George’s son was attending Brown University in Providence Rhode Island. On my way to work I stopped at a small shop there to get a coffee. When I walked in I noticed George sitting in a booth with another person. I wanted to go over and just thank him for all the years of great music I restrained myself respecting his privacy. On the way out our eyes locked he nodded and smiled. It’s a memory I will always cherish! George was a beautiful person and spirit. His guitar playing was brilliant never a wasted note. It was sad that he suffered so much in his last years from cancer and being attacked by a madman in his home. Love you so much Mr.Harrison thanks for that smile.
to me george was the # 1 guitarist of all time..amazing songwriter, singer, slide, acoustic, sitar, uke and many more. humble musican with big heart. ahh..and ex beatle..a real master...god bless you . peace..carlos
Well, perhaps George Harrison's guitar playing is underrated by those who DON'T play guitar. But for those of who do, his world music influences, taste, melody nd inventiveness provide the blueprint for eclectic playing. And there can be NO doubt that Harrison's slide guitar playing, ranging from supple, melodic, and haunting to snarling, snide, and stinging was, in the parlance of the day, DA SHEEYAT.
I do not think he was underrated at all. Eric Clapton said, “Nobody can get that distinctive and unique sound no matter how they try. Including me - and, I’ve tried.” Now, y’all go and try it and see if you can come close to capturing that sound. ❤
@@ChrisPatrick-q6k Lost my Dad from the same thing. I’ve got emphysema. Fuckin’ tobacco industry hooks on to us as kids and never let go. RIP George and Dad. 💜☮️🙏🏽Namaste…
@@Moo-Mee-Boo May your father RIP. It's terrible, I was born in 1980, started smoking when I was around 15 but was lucky, around 24 in a bar I put out a half smoked cigarette and never touched it again, I hate it. Got lucky I guess, may you find help through a lung transplant or some other treatment.
i dont think anyone has ever underrated george as guitarist vocalist or song writer anyone that knows anything about music considers him one of the best
George was such a beautiful guy he treated us fans with dignity and grace , I only had the pleasure to meet him once in Sydney when he was living in Australia. A true gentleman and gifted guitarist and songwriter
I always liked this song but damn this live version is so funky. What a gem of a song. And Georges playing is just top notch. No-one sounded like him. His guitars made a sound of thier own.
What an amazing guitarist and musician, and playing here again with his great friend Eric. George was consistently underrated and self-deprecating, but people who really know music know just how talented and skilled he was. One of the 4 musical geniuses who changed the world.
George has such good taste and feel To serve the song. Alot guitarist serve themselves. George takes no backseat . George never overplays. One of the Greats. Slide work is so Musicail.
This song is wonderful. Besides being a great human being, George was amazing, one of the best songwriters, guitarists and singers of all time, no doubt about that!!!
John, I don't disagree with how you feel. But I do postulate that he continued to be and still is underrated. The reason I say this is; 1) As a professional guitar player I can tell you many of my colleagues don't rate him highly, because of his approach to the instrument, B) Some of the posts I've seen on youtube alluding to George not having much finger dexterity because he either used Eric a lot or didn't play those fiddly kind of solos, (he could, I have some examples. It was really a tonal and musical approach not a virtuoso mindset), and C) Keith Richards was chosen over George in the Rolling Stone Poll. With all respect due Keith, George could play circles around him.
subg88 True. They were good friends and George admired Clapton's tone. Technically speaking George was a much more advanced guitarist. His use of augmented and diminished scales as far back as the first albums displayed just how advanced a guitarist he was before he was even 21.
What I loved about George was that you knew what he cared about, and you knew that he didn't pontificate or condescend his beliefs which a lot of celebrities currently do.
Ah, George Harrison's slide playing. Pretty underrated! And as always, very melodic, and serving the song. No mindless hurtling up to the 12th fret over and over like a lot of (boring) players do with the bottleneck.
Common with the under rated b.s. guys. He wasn't flashy or flamboyant. The 2 shows where his only tour in 18 years. Enough peers have called George the best slide player. His sneak and sweet ability to play a chromatic slide run is a thing of beauty and her difficult. Give Marwar Blues a lessen. Is there anything sweeter then all the instrument speaking to each other on Life Itself. George Harrison was strictly the man!
This music by George Harrison definitely catapults you to cloud 9-11/9. What an awesome treat listening to this timeless song. Fantastic melody, incredibly soulful music and arrangement. Glorious!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓🥂
ThecBeatles were extremely lucky to have had George as thier lead guitarist. Thier music would have never been as good without him. George was an very important part of thier music. Great guitarist. One of the greatest the music world will EVER Know.
The more and more I read about George, and watch the concerts and documentaries, there was nothing superficial about him at all, which is very rare these days. He was truly "living in the material world" waiting to meet his "sweet Lord". :-)
Como amo a este hombre! para mi es y sera siempre el mejor guitarrista, hay muchos ke hacen solos muy rápidos y no digo ke no sean buenos, pero nadie tiene el sentimiento con ese instrumento tan bello, como mi georgie. Música para el alma,s eñores!
Totalmente de acuerdo. Mi guitarrista británico favorito. Melódico, precioso, preciso y con un toque sentimental. Mi motivo por el que toco slide siempre. Por él digamos que el slide nunca falta en mi arsenal guitarristico.
In Georges band are the following: Eric Clapton (guitar), Andrew Fairweather low (guitar), Nathan East (bass), Chuck Leavell (keys), Greg Phillinganes (keys), Steve Ferrone (drums), Ray Cooper (percussion), Katie Kissoon & Tessa Niles (backup singers). It doesn't get much better than this!
I was just listening to George's gloriously luscious tone in those sweeping slides that had just the right amount of dirty edge in 'Free as a Bird'. The king of brevity, George could give you more in a few glorious and perfectly crafted notes than most guitar players could give you in a lifetime. I miss George.❤
Every time I see Ray Cooper, the more I'm reminded that he has to just go away. He takes 'over-dramatic' to a cosmic level. It's a tambourine, Ray, relax.
Thank so much for posting this. There is so little video of George playing lead in the last 20 years of his life, so this is a real treat. Thanks, once again.
He's just about my favourite slide player. Maybe there's better out there somewhere but I don't know their names and I frankly don't care. He just had an incredibly expressive touch on the slide.
the best musician ever.... he’s the one with the liberated soul...!!... u get a feeling looking and listening to him that he already belongs in a higher world and was just staying back for the love he had for all of us, for a little while longer.....just to say goodbyes 👋 .... u can’t talk that about anyone else......ppl may b with btr skills, but in totality what music should be, George epitomized it...lots of love to George...he’s such a gem...!
Excellent playing. Slide guitar is extremely difficult. Slide guitar in standard tuning, as George is doing here, is even harder. Even the great Buddy Guy admitted he found it so difficult, he decided not to pursue it.
***** It can't be. Look at the riff he is hitting at 1:40. He is holding the slide straight across the E, B and G strings at the 12th fret and is producing an Am triad (A, C and E). To do that you have to tune the B string up a half step and the G string up a whole step. The only way you could pull that off in standard tuning and have all the notes resonate is by holding the slide diagonally, which is damn near impossible to do in tune.
Mysidian Bard OK, fine. I made what seems to be an incorrect assumption based on the fact the George did use standard tuning on a lot of his slide work. I have yet to sit down and confirm this, but your posts persuade me to think you are right.
George is my GOD. He could do no wrong. Every single song is an experience. I particularly like "All things must pass" but every one's wonderful. His guitar skills are phenominal to say the least and to top it all, he was a lovely bloke. Miss you GH xxxxxxx
George is someone I aspire to be as a slide guitar player. Honestly. I started out by following jimmy page and the old delta blues men, then to jack white and many others but george has a special gift when it comes to slide guitar. He's so crisp and clean with it it blows my mind. How he got to be that clear with it is amazing. Such underrated guitar player.
Have my love It fits you like a glove Join my dream, tell me yes Bail out should there be a mess The pieces you don't need are mine Take my time I'll show you cloud nine Take my smile and my heart They were yours from the start The pieces to omit are mine Have my love Use it while it does you good Share my highs but the times That it hurts pay no mind Those pieces you don't need are mine I'll see you there on cloud nine Take my hope Maybe even share a joke If there's good to be shown You may make it all your own And if you want to quit that's fine While you're out looking for cloud nine

A Miracle for all of us!
He is the best not only as guitarist or song writer but he is one of the greatest man

Damn yes.
In deed!!
george was always my favorite beatle,
not just for the person he was,
but for his music !!
When Eric Clapton is playing rhythm guitar for you, you must be George Harrison.
Like his other Beatle colleague, Ringo, George is one of the most underrated musicians. IMHO the greatest and most original slide player out there.
check out derek trucks he's great too
I think George was underrated during the Beatles time. Afterwards for sure not. Look on his first solo album. Just amazing.

He didn't even use Clapton that much. A few songs on ATMP, a few songs on Cloud 9, and a couple songs in between.

Just absolutely lovely. Thank you. Amazing sliding.

Use it while it does you good
Share my highs but the times
That it hurts pay no mind
Those pieces you don't need are mine

Take my hope
Maybe even share a joke
If there's good to be shown
You may make it all your own
And if you want to quit that's fine
While you're out looking for cloud nine

We recognize his voice immediately .
Is this a great album or what?! Missin' you George, your in my heart!
