There's some weird stuff going on. There's a 13hr window that's unaccounted for.

A very multi faceted talent, but his guitar skills stood out for me. He didn't show them off enough I reckon.

I've thought for years that he was Hendrix's equal. A phenom for sure.

He was heavily influenced by Jimi. I heard him say that on several occasions.

I always liked that cat. IIRC he was self taught on reading and writing music (?). He had mad guitar skills. He steps in here at 3:23.

An absolutely incredible solo.

Dude was amazing.

What's really cool is to see the tributes from across the genres regarding his musical ability.  [bow_down]

Like SRV, another artist I never saw live, unfortunately.  :'(

Agreed.

His halftime performance at SB XLI was also quite remarkable: https://youtu.be/RT4Tn5ztwdA

Once in an interview, after being asked the question, "What’s it like to be the best guitar player alive," Eric Clapton responded, "I don’t know, ask Prince."


RESPECT.     [bow_down]

DAMN, that is a level of respect in your craft. [thumbsup]

Saw a local band last night (who released an album last year that debuted at #1 on Billboard's Bluegrass chart) and they closed their encore with a cover of Purple Rain.

The 'Wild' started the opening ceremonies with a moment of silence for Prince. Respect
