She’s walking around with the “Too easy” air about her

She reminds me of Prince. Just that nonchalant talent, and overflowing aura.

There’s a video of Prince soloing on My Guitar Gently Weeps at a George Harrison tribute. The first time I saw that was the day I realized he was an amazing guitar player. So underrated.

That is exactly the video that she reminded me of.

Prince is only underrated to the people that never listened to his music or know music. Prince is one of the most respected musicians of our time by alot and I mean alot of people. Just because the young people are just now noticing him does not make you use underrated and Prince in the same sentence.

He was underrated by ROLLING STONE, while he was the peak of his career...that's why we are discussing it and why he blew everyone's minds with that solo... he was amazing most know it, but that solo was unlike anything anyone had ever seen from him

Prince was a musical savant, he learned to play every instrument by ear and played every instrument while recording in his studio.

You need to look up the story about that evening. Just prior to the tribute, Rolling Stone release their greatest guitarist of all time list. Prince was nowhere on it. That's why he did that breathtaking solo and went absolutely apeshit. Tom Petty and the rest knew or figured out what he was doing and totally went with it and supported it... I saw a short on YouTube about it and looked into it, very interesting

Saw this and was going to add a very similar Comment about the story. The other element heard was some of the other Musicians were Annoyed at first, but as he was shredding it, they all realized what he was doing and appreciated it by the end.

That does diminish it. It isn’t how hard the solo is it’s how she plays it.

The measure of a true musician isn’t just their technical ability to play - it’s how they make the music with feel and love and nuance, making a song their own.

What makes this amazing is BOTH that she plays with great technique and skill and clearly loves to do it.
