George Harrison - Cheer Down (Live)

[@stratmad]

Not a single wasted note was ever played when George played slide guitar. He crafts such memorable lines that are lyrical and musical, not to mention having timing, tone and touch in spades. All this and a superb song writer, a gentleman by everyone's account plus a Beatle. We need your spirit, wisdom and music more than ever in this crazy world. You are forever missed.

When they woke me up (and told me that yes, it was indeed cancerous), I was hearing When We Was Fab. Thank you, George, so much. 🎉 Healing from the surgery has gone well and I'm looking at chemo beginning 10/23/2024.

[@silma767]

The second golden age of george

[@jph4852]

I was working in a movie theater when Lethal Weapon 2 was playing. I used to volunteer to clean this theater after every showing ONLY because I got to listen to this song during the credits.

[@mickrabinhe-him-hispronoun6304]

EXACTLY the same thing happened with me. Total shocker. Normally, got up and booked out as the credits rolled, but then this unkonwn song came on with the haunting slide guitar and I stuck around long enough to hear a voice that was unmistakably George. I remember turning to a friend who was there with me and saying "I think this is George Harrison." He shrugged his shoulders becasue that didn't mean anything to him. But to me, it was just pure gold. Stayed til the end of the song and didn't want the song to stop. Went out and searched for it, but the only thing I could find at Tower Records was the incredibly horrible soundtrack to the film which had an utterly forgettable Clapton cover of Knockin' on Heavens Door and an embarassing Beach Boys song that was all Mike and zero Brian (never a good thing). I remember liking the film at the time. . .then I happened upon it about 15 years later on TV and found it almost completely unwatchable. The song was released years later on a "Best of GH Vol 2" collection. Cheer Down is still my fav post-ATMP song by George [and there are a LOT of good songs he wrote after 1970]. In my opinion, this counts as the BEST solo-Beatle recording that almost nobody ever heard of. At least that's the impression I have when I speak with most people who are familiar with the Beatles. They all know Imagine, My Sweet Lord, Gimme Some Truth, Band on the Run, Handle With Care, Jet, It Don't Come Easy, etc. Most have never even heard of this song. . .which is strange as this has nearly 2.5 mil views. Maybe it's finally getting its moment in the sun?

[@JoelUngar]

Amongst the many reason that I love and respect George Harrison, it was his wonderful skills on slide guitar that always captivated me. He plays these sublime melodic lines that cut to the point every single time with 0 notes wasted. Just magical.

[@larrygeetar9309]

90% of his slide work was done in standard tuning, not blues style in open E, D, G, etc. He did play that style but mainly on recordings. It's a testament to his knowledge of the guitar fretboard. By playing in standard pitch, he played those beautiful melodies just as he would have if he were not playing with a slide. He knew the notes and had a wonderful sense of melody. George was rather underrated as a player, especially for slide guitar. His intonation was perfect, his notes were clear, and he understood that slide guitar is just that - sliding. Sounds silly but it's true. George and his instrument were one.

Amo ésta canción, amo a George Harrison.

[@empireentertainmentevents1353]

He is not the most technically gifted guitarist or the fastest shredder in the world...but he is George Harrison. He is a Beatle.... and being a Beatle means his guitar playing and songs have been heard and appreciated by millions and for future generations to come. Cant beat that.

R.I.P George, One of the best guitarist ever ! since the "Fabfour" years, God Bless !

[@Valleilelie]

I miss him, he was so beautifully talented

[@ThinWhiteAxe]

No one plays slide guitar as clean, tasteful, sparing, and as much in service to the song as George Harrison. Trust me, it takes skill to be able to play bottleneck slide as cleanly and with as much control as George.

You are not alone brother.Its called feelings.You have every damn right to share them.I for one am grateful.Its no shame to do that.rip George.

[@innerlight617]

His guitar playing is killing me! What a touch!

[@greteringgaard3528]

Nice slide on this. Thanks Clapton for persuading him to do this tour.

It worked both ways. George was also giving Eric a hand, since he had recently lost his son. Speaks volumes of the kind of relationship they had.

Each of his slide arrangements is unique and carefully thought out and considered. The guy below remarked perfectly in regards to George's slide - no note was wasted. That's exactly how to describe it.

[@avi4767]

Had to see how he played this beast of a song and the fact he perfectly performed it live, and that it's all done with a strat and a pinkie slide is insane.

[@parvenu51]

One of George's best.

[@bretvyon2336]

George had to be the only man who can share a stage with Clapton and be in the centre spotlight for a guitar solo.

No, Mark knopfler too....😎

this was Eric's band and George played in the spotlight ! You can tell how much love and respect these guys have for each other!

Que sentimiento! todo mundo debería conocer esta canción, se estan perdiendo una obra de arte en toda la extensión de la palabra

[@prosperamoscrs2914]

Totalmente de acuerdo...

[@BakuZyto]

Tenés razón 🤗

[@jorgedelacruz1876]

Desde que la escuché como cierre de la película arma mortal2 no salió de mi cabeza, eso fue cuando tenía 9 años, como adolescente la traduje y hoy a mis 40 solo cheer down, en días de incertidumbre como hoy la busco y siento su esencia, no debemos dejar que se pierda, totalmente de acuerdo

[@yamijorge]

Recuerdo haber leído una frase de Eric Clapton en la que decía que el mejor guitarrista slide era George Harrison. Independiente de que la recomendación venga muy de cerca, George era un maestro en el uso del slide (y acá se nota que lo usó con la guitarra en afinación estándar, cosa que es muy complicada de dominar por lo demás).

[@jairosanchez2583]

Al escuchar esta obra de arte, pienso; Valió la pena pasar por este mundo", me eriza la piel esa guitarra, es mágica, este hombre representa al grupo más grande sobre la tierra, the Beatles.

[@greendude27]

grand master of slide guitar!

[@John-kp5vc]

Greatest there was and is.

[@albertopalma1663]

RIP George. You left us too soon. I'm glad your music will stay forever.

Beautiful, magical music, George! I love your slide solos and riffs more than anything and your sweet, matter of fact voice! I love you always! 💜

Cheer down is awesome sounds like a James bond song, got to love e George

[@finch45lear]

Another great track from George. Such a great writer and musician. I'm so glad he did this tour.

[@hollypotthoff2337]

So many of us have wondered why in the world this concert has never been released. It would sell like hotcakes!

[@knowsmebyname]

Good point Jimmy. We are lucky to have this live material. It's one of the many things that was stolen from John Lennon. A chance for a relaxed tour of his solo work.

[@zurdoremi]

Harrison turned out to be the best composer of The Beatles. His music is inspiring, spiritual, everlasting. And his slide guitar playing is fantastic.

[@Alexandria197]

That is the TRUTH! He was the Beatles' lead guitarist, and the lead was always great!

[@galvo_galvo]

It really is, and he did far more than he was credited for on the lads songs in the Beatles. Nor did he want. Lovely soul.

[@turtleflegel6816]

Great, yes. Best composer in the Beatles? Simmer down there, Sparky.

[@Daniel-fz4se]

He always played second fiddle to Paul'but deserved much more exposure 🙄

[@robertbyrne3309]

Very much talented musician pioneer of the Sound of Music
