A partnership was concluded between him and this company. From what appears, this deal included the release by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verizon_(mobile_network) Verizon Wireless] of a new version of the song [[Guitar]] (a different version was posted on [[3121.com]] five and a half months earlier), a visual advertisement in which he would appear and the sponsorship of his residency at the [[Roosevelt Hotel]] in June and July 2006. On [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/May_31|31 May 2007]], the song was made available for free download through [[Exclusive retail partnerships#Verizon Wireless|Verizon Wireless’ VCast program]]. | ||
The Verizon Wireless version of '''Guitar''', directed by Milos Twilight, was most likely shot in May 2007 at S.I.R. in Los Angeles, California. It is a 1:21 clip performance of an edited version of the song (with a shortened introduction, the first verse, a chorus and the guitar solo only). It is a basic performance by [[Prince]] and his band ([[The Twinz]], [[Cora Coleman-Dunham]], [[Joshua Dunham]], [[Renato Neto]] and [[Morris Hayes]]) in front of a totally black backdrop. The performance is interspersed with commercial messages (text only) extolling the functionality of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verizon_(mobile_network) Verizon Wireless] V Cast application which allows to capture information about a song immediately, purchase and download MP3 songs onto the cell phones. The length of the video makes it more than just an advertisement and serves as a cross promotion for his song and the V CAST Song ID application (where this video could be seen). The fact that [[Prince]] was constantly looking for original and alternative ways and new technologies to release music probably explains this partnership. This version of [[Guitar]] was included on the album [[Album: Planet Earth|Planet Earth]] and released as a [[Single: Guitar|single]] in Europe. | The Verizon Wireless version of '''Guitar''', directed by Milos Twilight, was most likely shot in May 2007 at S.I.R. in Los Angeles, California.
