"In 2004 George Harrison was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. "While my Guitar Gently Weeps" was played in tribute by fellow inductee Prince, along with Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, and Dhani Harrison."

This is sweet, especially after watching Jake Shimabukoru jam out like a madman! I think I'll go watch that again.

Can't believe this isn't getting more votes.

maybe some reg sifters took sunday off!!!

Wild to see those three together on stage.

Prince doesn't get anywhere enough credit for being the guitar virtuoso he is, and Petty's new CD is great.

I've also been on an ELO kick lately. Weird.

This is such a transcendent performance, needs promoting - but I'll wait 'till mine has recharged. Where the hell did Prince's guitar go in the end when he threw it in the air?

It really is bad ass. I watch this one periodically, and I am always giving it to people. If I could play 1/100th as well as Prince I could die a happy man.

Wow, Love the song, it's even better with all that talent on one stage.

This performance is great.

This song (forgive me), like stairway to heaven, has an awesome solo that will bring a show and even your home studio something special.

The last time i played was a couple of nights ago and i was practicing the first part of the lead, and i left the room, came back and i could still hear the echo! Truly a special song.

By the way i didn't know prince could play like that, i just thought he was just another pop star. My vote!

Prince is actually something of a guitar god. It's hard to notice because the songs he's famous for, he's not shredding on. Check out his work though, it's phenomenal.

Prince started out as a guitar player, didn't he? I seem to remember buying a very early album of his called "Minneapolis Genius" or something like that... yes: check this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/94_East.

Prince is the most *quality underrated guitarist ever. He's kind of a dick about it, but I'm pretty sure I would be, too. (Also, George Harrison's kid Dhani--the young one on guitar next to Petty--LOVES it.)

One of the most amazing performances ever.

George caught it. >> ^dag:

Where the hell did Prince's guitar go in the end when he threw it in the air?

Wow, I left a comment on this 3 years ago?

Still excellent.

Nah, it went straight to heaven.

Thanks for the promote, hadn't seen this in a while. It's no wonder that Prince is mostly known for his weirdness, but god damn is he one of the best guitarists ever.
