One of the most underated guitarists of his era, I remember when he died most people just thought of him as another "pretty boy", he was doing session work well before he became famous. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ChipButty Posted December 19, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2020 While Prince was not strictly known for his guitar playing, having been one of the most successful musicians of all time. However, not many know that he was also considered to be a guitar virtuoso. His music blended together a huge variety of genres including R&B, funk, soul, synth-pop, psychedelia. This led to him pioneering the funk rock sub-genre of the Minneapolis sound. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
