      It really is insane when you look at the individual lives of each and how along the way they contributed so much to the world of music. Then plop them on one stage and let them bring it. Those three were all young and ambitious starting out just hoping to make a living making music they love. Three careers later and three lives lost, and the collective of what they contributed is off the charts.

    This was the induction of George Harrison, as a solo artist, into the Rock And Roll Hall of fame. George passed away in 2002. His son Dhani Harrison is the young man with dark hair next to Tom. Check out The Traveling Wilbury’s, a supergroup of friends George Harrison, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Bob Dylan, and Roy Orbison. They put out two albums. Prince was also inducted that night.

    The story goes that Rolling Stone had left Prince off the 50 greatest guitar players of all time list they had recently run. (He ranked a laughable 33rd on their 2011 list). And he was indignant. No one knows for sure, but most people around him figure he had plans to make them eat their words.
    Prince shows up and is a very late last minute addition to the set. Tom Petty figures well, shit, since we have Prince, we may as well give him a solo.
    During rehearsals, Jeff Lyne's guitar player steps in and does both the middle solo and the end solo. He plays Eric Clapton's solos (who had done the solo work on The White Album original version) basically note for note. Impressive stuff, really. But it's just some dude playing note for note. Whatever.
    So the producer approaches Prince and tells him they'll give him the final solo and talk to the guy. Prince says "don't worry about it" and walks off. He barely did anything in rehearsals.
    Then they get to the live show and Prince is off to the side playing rhythm guitar flawlessly like always. Totally invisible. You wouldn't even know he's there.
    Then he steps up and absolutely goes off. He went way above and extra basically to stick it to Rolling Stone for being left off their miserable list.
    Many people consider Prince the best rhythm guitarist in history. One of the reasons people don't know him as a masterful guitarist is because he was legendary by almost everyone as a rhythm guitarist with his band.
    But if you watch his live shows, the guy could shred with the best of them. He's been named by many musical critics and musicians as the greatest guitarist since Hendrix. As one musician put it once Prince is so good at guitar that he's convinced the world he's not that good while still being just good enough to matter.
    What really shines in this performance is not just his shredding. It's not just that he goes through at least 4 or 5 distinct styles of music in his solo. Or that he uses multiple methods from picking to strumming to tapping and beyond. What really sets this apart is that every single note, every single flourish, every single thing he does sits both within the song and outside it at the same time. His solo here never seems out of place like so many solos do. It feels like it fits the song, and, indeed, it flows with the melody of the song. But at the same time, there's no doubt that it's something new and brave and wonderful. It's not safe. It's way out there. But it's also right in the pocket.
    All without a single moment of band rehearsal.
    And Rolling Stone ranked him 33rd. psshhhh

    During his heyday, only Prince fans knew he was a Hendrix level guitarist. Except other guitarists. They knew. That's why all these much older legends gave him center stage at the end. Also, While my Guitar Gently Weeps.. to have such a kick ass and soulful solo.. isn't that the best tribute to Harrison?

    Prince, no matter where he falls on the list of greatest guitarists of all time, there is no question he was a great one! That said, what was truly remarkable about Prince, the artist and musician, is the fact that he a multi-instrumentalist, song-writer/composer, mixer, producer. When it came to music, he could literally do it all. So prolific, there are vaults full of music he’s written that the world still has yet to hear. Then there was Prince the man, who secretly, silently was extremely passionate about his charitable work, but didn’t want it to be known. I was a rocker teen in the 80s and liked some of Prince’s songs and admired all the sexy women he seemed to never have a shortage of seemingly at his disposal, for lack of a better term. I knew he could play guitar and write songs, but when it came to the lead work in Let’s Go Crazy, for example, seeing the video, I questioned whether or not that was really him. I had never seen him live at that point, so I just wasn’t sure the little pop star could actually shred like that. It wasn’t until later that I came to fully appreciate and admire all he truly was and not only as a guitarist. Nothing short of brilliant. PS- search YT for Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top talking about Prince the guitarist. Interesting story!

    Word on the street is that some of the performers didn't want Prince involved, so he was not invited to rehearsals until Tom Petty intervened. Prince told Petty to save some time for him at the end of the final performance, which he did. Notice the interaction between Prince and Petty. There's some non-verbal "sticking it to them" facial expressions going back and forth between them.

Plus there is a short documentary video that shows all the behind the scenes and the build up to the show.

This also came at a time when Prince wasn't happy about being excluded as one of Rocks greatest guitarists. He believed he never truly got the recognition he deserved on that front.

I believe Steve Winwood was also a friend of George's. The young guy on the stage playing guitar was George's son Dhani. Prince was there because he was also inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that year. It was kind of a last-minute decision for Prince to join this performance, but Prince was a big fan of George, so he wanted to do it.

    I had the pleasure of seeing Prince on multiple occasions, from concerts like the Lovesexy Tour to impromptu jam sessions at little night clubs where he would show up and just have fun.
    The Lovesexy Tour concert was the second best concert I ever seen just behind Earth, Wind & Fire. Prince came out on stage driving a 67 Thunderbird convertible. It was a great concert.
    I never understood why Prince never really went off on guitar on his albums but you can hear it in different songs.
    The Isley Brothers are another guitar heavy group that you wouldn't expect. Seriously, just listen to Go For Your Guns, Voyage To Atlantis and the like. They are heavy.

    The original recording by the Beatles was done while they were getting on each other’s nerves. George was stopping by Eric Clapton’s house that morning to give Clapton a ride into the city. On the way, George asked Clapton if he’d play a solo on this song. Clapton initially said “Oh no, the others wouldn’t like that.” George said “Ah, don’t worry about that. You’re my friend and I want you to play the solo on my song.” When they walked into the studio the other Beatles (seeing Clapton) were on their best behavior. George informed the other’s that Clapton was going to play on his song. And that’s that.

He formed the band traffic with dave Mason. . Jeff Lynne formed the band electric light orchestra in the 70s. Tom petty formed tom petty and the heartbreakers in the 70s. Of course you know prince. And playing acoustic in the background was George's son.

    Glad to see somebody finally got around to seeing that. This was at the R&R Hall of Fame. The song was a tribute to George Harrison who wrote it. That's George's son playing next to Tom Petty (RIP). Prince came out and did what he did. He showed off and showed out. He played some gamesmanship with the other players when he faced them and had his guy push hime back up (same guy catches his guitar walk-off). Some years later, Harrison's son, Dahni, expressed that Prince was putting it in their faces (which is what he WAS doing). That's the coldest Pimp-walk off EVER.

    This is one of my favorite Prince moments. It is the George Harrison Tribute for his induction into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. I believe that Rolling Stone had also come out with its 50 Greatest Guitarists of all Time and Prince wasn't on the list. So he showed them. I love how they are all smiling at each other and the sheer joy on Dhani's face at being on stage with these amazing guitarists. If I need to lift my spirits I watch this clip.

    This was a tribute concert for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Jeff Lynne was from Electra Light Orchestra and played with George Harrison as was Tom Petty (from the Heartbreakers and Traveling Wilburys). Steve Winwood is a legend. He was a 17 y.o. prodigy when he joined "Buffalo Springfield" ("For What it's Worth"). You know him. He was good friends and a pupil to Jimi Hendrix. He had some success into the 80's as a solo artist with "Higher Love" with Chaka Khan. Anyway, yeah, Prince was the King and is in my book.

    Hopefully a new generation of musically inclined youth watch these videos and decide to pick up a guitar or hit the drums. Nothing beats the spirit of music played with real instruments, live on stage, as it were.
    I love the looks between Prince and Tom Petty, Petty gives him the nod "yeah, give it another go" until they eventually wrap it up in unison. Experienced musicians who have rehearsed together obviously. RIP to Prince and Tom Petty.
    As for Princes legacy, he is a legend as a writer, creator and guitarist. I don't know about ranking, but I know that the best compliments come from other musicians themselves and Prince is VERY highly regarded. I never forget a compliment one artists gives another as it says something about both talents.
    Prince is a product/fan of other great musicians such as Bob Seger, who he said influenced him to write Purple Rain when he went to one of Segers concerts and saw the crowds reaction to some "anthems" and he knew he needed to write an anthem too (that turned out to be Purple Rain).
    In turn, Bob went to Princes concert and was awestruck by his talent. When talented musicians take time to watch you AND respond it says something about both musicians. There are plenty of well known musicians who have praised Princes talent.

    I always gave Prince props from the start, saw Purple Rain and all but this still blew me away how he interpreted the solo on this. I also was further impressed by the man as I learned more about him. Steve Winwood is underrated IMO despite his accolades. He is such a key piece of the music of the 70's and later. His bands, his solo work, his guitar cords and of course his WORLD CLASS voice. I have him akin to Joni Mitchell in voice for a male. Jeff Lynne ELO is mind blowing good, so many hits! Tom Petty....Prince....gone too soon legends! and to have Georges son on stage to witness and be a part of it all - heart warming!

    My first introduction to Prince was in the late 1970's (I think), and it was all guitar, and I was impressed. I also made the presumption that he was a quitarist first, then when he got really popular, it was more dancy. I think he's a fantastic guitarist. From what I gather, this performance was shortly after Rolling Stone magazine posted their top 100 guitarists, and Prince didn't make the list. I think this was his 'salute' to Rolling Stone magazine that he is truly an amazing guitarist.
