally got it.
Very well put mate. Nail, head, hit.
He only did that to tell Rolling Stone to eat sh*t
Dhani was actually pissed
Yeah, George was stifled a lot in his professional career. You really think he'd want Prince to be anything other than his flamboyant self? If anything it shows that much more genuine respect and emotion. And it honestly was a tasty solo that fit the song rather than clash with it. I loved it
Dhani might have smiled during the performance, but afterward he was quoted saying he thought Prince's performance was self-indulgent and unnecessary. He was not happy about it.
He can shred a solo but his rhythm work is even more impressive. Really a musician that happens to play guitar.
'a musician that happens to play guitar' - you've pretty much nailed what I was trying to articulate here!
As you noted several times, Prince was excellent at making the guitar SING! And that's what the song is all about!
Totally agree, really wailing on it here!
This is why Prince was the boss for so long. I'd recommend him covering Play that funky music from the tour in 2011. He plays both guitar and Bass. Awesome showman sadly missed 😢
Ohhh, that sounds like a good shout, that's a cracking song
So glad i was smart enough to see Prince twice in concert in his hay day.
A very wise move on your part!
Me too! I'll remember his shows for the rest of my life. I feel very lucky I lived in the years of the Beatles up through Prince.
It's worth noting that Prince never rehearsed this solo with the rest of the guys. That's what blew the rest of the musicians mind. During the rehearsal time the first guitar player played both solos and Prince just said at the end: "Don't worry guys it will be fine" leaving the rehearsal without doing anything. Then, in this live he just filled in on the spot. That is something incredible.
How did this blow your mind? I mean, honestly. You could almost do anything over this structure, and it would sound at least adequate...
Knowing where to be, pentatonically, over the 3 of 7 chord changes is not what I'd call mind-blowing. But what do I know... this is the greatest player of all time, right?
@@jethrogibbs3800 easy talk. Quote a solo captured on video made in the same way.
@@jethrogibbs3800 Beethoven once said: The most difficult thing is to create a good melody. Improvise a solo, you may do it, and it may sound dull and boring. Even if it's technically good or adequate. But make something mesmerizing on the spot, improvised, not rehearsed, even if it isn't complex or virtuousistic is really really difficult. Normally the most proficient musicians plan ahead.
@robertocaesar I disagree that it sounds mind-blowing again. Also, much of that was thought out. It did not just come from nowhere. It wasn't scripted, per se, but knowing the chord changes and your basic pentatonics will get you there. This was no virtuosic performance.
The most interesting thing he did was the opening reverse bends.
But, again...I may just not be understanding the most powerful guitar player of all time, right?
It is good, not great. I'm sorry, but Prince is not a genius improviser. I can tell you that by virtue of understanding theory.
@@robertocaesar Ironically, the most melodic thing done in this video are the vocals...
But let's not fight. I think Prince is a great songwriter and fantastic performer.
Feelings, feel, emotion is waaaaay better than tech!!!! And that’s wat Prince does. Which makes his playing soooooo much better than most!!
Hot take: technique > feeling
I'll admit it's a very pedantic justification, but the feeling come from whatever technique they are using. A lot of the time we think of shred as technique but; touch, pick attack, dynamics, vibrato, bends are all types of technique too. Granted ones that tend to be more vocal and give more feeling. But even that shred run he did had a tonne of fire in it, that's what the song needed and Prince delivered the goods!
Prince had a world-class studio built into his residence.
Of course he did! What a legend.
BTW... I don't know you.
But Prince would run,dance,play circles around you(all of us) in anything he put his mind to.
Miss that man.
Yep, wouldn't want to take a solo after him!
That's George's son. The greats and prince a musical genius.
Dude, you will love Prince here. He was amazing.
Prince is a guitar god! Not only guitar he could play almost all other instruments. He was a musical god! He played this solo without any rehearsal. He walked on stage and jammed this out! What an amazing musician.
Even with George as his dad, I imagine it still must have been a bit daunting for Dhanni Harrison, being on stage with 4 famous artists who, between them, wrote a wealth of classic and great songs. Prince knew how to do flamboyant and he's clearly loving displaying his guitar skills as part of this once-in-a-lifetime line-up.
Looks like he's just loving it!
@@JbfMusicGuitar True. Must have been a great feeling to be part of this, daunted or not.
Prince is the ONLY ARTIST TO BE ON GUITAR, DRUM, BASS AND KEYBOARD MAGAZINE.... HE'S A VIRTUOSO ON EACH INSTRUMENT...... YOUR EXPOSURE TO HIS GENIUS RESPECTFULLY IS SIMPLY LIMITED
That's a great pop culture fact, cheers for the info!
Stevie Wonder also
It took me watching this like 10 times before I noticed that his cheeky look was his guitar briefly getting disconnected and he was basically going "oops my bad" probably to the sound guy before plugging back in and verifying with a strum before continuing the solo. It all happens so fast and isn't even noticeable just by hearing the song.
Oh man, I never clocked that will need to rewatch- well spotted sir!
@rudymora4179 I've watched this quite a few times myself. Interesting perspective on what was happening at that "cheeky moment ." Knowing the history of this performance, Prince didn't have a rehearsal with this ensemble of musicians. Maybe a very limited one... He knew that Jeff Lynne would play the first solo. He would play the second. I believe that look was to Jeff saying, I yield back to you for the close. Jeff gave him the go ahead to continue. I'm sure you're probably a musician yourself and know the subtle cues given when you're sitting in with a band playing unrehearsed.
Nope, he was showing Tom Petty that he had broke a string.
You definitely should watch more Prince!
Creep cover, motherless child, Shhh 2004, Play that funky music just to start.
Agreed! Those sound like great ideas, had been suggested play that funky music, so I'll probably check that one out first!
Don't forget his song "Bambi" either.
Great reaction! Thanks for your perspective on his solo. Prince is my favorite musician of all-time since I was 9yrs old, I'm 50 now so I've spent a lot of time hearing him. For me what's so impressive is that he was able to juggle so many talents and still found the time to learn to read music and play guitar. That Madcat H.S. Anderson/Hohner Telecaster he used was the most viewed in his early start in the late 70's. I never thought his ability to shred was earth shattering but it didn't need to be, he often did things fast and many times would improvise live on stage. But I also think that if he had put all his talent and genius into just playing guitar.......man, he would be the guitar god.
Safe travels on your life journey 🤘
Totally, he clearly spread out his skills across different disciplines, totally agree he didn't need a Paul Gilbert pristine style of picking to express what he wanted to say
I've read in different publications that Prince did not read music. He didn't at the beginning of his career and later on he said he didn't want to learn because he was afraid it would alter his process and might change his music. Most of his music from 1985 on was arranged by Clare Fischer, He worked with Prince on pretty much every album and his films to develop the sound of most of what we hear on Prince albums. They worked together for 20+ years.
Try "Joy in Repetition" love after show.
@@Al-Rudigor I've seen him play that live in the center of the 3rd row from the stage. I've seen or heard many of his versions of that song
You can seriously hear every emotion in prince’s guitar 🎸😭 such an amazing soul and a heck of a guitar player this whole song was a 10/10 prince just made it better and the guy on the acoustic is Dhani Harrison George Harrison’s son 🤘🏼
Awesome that Dhani could be there, makes even more sense as to why he's getting so much vibe from it!
One of the other musicians, I think it was Steve Winwood, said that no one knew that Prince was going to throw his guitar and when Prince did, he watched it thinking someone was going to get hurt when it came down, but it went up into the catwalks and just vanished into the darkness. Steve, (I THINK it was Steve, it's been several years since I watched the interview) didn't see any lines or cords on the guitar but being under the lights he probably wouldn't have, but it went up and just vanished.
Lmao, that sounds about right!
You can see it being thrown into the audience to his bodyguard on this 2021 remastered version. It kind of solved the mystery of the flying guitar.
@@lavenderbee3611 They gave it to Oprah Winfrey...she returned it of course.
You did a fantastic reaction and analysis, just a few points I would make.
I've never heard of a pro guitar player that considers prince anything less than a master guitarist. This particular performance is a tribute to George Harrison. He wasn't playing prince, he was playing ROCK. He was playing for everyone on that stage, and the fellow rockstars in the audience, above all he was playing for the Magazine that put him so low on their list.
Another guitar reaction channel summed up Prince really well. He said that unlike other musicians they only tend to play one instrument so they have hours and hours of practice to get really good at it. Prince does so much other stuff (Singing, writing, dancing, etc) he does not have enough time just to dedicate practicing the guitar. That really made me realise just how amazing Prince is.
Totally, he somehow did his 10,000 hours on different disciplines all at once!
the "guy" on acoustic is George Harrison's son Dhani
Prince liked to create a spontaneous, raw feel to his music. I sort of imperfection makes it sound more natural. I think that's why we loved him so much.
I love how you can give your opinion on an artist but still give props and not bash. Its to bad others think a review or reaction means destroy if they dont like whatever it is they review/react critique
Cheer's dude, it's a fine line! Some folk get really annoyed if you don't just gush with praise (and to be fair guy's like Prince were famous for good reason!) but it just seems disingenuous, you know? He still rocked is like a beast!
This is my sort of reaction video. You are actually explaining what we are listening to!
I have know idea what you are saying but I am literally on the edge of my seat...
I wish I understood more about Prince's music. Thank you for explaining it to people like myself, I helps me understand why I love Prince so much 😭💜
Oh no! Sorry I try to keep these a bit more accessible- any questions just fire them over!
@@JbfMusicGuitar No, I meant it in a good way! I really like your explanation! I meant I don't necessarily understand all the technical terms but I still love it! 🥰
I understand when you say he may intentionally play a little sloppily to add emotion but at that one point where you thought he was being a little cheeky he was actually showing Tom Petty that he had broke a string half way through his solo. So just Imagine how much different the later half would've sounded if he hadn't. Just food for thought.
Pretty cool reaction to my favorite musician and artist of all time. Prince played a lot of guitar but that was not always known to the masses. Anyway, it would be great if you would react to his songs "Empty Room" (in Montreux, Live, length: 5m51s) and/or "The Ride" (also a Live recording) the one with his yellow cloud guitar that lasts 5m58s. I think you would like those, and if so there are many more!
Thanks for that! I'll pop them on my list, really enjoyed this so hopefully check out some more from him!
I am not a guitar player, but listening to your expertise reminds me that it's never too late to dream. In addition, as a huge Prince supporter, I love your honest assessment of him as an artist without gloating as if you've been a lifelong fan. There is a lot of material out there that I hope you find. Regardless, new fan of this page!
Many thanks mate! Totally, tasty bluesy solo licks this are very much achievable if you can put aside a regular bit of time to learn. Ach, no point pretending I know much about him when I don't, eh? Awesome, thanks for that!
Yes all 3 of the Montreaux 2009 are amazing. Check out his cover of Radiohead Creep you won’t be sorry
Sounds really interesting, cheers for the suggestion!
The second show of the 2009 Montreux concert is my all time favorite show to watch. You were all three...Congrats! I have shows etched in my memories and I'm sure the same goes for you!
great reaction and thanks for teaching
My pleasure!
The guy in the back with the acoustic is no other than George Harrison's son
Dude, I thoroughly enjoyed that. I'm bingewatching reaction videos to this performance and although I know nothing about technical guitarplaying, I was still fascinated by your comments and opinions. I much prefer this to reaction videos where people put on grimaces and cheers just to get more clicks, without having any clue about Prince and/or what's going on. Stay solid!
Really glad you enjoyed it! Thanks a tonne bud
lol “that guy” behind prince. George Harrison’s son.
Perfect reaction. Thank you!
Cheers mate!
Bro! Thank you for the Breakdown!

Prince beat Mozart, he mastered over 14 instruments by age 17, he could dance, sing any note, rap, he wrote, arranged, performed ALL his music, including wrote hits for other artists, he has covered almost every genre, Metal, Punk rock, hip hop, pop, r&b, soul, jazz, blues, country, ambience, classical, instrumental. The Multi-Genre God. He could play anything, and your favorite artists have been deeply influenced by him. Corey Taylor, Whitney Houston, Steve Vai, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Lil uzi vert, H.E.R. , Paul Mccartney, all worship Prince to just name a few.
Prince recorded his first 2 albums at 16 all by himself, all instruments, lyrics, arrangement, composition & vocals were all by him. He was such a prodigy, that music executives wanted proof, they would fly across country just to see if he could really play all instruments, because it was so unheard of. Prince has over 50 official released albums and when he passed, they found over 10 thousand unreleased Prince music in his vault. He then came into the business and was the FIRST to fight for artists rights, and he WON. He would write "slave" on his cheek and go to meetings protesting against the industry. Prince was also the first artist to sell his music on the internet. You are talking about the most talented artist we will ever see.
14 at 17??!? That's insane. I'd heard about his vault, never knew it was as many as 50 unreleased albums. I also heard he wrote a shed of load songs so he could put an album and get released from his label, what a boss.
I am from the USSR myself. You have written an amazing text. I recognized the Prince back in 1985. And I think he's a brilliant showman, artist and musician. Strangely enough, he was rich, but he did not shine with his wealth. He shone with his music and talent. And this is a composition in honor of George Harrison, as a requiem for him. But at the same time, he also shone like a diamond at the top of the Prince's career itself.
Prince is a great musician of modern styles. Тhank you!
СПАСИБО!
Thanks for the shoutout
Always a pleasure my dude, thanks a bunch!!!
If you could make a whole channel dedicated to Prince that would be great! 😉
In fairness the algorithm would love that!
Acoustic player is George Harrison's son
Kasiin lagu ini ke mas Alip,, biar di cover😂😂😂
Great breakdown
Cheers mate, glad you liked it!
After acting cool and collected for the first half of the video Prince literally leaves you for dust half way through. Ah well!
He really dials it up!
Hi bro, you did away with introducing this, the posthumous induction to the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame for GEORGE HARRISON in 2004 as a SOLO ARTIST, already a RARHOFamer from years earlier as a member of The Beatles and although Lennon/McCartney were the dominant songwriters this was written by Harrison and featured on The Beatles White Album (1968).
The young guy digging Prince as he’s leaning back into the crowd ………… it’s no wonder he’s digging it as Prince and the other musicians are killing this song ………… it’s DHANI HARRISON, George’s SON and his SPITTING IMAGE of s young George.
For any other casual viewer who may not be any the wiser others on stage include Steve Winwood, ELO’s Jeff Lynne and Tom Petty 😊
Halo, pak..
Menyimak reaksinya.
It never ceases to amaze me how these people on RUclips can sit there and pick apart a genius musician like Prince playing guitar!
It’s truly laughable that they’ll never achieve any fame or fortune like this man. Talking about something isn’t played “perfectly” makes no sense because you can’t put Prince in a box. His fans aren’t trying to find flaws we’re just being entertained by his showmanship and brilliance.
If you want musicians who play by your little book, don’t review Prince, he was a musical genius who did things his way. Just stick to your British artists and leave our Black icons alone, please and thank you!!
It's been the most effective way for me to learn music in general, everyone has their own way. Imho it's not really an issue that it's not pristine pick it doesn't really matter in the context or the performance, if anything is helps it out, you know?
He's not hating on prince. Relax boss. It was soulful, solid, smart playing. Take a dam valium Jesus wtf does this have to do with being Black 😂😂. Our artists? A race doesn't own prince
No one asked you to come here btw. So stick to YOUR channels if you're going to start an argument with a fellow musician. Especially with someone who's being overly polite
Unbelievable that you IMMEDIATELY had to make to about race
I'm shocked
How come you dont know who is on the stage😢😢
I am an uneducated fool! But at least a fool, willing to admit it and learn... or try to!
The guy that gets it is Dhani Harrison George’s son. That’s why he gets it! 😉
If you think P made the guitar weep in this clip...listen to Purple Rain live in Syracuse 1985. Grab your tissues.
I've never really taken to Purple Rain, will give that version a watch and see if it finally clicks with me!
Excellent video. I thought is was very interesting how you broke it down as a guitar player. Becuz I do beleive we are so in awe if his showmanship that we don't realize from a technical standpoint how difficult the solo may have been or not. From what Ive heard about this event was that Prince sort if blew off rehearsal & this resembled nothing that had been rehaersed. So he scores points for however much of the solo was impromptu. I've read & heard people say that Prince himself always felt underrated as a guitar player & it bothered him.
What I hear you saying is that technically it wasnt a very hard solo. Do I have that right? Also, You referenced Prince as sort of a Jack of all trades but not really a master at anything when ralking about how many instruments he could play. I think it means a lot coming from a fellow musician. But from what I've heard from other musicians & band members was that he was pretty accomplished at the instruments he chose to play. I've heard more than one artist, Terry Lewis for instance say that he could play his instrument better than him. What we do know as a fact is that Prince was good enuff at all of the instruments to the point where he didn't need to hire anyone to help him record un the studio. He played all of the instruments on the vast majority of his 40 albums or so.
I can imagine he'd change stuff on the night, to get some of that special spontaneity, cheers for the info!
It's still tricky, not an easy solo, but towards the easier side of solos, if that makes sense? I might have misspoke a bit there, meant that he (to the best of my knowledge and I could be wrong, I don't know much about the guy!) wouldn't be counted as a virtuoso on one discipline, but still a very, very solid player across different instruments. If that makes more sense?
For a professional guitarist I'm sure what he played wasn't the hardest arrangement. It's the way it's put together that makes all the difference! That's like saying anybody could do it. If this guy could make his guitar sing like Prince we might know who he is? It would really be a good idea to do a little or a lot of research before making a video about someone else's ability! Thanks man! Great take...
@@jamesrobinson1557I understood what he was saying. I sort of took it like when people say Mandarin is the hardest language to learn. I say, how can that be when baby's are learning it over there everyday just fine. 😏 I got into a similar discussion with a guy who insisted that Paco De Lucia was a better guitarist than Prince bcuz Flamenco was harder to play than rock, funk, or R&b guitar. Notwithstanding the fact that Charro plays it pretty well, & she ain't on anybody's goat list,😏 I suggested that it wasn't hard to play if you were from Algeciras, Spain where De Lucia was from & that's all they were teaching. Add to it that the dudes father & brothers all played. Prince was self taught
Idk if you have seen the Glen Campbell video of him playing The William Tell Overture with a full orchestra, using a 12 string guitar. I think you'll enjoy it.
I think this is on my list of stuff to check out, shamefully I still haven't gotten round to it... sounds dope!
@JbfMusicGuitar Can you please do Chicago Terry Kath solo on 25 or 624 live at Tanglewood? It's mind blowing.
He’s playing different guitarists styles as an f u to Rolling Stone for leaving him off the the top guitarist list that year.
He mainly used Boss pedals so you can probably hear the Boss VB-2 Vibrato
And the Vault was a literal vault
Very cool bit of backstory, I'd never have guessed that! Oh cool, I'll check that one out. LMAO! I love that it's an actual vault... of course it was, it's Prince!
*cough* the "guy on acoustic who is completely loving this" at 6:40 is George Harrison's son.
So Prince has been my favorite artist since I first started listening to him back in 1981 and I admit that I’m extremely biased when it comes to his music. So I appreciate honest opinions from what others have to say especially those who have never been a fan. So thanks for the breakdown.
Also as good as I find this performance to be, I think he did ones way better than this. I think it’s the stage on which this was done that got so many people talking about his guitar play that night not have heard him play like that before.
That's a really good take, have you got any personal favourite Prince songs and/or showy offy bits that you reckon showcase him the best?
His live concert where he played "Play that funky music white boy" is available on RUclips
The guy on acoustic is George's son ?
Really looks like George!
Had a quick Google, looks like it probably is be Dhani Harrison, good catch I'd never have got that!
@@JbfMusicGuitar of course it is Dhani 😉
Cheers for the confirmation, I'd never have clocked him!
@@JbfMusicGuitar And you're totally right, he was the one who really enjoyed Prince's playing the most!
Would you ever do a guitar lesson on hes guitar solo.
Probably not a full one, but never say never! I picked out some key licks in this video and did a breakdown of that awesome shred part here: ruclips.net/video/7la6x12g_b4/видео.html
Question? Who is a better guitar player? You, or Prince? 🤔
Depends on your criteria, sloppy sweep picking? I've probably got him pipped there! Most of the important stuff he'd probably smoke me on
@@JbfMusicGuitar 😆 Well, I guess I can see your point! But at least you know how to play. A lot of people that watched this video don’t. Myself included. However, my air guitar playing is impeccable! I am up for a challenge on that! 😆
The guy next ti tom petty is dan Harrison Gorge Harrison son
Good to know, so many great player I just had no idea about!
I admit I am not a guitar expert by any means, but my opinion on this performance is that the song had been going nowhere before Prince started to play. It was just droning on and on, and I wasn't even paying close attention. But Prince started playing and I woke up. Maybe for a guitar professional it wasn't all that much, but IMO the tribute would have been completely forgettable if Prince hadn't been part of it.
It certainly kicks things up a notch, and you're quite right that sort of thing really packs a punch!
Umm, I like how the song was going. The vocals, the collaborative environment and of course Prince's solo.
Then you really have no appreciation for great musicians! The first guitarist was just as capable of shredding right along with prince. First solo was played note for note the way Clapton played it on the original! If everyone would of gotten up there and tried to out do the other one it would of been a shit show musically!
The bottom line is - did you create a MEMORABLE performance???? Yes, you can have great technique but were you boring on stage or not with that great technique. Claude Monet was a master in painting....and when you looked close up on his paintings you saw the rough coarse painting TECHNIQUE - yet it gave the illusion of beautiful art from a distance. KEY - great artists take RISKS...that is the separation of a boring performance to memorable.
I'd broadly agree with that, the really interesting stuff often comes when the edge of technique meets inspiration. I'm of the mind set that it's better to have fun, move about a hit a few duds than worry about keeping everything pristine. Totally respect guys that have the patience to do that, cause you sort of need it for mathrock and prog stuff, just not my main jam I suppose.
As much as I enjoy this performance, I'm more partial to Jeff Healey's version. You should check him out. I believe you'd be pleasantly surprised.
Sounds good, will make a note of that, cheers!
"This guy" is George Harrison's son.
He is indeed!
Reaction Canon rock Alib Ba Ta
yeah sorry, the guy on acoustic is the famous Tom Petty and while I am sure you are a good guitarist why try to tear down and simplify someone Eric Clapton referred to as the greatist guitarist?
Yeah, there's a tonne of iconic folk I just don't know much if anything about, that's what's great about these videos, I get the opportunity to learn! My goal here is to try and covey in a hopefully easy enough to understand way some of what's going on and chuck in a lesson for the guitarist, apologies if it came off as simplifying and tearing down- definitely not my intention.
You good brother. Some people get a little tight when Prince is critiqued. Keep teaching your knowledge and be like Prince. Don't let anything stop you.
That quote from Eric Clapton has been attributed to multiple artists including Hendricks and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Also I'm not sure what you're getting up on your hind legs about. I don't hear critcism, I hear a guitarist breaking down the playing. A critique is different than criticism. Sheesh.
I liked the fact that this guy was very knowledgeable and could play, so he knows what he’s talking about, BUT I didn’t like that he kept stopping the solo, to try and impress everyone by showing he could play as well, this wasn’t about him or what he could do, it was almost like he was out to prove he could do what Prince does and although he was doing some of the things Prince was doing it didn’t sound nearly as good as when Prince did it!!!!!
He doesn't get it. He shit on prince in interviews and said the others would hate it that he was too over the top
While I get where he could be coming from saying that, looks like he was having a blast at the time, would be pretty hard to not enjoy that!
The acoustic guy is George Harrison son. Come on, he looks like his dad back when Beatles came out
Then he tosses his guitar 🎸 in the air and walks off!
all the sass!
Obviously you know your strings very well but you don't know Prince style of playing. Nothing that he did here surprised me, he was actually being very reserved with his skills. Guess you would also find Hendrix style abit sloppy. Good review though.
Yeah, I think that's a fair point, cheers mate glad you enjoyed it!
ANOTHER guitarist critiquing Prince?!?
No comment.
Aye, one of the best ways to learn stuff, look at guys like Prince and see how they do their thing!
Dude...I kinda don't need analysis frlor people that generally know this stuuf. Prince is literally bending over backwards onstage in front of you and you're dissecting it to a sad Berkleyesh death.
Not every ones cup of tea, hope you find the kinds that thing that floats your boat!
Way to ruin a world class performance and undiscovered gem! 😎👍 (Just kidding, never seen this before)
To be fair if anyone could ruin a performance like this, it's a talent. A horrible, awful curse of a talent... but a talent none the less! 🤣
@@JbfMusicGuitar Thank you for your hard work, your content stands head and shoulders above the rest!
@@mimetype Far too kind, many thanks dude!
prince was too bored to be technical cause he did it so he went dirty to sound expressionally as a gutar is singing the notes
Can't for the life of me figure out why armatures critic world class. Jmo, sorry, not meaning to be rude, just real.
I think we all critique stuff, be it music, films, art, youtube videos, just part of life and being a person I suppose
You missed the bedt part of the song.🤦
Aye, this was just to analyse the solo section, so I didn't film the rest of it... but being a guitarist this might actually be the best part of the song for me, lol!
You sound like a hater.
You talk too much 😒
Yeah, not for everyone hope you can find what you're looking for on here
Worst reaction and analysis of this song that I've seen.
on the plus side I can only go up from here... right?
man we wanna hear Prince not you...
stop promoting yourself
If you want to hear the original song, a reaction analysis video like this probably isn't what you're looking for, the original video is probably your best bet- ruclips.net/video/6SFNW5F8K9Y/видео.html
@@JbfMusicGuitar no i dont want to hear the original...I did! it was great...what I want to hear is a goid reaction and not not somebody trying to promote his skills on screens...that's all
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, best American rock band of all time
Dude on the red beret played much better
Definitely was cool but by no means the greatest…I hear a bunch of non musicians say that and it couldn’t be further from the truth….hundreds of solos that out that to shame….that said, still awesome…..and Dhani Harrison later would say he thought it was “a bit gratuitous” and that he wasn’t the biggest fan of him doing that
If it hits the spot for someone, it sort of pushes it in to a special category, or place I suppose? A bit gratuitous- is it fair to say that was pretty much Prince's thing though, the kinda flamboyant showman thing?
He would have smoked you on stage. :)
Too right he would have!
