There have been countless covers of "while my guitar gently weeps" but I think none of them were as flamboyant as the collaboration between Dani Harrison, Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, Jeff Lyne, and of course Prince.

I don't agree with folks saying this is the best guitar solo ever but man does Prince pour his heart and soul into it.

After watching 12tone's analysis of this solo it gave me an all new appreciation for this cover and Prince. Don't get me wrong, before I thought Prince was top 10 now I'd consider his in contention for number 1.
