“I jammed with Prince once, and he was like, ‘What is that effect you have on your guitar?’ I said, ‘Nothing.’ He couldn’t believe it”: Lenny Kravitz on the time he blew Prince’s mind with his guitar tone

“I jammed with Prince once, and he was like, ‘What is that effect you have on your guitar?’ I said, ‘Nothing.’ He couldn’t believe it”: Lenny Kravitz on the time he blew Prince’s mind with his guitar tone

Kravitz's straight-into-the-amp setup – which has been at the core of his sound for most of his career – left pedal fan Prince with his jaw on the floor

@jasonmashak I think Kravitz’ songs are just so-so. But he is a phenomenal performer and technician.

When he plays his songs, they’re amazing. But it also makes him impossible to cover without losing a lot of quality. He’s one of a kind.

@Hyounpark I agree, and I think he hit his peak mid-90s. I saw him live around ‘92 or ‘93 (Blind Melon opened), and it was an excellent show… but I wasn’t as impressed with his songwriting in later years.
