Though Clapton wasn't credited on the album's liner notes or anywhere else, but Eric Clapton played lead guitar on this song. He and George Harrison were good friends, but George had to convince him to come to the studio because Clapton was worried the other Beatles wouldn't want him there. Clapton's presence eased the mood in the studio at a tense time for The Beatles. Harrison often had to fight to get his songs on the albums. John Lennon and Paul McCartney were not interested in this song at first, but came around when Harrison brought Clapton to the studio.

For those of us who grew up in the era of the Beatles; we all could write a book about their greatness and still not do justice relative to the impact they had on the world stage. They led the way for a whole younger generation and heavily contributed to the cultural shift that took place during that time! The world would never be the same again. You can see their musical influence all throughout the decades, even up to today's music. They literally created a template for others to follow and then to go off and create their own identity from that.

The reason George Harrison wanted Eric to play on this song is because Eric definitely made a guitar weep, slow hand was Eric's nickname... And for good reason. And if you don't know Eric Clapton and George Harrison have quite an interesting history.

@betsyduane3461 26 күн бұрын

Clapton himself in his 2007 autobiography: “On my guitar I used light-gauge guitar strings, with a very thin first string, which made it easier to bend the notes, and it was not uncommon during the most frenetic bits of playing for me to break at least one string. During the pause, while I was changing my string, the frenzied audience would often break into a slow handclap, inspiring Giorgio to dream up the nickname of ‘Slowhand’ Clapton.”

@gregcable3250 26 күн бұрын

Eric's nickname has nothing to do with his playing style. It is because he often broke a string in live performance when with the Yardbirds, especially, and the audience would clap slowly while he changed the string. But you are 100% right that he makes the guitar weep here. One of his great attributes is that he understands the song he is in and plays for the song--the style, phrasing, etc.

"Some" of The Beatles weren't very appreciative of George's work and were falling him somewhat. He brought Clapton in to tamp down the bad vibes that they were sending towards him. The other Beatles were so in awe of Clapton that they let George get his way. When George temporarily "quit" The Beatles they wanted Clapton to take his place, but he wouldn't stab his friend in the back.

I would say that when George Harrison started with the Beatles. He wasn’t a very good songwriter. But in 1966 he starts writing more autobiographical songs and songs about peace and universal love. And that’s when he finds his niche. So George he didn’t like being on a timeline when it came to songwriting. He only wanted to write when he felt he had something to say. Where Paul McCartney he thrives with timelines. Paul can write about almost anything. Whether he’s experienced it or not.

@@michaeldean846 Paul was a songwriting machine, which motivated John to keep up. George didn't even know if he could write a song at the beginning of their careers.

After the Beatles and his solo career, George joined with the Traveling Wilburys (Harrison, Dylan, Orbison, Petty, and Lynne), so of course they pleased fans by covering some old songs by band members. As for Prince, Prince played the solo as part of a star-studded tribute to George at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004.

One of the best songs ever, this is. George had asked the guys to do the guitar solo but they didn't want to so George asked his friend Eric Clapton to do it. In an interview I read in one of my guitar mags he was asked about this song and replied he was so stoned at the time he didn't remember doing it. As said by others the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame tribute to George is a must listen, Prince was so pissed that he was left of the Rolling Stone list of greatest guitar players a bit before this and he proved that night he deserved to be on that list. If I won a lottery my foolish purchase if possible would be 'Lucy', the guitar Eric used on the song. 'Lucy' was a a 1957 Goldtop Les Paul guitar with PAF humbucking pickups. It was bought new I think by 'John Sebastian' of 'The Lovin' Spoonful', who traded it to 'Rick Derringer' for an amp. Derringer has it refinished in Red like his SG. However, Derringer wasn't happy with the guitar after the refinish so he sold it to a guitar shop in New York where Eric Clapton bought it. Eric after a bit gives it to George Harrison. Harrison continued to play Lucy as one of his principal guitars for the remainder of his time with the Beatles. It can be seen in the promotional videos for "Revolution" and “The Ballad of John and Yoko”, and the 1970 Let It Be documentary film. Lucy can be heard during the three-way guitar solo near the end of "The End" and of course throughout this song. Check out one of the best covers. 'The Jeff Healy Band' - 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' (1990) Cheers

Great reaction. One of the Beatles classics The Beatles had so many different styles of songs and different periods of their music. There is no such thing as a “typical” Beatles song. The growth in their music from year to year is pretty amazing. What a lot of newbies don’t realize is that their extensive catalog and musical growth was all within a relatively short period of time. They recorded and released their first single (Love Me Do) in late 1962 and finished recording their final album (Abbey Road) in summer of 1969. After the album release John Lennon announced that he was leaving the group and that was basically the end of the Beatles. However without the instant information that we have today, it was kept pretty quiet. Also probably unknown at the time is that Ringo had temporarily quit in 1968 and George temporarily left earlier in 1969. In spring of 1970 Paul McCartney announced he was leaving so he was unfairly getting blame for breaking up the group.

The song was a commentary on how the Beatles were no longer getting along. He wrote "I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping, while my guitar gently weeps." Basically he is saying that there is no love there anymore, it is sad, and he is just playing the guitar, trying to get through it all.

My favorite Harrison song. Kenny Rankin does a great version of this. His rendition of My Guitar Gently Weeps impressed George Harrison that his family used the cover for George’s funeral service.

I think my favorite Beatle song. During final exams in the fall of 1968 , when I needed a break, I would put on this song and just lose myself in it. It just carries you along….hypnotic. Clapton’s solo is beautiful.

Eric Clapton played lead guitar on this song.He was asked by George to sit in and play. when George quit the band for a couple of days,John asked Paul if they should ask if Eric wanted to be a Beatle. George came back to the band and all was good.

My favorite performance from George Harrison is on the Rubber Soul LP single Norwegian Wood. His work on the sitar, a string instrument from India, was ground breaking at the time (1965). He was one of the first to feature that instrument in a pop record.

The acoustic version of this is class also - they added strings to it and opened up a whole other dimension to the song. Also - I think you are starting to find out that The Beatles turned out tunes that were so unique to each other. They never really sounded the same from song to song. I dont think many other artists can claim to able to do that.

By far the best song of the album and one of the best the band (plus George's friend Eric on the guitar solo) ever recorded. The band had it's issues with each other at that time. Once Ringo even left the band. When George brought his friend in, he was a kind of a catalisator and put the band back together again. Check out Love You To, Something, The Innner Light by Beatles George - and do the whole All Things Must Pass album, the best work any of the Beatles did after the split up and the first tripple album. George was a genius.

Great reaction, you two, to one of Harrison's finest tracks!! One thing you will uncover in time as you go deeper into their catalogue, is that The Beatles did not really have a "sound". They could and did anything they wanted to and they did it all well. Just listen to and compare "If I Fell", "Within You Without You", "Because", "Being For The Benefit of Mr. Kite", "Octopus' Garden", "Happiness Is A Warm Gun", "Lady Madonna", "Two Of Us", "Act Naturally", "She's Leaving Home", "I Want You (She's So Heavy)", "Honey Pie", "She Said She Said", "Piggies", I Am The Walrus" and I could go on and on.

You're right, the Beatles are in a league of their own. Such richness, complexity and creativity while being so utterly enjoyable and accessible for everyone.

You should really listen to the fabulous Beatles catalog in chronological order. Learn how & why they started & got so big so fast, once they landed in America. Hear how the musical genius in all of them progressed through the years. Understand the transformation they experienced. Savor the journey of their ascent and see how they changed the course of music. And be amazed by how much GREAT music, with incredible innovations, The Beatles produced in less than 10 years or so, with only 6 of those years coming after their first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show, on February 9, 1964 - the telecast that gave the world Beatlemania!!

Great catch, Harrison is the 3rd man up in writing the music for the Beatles but he is still epic in his own right.

One thing to keep in mind about the complexity of the Beatles' music is that it became increasingly complex and innovative over the band’s career. In the early years, The Beatles were a touring band. So the bulk of their music needed to be simple enough to be playable in live performances. This to some extent limited what kinds of instrumentation and effects they could make use of. Once the Beatles stopped touring in late 1966, those restrictions were lifted, and the band’s full creativity was unleashed. Thereafter, the band members could spend a lot more time in the studio experimenting with a wider variety of instrumentation and the latest audio technology and incorporating the best of it all into their music.
