2652003, I don't really like Prince's lead guitar playing much, though.

That's all there is to it.
I love his rhythm playing. I love his (early 80s) bass playing.
I can filter those from Prince the crooner, the dancer, etc.
His leads just come off kinda rote to me, including the HOF performance. The showmanship of it is awesome, but on a musical level? It's not speaking to me.
Your mileage may vary, though.
BTW I have never heard the likes of Clapton, Vai etc call Prince their favorite guitarist (or one of them)... You have links for that?
