Erotic City
by Prince from "the Hits/B-sides"

Intro
Bass
--------------|
---6---4------|
---------6----|
--------------|

Funky guitar – Prince plays a choppy funky riff throughout the intro and verse and 
It would be impossible to replicate every one of his riffs but the trick is to keep the same 
chord in mind. Also, I’m pretty sure this guitar track was speeded up in production a la Camille.

G#7 (x11-10-11-11-11) is the basic chord but he plays different little riffs such as:

Riff 1 (most repeated riff)
--------------------------|
---11------------11-------|
-------11--13-----11------|
--------------------------|
--------------------------|
--------------------------|

Riff 2
---------------------------|
----11h13--13--13p11-------|
----11h13--13--13p11-------|
---------------------------|
