Prince, Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, Jeff Lynn and others | WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS
This youtube sensation of a video has blown up exponentially the past couple years as more people have discovered Prince’s incredible neverending talent. The man was a prodigy, a genius, and one hell of a guitar player! As many remember Prince for his sensual songwriting and iconic persona, his musicianship takes no back seat to his pop hits.
Performing at the Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony with several classic rock Gods including Tom Petty, Jeff Lynn, and George Harrison’s son, Prince appears out of the shadows to offer his chops to the track. It’s an electric storm of virtuosity both technical, melodic, and awe-inspiring. The best part is his confidence and nonchalance which climaxes as he throws his telecaster into the air and walks away. His expressions are playful as if it’s just another walk in the park for him. He blows the other men off the stage and the facial reactions from the opposing band members are priceless.
