This video took over 5 months to complete! Big thanks to Luke Weber for editing this. What other Harrison songs would you like to hear? I plan on filming many more of his slide guitar songs

I Live For You! (though I think it may have originally been done on lap steel guitar)

[@sampopkin]

@@felicialeone850 that’s one of my favorites. It was on pedal steel guitar. I don’t have one although I have a normal lap steel

[@felicialeone850]

@@sampopkin me too! If you did try to recreate it with a pedal steel alternative, I’m sure you would do it justice. Or you know - it’s a great excuse to get one! 😉

Probably the closest we’ll have to instrumental my sweet lord without George’s vocals, this is officially the best cover there is, Amazing job!!!

[@ManWithNoExpression]

Dang, awesome job man! Guitar stacking sounded just like the song and the Strat tone was great, I’d love to see I’d Have You Anytime

[@ABCFORKIDSCOMEDIAN1998]

You should borrow that autoharp so you can do some Lovin Spoonful songs

Thanks dude! I’m definitely going to cover that and more ATMP songs

[@Belchmaster41]

Badfinger wasn't part of the Lineup at his concert, but Monty Python was. Along with Anoushka Shankar, along with Paul & Eric and George's son, Dhani Harrison and Ringo. along with Jeff Lynne & Billy Preston on the Hammond B3. Billy doesn't come on stage until Paul starts the intro on Isn't It A Pity

This is one badass cover, as a Harrison fan I love this so damn much. The recreation, the efforts, THE EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!

[@Belchmaster41]

actually, you have some of Harrison's story wrong: some of his music wasn't added until the Sitar was used on Rubber Soul.

@@sampopkin always wondered why George went with all those instruments on a tune like that. Obviously sounds great but...holy wow.... What's your guess? Great stuff by the way. 👍

[@beatone2000]

That was just great. I loved this this song when George first released it. You should be proud of what you did here. I can't stop playing it.

[@larrypeek-it7yo]

this video is a masterpiece .i just love how the auto harp comes in and the dual lead slide guitar.phil spector would call this a wall of acoustic guitar sound. Eric Clapton would be jealous

Was introduced to this cover just today. Feels very peaceful to me.
