George did probably the most economical solo ever on 'Got my Mind Set on You' - only three bent notes. Only rivalled by Dave Gilmore on Your Possible Pasts. It's interesting to count the notes a player uses during a solo. Less is usually more!! Might be an interesting theme for a video. How many notes can you get away with playing. I'm sure BB King will be in that one!

George and Ringo both contributed much more than people realize. Ringo was in drumming what George was in guitarmanship w/ the ability to follow, create and perform in any genre that J or P happen to throw at them. It´s very easy to find a groove and play in it all the time and end up sounding the same all the time. Just look at bands like AC/DC, (for example), the best at what they do but they sound the same all the time. The Beatles didn´t just only change rock and roll music but they changed it several times.

George understood melody and always relied on his natural ability to use melody in his guitar work , from the beginning. Actually , some of George's best use of melody does come from the early days . He basically was the Beatle sound .. John was a very clever guitarist .. but George helped so many of their songs with his ability to push a song in the direction he knew it needed to go .. And he also had fun on his songs , like "I want to tell you" , the guitar work in the song is relatively easy , but it works in a way that others weren't incorporating in rock music .. his work on all Beatle songs is ingrained in everyone's ears... As it should be

George's quick change fretting of extremely difficult chord shapes on super uptempo numbers was god-tier level. And his picking on everything was machine precision. He was better in these two areas at 19 than most people get in a lifetime. And he didn't just do it in his bedroom. He did it with a screaming horde in his face and a billion people watching on live tv.

He played and explored ever style of music; country, R & B, Blues, Rock, Classical etc. Also singlehandedly introduced the electric 12 string Rickenbacker into pop music (Rodger McGuinn said that George changed his life). Nylon string, steel string acoustic if it had strings he played it. I believe Paul McCartney said that if you take a Beatle song and remove George’s solos, fills, licks etc. the songs fall apart. He also played a incredible slide solo on Alvin Lee’s “The Bluest Blues.” Please consider covering the slide for; “Isn’t It a Pity,” “Cheer Down,,” “Beware of Darkness” (personal favorite) “Give me Love.”

Jeff Lynne stated in no uncertain terms that, "George was the BEST slide player ever because of his subtle approach and the unique tone." A lot of slide players try to sound like Duane or EC or Walsh or Felder or... and many of them really sound a lot like those guys. George wasn't interested in sounding like anyone but himself. His tone and subtle sound is instantly recognizable. Nobody else sounds like that! George was a very skilled guitarist and most certainly the best all-around guitarist in the Beatles.

George's best instrument wasn't ever used on any Beatles recordings. He was a ukelele player. George Formsby was huge in the UK and Harrison was obsessed with it. That's why Paul does a ukelele version of George's Something in his concerts. But, yeah he was a much underrated guitar player. Yesrs ago as an exercise I went through the Beatles's catalog and figured out alot of the George parts. Came away with a profound respect. In the early days he was economical and always interesting. In All My Loving he lays a Carl Perkins lift over top of the rhythm track. As incongruous as it would seem it was perfect. The sitar part on Norwegian Wood defined the song. Later on as his confidence and frustration grew his parts remained definitive and creative. All Things Must Pass is a great album finally allowing him full creative license. It demonstrates that he had good reason for his frustration. It's my sense is that the reason there was never a reunion project was George's unwillingness to slip back into a secondary, utilitarian role. Rightfully so.

The Slide guitar on Day after Day by Badfinger is played by Harrison , I think is one of the best slide guitar ever played ; it´s a masterpiece ; Pilgrim would you please upload it ? . The song was recorded in June 1971 and became a hit in February 1972

I was waiting for this for a long time. Hope you make another one on songs like any road and marwa blues from George's last album

Cheerdown, stuck inside a cloud and rising sun. His slide work is out of this universe
