I think the guitar solo on Purple Rain has to be one of the greatest guitar solos ever...somewhere up there with the solo on Hotel California (at least to me anyway). I also love the chord progression.
I hope I can someday bring the fire to my solos the way Prince did with Purple Rain. It seems as though he could say a lot with just a few notes, but still had the chops to spit out lead arpeggios like they were machine gun bullets. Incredible talent!
RIP Prince.
