Yeah, and they apparently did it live, face to face in one take. I think they all know the end was near, but they wanted to show that they were all very good musicians.
George must have practiced his guitars a LOT once he finally gave up the sitar. He drastically improved between 1968 and 1969, like it's ridiculous how phenomenal he is on Abbey Road.
@@SgtPeppersLonelyHeartsClubBand In 1968, after he went on to L.A. with Ravi Shankar to continue his studies on sitar, but he released that he wasn't good enough for the instrument and Ravi convinced him to get back to guitar as his main instrument.
He's definitely a great influential guitar player. But at this time, people like Clapton, Freddie King and Hendrix did more impressive stuff imo. But yea, he's got that versatility going for him. No master in a specific genre, but great in various different ones.
He’s also dressing like each member during the End as well. It’s a well done performance. Though I think he substitutes a Gibson Les Paul in the solos where George would have played an SG.
@@deanroddey2881 And playing them the right way with the right tone. George always sounded so crystal clear and transparent - except when he wanted to sound naughty.
That last solo on The End by George, for all its simplicity, I think is the most moving and beautiful of them all. The notes are just so tasteful and melodic.
Some pretty big omissions here: Revolution, Sexy Sadie, Helter Skelter, Savoy Truffle, Get Back, Old Brown Shoe and I Want You (She's So Heavy) all have great solos. Old Brown Shoe's one is probably my favourite Beatles guitar solo ever
When I first heard the Beatles and saw them on Ed Sullivan, I was impressed with John Lennon's banjo type playing on All My Lovin and George Harrison's lead guitar playing through their history...
8:25 I'm not a musician but am a life-long Beatles fan. When I first read many years ago that the guitar solos in The End were all three of them I listened to it at once. You can hear straight away which part is Lennon but I could only hear 1 player before that. That meant I thought soloist 3 was after Lennon and so everything went out of whack. I thought about this every time I heard it. It took me ages and many listens (and probably reading somewhere that the order was M-H-L) to realise that the first bit was 2 bits and not one bit. They seemed to flow into each other so well that they sounded like one person to me. Now I wonder what the problem was. Anyway, I've now seen them played, so well done. I wish you (and the internet) had been around a few decades ago.
Thank you for taking the time to make this gem and putting it up! I have just finished Geoff Emerick's book "Here There and Everywhere". Mr. Emerick very harshly criticized George as a guitar player in this book. Emerick was fortunate enough to be the Beatles sound engineer at EMI from the beginning of their career and is responsible for many innovations in the Beatles unique sound. He later stated George became a better musician with each passing year of album recording. Emerick was extremely biased in the book and constantly praised Paul as the only natural talent in the band on any instrument. My opinion has always been that George Harrison was always the better natural musician. They pushed each other to achieve excellence. George is arguably the best slide guitar player of his time, along with being a master songwriter, arranger, singer and producer. His process was much different. Your extremely well played demo of Harrisons most iconic riffs is proof positive for me. His cord progression, timing and natural feel for what sound works best is unmatched. His success as the lead guitarist for the Beatles and as a superstar solo artist represents musical intelligence coupled with many thousands of hours of practice to get each lick perfect. His standards were very high and he worked hard at it until the best musical compliment was achieved in every song. Your note for note playing on the original guitars clearly demonstrated this and really did him justice. Just watching George Harrisons perfect touch on his slide guitar solo on Lennon's "How do you sleep at night' video further highlights his absolute brilliance as a guitar player like no other!
Such a great description of George’s talent. He wasn’t flashy or great at improvising, by his own admission. He was a great composer, and took *time* to feel out the best melodic pathway for his part to fit the song. I find his solos with the Beatles to be the kind you can sing to yourself note-for-note, with a perfect tone and feel for the song. The Emerick book is largely a bunch of made-up shit anyway, he admitted he couldn’t even remember when things were recorded or with whom.
I wouldn't take anything Emerick says as gospel.... a lot of his book is fictional and he was called out for it by more than one person who were also eye-witnesses in the studio. Paul being the better musician isn't true or false because at the end of the day it's all different opinions from different people. Even if (**IF**) some of Emerick's recollections of George are fully or partially true, the guy was the youngest Beatle and had a much less forceful personality compared to John and Paul. George just needed extra time to blossom, and blossom he did!! People forget he wanted to stop being a Beatle in '66 but Brian more or less forced/coerced him to stay. Good thing too since it was to George's benefit that he stayed a Beatle--because he vastly improved as both a songwriter and a guitar player in those three years. By the end of '69 he didn't need to be a Beatle anymore, and the rest is history.
Is there one single solo played by George that couldn't be played by any other semi profesional guitar player? His solos sound great, sure, but they're not complex or too difficult.
This is one of the most authentic versions I have ever heard. And so great too. The details are incredible, and very much like the originals. I Wonder if Hey Bulldog was a duette or if George played it himself?
It bothers me when people say George brought Clapton in to play the lead on WMGGW because “he couldn’t play it”. Baloney. He brought Clapton in to stop the bickering. George could have played that solo himself but knew by bringing in EC it would send a message to the other two.
Thank you for your perfect presentation in every way. Your performance illustrates George Harrison's outstanding contribution to the typical sound of the Beatles. Even many connoisseurs of the music of the Beatles were or are not aware of this elementary fact. These melodies have accompanied me for more than 50 years. So far, I have not experienced a music group whose repertoire covers a comparably broad spectrum. I experience the sound and melodies today as modern and invigorating as they were when they were first released. With your top-class performance, you have made an extremely valuable contribution to the preservation of these musical treasures. Do you know a group that distinguishes a comparably wide range of melodies?
Immediately after Lennon's third solo, the piano chords of the final line "And in the end ..." begin. Then the orchestration arrangement takes over with a humming chorus and Harrison playing a final guitar solo that ends the song. So the final lead at the end of THE END was by George. How fitting. ❤
FYI, that's Harrison on the solo for 'Bulldog.' I know there's some controversy around it, but studying their playing styles it's George hands down. John did not have that kind of technical skill. BTW you handled the solo to Something masterfully and your version of 'Maxwell' is spot on!
@héctor escobar medina Escobar pero en el caso de hey bulldog se refiere al solo como tal, no al riff de la canción; un ejemplo de Lennon tocando un solo es en you cant do that, the end y get back; la última siendo donde se luce mas por que ha adquirido mas experiencia, pero sus solos pasados siempre eran muy rítmicos y mas en base a acordes en vez de melódicos y precisos como los de Harrison
@@markhewitt3157 Its possible. It's also possible that George overdubbed the guitar. Either way we really dont know because we weren't there. However the style and technique are Harrison all the way
You missed Come Together's first guitar solo (you just played the 2nd), the outro solo's of You Never Give Me Your Money (you just played the main one). Other than, very well and accurately played!
I know I’m a couple years late. But you’re rendition of One After 909 is perfect, it felt like I was listening to the actual song on Spotify. Good job and keep it up
the minute flourishes George added and was given no equal writing credit for are the things we often look past but they do make the songs as memorable as they have become in our collective consciousness.
there are a number of songs George should have gotten writing credit for. not solos but signature riffs and hooks that became main parts of the song, and I love her, you can't do that ticket to ride, in my life eleanor rigby drive my car etc
Good job. It always amazes me that out of all the chaos, bickering, boredom and everything else going on at the time, they somehow managed to get serious long enough every few days to crank out a song any other group would have given their left nut to have released.
Классно сделано. Спасибо, пробудили во мне битломана. А и отдельная благодарность за прекрасное исполнение Hey Bulldog и The End Well done. Thank you for awakening the beatleman in me. And special thanks for the wonderful performance of Hey Bulldog, The End
Fantastic work! Really enjoyed this. Always knew George could play, but when you see it like this, it's magical! Thanks so much! Also ditto for the other 2!
George was an amazing guitarist in the way that Ringo was an amazing drummer. They felt what the song needed and figured out a way to make it fit. That's what made the Beatles great. Great minds with great ideas, but also the quality to arrange and play it in a way that served each song the best.
At 68. I’ve had arthritis in my fingers since early teens A skilled mason. But crappy guitar playing my fingers lock🎸 up and it hurts. So I’ve been playing 🥁drums all the years But my fav is guitar.. Thanks for ur great work.
George is a great guitarist, perhaps the most stimulating in the search for sounds in solos. Thanks for this amazing video and congratulations on the guitarist's skills
George tocava muita guitarra, depois dos Beatles, provou isso em trabalhos solos, também em várias apresentações em grupos diferentes, quem não viu a formação dos Traviling Wilburis, tem que ver, só ícones
I played this version of The End about five times, so well done here! I enjoyed hearing McCartney play it with his current band's guitarists (Brian Ray and Rusty Anderson) a few years ago; he really gets into ripping out a solo.
This guy, on top of having stolen George's guitars Rocky, Lucy and the rosewood Telecaster, has devoted endless hours to get the tone, the feel and nearly the exact lead guitar parts of the Beatle songs. Great job!

@@catherinewilson3880 as i've said george did the lead part on the single version the one with flanger like effect, paul overdubbed the lead part on the album version
probably not the one he used but a crayon pedal works wonder with late 60s distortion tone and to get that tone a lesley speakr or effect works out, maybe a flange
thats one solo I'm not sure who it was played by. There are 3 in the song. 1st one is John and then 2 on top of each other and I'm not sure who plays which
It was great to hear and watch the stand-in for George with your given talents too. I often wonder though, although it's never come out -- if the Beatles didn't have any outside help in the creating so many of the guitar leads! (Hard for me to imagine all created by these four guys). And as mentioned in other comments, Paul was also a guitarist whom I've heard contributed many guitar parts. Nothing in disrespect of course - And, I wouldn't hold anything against them if they did. I heard George say once, that Paul created the intro to Day Tripper, etc. George wasn't a flashy guitarist, but so dedicated and cool. No doubt, together were sensational and FAB! KEN
Hmm... I'm not saying you're wrong but I'm pretty sure Paul didn't create the intro to Day Tripper--he created/played the intro to "Paperback Writer" tho.
George Harrison é o escultor do Rock. Cada nota está absolutamente onde deveria estar, sem sobrar ou faltar. É um recheio de trufas que é o que fica depois de comermos um bolo, é a parte da música que define a grandeza do que ela é, é outra melodia que enriquece a composição e praticamente cria uma música dentro da outra. É muito brilhante!!!

People always say or ask was George a good guitar player. Paul once said, "Well he's the lead guitar player for The Beatles." Enough said.
Paul was also a great guitar player; doesn't take anything away from George.
And the John?
@@Kinn700 He's a better rhythm guitarist in my opinion
@@Kinn700 Also a great guitar player.
@@Mike_B. Yes!
“The End” hits different now I know every Beatle had a solo on it.
@@fartmachine7486 yeah, an ultimate showcase of each member's talent
O

its one of the only times john lennon asked yoko ono to wait outside the studio
Their first and last guitar battle!
George’s playing on Abbey Road is so good
Yeah I noticed that too
George told Paul that if he criticized his playing, he would leave the band immediately.
Exactly! That's when he really hit top-form George
@@MarriedMindless do you have a source? I would like to read more about that
His best work was on Revolver, Abbey Road and Let It Be imo. I really like his 1964 sounds too but he got better at the end I think.
George must have practiced his guitars a LOT once he finally gave up the sitar. He drastically improved between 1968 and 1969, like it's ridiculous how phenomenal he is on Abbey Road.
When he got back to it, and when he learned slide, his playing developed a different sensibility.
He jammed with Clapton, and after Hendrix everybody took their game to the next level
when did he quit the sitar?
@@SgtPeppersLonelyHeartsClubBand In 1968, after he went on to L.A. with Ravi Shankar to continue his studies on sitar, but he released that he wasn't good enough for the instrument and Ravi convinced him to get back to guitar as his main instrument.
Another amazingly overlooked early George solo was Crying Waiting Hoping live at the BBC. Thank me later
George was a genius. His playing around this period was so great and beautiful.
all the solos are not george's
@@smith5455 he’s not talking about the solos that are not George’s. He talking about George.
@@johnp515 really? Are u reading his mind?
@@smith5455the first guy clearly said “his playing” following up what he said about George
@@smith5455 🥇
Show this to anyone who thinks George wasn't a good guitarist. His sheer versatility was staggering for starters...
Post Beatles he became a great slide player. His tone and phrasing were sweet.
@@deanevangelista6359 yes, I think he shines more on slide, cause George was all abot melody and not tons of blues licks and faster stuff
one good example of his versatility is the jazyy solo in til there was you
He's definitely a great influential guitar player. But at this time, people like Clapton, Freddie King and Hendrix did more impressive stuff imo. But yea, he's got that versatility going for him. No master in a specific genre, but great in various different ones.
@@italozanoti7180 That solo is nuts
I just noticed that during "the end" solo he mirrored himself when he was playing paul's sections because paul's is left handed
That's right!
He’s also dressing like each member during the End as well. It’s a well done performance. Though I think he substitutes a Gibson Les Paul in the solos where George would have played an SG.
@@386Clarke I think George had given away his sg at this point
Man, George KILLED it on Abbey Road!
He really did. Uber-tasty melodic solos. it's not about speed or mega-technique, it's about the right notes at the right times.
George and Paul hit their peak as musicians on that album in my opinion
@@deanroddey2881 And playing them the right way with the right tone. George always sounded so crystal clear and transparent - except when he wanted to sound naughty.
@@deanroddey2881 My favorite kind of guitar playing is the melodic stuff and George was the best at that, in my opinion.
So impressive. This guy has the right guitars, amps, and mic. So impressive. Thanks for making this.
None of these were originally recorded with a Vox. The Beatles were using Fender amps at this point.
@@PJmichelle This is correct 👍🏻
@@PJmichelle Still though, his guitar collection is indicative of a serious Beatles fan (with a pretty good income.)
@@PJmichelle yes mostly on a 68 deluxe or twin reverb
I always felt like something was on the tele but everyone seems to have their own opinions on that lol

Wasn't Paul McCartney playing solo on Back in the USSR ?

Geoff Emerick insisted it was George who played the solo for Hey Bulldog. He said he had his amp cranked extremely high and did play the solo.
makes sense, john never plays the solo
@@SgtPeppersLonelyHeartsClubBand he does in a few songs
You nailed them all. Great job! Your string bending is pitch-perfect.
What about "I Want You/She's So Heavy" ? John Lennon does the solo break in the middle. Harrison does the intro solo.
Great guitar solos. Thanks.
Savoy Truffle and Old Brown Shoe have two of my absolute favorite Beatles solos... especially Old Brown Shoe!
Would have loved to see George’s solo on Savoy Truffle. Absolute biting guitar notes!

Lovely stuff. One question: Why no solos from 'Revolution', 'Get Back' or 'For You Blue'?
Let it be (album version) is played by Paul, the version of the single included in the Past Masters is played by George...
No, it's not. It was added as an overdub by George on January 4th, 1970. Paul did not play any guitar on Let it Be.
@@catherinewilson3880 as i've said george did the lead part on the single version the one with flanger like effect, paul overdubbed the lead part on the album version
What distortion did u use for the “Yer Blues” solo? It sounded superb, never heard someone nail that solo before!
I think George used a fretless guitar for solo
No it was the Gibson Les Paul red guitar nicknamed Lucy.
I think, as with Revolution, the guitar was plugged straight into the console and the preamp cranked.
probably not the one he used but a crayon pedal works wonder with late 60s distortion tone and to get that tone a lesley speakr or effect works out, maybe a flange

It was great to hear and watch the stand-in for George with your given talents too. I often wonder though, although it's never come out -- if the Beatles didn't have any outside help in the creating so many of the guitar leads! (Hard for me to imagine all created by these four guys). And as mentioned in other comments, Paul was also a guitarist whom I've heard contributed many guitar parts. Nothing in disrespect of course - And, I wouldn't hold anything against them if they did. I heard George say once, that Paul created the intro to Day Tripper, etc. George wasn't a flashy guitarist, but so dedicated and cool. No doubt, together were sensational and FAB! KEN
Hmm... I'm not saying you're wrong but I'm pretty sure Paul didn't create the intro to Day Tripper--he created/played the intro to "Paperback Writer" tho.
John created the daytripper lead
great job!! nailed it!! you area great player!
Amazing!!!!
George Harrison é o escultor do Rock. Cada nota está absolutamente onde deveria estar, sem sobrar ou faltar. É um recheio de trufas que é o que fica depois de comermos um bolo, é a parte da música que define a grandeza do que ela é, é outra melodia que enriquece a composição e praticamente cria uma música dentro da outra. É muito brilhante!!!
What about Happiness is a warm gun, Helter skelter, Savoy Truffle, Old Brown Shoe, Golden Slumbers, Get Back?
There are a lot of great songs that I didn't record. maybe later!
yes that is sounding very nice!! Bravo!
Greatest Band Ever
