Question about Supernatural

[Bobo 1,220]

For a very long time I've wondered if Prince plays guitar on this curious left-over from the Like a Prayer sessions.

 

And we know from Pat Leonard's Instagram that he had the demo tapes from the Madonna/Prince sessions, so a guitar excerpt could've easily been lifted from those tapes and incorporated into Supernatural. Unless of course the teack itself comes from Madonna and Prince's actual sessions together.

 

I've never read anything about Prince's involvement on the track, but the intro guitar and the general funk of it...just always wondered.

 

Anyone know for sure?

Prince claims EVERYTHING.  If he was involved, it would have been known and noted.

i've always thought it had a prince vibe too. Altho from what ive read they never had any actual sessions together. everything was done over the phone & by mailing tapes back & forth. seems unlikely that he had any input on Supernatural

Thanks guys. Yeah, that's what I read as well, that they never shared studio time and everything was done by Fedex probably :p 

But those guitars on Supernatural, the intro especially...not Pat's usual sound and is so different from their other tracks together. I actually ought to just ask Pat

Supernatural was not mixed by Bill Bottrell like all the other tracks on the album but by Pink Floyd's usual sound engineer James Guthrie whom also did the Cherish extended version
