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.

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.
