So simple yet so effective and even iconic

I love Let it Be Naked, but I hate that it doesn't have this solo.

Yes, the album version is the good one. The single version is the rubbish one.

Me too !!

I heard it first time 1976

Reminds me more of the Band. Clapton hadn’t done Layla at this point

Dig a pony guitar solo is amazing

@@subg8858 yeah, I could see that. But Clapton had already played the solo for while my guitar gently weeps.

For me, it's George's guitar solo works on "Till there was you" and "Here comes the sun"

Great point. I never thought of it that way.

He was best mates with Clapton. That's not good for a guitarist's self esteem;)

He was being descriptive of his own style (and what it wasn't). He was good at the concise pop solo. He wasn't a jam band, noodling-type, or even blues player. That's why he didn't heavily feature his guitar playing in the seventies when the latter styles came more into fashion. Even in the late sixties, around te time of Hendrix emeging on the scene, he moved away from the instument (e.g. bringing in Clapton for "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," a solo totally not in his style).

I wouldn’t call that “unbelievable humility”, I’d call it being honest with oneself, and not having a selfish, all about ‘me’ outlook, as is so prevalent today. There’s nothing worse than a guitarist who thinks he’s great, and everyone but himself cringes when he plays. This scenario is more common today than ever. Even the hackers think they’re the greatest players these days. Just look at KZfaq videos! “Instruction” video after video where they’re playing songs wrong while supposedly “teaching”. And the worst of it is most KZfaq “teachers” have never been properly taught themselves. Yet they feel so great about their playing ability, they actually feel qualified to “teach”! All be it incorrectly.

No, I think this has nothing to do with humility (see the part where he storms out and says they need Clapton not him, which is clearly a disingenuous read on the situation). His parts traditionally are laboriously poured over, and he’s contrasting that with Clapton’s ability to improvise…Harrison, for all his clout as a guitarist, was never an improviser.

Yes loved it. It was like watching them panning for gold. Knowing what they were about to find.

Before Peter Jackson resurrected the dead from those let it be 16 mm very low resolution film he was approached would you like to get involved in a completely artificial intelligence project and he said I’m on board the reason the movie was never released because it showed them in their final days of hating The Paul McCartney character and he didn’t want people seeing how horrible they really got along let it be showed them in the best possible light they could get out of the film that was a shot were used ,the other stuff was not salvageable everything people saw on Disney’s get back series was artificial intelligence none of it happened it was all artificial intelligence fabricated it never happened re-creating a false history they want to have the Beatles as some kind of iconic legend I know for a fact because I know people involved going back to the days when they were created going back to when they were sent to Germany to learn how to play four chords on the guitar Chuck Berry songs they continued to play until Final tour in August 1966 they didn’t play anything off of revolver rubber soul, people want to believe what they wanna believe they wanna believe the Cinderella story of the Beatles. they we’re a vocal group as the first album stated

@@davidwilley3609enough people were working alongside the Beatles are still around and can recall those days would know immediately if anything were faked. These loon nutcase conspiracy theories come from people who are so negative in their personality that they are only interested in trouble. I feel sad for them.

​@@davidwilley3609bro!! Thank you!! I'm glad you know about the Beatles psy-op. I hate that people think they're such an innovative, and great band. But they didn't actually do any of it 😅

@@davidwilley3609 Uhhh...wow...I hope the lithium has started working, mate.

Strange how I never met Dori; yet got saddened by His passing.

Yeah, he always played exactly what the song needed.

That " Magic " of the Beatles was always knowing what sound they wanted to make and it all works so well, with limited technology. This is creative loss in so much modern music. Tons of choices and all you have to do is make up your mind and choose. Chris, I do know what you're going thru at present. The Most I can do is Pray. That you will receive exactly what you need, when you need it. Love heals - stevie

I agree. The emphasis these days seems to be on shredding. Not that shredding isn't a valuable skill. In fact, many classical musicians and composers were shredders. But speed is not always the thing which helps expression and sometimes actually stymies expression. The fact that most young aspiring guitarists seem to gravitate to metal shredding more than to appreciate the beauty of simplicity which often takes as much genius to produce as high energy onslaughts of notes. And, Chris, you have my sincere sympathy for your loss. I love your style and insights.

yeah george should be on anyones top 5 list, he was so good at guitar

​@@spaghettisauce445not even close 😂

Who died? His father?

Yes.

Andrew, this is my favourite George solo .. it is melodically breathtakingly beautiful ...

Well, having long improv jams, with electric guitar solos, was a new thing, at least outside of the Jazz genre. Hendrix and Pink Floyd, were also very integral, to that type of guitar soloing, in very different ways at that time.

Who died??? His father?

except Clapton is the limited musician and an even more limited person.

@@ScoDiddley You CANNOT be serious😂

@@Jominycrocket0 overrated AF.

maybe because the beatles often used flatwound strings?

Also George may have had a leetle beet more sustain. Though you're 100% right about the decay, @ChrisBuckGuitar

Sounds like the casino

You were at Shea?? If you've got any more details from that night, I'd love to hear!

@@everonlyallforthee You can actually see the video of that night on KZfaq.

The Abbey Road sessions were still to come, so it wasn't quite the last recording.

I believe the last Beatles recording session was the recording of I Me Mine, by George, Paul and Ringo. John wasn't present. The session was required because the "Let it Be" directors had decided to use the song in the movie.

@@StuartQuinn The 1970 solo overdub session is obviously after the 1969 Abbey Road sessions. The Beatles (well, 3 of them) did indeed carry on recording into a new decade!

@@yernotthebossofme1062 That's right, and the version of I Me Mine on Let It Be, Naked includes George's spoken intro in which he jokes about John's absence while referring to an old Merseybeat-era band.
