- (vv TIME STAMPS IN DESCRIPTION BELOW! vv) One of the more ambitious projects I've ever attempted - The Beatles were a formative musical influence on me, and I believe there is much that can be learned from their music. I wanted to see what I might discover by recreating every main guitar solo section from each of their songs and arranging them in chronological order. Turns out quite a bit!
All music in this video was performed and created from scratch - no original Beatles recordings were used.

All parts were performed by me except for drums/percussion, which were performed by Evan Chisholm and Rich Degnars (whom this project would not have been possible without!) Evan plays on everything up through Revolver, as well as Hey Bulldog, All You Need Is Love, and most of Let It Be. Rich plays on Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, The White Album, and Abbey Road, as well as For You Blue off Let It Be.
Also a huge shoutout to Brendan Sheehan and his dad for letting me borrow that amazing Rickenbacker 12 String, as well as Matt Casarino for his acoustic 12 string.

George was their special ingredient. Never over powering, just the right blend, and so tasteful .
Not all of these are played by Geoorge
Also, I’d rather argue all of them were the special ingredient
Also, you won’t play a great solo if the song isn’t great, and most of these weren’t written by George
Also george struggle a lot with the solos during the recordings..., but a great guitarist and musician
Beautifully put👌
@@LBT-sy4dp It has been said that George struggled with some solo’s but I think it was probably down to Paul wanting a particular solo for some of his songs played in a very particular way. If it was left for George to do it in his own style he wouldn’t have had a problem.
@@TheVoom99 There is a difference between trying to compose a guitar solo during a recording session and not being able to play it. George was trying to compose a solo and George Martin was losing patience. Paul, who was writing 24/7, happened to run some guitar solos though his head and offered the solo we all love to love.
George was the Ringo of Lead Guitars. He created solos as needed in the song. And that's why he's one of the GOAT!
Attention to detail important - flipping to reverse mode for Tomorrow Never Knows is an impressive level that shows true care and respect to the material.
Also with I’m Only Sleeping!
Or it’s just straight OL FASHION NARRCISSIM
@@stevescontriano860 yes, someone correctly replicating a guitar part is doing it because they are a narcissist.
Also, he had to "double track " in order to achieve the harmony double lead solo for "And Your Bird Can Sing".
@@spindriftdrinker same with “the night before” and “birthday” (actually i’m pretty sure he just used a bass for the low guitar in birthday)

Thank you!
Thanks but why'd you stop there? Is there a part 2 to this comment? Wanted to see if I could be able to pick out McCartney solos
@@strahljd take it :)
Slow Down is George, Matchbox is John
Dig A Pony is George
Why does this not have more views?? This is such high quality
nothing better than the Nowhere Man solo, the note at the end is genious
Wow you blew my mind out!
You've really studied the Beatles' Discography. You are more than a fan. You are carrying all of this in your heart. The Beatle's complete songs were 211 songs, including their covers, and here you did 75 solos. You really rock!
I love George's solos. They're so memorable and catchy. Short and sweet.
This is why I still credit George Harrison as the first guitarist that really made me want to pick up the instrument and is still one of my biggest influences, everything he played was absolutely perfect for the song. He definitely was all about serving the music and I absolutely love it, truly a great player from a young age and definitely one of the greats
That re-enactment of The End with the 3 of them taking turns with solo is gold👌
True!
Most underrated guitar player ever.
Many of us started playing guitar because of the Beatles' beautiful music spruce up by George Harrison's unique lead guitar playing.
George definitely improved a ton. Early solos are good, but the solo on Something will always be one of my favorites.
Wasn't that Clapton on Something?
@@jerryschulman1640 Clapton did the solo on While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Paul played some of the solos, such as on Taxman. @amvs6700 has all of the performers listed.
@@tubular618 Paul's are some of the best!
Been a Beatles fan for 60 years and never gets old. I play a lot of their songs on guitar but this is a great compilation and thanks for taking the time.
Oh, and the "reverse" guitar on I'm Only Sleeping and Tomorrow Never Knows was funny! Nice touch. 😅
Hope the algorithm randomly picks this video and makes it blow up cause this deserves way more views its fantastic
Melodies win over "shredding" any day of the year. George was brilliant, learning in no small part from Hank Marvin of The Shadows, who came before him.
In the early days, George was more influenced by guitarist such as Chuck Berry and Carl Perkins.
Good lordy, you are SO FREAKIN' GOOD.
Travail incroyable...
George était incroyable d'inventivité...
Well done. After watching this in its entirety I'm struck by a couple of things. One is that George was so proficient in so many styles right from their early days. Be it Rhythm and Blues, Country, Rockabilly, or even Classical guitar, he tried his hand at it all and did a fantastic job. It shows how much he must've practiced as a teenager.
The other thing is that the only slide used on here is by John in For You Blue. I find this interesting because George really made slide his thing only after The Beatles broke up. It's like he was rejecting his past. Great video.
There's one more use of slide that I only realized was slide after finishing the video, which is on the Drive My Car solo. But funnily enough, both cases of slide in the Beatles' catalog aren't George - Paul plays the Drive My Car solo, and John plays For You Blue. Good observation about George!
@@Jalopes Yeah, I read that Paul used a slide in Drive My Car too.
Actually the solo to Drive My Car was a bit off. It has a 16th note pickup before the solo,and the three turns have one that lands on a different note, and the last bar is a slide guitar all on high E string . I won’t belabor the notes ,but I have to say this . Paul played that solo ,and the Taxman solo , two of the best solos in the Beatles canon …
@@jacquescousteau217 That's true. He also played the solo on Good Morning, Good Morning. It sounds a lot like the Taxman solo to me too.
@@Jalopes George actually plays slide on Hello, Goodbye and Strawberry Fields Forever.
George played a lot of notes out of cord positions. Very classy.
I always wanted someone to do this exact thing!!! It totally lives up to expectations! I know these are mostly George solos but what phenomenal guitar players they were!
This really makes me feel like I'm one of the Beatles!
A memory to George.... A mix of sad and beautiful sensations.... God save his memory!!
Very well done! Makes me appreciate what George could cook up in an hour or less...
This was an impressive project, wow. We’ll done. Beatles’ guitar work is so musical. Shredders, virtuosos and improvers are good. But what the Beatles did with guitar solos is so musical and unique. They were organic parts of the song. The solo in I Want You is one of my favorite guitar solos of all time. Thanks for doing this!
Wow. Thank you. I enjoyed all of it. I play the guitar and love The Beatles. Loved hearing all of George's incredible solos.
I thoroughly enjoyed this, amazing.
Really incredible. Awesome job with this. Loved every one. I'm partial to a Hard Day's Night, just love how that one sounds and you perfectly captured it! You Can't Do That is awesome too, underrated song. AND Nowhere Man, my god, if you told me that was ripped from the original I would have believed you, wow. Jesus, AND Taxman, WOW. That was super sick.
Thank you! Some good choices - You Can't Do That is one of my favorite Beatles songs, and Taxman might be my favorite solo out of all of them.
Re-Nowhere Man, that one sounds particularly accurate because the guitar I'm playing (Classic Player 60's Strat) is a reissue of the exact model of guitar John and George played the solo on. Here's a pic of John with it (identical down to the color!) www.beatlesebooks.com/files/1619622/uploaded/lennon%20strat%20color.jpg
@@Jalopes Damn, even had the same guitar. Now that's dedication!
... more cowbell ...
... seriously ... Super Job! ...
Quite possibly the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life (I've loved them all)! On top of everything else that makes the Beatles so wonderful is that their guitar solos are so unique, interesting, melodic and beautiful as opposed to just showing off. This is truly epic. Great job! Where is "It's All Too Much" though? Love that song and the guitar work is wild!
Fantastic run through the years 🙂🎶🎵🎸
This was a phenomenal amount of effort. Well done!
This is amazing work! Such a daunting project. Congratulations and thank you.😎🎸✌️
What an epic feat! One of the coolest videos I've ever seen!
Excellent work, my man. You even captured the small nuances.
That is one hell of an accomplishment! Nice Job!
LOVED THIS! You were awesome!!! Great playing!
i have no idea why this doesn't have millions of views / it's that good / i'm blown away
Brilliant. I thoroughly enjoyed the immense effort you put into this.
The guitar work on Revolver is unbelievable good. Not only those solos, but riffs and licks on songs like she said she said and got to get you into my life
Edit: Abbey Road still beats it
Wow! This is fantastic! I can't imagine how hard this was to put together, let alone, learning all the leads!
Thanks for a fantastic rendition! Enjoyed every bit of it! Well fone!
I'm stunned by the time and talent it must have taken to reconstruct, practice, and record all of these PLUS putting together the backing tracks. Hearing them all together in order brings so many things to light. Obviously the brilliance of George Harrison. Even before he blossoms as a songwriter, he's creating all these memorable melodic runs within his solos. But I'm also struck by what's absent; so many songs in the Beatles catalogue don't have guitar solos! Especially several of the early singles and B-sides. And you can tell this is a departure from the artists that influenced the Beatles, because a ton of the songs they cover have very prominent guitar solos.
Yeah, I did a quick count. Leaving out "Maggie Mae," which I view as a bit of goofing around, there are 24 cover songs in the official Beatles catalogue. Of those, 14 have guitar solos, so around 60%. Compare that with their 194 original songs, of which only 32% feature guitar solos.
Well done! Great job.
What a sound dude! Appreciate that!
The drums sound amazing!
You just took me on a trip thru my Wonder Years. Beautiful
Wow! Quite an admirable project!
I absolutely loved this. 💜
Dit is zeer verhelderend. De directe bescheiden input van George die zo ongelooflijk bepalend was. Het zijn die solo’s waar we in iedere song op zaten te wachten, die vastgekleefd zijn in onze ziel en hersenen. Neem ze weg en net als bij Ringo’s drum worden heel wat songs meer naar het gemiddelde getrokken. Dit bewijst hoe brilliant ze alle 4 waren.
My old American records. Nice touch to an outstanding bit of work. Thanks, young feller.
A mighty fine endeavor indeed. Downright impressive.
Wow, well done. Massive project to take on.
This was a joy to listen to and you played nearly all of them perfectly to my memory. I think the main difference being not using the same guitar as they did.
So many of these are iconic and some of the best solos in rock history.
Outstanding!
Jesus, they are so creative and artistic, and every single one is such a hard work to play : D genius. Completely genius.
Well, that was f***ing awesome. Kudos to you, sir!
Wow! Brilliant work, mate! 👏👏👏
I enjoyed this work. Excellent !!!!!
Wish "Free As a Bird" and "Real Love" are included. Most of all, a fantastic work.
Impressive project, well executed. I can't add praise to your work that others have not already given, so I will just add that I appreciate the American LP covers in the background. Those are the albums I grew up with.
You have an amazing talent! Impressed
Well ... EPIC! Just .... EPIC! Hearing them all together like this really highlights how good The Beatles were. Great job! Thanks for making me feel even MORE inferior on the guitar than I did thirty four minutes and three seconds ago! 😆
man that is something else, what a project
Perfect job! Congratulations
Well played. Very fun 🙌🏼
Besides doing the incredible solo work you did, I have to applaud you for the backing tracks as well. There was so much subtle detail in those productions. Wow, very cool!
Thank you! The secret most fun part of this was learning all of Paul's bass parts, haha.
I like the backwards (mirror image) video on Tomorrow Never Knows! Thank you for taking the time to do this. I really enjoyed it!
Geroge Harrison later came out with songs like let it be abbey road and a couple more a talented musician 😀 next to Paul McCartney even after the beetles solo he was good
Awesome job!
I am amazed at the work & effort you did to create
this great video. You are
Fantastic! You made my day! Thank you for the
entertainment!
Astonishing!!
Fantastico JTL‼️ 🎸
Digging it! 👍my friend...YOU ARE A BEATLES FAN! 😎
'I want you' is my favorite. Great video!
Really enjoyed this!
Absolutely amazing, fair play
Wow.
Tons of kudos to you!!!!
This just popped out of nowhere.????? Brilliant!!!!
Awesome job. A tutorial and reference I will be using again and again!
What a job man! excellent! cheers from Argentina.
Good job, man!🤘🤘🤘
Okay, you just wait until I do every drum solo of Ringo's (maybe even a few of Pete's too). I like how you flipped the guitar around for the backwards solo on "I'm Only Sleeping".
Actually, he flipped the image around, I guess. And he did it in "Tomorrow Never Knows" too. By the way, nice joke about the drum solos.
Good job. I had to play all of the lead guitar parts in several Beatles Tribute bands and also British Invasion type groups over the years. The trick is not overplaying, which they generally didn't do, even when John or Paul was playing the lead guitar riffs. I noticed you played in a few different registers, and of course nothing wrong with that. I tried to pretty much play the lead guitar parts in the exact register. Why, I don't know..........just me. You do a good job capturing the riffs, especially Im Only Sleeping, which is a difficult piece to replicate the sound. I always liked Taxman and enjoyed playing it. I remember an interview one time with George Harrison, I forget now who was interviewing him, and he asked him where he came up with the riff and was it difficult. He looked a little put out and then replied, "Well it was Paul........it's his riff." I always thought that was a little bit funny and I am sure the interviewer was embarrassed a little by it.
This is excellent my friend this from a lifetime Beatles fanatic
I just started playing guitar a year ago and this is amazing to me
Love to hear it, keep at it and practice hard!
Good work! :=) Beatles music will allways be in my heart!
Just amazing. I vote Hey Bulldog best Beatles solo (after Something ). Thanks for doing this!
Beautiful! Thanks!!!
Octopus’s Garden. Amazing!!
Excellent job! I certainly remember all of these tunes when they first came out. George added a lot of "flavor" to the Lennon/McCartney songs.
Loved it!
**** FANTASTIC TRIBUTE... VERY VERY GOOD !!!!!
Till There Was You is delightful
Awesome
Truly fantastic
Wow that was Amazing....Well done.
Super idea and excellent execution 👌👍🤟
Great soloes!
Wow, this must have taken a lot of putting together; what with changing the record sleeves, editing and everything else involved. Terrific!
Great collection. Of the 3 versions of let it be, the solo on the album version is standout.
