Hmm.  We wonder where it was recorded with Andy on tour with Prince.  Backstage?  On stage?  In a studio?  Aww, who cares!  As long as we get to hear it.  Check out Prince and Andy performing an acoustic version of "Guitar" below!

  1. A father daughter duet. How cute!

  2. Everything about this is WEAK, except Prince’s guitar playing. Why is she in the band?

  3. Hmmm sounds like a night on the couch kidding around.

  4. Thanks for the photocredit!

  5. Oh dear, this is trash, my ears… Oh NO!! :-(

  6. Prince is funny and still alive!

  7. Perhaps, this song was recorded in a bluedark Van, while they were waiting on something!

  8. Nice, they look in Love and they both love their Guitar more, so that’s no problem. She is a bit young but who knows, how about a Prince Rogers Nelson the 3rd. I was at North Sea Jazz, but I had no Prince ticket, I saw him in Rome already, so I don’t know Andy Allo, she looks like an entertainer too, I’m almost tempted to go to the show on july 26th in Ahoy

  9. sounds it’s recorded on a smartphone

  10. Prince needs to get back to some real music, this is awful! Stop putting the very very very young girlfriend out front and do what Prince has always done, play the best music. I would be pissed if I were the other actual musicians in the band that his plaything is getting all the spotlight.

  11. Thanks PRINCE, Andy and the good doc. The rest in here.. Best to chill. The world is f-ed up enough as it is..

  12. … sounds like a demo and I don’t mind. *smile*

  13. Mathew 22:36-40

  14. Prince needs to open his own museum where people go to see Prince visuals(concert footage, videos, etc.) and hear Prince’s unreleased recordings; $25 to walk in gets you a non-copyable recording, a Prince gift shop could sell everything imaginable…a Prince hotel/restaurant complex nearby… Name the place “Prince’s Vault” or something more transcendent. How about a related tv program: Prince’s Music School; where Prince could teach children how to write and play music…and he could partner with Google for a website that shows and plays whatever Prince wanted, and they could block “copying features”. Prince thinks big, very big, now he needs to think bigger.

  15. Why does this sound like a Toys R Us commercial? “I don’t wanna grow up, I’m a Toys R Us kid, so many games at Toy R Us that I can play with….” Lame. What happened to the man, the musician.

  16. Hey Prince! It’s time to start living up to your name.

  17. I enjoyed the original version and the guitar on here is cool, but WHY? I could do without this version. Thank you for sharing though. To each his own, do what cha like Prince, but I think your admires can do without this version. Thank you.

  18. I like it, I think it’s cute. I like her voice.

  19. damn yall complain so much no matter what and u wonder y prince dont deal with putting his music online yall bitch about everything no matter what this is just a fun version of the song nothing he wants 2 b nominated 4 a grammy just a little something shut the hell up and enjoy or die

  20. Not a good recording but a good version.

  21. She is really inspiring Prince. He seems smitten over her. I wonder what is next?

  22. Are some of you slow? This is a recording of an old P tune that sounds like it was just done off the cuff to have some fun. Do some of you think this is a new release? Are we really that slow?

  23. I think its nice and its cute… He’s teaching her so much… When she’s done with him she’ll have seen so much and learned so much that she would never have otherwise. Very few people are so fortunate to be able to spend so much time with a master outside of his (normal) band.

  24. I DIG IT VERY COOL KEEP IT COMIN

  25. Wow, lighten up people! He and Andy were clearly just messing around, having some fun. And you wonder why he is hesitant to release totally finished stuff out there?!?! I think it’s a fun, little number. They’re having fun, sharing it with us. Stop being so picky and critical, please! Thanks Andy for sharing it!

  26. Sbacon1999, I agree with you. Some of these fans get so twisted and full of envy, and throw unnecessary hate to any female musician who perform on stage with Prince. It’s just two artists having fun with their music ppl…get over it!

    I thank Andy for posting this on her FB page and for funkenberry as well for posting about it.

  27. Musicians play music because it’s fun. There doesn’t need to be a purpose to pick up an instrument and jam with a friend.

  28. I think this is adorable.

  29. Out of all the super talented female singer/ guitar players who work hard and excel at their craft he chose to showcase this girl? There is nothing “adorable” about it. He is not thinking with the right body part. She aint even fine like Vanity fine, she is cute like his daughter or something.

  30. Wake me up when he has found a new muse. How about listening to a White Stripes album and blasting out some innovative guitar music.

  31. that was ur scream btw..ohh! 2 cute. indie jam here.

  32. Not good!

  33. Come on Prince Fans…..Prince likes to have fun too! It’s his song and I’m glad to hear him kick back and play around. Also, he must have given Andy the okay to place this on her Facebook page. I’m happy! You should be too!

  34. Master Classes!

  35. It flat-out sucks. :-(

  36. @brotherlylove Are u insinuating that he doesn’t? He epitomizes whole heart, soul, mind, Love 4 Jehovah from what I see. It has always been his M.O. to mentor musically and spiritually. Do u witness to everybody at work? He does! Matthew 6:33 and yeah I know it’s seems it’s mostly beautiful women, but hey don’t they deserve to live 4ever 2?

    I know I’m always defending him, but man weren’t we just going over again how important the musicians were to God in Davids day etc. the stringed instruments are always mentioned. NO he doesn’t love it more than the one who gave it! it’s just a song dude chill. He’s more humble and loving than alot of shepards I’ve met. No he shouldn’t be expected to drop it all and open a taco stand, I mean really it is his job, and he could be doing and making soooo much more if he didn’t love Jah and put him first. Oh yeah and straws n rafters n stuff.

  37. PRINCE AND HIS FEMALES…YOU KNOW HOW THAT GOES…..IF YOU’RE A REAL PRINCE FAN THEN YOU KNOW HOW HE OPERATES…@ LEAST HE LOVES TO HAVE THEM BY HIS SIDE…REMEMBER TAMAR…NOW IT’S ANDY…THEY LOOK AND SOUND GOOD TOGETHER…SO GIVE THEM A BREAK WILL YA!… :D

  38. Good for Andy but for the life of me I don’t understand why Prince didn’t do something like this for Bria Valente. I guess he promotes each girl differently however it suits his needs at a particular time he’s promoting his CDs or concerts. It’s a win-win situation for all I suppose.

  39. Oh Lawd. She is wearing his ear cuffs and on her facebook there is a picture of her with a MOLE on her left cheek> HA!

    Seriously Andy, don’t lose your identity. He will try to mold you to fit into his own little fantasy world, not to help you but to help himself. If you want a real career, do you.

  40. Very Nice!

  41. @harmony – I agree with you. I think when the tour is over Andy Allo will become a Jehovah’s Witness and start giving strange interviews. Too bad because I liked her personality the way it was.

  42. sounds nice!

  43. Love prince voice!

  44. Very cool!! Thx for posting this.. Wish I could hang with Prince!!

  45. Yeah… I wanna hang with Prince. He seems to be very cool and a fun guy.

  46. Hmm… IDK how I feel about Andy. But I’m tired of Prince whoring these young ass leggy light skinned big hair having females that play a string instrument. He seems to pick the females that won’t out shine him on stage and in the studio. She has average talent, nothing to gas over. She’ll be out of the picture in no time, just wait… it always happens. He doesn’t stay with one for too long. Who wants to take bets on how long it will last? lol

  47. If she makes him money he’ll keep her around but if not he’ll be on to the next PYT on the come up. If we make bets he’ll marry her just to spite his fans. The latest is him and Andy wearing inked hearts on their ring fingers. Could this be a sign for those who think they look like father and daughter? There’s two pictures floating around with Prince slyly giving his critical fans the finger. Prince said no more candy but he’s still trying to shove his latest eye-candy with a bad ankle down our throats. lol

  48. Saw Andy Allo at NSJ, she’s great fun. You gotta love her.

  49. This is directed at the negative people posting here.
    Listen, I am the first to criticize Prince but please. This is just two people kicking it and messing around musically.  Blessing us with the opportunity to here their fun. Why don’t you view some of your own Facebook posts and see some of the things you posted thinking it was cool, or funny or the shit. As for Prince having this girl or that girl hanging around his band getting attention so the F what!  It’s HIS band…HIS band and he doesn’t work 4 ne 1 but himself. So if he wants to have a bunch of fruit loop gorillas as his band with free willy on the bass, so the F what.  As long as it jams and we are granted the chance to see his performance.  Remember, he doesn’t have to tour. And he doesn’t need to release new music.  That is all done for us, including the incredible menagerie of hypercritical, judgmental whiners here. Just enjoy the spontaneous expression they chose to share with us..because if it’s that bad go out and do better…which ain’t gonna happen.
    Whendovescry2000 has clarified the ignorance with words purified.

  50. If it sucks, it sucks and people will be honest about their opinion. He released it and + or – feedback will result. I guess we know who is drinking the Koolaid round heya defending this recording. He is gonna mess things up for HER by pushin his latest fling up front just because he want to get in them drawers. She is average singer and average guitar player on stage with some top notch musicians. She is gonna get outshined and outplayed every gig. Her vibe is small indie club, hippie clothes and no makeup. He is manipulating her into his world in front of our eyes. People will lose respect for her as an artist and she will go down as another notch on his belt. Career over and done. SHE should see the signs and run!

  51. @tryintohelpthegurl
    Does it really matter? This is her life so what. She has more exposure here Thayer ne where else, and besides talent only goes so far. If your concern has such magnitude, post it on her site or Facebook page.

  52. Does she know to play guitar?….we know the rest

  53. Who’s jellis? Not me! Ok, a little. This is whimsical little outtake, wish I was a fly on that wall!

  54. As a prince fan since the 80′s can i say … Quit fucking around Prince.
    Put “The Revolution” back together before somebody dies. Bobby Z was a wake up call. I just finished watching Birthday Celebration from 86′, those were the days.
    You need to put the pieces back together on that rear view mirror and get back to that place. Loved the Sonny T & Mike B days but the Revolution was the gel. Let us not forget Mr Nelson you always preach its about the music. Nothing wrong with you writing a song for the bangels but you didn’t have a bangel in your band!!
    You raped me in your welcome to america tickets at $500 plus for floor level seats. I’d pay double that to see The Revolution. You wait too long & we will all miss out.
    Quit messin around man and get it together.

  55. And as for this recording … As Simon Cowell would say, “I think you have to judge everything based on your personal taste. And if that means being critical, so be it. I hate political correctness. I absolutely loathe it.”

    So subjectively speaking, for me its not that great.
    When you play with this monster you better bring it or go home. Hell don’t even show up.

    Not rushing off to rip this. Better go back to digging in my crates for some real P music.

  56. this seems like they are just fooling around….why are people being too deep. lawd.
