    He was probably a guitar player before he was an artist/producer;)
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    I've thought that Prince was a great guitarist for years, I just don't enjoy his music very much.

    Good Clip, though.

    awesome video. I love when he can show that side of himself. I can see a clear Jimi Hendrix influence in his personal and playing style.

    I have also always thought he was a fantastic guitar player. Not my favorite, but quite good. I too have seen a Hendrix influence on his playing. I would bet if you asked Prince he would say Hendrix is his favorite.

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    Not my favorite guitarist, but still, I think his fretwork has always been very underated.

    Saw him perform "Fury" on SNL a few years ago and was blown away by his guitar work. I immediately went online to see if anyone was talking about his performance, and I guess the highest compliment he can receive is that people on the Bruce Springsteen and Van Halen forums were all talking about what a kick butt job he did!
