Wah Wah- George Harrison (Guitar Cover)

[@E.Claptonn]

This has got to be one of the best George Harrison songs.

[@zharifothman9431]

It sure is one of the best songs of all times

[@braith5214]

100% agreed, since the first listen it’s had a grip on me like no other, that riff is TOO fkn good man

[@ryanseaver4842]

way too underrated. the clapton wah wah pedal and george on the slide is unmatchable.

[@BeardOfRed]

I just discovered this one two days ago unintentionally! Best thing ever!!! Paw Paw is a die hard beatles fan, and he raised me. So I grew up loving the music of the 50s - 70s. I've played this every bit of 20 times every day. I'm really anxious for my daughters to get home from their weekend with Paw Paw so I can pull this one up to jam out with.

[@crazyantny9161]

For God's sake, Peter Frampton went totally uncredited on All Things Must Pass. Most lively because he was still with Humble Pie. There was an interview that I'm sure exists somewhere that I saw in the 70s. George said to Peter, play the lead on WahWah. Peter started the interview by saying that he tried hiding and playing low in the background. George stopped the song and told him at that very point. It's amazing that now, years later, hes listed in wiki when most never knew that info til the internet age. So, what are the chances that he played on any song in general or what he did? Clapton was obvious one of the other players. This is the same as the Beatles, lol. Till this day, parts are still argued over. George liked giving people a chance to shine and took the back seat quite often as a result. Peter was and still is a terrific musician, not just a guitarist. Heres a footnote. Peter Drake used the talk box to tune his pedal steel. Peter became taken by the talkbox. So much so that we all here it on the comes alive album. Joey was also pretty good with the guitar. If there was a question as to playing on a song, they surely would favor Eric first and George second. I'm not arguing this point. It is simply from an old interview that I recalled as a boy

[@evyalley]

FINALLY! The riff is addictive. I am thoroughly impressed considering Phil Spector’s mess 😅

[@IanJudge]

Exactly!!!

[@MrMariofan109]

that's why the 2020 mix is the best!!!! no more wall of sound thanks to dhani and paul hicks :)

[@evyalley]

@@MrMariofan109 yep! I love that mix so much! I can actually listen to it really loud and still have my hearing by the end 🥲

[@stukawarner4051]

Yeah I know sometimes you can’t hear George’s guitar like on “awaiting on you all “ I had to look up where it’s isolated, it’s a nice chord progression

[@sampopkin]

[@MooEinstein]

George Rocky's opening rhythm, Clapton's Wah and George's slides work and that solo that screams like a big band Horns and Saxophones, it's so Bombastic like Headache, Love It.

[@crazyantny9161]

Clapton DID NOT PLAY THE WAH WAH....surpise, it was Peter frampton

[@MooEinstein]

​@@crazyantny9161 any sources? also Clapton playing the Wah on "Art Of Dying", you can hear his tone and his style, Frampton plays more acoustic guitars then electric on this album

[@sampopkin]

@@crazyantny9161 according to Mal Evan’s session notes from May 28 1970- George and Eric played electric, Pete ham/Joey molland/Tom Evans played acoustics. Frampton was not on this song

[@MooEinstein]

@@sampopkin when can i find his sessions notes?

[@MooEinstein]

@@sampopkin also Mal's birthday was the day before

[@Jason.Brayshaw]

That riff is killer. Awesome.

[@michellesmith1719]

This is one of the best things I have ever seen on the internet.

[@marceloz7894]

YES

[@beatlesrcool13]

This is by far the most accurate Wah-Wah cover that I have ever heard. I don't know how to do it, but you can capture the exact sounds as in recordings. Happy Playing!

[@DRguitar918]

It’s about time someone on here has done this song justice! Nicely done Sam!!

[@sampopkin]

Thanks Dom!

[@RockinAllDay]

I realize that the point in the name "Wah-Wah" is that there's a "wah-wah" sound, but it DOMINATES the song.

[@NitroUnity]

The George Harrison album is a classic but can’t forget about Wah Wah, great cover as always.

[@purpleduke77]

Can’t stop watching this , I’m amazed at how the guy as got every part down to perfection , even the guitar sounds are bang on. Well done Sam .

[@sampopkin]

Cheers!

[@iwerning]

A choir of 6 beautiful guitars! This masterfully brought out the genius of this song!

[@braith5214]

appreciate you showing the inlay of the wah pedal dude, makes it way easier to finally learn in full!

[@Snaggle1975]

There’s so much going on in this song, hats off to you for pulling off such a fantastic performance of it. Thanks also for giving us an insight into the song and it’s construction.

[@sampopkin]

Appreciate it!

[@purpleduke77]

This is absolutely brilliant, you totally nailed it , love it love love it love it

[@radicalveg00]

Your rendition of Wah Wah causes me to appreciate even more both George's songwriting and your musical artistry. Wonderful!

[@basementbeatle]

Finally a cover of this song by a profesional youtuber! It deserves it. Great rendition;)

[@mulcairs123]

Amazing job Sam! This song is terrific, and it's incredibly intricate in it's guitar parts, which are somewhat hard to make out in the original mix...

[@ZackyDog]

Nice work, as usual. I think it's clever that George took a wah-wah guitar pedal and transformed it into a song.

[@ordepsmusic]

The riff sounds so vicious 😅 Another killer job, Sam! Looking forward to some more George's solo songs

[@claudefazio]

You nailed this amazing song, one on a level with the best of the Lennon-McCartney catalog. Congratulations!

[@MichaelSokil]

incredible playing!

[@sampopkin]

Thanks man!

[@5wet_]

Man the songs have been my favourite recently. If you did all those years ago or love comes to everyone this year would be the best as far as content goes!

[@sampopkin]

Definitely going to do those. Somewhere in England and GH 79 are two of my fav albums ever

[@shawnkennedy855]

@@sampopkin The Lord Loves The One...from Material World would be great if you're taking requests.

[@DG-mv6zw]

I've been listening to George Harrison for decades and I know the tracks inside out, but this is absolutely outstanding and practically indistinguishable from the original. George would be proud. And your Chelsea boots are great. I've got a pair in brown. Several pairs actually. Thanks for sharing, my friend.

[@OneZero-rp6ry]

George Harrison was an outstanding guitar player and composed many great 2:08 songs and riffs. He’s equally good on slide guitar. Lennon and McCartney both knew how great he was. Eric Clapton once said Harrison knew more guitar chords than anyone else.

[@buzzyiswhat1508]

Watched it last year, thought about it a lot since, just watched it again. Excellent cover.

[@joebrett6626]

Brilliant! Huge thanks for covering this song in its entirety, not many people have done so and with this much accuracy.

[@robbnasinovish]

Sam, love this song & it is a hidden gem on All Things. Great performance- obviously everyone else feels the same! Well done sir!

[@jamesporter5630]

One of my all time favorite guitar tracks from George. Thanks. Nice to hear it without Phil's over dub, unintended, distortion.

[@hugodelvalle]

Didn't know this song. Is really beautiful! And your cover, brilliant. Congratulations!!

[@arthurmilano2920]

0:27 - 0:57 as somebody who obtained a lot of influence from chord progressions from Radiohead, hearing that rhythm section with the 7 shapes rocked me to my core. I have so many songs that use the same type of b string add ons to major/7 bar chord shapes on the E string, so it gave me the goosebumps to see that Harrison had such an indie/bluesy like vibe to his songs from so many years ago. Paul or John were too focused on their basic forms that Harrison really let his augment/diminished/add progressions shine on this debut! I just really love that F#7 shape. It’s such a great sound. It’s defiant

[@peterfortin7522]

early beatles they really went crazy with those crazy chord shapes, john especially. Im happy just to dance with you has augmented chords, till there was you has 9th chords, augmented, aven a 7add9 chord at one point. Any song john wrote was littered with 7 chords too, you can see it in the music videos. if anything george learned it from them

[@Belchmaster41]

Cadd9 is the last chord on No Reply. On Every Little Thing, the solo is done on G Bm G

[@zedxxx9]

Nice work! I wish George Harrison's version was more laid back on the reverb like your version is. I think it's a more enjoyable song without that insane reverb space and I really wish they had remixed a version with less reverb as George Harrison had been interested in doing when they were doing one of the remastered editions. It is a shame it wasn't one of the bonus tracks.

[@richardstittle8987]

Sam this is incredible! The slide solo is absolute butter. All of your work is amazing

[@sampopkin]

[@stevobd5901]

What a fabulous guitar accompaniment! Absolutely nailed the riffs. Thoroughly loved listening to and watching this video. My favourite arrangement of Wah-Wah is the 'Concert for George' version, but this comes very close & now my second favourite Wah-Wah video. Well done. Excellent!

[@sampopkin]

Thanks!

got to be one of your best covers

After recording this Harrison reacting to the “Wall of Sound” Spector layed down asked Clapton if it was too much , Clapton said no, it was great ! Love this song and album, R.I.P. George.

Yesss finally someone who actually knows how to play the solo I can finally learn the whole song

[@Darylvb]

Absolute perfection!! I loved it!! I’ve been a Beatle fan since before the Ed Sullivan show and became a fan of all their music after they split up. (Except some of John’s stuff). He was going through some hard times. But anyway I play with a group here in Hawaii and we play many of George’s songs with the Beatles and his solo stuff. You do an incredible job in reproducing all his stuff as well as the others!!!

[@wiredranchvideo]

Ver.y nice! Have been a Beatlemaniac since ‘64 but really didn’t think much as to how they made that wonderful electronic noise. Thanks for all your videos!

[@juanaguerasallende3819]

Realmente magnífico. No sabes cómo disfruto con tus vídeos pues son cojonudos. Gracias!!!

[@justfelix6171]

Here it is. My favourite solo by Harrison. There is simply no way to make it sound NOT like Harrison. I learned it in standard but you’re playing it in open E. Simply wonderful Sam!

[@engelreyes9938]

I got to say, What a great performance!! Congrats, really!! Of a kind of underrated song of George, it's like a guitars orchestra!! The slide 2nd solo is just majestic!! You nailed it man!! Keep on!!

Excellent sound! In my opinion, George has the best sounding songs out of all the Beatles solo careers. Videos like this prove my opinion. Absolutely fantastic! Hopefully isn’t it a pity gets a video down the line.

[@sampopkin]

Thanks David! I agree George mastered guitar playing AND tones throughout his career. Even lesser known albums like Somewhere in England and Gone Troppo have amazing slide playing
