I’m looking for some songs that are basically just someone wailing on a guitar, with little or no lyrics. Something like Hendrix or Eddie Hazel or Bluesy like Shuggie Otis.

What do you recommend?

Prince’s solo on ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps’ at the tribute to George Harrison is both incredible and a masterclass in, well, class. He blows Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne completely out of the water, but doesn’t try to overshadow them while clearly having a good time playing with them, and then quietly leaves so as to not make it about himself.

Start watching at 3:20 for Dhani Harrison’s face. He’s so happy with what’s about to go down:

Watching this right now. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone play so effortlessly before. Prince was taken from us way too soon.
