This week on When Doves Podcast, Jared and Ed get down and way too funky as they dive headfirst into Princeโs legendary โchicken greaseโ scratch guitar style โ the tight, percussive magic that makes your shoulders move before your brain even clocks whatโs happening.
They start by tipping the hat to the OG architects of the groove, breaking down the genius of Jimmy Nolen and Freddie Stone, the unsung heroes who turned rhythm guitar into a full-on rhythmic weapon. Then itโs off to Paisley Park (spiritually, at least) as they track how Prince took that foundation and, across his first eight albums, refined it into something unmistakably his own โ sharp, sexy, and impossibly precise.
Along the way, thereโs plenty of โwait, did you hear THAT?โ moments, a lot of stank-face reactions, and a full-on celebration of the Purple Oneโs funkiest instincts. The episode wraps with the guysโ top 5 Prince tracks where that chicken grease is front and center.
Strap in. Itโs nerdy, itโs greasy, itโs deeply funky. ๐ธ
