Here’s a song almost everyone knows, The Beatles’ While My Guitar Gently Weeps.
In this version from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Dhani Harrison, and others pay tribute to George Harrison with one of his greatest songs. They’re all good, but they’re not the reason we’ve posted the video here.
That reason would be the face-melting solo that kicks off about the 3:27 mark, delivered by The Purple One himself. I’m not sure how many people thought Prince had such impressive chops. Well he does. Also, he can make a guitar disappear when he’s done with it.
