      Connie, you are not alone! Prince has been a part of me since 1980! I truly miss him (I use to travel every chance I got to his Paisley Park studios to see him!).. we are blessed to still have his music to help us get by this “crazy thing called life”!💜💜💜

    Truly amazing guitar playing. If you didn’t get to see Prince live you missed the best guitarist that ever walked the planet. His body of work speaks 4 itself. What’s so crazy is the vault has even better music then what he released to the public. It’s hard to believe but it’s o’ so true. The world will probably never hear all of his music. Prince was so prolific and an absolute genius and will be 4EVER missed but never forgotten🎸

      Cult thinking, Jimi had been dead for many years before Prince broke into prominence, Prince was 12 years old when Jimi died.

    While u can easily classify other gr8 guitarist as "Legendary, Guitar Gods" or simply "highly skilled shredders"...Prince is the only 1 that falls n2 the 'SUPER BAD @$$ on the AXE 🎸' category!...THEE only 1! (IMO)
