I've always loved this solo. It's one of the most distinctive guitar solos of all time. I hate when "Let it Be" comes on the radio and it's the one with the other solo.

it's just a typical blues solo, the one with the leslie is far more befitting of the beatles, and has a the proper delicate touch for such a delicate song. Phil Spectors wall of sound also muddied the intimate nature of the song.

I remember when I first heard this guitar solo as a kid I was blown away about how much it sounded different than most any other Beatles guitar solo. Clearly, Eric‘s influence was shining through and if you ask me, it’s George’s best solo ever.

Peter Jackson's film had a stunning moment for me, that was when Paul came into the studio and started randomly hammering out things on his bass looking for an inspiring riff ... and then out came Get Back. George & John realize some gold nugget is coming and their ears perk up. John then shows up later and immediately jumps in. Truly an epic moment caught on film. I think you nailed the tone for Let It Be, nice! Very sorry to hear of your loss Chris.

Before Peter Jackson resurrected the dead from those let it be 16 mm very low resolution film he was approached would you like to get involved in a completely artificial intelligence project and he said I’m on board the reason the movie was never released because it showed them in their final days of hating The Paul McCartney character and he didn’t want people seeing how horrible they really got along let it be showed them in the best possible light they could get out of the film that was a shot were used ,the other stuff was not salvageable everything people saw on Disney’s get back series was artificial intelligence none of it happened it was all artificial intelligence fabricated it never happened re-creating a false history they want to have the Beatles as some kind of iconic legend I know for a fact because I know people involved going back to the days when they were created going back to when they were sent to Germany to learn how to play four chords on the guitar Chuck Berry songs they continued to play until Final tour in August 1966 they didn’t play anything off of revolver rubber soul, people want to believe what they wanna believe they wanna believe the Cinderella story of the Beatles. they we’re a vocal group as the first album stated

He was being descriptive of his own style (and what it wasn't). He was good at the concise pop solo. He wasn't a jam band, noodling-type, or even blues player. That's why he didn't heavily feature his guitar playing in the seventies when the latter styles came more into fashion. Even in the late sixties, around te time of Hendrix emeging on the scene, he moved away from the instument (e.g. bringing in Clapton for "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," a solo totally not in his style).

I wouldn’t call that “unbelievable humility”, I’d call it being honest with oneself, and not having a selfish, all about ‘me’ outlook, as is so prevalent today. There’s nothing worse than a guitarist who thinks he’s great, and everyone but himself cringes when he plays. This scenario is more common today than ever. Even the hackers think they’re the greatest players these days. Just look at KZbin videos! “Instruction” video after video where they’re playing songs wrong while supposedly “teaching”. And the worst of it is most KZbin “teachers” have never been properly taught themselves. Yet they feel so great about their playing ability, they actually feel qualified to “teach”! All be it incorrectly.

No, I think this has nothing to do with humility (see the part where he storms out and says they need Clapton not him, which is clearly a disingenuous read on the situation). His parts traditionally are laboriously poured over, and he’s contrasting that with Clapton’s ability to improvise…Harrison, for all his clout as a guitarist, was never an improviser.

I agree. The emphasis these days seems to be on shredding. Not that shredding isn't a valuable skill. In fact, many classical musicians and composers were shredders. But speed is not always the thing which helps expression and sometimes actually stymies expression. The fact that most young aspiring guitarists seem to gravitate to metal shredding more than to appreciate the beauty of simplicity which often takes as much genius to produce as high energy onslaughts of notes. And, Chris, you have my sincere sympathy for your loss. I love your style and insights.

I think you nailed it. Well done! When you said "two solos", I initially thought you were referring to George's solo and George's outro, as the outro is as sublime as the solo, in my opinion. As far as solos go, while it's not showy it's very melodic and is right up there with the greatest. Let It Be was Paul at his vocal prime, with George and Ringo lifting the song to great heights. Sorry for your loss bro.

¡Gracias, chabón! 🙏 I personally adore this solo being recognised for how greater I feel it is compared to all the amazing angles George took on it. After Naked, it seemed it was trendy to pelt Spector's, but not only I grew fond of it as the only version available during my childhood, but still after hundred bootlegs I continued to find this the best solo of all them (same with the strings on The Long and Winding Road: just humble opinions). On a different note, I find it subliminally gratifying that you guys put 5 minute segments of content in continuous footage, not having to rely on unnecessary cuts, and wish youtubers putting 5 edits together for a 12 word sentence would watch it, just saying. Being someone who got his passion for both playing music and listening to The Beatles from my dad, I celebrate the love with which your father shared with you these fantastic feelings.

Every aspect of this is so cool! I never knew that this last solo by George was the actual final recording of the Beatles! (so poignant!). Did I understand that correctly? It’s fascinating how you sleuthed this tone , aka Chris ‘Holmes’. What a great treat to take in with my feet up and dogs laying around at the end of a good week at the violin shop. Thanks Chris, exceptional, Here’s to you Dory 🥂

The Abbey Road sessions were still to come, so it wasn't quite the last recording.

I believe the last Beatles recording session was the recording of I Me Mine, by George, Paul and Ringo. John wasn't present. The session was required because the "Let it Be" directors had decided to use the song in the movie.

@@yernotthebossofme1062 That's right, and the version of I Me Mine on Let It Be, Naked includes George's spoken intro in which he jokes about John's absence while referring to an old Merseybeat-era band.

I would describe that "album" solo as deeply soulful and feelingful, not "biting and aggressive." George is rising to the feeling of the song as a whole. I think it's one of his very best solos. The solo on the single was meandering with little commitment. He hasn't yet found his voice in the song. It's a testament to George that he wasn't satisfied with the single solo and returned to it to deliver a beauty.

I think you’re spot on you got it! You can tell by the end of the solo that it is indisputably Georges with that vibrato, it’s unmistakable! I think he did get into playing in the more aggressive tone and style on Abbey Road. In fact, there’s a few sections on you never give me your money where he plays similar licks, that slide into notes and bends. Also, on the intro solo he does on I want you. (She’s so heavy), it’s his only solo on that song the rest of it is LENNON. GREAT JOB.

The album solo is the best guitar solo I have ever heard in my life. I have studied it so very closely, I have listened to it dozens and dozens of times. It is a master work. It has a spirituality that can't be expressed in words, a time stopping depth of soul.

I had to go back and listen cu I thought you were just showing pics of George, but it was your mix and his comparison. The first time I couldn’t tell the difference. The second I could but only because I knew what was going on, they sounded identical tho!!! On a side note, Chris, I’m so sorry about your father! I’m lucky, like you, that my dad is my best friend as well as the best dad I could’ve ever asked for, and I cannot imagine life without him. Idk how you are doing as well as you are. I’m sure we are only seeing the good points, but even so! I’m getting choked up rn just thinking about my dad passing. Thoughts and prayers to you, bro. Seriously!
