George is one of my most respected person's in this life. George's Religon and Spirituality is extremely powerful, His outlook on a day in this life is so sureal. If anyone gets a chance to read His Autobiography "I Me Mine", do so, George was a phenominal writer, and His quotes will make you think twice before doing anything. Now, His guitar playing, FFFFFFUUUCK!!!...The Man was a Genius when He played. Go check out "Mike Pachelli" here on youtube, Mike teaches Guitar with alot of admiration for The Beatles ,Mike Pachelli )produces charts and tabs that go's along with his chord progressions and licks, and carefully disects each member of The Beatles and their parts when playing a song, George always put in a little extra pizaz in His playing, signature sounds that are hard to identify for the untrained ear, and sometimes difficult to play. Alot of the early Beatles songs sounded bubble gumish,but quite the Contrary,George had a "Thin but Complex" sound. Great video 👍 Thanks for keeping George Harrison and The Beatles in our hearts!!!🙏✌

Here's a fact that most people, even those who were adolescents in the '60s probably don't know. He was/is one of the greatest guitarists and songwriter/singers of all time. Flashy? No. Shred? No. Fabulous soaring bluesy solos? No. Nothing like that at all. So why was/is he so great? Because he took what he had heard before him and used it in the most beautiful, exciting, creative and imaginative, musical way that framed and sparkled every song on which he played. He taught, by his example, tens of thousands of guitarists that taste when playing, and sometimes not playing, only in service to the song was what the band lead guitar thing is all about. That's why.

[@buddyblackmon7405]

AMEN!! I couldn’t have said it better myself. GEORGE is the reason that I took up Guitar and ended up being a professional musician/songwriter my whole life. Thanks GEORGE! Hare Krishna, Hare Hare.

[@stephenmartinez9355]

She Said, She Said is actually a Lennon- Harrison composition, George having helped compose the middle section of the song. George also played the bass in the recording.

[@mattykay]

You should cover his 1963 visit to America including staying with his sister Louise in Illinois. He bought a guitar and even performed with a local band at a Friday night Fish Fry!

[@yellowsubmarine8941]

Thank you for the suggestion I’ll look into it :)

@@yellowsubmarine8941 The rumor is true. Harrison actually did go to America first. The Beatles went to America in 1964 as a group, but it was the second time that George made the trip.

[@theyakkomanguy7522]

I have one interesting fact about George is that the last person George ever wrote a letter to was to comedian Mike Myers expressing George's admiration for Myers's work. The letter keeps Myers happy to this day because he loved The Beatles and Myers's father was from Liverpool.

[@johnozed]

[@MarkMikelVideos]

Only A Northern Song is one of my favorite Beatles tracks. I never thought it was a critique of John and Paul. Just a jab at the people that constantly analyzed their music. George's songs were also Northern Songs in the early days and up to this point. I think it would've made Sgt Pepper's even stronger. It was nice having at least too Harrison songs on Beatle albums, but SPLHCB was too Paul heavy. Another George song would've made it much tastier.

[@ericdee6802]

"If your listening to this song, you may think the chords are going wrong,but they're not, he just wrote it like that! ~George Harrison~

"Two Harrison songs," not "too Harrison songs."

[@karaamundson3964]

Maybe *most* of George's teachers let him get away with his Teddy Boy appearance and disinterest in school, but one gave him a whack on his wrist with the cane because of his clothes. When George got home, his father asked about it, and George replied, "Teacher." The next day there came a knock on the classroom door. The teacher answered. Someone inquired if he was the teacher. "Yes," came the answer. There came the sound of a mighty blow as George's father sent the teacher a punch in the nose. "George was the hero of the school for a week," Paul reports. "If it'd been my father, he'd have just said, 'Well, I suppose you deserved it, then,' and kept reading his paper." George was the funniest in interviews. When Brian Epstein had his first interview with the Beatles, Paul was very late. Brian was furious and demanded to know where he was. George, ever loyal, called up and was able to report, "He's having a bath." This did not mollify Brian, who grouched about whether Paul thought it worthwhile to waste his (Brian's) time. George paused and said, "He's *very clean* ." Of course all Beatles fans recognize that line...which classically appeared later in HDN as the touchstone line about Paul's grandfather. When JPG&R were auditioning for George Martin on substandard equipment (John's amp was tied together with string but still rattled), he gave them a tongue-lashing for a half-hour about shoddy equipment and presentation. Afterwards, there was a long silence from the band. "Well? Don't you have anything to say?" Martin demanded. "I don't like your tie," said George (H), at which point the ice was broken. George was never at a loss for words in an interaction with the press, whether serious or not. He held his own and, on at least one occasion I've seen, kept John in the conversational corner. So...yes, he had an illness which required him not to speak very much on his first American trip. However, he was both wise and clever

[@wolfebeardsnarl5691]

Although less publicly aggressive than Lennon, apparently he was the best scrapper of the bunch👊🏻

Most enjoyable video. Thanks.

[@crazyantny9161]

One key thing about George that you didn't quite add or hit on the head, is the that George was considered by many, including myself to be the best slide guitarist. He also loved the Uke and played it more then the guitar later in life. He also had affairs with some very hot babes. Oh, you forgot banjolele which is heard on Any Road. Nice job brother👍👌

[@hkitm]

"More then?" No. "More than.'

[@crazyantny9161]

I will not be correcting it. It's pretty mundane to say the least😂😂 This is about comments under Ten Facts About George Harrisson and not a grammar lesson!

Also another story about George not sure if its a fact or not here goes. On the day George got stabbed in his home there were 2 new workers there that saw all the commotion going on and as George was about to be taken to the hospital he saw these new gardeners and asked them this question SO HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR FIRST DAY AT WORK?

[@guillermo3564]

It's true. Nice call.

"So, how are u finding it, so far...?" actually...

The most interesting fact here is that George was in The Fantastic Four.

Bet he was Human Torch

[@brobro23]

[@MsKnighterrant]

You're right. I didn't know George died on November 28, 2001. Everybody else seems to know it was November 29!!!

Either this is titled with a rather casual use of the word "unknown" or the full title is '10 unknown facts about George Harrison, if you are very unfamiliar with the history of the Beatles'.

[@theresareynolds3133]

When I was 6 I told my grandparents I was going to marry George Harrison when I was old enough, they laughed and said guess we better start saving for the wedding now and they laughed

[@TheGamecock366]

I read somewhere that George was afraid of flying.

[@MsKnighterrant]

George did not attend Pattie and Eric Clapton's wedding. They were married in Tucson Arizona while Eric was on tour in March 1979. George, Paul & Ringo attended a party at Eric & Pattie's home in England in May 1979.

[@timrobinson7373]

There is a lost story about George and Eric don't know if its true or not if someone and confirm this one let me know. When Eric was going through his TEARS IN HEAVEN stage and was very depressed. His wife asked George to come over and try and cheer him up. When George came over and saw the state Eric was in he could tell was lost and talking to him did not help any. So George talked to the wife and got along real well, so well that they spent a romantic weekend together. And George would say later that is how he got back at Eric for stealing Patti Boyd on him

[@danmcn61]

That seems very out of character for George. I highly doubt the accuracy of this story.

[@jacquescousteau217]

Half the “ facts “ are half truths at best. The picture with Patti is claimed to be George’s sister as just one example …

[@eldiablo8580]

Here's a fact you got wrong, that photo you put up when you mentioned he said goodbye to his sister Louise was actually a later photo of his ex wife Patty. I mean, really, where has this channel sprung from all of a sudden, it's like you only have been around a week or so, but it seems you are dedicated to spreading more misinformation about the Beatles 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@darrenjray]

Poorly researched. “John was on vacation and could not attend” is incorrect. That is not his sister Louise. It’s Patti. Vision of a tribute band in discussing The Beatles? Lazy. Incorrect date of death? Unforgiveable.

[@guillermo3564]

@darrenjray remember, research is a lost art. It's far easier to write or say whatever you want, and with repetition by those who aren't capable of critical thinking, have it become fact by default. This guy needs to be called out on every mistake so that he can pull his head out of his a$$ and maybe get something right. It would also be nice to see his misinformation taken down. He's just jumping on the Get Back bandwagon of new Beatles "experts" just to try to make a buck on KZbin. Pretty pathetic, I think.

[@imkluu]

George Harrison wasn't the youngest member of the Fantastic Four. The Fab Four, yes, but he wasn't a member of the Marvel comic book family. That wasn't The Beatles on stage with 'George' playing the Sitar. The Beatles never used the sitar on stage. That was a Tribute band that they showed in this video. George may have made the word 'grotty' popular, but it was a scripted word that was given to him for the movie. He even said that he cringed every time he had to use it.

I say grotty, it was a common word where I came from.

When the video mentioned George’s sister, is not his sister but his ex-wife Patty Boyd.

Evangelist Ray Comfort reported that George was into auto racing. Became friend with a driver who was a Christian. George became a Christian.

I hope that George finally had peace with God through the blood of Christ. Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

[@beatleman69]

Its sad he was looking for God, but looking in the wrong place. He was raised roman catholic, you can see that in the gatefold on Living in the Material World. He held a Bible in his hand in the video "This Song" in 1976. Too bad he didn't read it.

[@ScarletVoodoo]

​@@beatleman69 To say he was "looking in the wrong place" for God is incredibly disrespectful, as is your assumption that he never read the bible. “Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned.” Jesus allegedly said those words.

[@guillermo3564]

George's spiritual life was based in a religion that had been around for 2,000 years before the story of christ was ever made up. I think that when his time came, your jesus was probably the last thing on his mind. You christians just can't handle the fact that there are other ways to spiritual growth that have nothing to do with your book or deities, and that's the main issue with all of you. Keep your beliefs to, and get over, yourself.

[@beatleman69]

@@ScarletVoodoo "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should no perish, but have everlasting life". John 3:16 KJV. If George did not accept Christ as his savior then would up in hell. He admitted in his last interview he believed in coming back in another life after death.

[@kenshiloh]

@@guillermo3564 Hi. I guess you just wanted to make a comment and leave it at that, with no rebuttal? OK. All the best to you are yours! Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

George was a lifelong womaniser and adulterer, having an affair with Ringo's wife. Nobody is perfect.
