You cant do that
I sometimes think George Harrison is one of the most underrated guitar players of all time. He broke so much new ground, was so melodic in his approach, with incredible sensitivity, feel, phrasing and understated execution. He came up with so much originality at such a very young age. Paul McCartney talks about this.
When you have lived in jimmi hendrix, eric clapton, or Jimmi page's era its understable
@@tomgat6314 If these people could read they'd be very upset
I do not consider the Beatles my favorite band, I do not consider George my favorite guitar player - BUT The Beatles did nearly everything before anybody else. George was only 28 when the Beatles broke up. He wasn't even 30 after what the Beatles accomplished. They were so game changing, so influential, so important. Their songs were so great, so ground breaking. It's hard to believe one band, four people, accomplished what they did.
George is an underrated Guitar Player AND and underrated Songwriter AND an underrated Singer. To me, George Harrison wrote easily the best 2 songs on Abbey Road. Watch George play with Paul Simon on their SNL appearance - you don't even miss Art Garfunkel, George harmonizes so well.
@@tomgat6314 Different styles but George deserves to be placed at that level too.
Also he was a fantastic song writer. IMHO the best songs ofThe Beatles are George's.
Something, Here comes the Sun, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, The Inner Light...
As I said, my opinion.
It's more that he was no where near as flamboyant as his peers. He wasn't even as flamboyant as John and Paul. He played some beautiful stuff and accentted every song, especially the solos. Exactly what's was needed and not a note more. Always a perfect choice of notes. His Beatle work, as a lot of you guys know was not let it rip. I will go on record and say he was the best slide player and that include almon and Beck. Slide is all about pitch. Listen to and even watch given the chance of his solo work start with a few songs from Lennon's Imagine album and badfingers Day After Day. Have a listen to and watch the live version of Cheer Down and Cloud Nine. An amazing solo on This is Love. Have a listen to his final album, Brainwashed...
Give me plenty of that guitar.
Octopus's Garden is on of the most underrated songs in the world
Thanks for your comment. yes, I think so, too.
What a brilliant guitar work
I’m glad it made the Blue Album 😊
@@ClassicKrusty What do you mean? I'm pretty sure its from Abbey Road, and isn't the blue album a weezer album?
because Octopus's Garden took place Underwater
That Let it be solo is simply magic.
Having Beatles TOP 10 list should be illegal, 10 just won't do it.
There’s your ten likes my friend
Me and two friends made a list of our top ten Beatle songs to see where we were in terms of our appreciation and surprisingly, they were ALL different. That’s how good they were.......
Beatles for ever. !!
George Harrison as a guitarist is criminally underrated. In my books a total legend. Great playing!
So, why hasn't any arrests been made?
Another meaningless dopey "underrated" comment.
Next to Clapton, George is my fav guitarist of all time
He was just a twenty-something as he created the great Beatles' sound. One after another, immortal sounds.
Big props for including Til there was You
Best one imo.
@@AzBboy its so good. and you know its so good when it just flows into the song so subtle no need to say "HEY IM A SOLO" . that's the greatness of these solos, they don't need to shout out "HEY ARE ARRIVED" they are just part of the composition with a wonderful and meaningful balance.
Fax
Love that solo! Too bad George didn't get more opportunities in that style - but they were shooting for being a rock n roll band, not a broadway musicals band.
@@franciscosar819 That's part of their charm! Tastefull and discrete. As you wrote, ..."wonderful and meaningful balance"
Important thing to note: Paul plays the duel lead guitar part on And Your Bird Can Sing and John plays lead on Get Back. Of course, they all play the triple solo on The End. George was definitely the best of the three, but they could all shred on guitar!
Yes they are all amazing!
@@jessicacosiguitar
George Harrison taught John Lennon how to play the guitar. First time George Harrison met John Lennon he had a guitar with only four strings on it. George said to john, "what are you doing?"John's guitar didn't even have six strings. John Lennon would come a long way with George Harrison's help. I'm pretty sure Paul McCartney's guitar playing evolved from George Harrison as well. And yes, they were all great guitarists, but George Harrison was still a cut above them.
@@randycoursey7230 Yes, I know that story, if I'm not mistaken, the first chords he learned were those on the banjo!
@@jessicacosiguitar
Yes I have heard that as well. All three Beatles would become accomplished guitar players, but it was George Harrison who was actually the accomplished one first. As good as John Lennon and Paul McCartney were on guitar, they still were not nearly as polished and technical as George Harrison. I remember an interview where John Lennon was saying that Eric Clapton says I can play the guitar, LOL. John Lennon was also quoted as saying if you give him a guitar he can get something out of it, which he did. He was also quoted as saying he was nowhere near the level of George Harrison but he could get something out of playing a guitar. John Lennon had become a very good rhythm guitar player with the Beatles, but he eventually evolved into a good lead guitar player as well. I Want You, Get Back, showcase John Lennon's ability to play lead guitar.
@@randycoursey7230 It was Paul that taught John how to play and tune his guitar. When they met, John was playing banjo chords and Paul helped him
The solo for "Till There Was You" is stellar.
Absolutely :)
Was thinking that! The Beatles early music is so underrated! Till there was you and all my loving are some of my faves!
Agree... One of my all time fave solos
Yeah, definitely some of George’s more jazzy playing
Is sad, completely sad, it's my favourite ❤️
George was not a off-the-cuff soloist. He admitted as much many times. However, he really worked things out and eventually came up with the perfect part for the song and you can hear this in the Anthology cds. His guitar work on "Tomorrow Never Knows" is a great example. We heard his solo backwards on the finished work, but he wrote it out to be played backward and sound good, not just a jumble of notes like so many after The Beatles who didn't realize what they were hearing. This is musical genius.
I didn't know that about Tomorrow Never Knows. Freaking amazing.
It was actually Paul who played the solo on tomorrow never knows, but what you said about George is true for I’m only Sleeping
@@nickdalwoodmusic According to Revoluton In The Head, the guitar solo is the solo from Taxman played backwards. Said solo was played by Paul.
@@sweedlepipe Yeah I’ve heard that theory, but I don’t think it’s true. The notes don’t line up.
Being a boomer and a Beatles longtime fan, I've heard these guitar solos maybe a million times and have taken them for granted, but seeing how you have to play the guitar to get these sounds I am amazed and could only utter "genius"! Thank you.
Thank you for watching and your heart warming comments!
George might not have looked or acted like a shredding guitar god (Jimmy Page; Eddie Van Halen) but his guiatr work is so melodic and beautiful (Something; The End) you don't get that too often from hard rockers or metal, even if Harrison proved he can be just as gritty, dirty and blues oriented in his guitar playing like his buddy from Cream
Just one of the things that sets "Beatle Music"apart from other genre's.....It is just so diverse and eclectic, it literally defies description.......Helter Skelter, Octopus's Garden, Elinore Rigby, I am the Walrus........The Beatles will always rule....There will never be another.....
Yeah, he really focused on phrasing. That’s why him and Gil our are my favorite guitarists!
While one can always note Eddie Van Halen's shredding, I always thought that he went outside the song with it rather than staying within the song and supporting it. It was like showing off. I did not get same feeling with George's work. It is kinda like a drum solo that is not suppose to be there.
Definitely agree with you sir.
Let's see John Lennon played lead guitar on the song Get back. Paul McCartney and George Harrison both played lead guitar on And Your Bird Can Sing, on the song The End all three play lead guitar, but it's George Harrison's lead guitar right at the end of this song that makes it something special. And every other song featured here has George Harrison on lead guitar. A big shout out to this guy here playing these great guitar riffs and leads. He nailed every one of them.
george was a genius
Indeed he was.
Amazing Lead guitar, that's the reason John and Paul picked him for the band, and the fact that he knew songs and chords that neither Paul or John knew at the time.
@@MrBluesboy21 George to me was a harmonist. He did wonderful things.
Then John Lennon must be a god along with the other 3 beatles
Kjell my favorite member of the band
George’s solos were so melodic !!
A perfect fit for every song
He didn’t need to be flashy
I will always love George Harrison. He is unquestionably my favorite guitarist, his melodies and cord progressions were brilliant. Lennon and McCartney appreciated George for that, too bad they didn't appreciate the fact that he had became an excellent songwriter too.
Viewing the Get Back documentary, you can see Paul's really interested when George asked him if he wanted to hear his new song (I me mine) . A little bit later, we saw John Lennon mocking his song and George being a bit frustrated to say the least.
@@sylvainguillemettte2800
Yes, I believe John Lennon was quoted as saying that I Me Mine sounded like a waltz. I never made that connection. I think John Lennon was purely jealous. The song features great guitar work by Harrison and a great organ by Billy Preston. Harrison had brought Billy Preston to the Let It Be sessions.
1. The End (Paul, George, John)
2. Something (George)
3. While My Guitar Gently Weeps (Clapton)
4. Taxman (Paul)
5. Let It Be (George)
.
But the ghost solo made John...;)
Let it be (Paul McCartney John lennon)
@@eduardoespinosa3319 let it be solo was George !!!! You really don't know about it !
Eduardo Espinosa He’s talking about who played the solo (George), not who wrote it (Paul, although credited to John & Paul).
Paul didn't do the taxman solo, even though he claimed he did
George was an amazing guitarist. He really knew how to make a solo pop, and when to shift to a different key. Dude was great, I know 99% of us in the comments including me can’t play like him
Now for the next 100 plus!
Amazing how you get the exact tones.
Thanks for your comment about my tones. It was hard to simulate their old axes.
@@KenjiMorita How did you do so on I saw her standing there?
Not quite. Octopus's Garden was played by George on his Tele..
@@c.t.martin3915 I sticked to simulate that's characteristic reverb.
..right, it's only 6 decade old technology..
Those online guitar “experts” who knock Harrison should give the solo to “Old Brown Shoe” a whirl. It’s hard as hell.
Which ones knock him?
Builderphill People who think the only way to be a great guitarist is to shred like Jon Petrucci (no disrespect to him, he’s also amazing!)
George's phrasing is beautiful, and his bends are perfect.
it may be his most difficult solo to play
And this Kenji guy nails it!
You missed:
1.I want you (shes so heavy)
2.taxman
3 good morning good morning
4.Tommorow never knows
Psychedelic Cat while my guitar gently weeps
George Lopez that’s Eric Clapton. I understand entirely that it is a Beatles song but it’s common knowledge that none of the Beatles played those solos
Psychedelic Cat how to spot a revolver fan
@@dominicritchie2197 ;) aha
I Want You solo is so great, I love to play it, also the bass and the riff
George is undoubtedly an innovative guitarist in all areas.
ビートルズ歴５７年!
どのフレイズも、頭の中に確りインプットされています ❣
再現力が素晴らしい ❣
何の違和感なく聴けます、Thank you, Kenji ❣
ありがとうございます！
The Let it Be solo (especially the album version) is really underrated, j think bc the song itself is so great, that the solo gets overlooked.
Overlooked? At all, look others' remarks here about George's meaningful phrasing and balance. It's epic to me!
@@joseantoniorodilla1118
Overlooked? My girlfriend was all over me after hearing the Stinging Album version when we were in HS. I was all over me too! Lol!
Jose Antonio Rodilla I didn’t say it wasn’t great. I just said overlooked.
not by me. It blew my head off when I was 10, and it is, imo, the best version of Let It Be that they've released.
-i think single-version has much more tasteful solo than album-version.Song is so elegant and philosophical that rough and raw album solo fit not so good in it.
George was one of the first guitarists I really looked up to when I was younger and he’s still one of my biggest guitar heroes, he definitely had such a unique style and his playing always fit the song
Excellent video, well played, thank you. George's solo on the end of The End is pure genius.
You do realize John Paul and George traded off on that solo?
@@charleshawtrey5636 pretty sure he means the melodic riff played at the end of the song which was played by George (starting at 6:01 on this video)
The let it be album
version is my favorite one.
It really expresses what
the song is all about.
素晴らしいのはもちろんですが音色の整合性。こだわりに愛の強さが伝わります♪日本人ビートルズファンの誇り！！
The album version solo of Let It Be is so superior to the single version.
I’ve always felt the opposite, the album version is better in technicality but I like the sound of the single version one better
I like the single version of Let It Be better but the album's solo is better in my opinion
The album version is much more Rock 'n Roll
@@karlosdaniel6537 true
Completely agreed
And Your Bird Can Sing at 1:10 , 55 years and I still love that intro!
You really have very cool guitars
Not the most virtuoso guitarist in the world, however I always get the sense every note was thought about and felt it was actually composed and masterfully. It's relatively easy to learn a few fast licks and repeat them time and time again - harder to come up with something new time and time again but that is the strength of the Beatles in general. They were endlessly creative and never allowed themselves to become clichéd.
John never gets credit for his solo on Get Back.
He has better solos
Probably because George is the lead guitarist, and everyone thinks he plays all the lead guitar parts. I too thought it was George playing
lead on " _Get Back_ " until I seen the " *LET IT BE* " movie back in 1970. John was a good guitarist! 🚶♂️🚶♂️🚶♂🚶 🎸
@@garychambers5850 George said once that people usually told him how great some of his Beatles solos were. He used to reply that he didn't play that solo. As far as I can remember, the example he gave was 'Taxman', in which the guitar solo was played by Paul.
@@rikkousa helter shelter lol
@@mr__campoos yes, I think Paul also played a "fuzz bass" lead on THINK FOR YOURSELF. Thx!
Is no one going to talk about the George guitar?? So cool
I’m painting one rn
Flawless rendition. You even did the two versions of Let it be and the guitar three-part "duel"from the Abbey Rd medley. Awesome!
Let it be solo covers never fails to give me shivers down my spine
I think the I Dig a Pony lead is absolutely amazing and without doubt is my favorite Beatles guitar lead. It proves you don't have to play loud, distorted, aggressive, and fast to be bad ass, so much passion and feel in that lead its insane - and this is coming from a huge Page/Hendrix fan
森田さん、すごい！！！
素晴らしい演奏です、おめでとうございます！
感激しました。
ペルーからよろしく。
These are as well-played as I’ve heard anywhere. The brilliance here specifically isn’t hitting the right notes, it is expressing the feel. Very difficult and very awesome! Thanks for the treat.
Thank you for your wonderful comment.
It’s “Something” for me ... the phrasing & melody of the solo is superb.
Best covers of these solos I've ever heard. And I've been listening to players cover these songs since I was a child in the 70's.
ジョージは本当に最高です。ジョージ独特の良さがあります。Let it be では、やはりアルバム・ヴァージョンが最高です。
とても魅力的に聞こえました。トーンもイントネーションも、それにニュアンスが絶妙で、もっと聞かせて欲しいなあ。
Wow. You absolutely NAILED every single song. I am a big Beatles fan, and I'm blown away. You could be in The Beatles.
I forgot to add...this guitarist' performance is a wonderful and accomplished tribute to George and the band.
"And Your Bird Can Sing" - George Harrison and Paul McCartney
"Get Back" - John Lennon
"Can't Buy Me Love" - Paul McCartney
"The End" - Paul McCartney, George Harrison and John Lennon (in this order)
The others are pure George style.
@@michaelcolarossi4326 there are two solos in "Can't Buy Me Love". One of them are Paul, but the main solo is George.
Can't buy me love is George, both guitars. It's not questioned. Actually Paul didn't play any lead guitar until the help album
The Beatles are my 2 favourite band and I know almost most of their song, you got them exactly right
Thanx for the The End solos. It is so seamless and intuitive on the album that it was a revelation to me when, years ago, I found out it was all three, and played live.
The guitar leads/riffs of the beatles is minimalism at its most perfect.
All the right notes in the right place, and no extra notes.
I think it was Clapton who said: "it's the notes you don't play that make the lead"...i.e. Good taste....
I love the solo for "And your bird can sing" awesome
My favourite Beatle song is The End and you honored it....
Thank you. May all the world watch your video.
素敵な演奏をありがとうございます。12弦のリッケンバッカーのパートを2台のギターで表現された所はアイデアものでした。高校生の頃この動画を見ていたら今でもギターがひけていたかな。

Most underrated Beatles solo: Savoy Truffle
@MagicalMysteryTube george did that arrangement
You nailed the solos. Great video! Something that I always appreciated about George's guitar playing, which was also true for Paul's and John's soloing (John created and played the solo for "Get Back" because George had quit the band in January 1969) was the precision of their string bending. George once stressed the importance of getting the accurate pitch when bending strings (I hear many guitarists, including big names, fail miserably at that). You did a fine job in that regard too.
Slightly easier nowadays with lighter gauge strings than was available at the time (Clapton famously used banjo strings for the top when he was in the Yardbirds), but don't take that as criticism - this is very well done indeed.
Yes, George's bending is very correct. especially in Abbey Road album. I love his accurate play in Something & Octopus's Garden. And I like John's play, too. His play is sloppy. and I recognize it is his individuality.
Everyone should own 'Beatles - The Complete Scores'. Great insight into their artistry, from guitar to bass to drums. They always each played together for the song; the whole. So many play for themselves; the solo, showing off.
It’s been two years since I’ve heard your masterful recreation of these solos. Still, after listening to dozens of other players’ attempts I’ve still not heard anything better. So awesome. Thanks!
Bravo!
I played in a Beatles cover band and did all those solos. With a few changes to position on the neck, I played them just like you did.
By the way, isn't it wonderful how the Beatles gave us such a wealth of solos to have fun with on stage? I feel GREAT every thim I play these solos. There's something about them - the variety, development, and mixing of rock and pop that just makes you feel good hearing them.
Good job!
I almost forgot. Because I was the only guitarist capable of soloing in the group, I played BOTH parts simultaneously of AND YOUR BIRD CAN SING.
Good job. Lots of great memories for those of us who were around when these "evergreen" tunes were first released.
Great job on the album version of Let It Be! That lead always struck me .
The something solo is what got me to start playing guitar!
The simplistic genius of George Harrison!
And I love her is such a great solo; it’s simple delicate and really completes the song
Wonderful job. Thanks for this musical gift, Kenji. "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make." Kind of a perfect thought as we all try to get through the pandemic together.
I Think you nailed it with all of the songs Great Job.
Thank you.
I've been playing for about 2 years now and always loved The Beatles. But only recently have I taken such an interest in learning some of their songs. Now I'm absolutely hooked on them. It's amazing at how well written all their music is. I never realized how good they really were until now.
Love the video. Great covers of the solos. I only have two comments:
I have a small quibble with leaving out Clapton’s brilliant solo for “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.” The recording was Beatles, the composition was Harrison’s, and the choice to invite Clapton was Harrison’s. Clapton even played Harrison’s red Les Paul (“Lucy”), which had been a gift from Clapton to Harrison. For all these reasons, I think it should be considered a “Beatles” guitar solo.
The only other suggestion - and I know it might be hard - but it would be nice to see the name of the Beatle that played each solo on the original recording.
Other than these two minor critiques, I give total props to the talent and musicianship of the guitarist in this video. Thanks, and keep up the great work!
Yes I understand your thought. And lots of people have same thought probably.
But I don't think that this solo has Beatles feeling.
And this solo is too long. I might use up half the playback time of this video.That's why I didn't choose While My Guitar Gently Weeps.
Of course, I love this song. I think that solo is masterpiece of Clapton.
Can I say something? That was fabulous, spot-on, and inspiring, Kenji. You nailed it and I'm a huge Beatles fan from way back and it's nice to see the younger generation has an interest in one of the best all-time bands that have ever graced this earth. Keep on rocking!
Great tone, rhythm and feel. Thank you!
I think George’s natural modesty may him a better guitar soloist and made many of the Beatles recordings much more balanced and melodic overall.
I love the inclusion of Old Brown Shoe! That is one of the most underrated songs by the Beatles
Drive my car
Taxman
Hey bulldog
Day tripper

Back in the ussr
Helter skelter haves not solo
@@hombrerusode40anos72 1.35-1.45 part of the song can be considered as a solo
@@metehandur3653 thanks
while my guitar gently weeps
There's always a guy like this in the comment section. Yea all the songs you have listed have a great solos, but we all have different opinions at least you can respect his opinion and save your comment for other videos :)
Lennon plays the Get Back solo. George was incredible.
Love the Something solo
George's solo on "Let It Be" on the 1970 album LET IT BE was and still is the greatest and the most touching guitar riffs ever..
Missing:
I, me, mine
I’ve got a feeling
Dear Prudence
Those songs have amazing guitar work but they do not have guitar solos
Something guitar solo is the best man
Is there a better example of a guitarist growing in brilliance between two songs than 'I Saw Her Standing There' through to 'Something'?
Saw an interview where george said he never practiced. He would just pick up the guitar for sessions.
A natural.
Great job! You choose the right guitars for each sound. Tone quality is what makes these songs so awesome and you nailed the tones.
If you want to know and experience how good George really was, go and listen to Alvin Lee' s "The Bluest Blues" and read what Alvin had to say. George's slide there is top notch
Great tribute to Beatle George.
And John and Paul sometimes
Taxman, for sure. And All My Loving is one of the sweetest little guitar solos of all time.
Why are there 384 dislikes? I half these folks don't even play guitar. This is fantastic playing.
I play and even if you learn the chords and strings to play you never get the right distortion/tone! Maybe I just need a new amp lol
Another solo I love is the one in Hey Bulldog.
one of my absolute favourite beatles songs, im happy its starting to get some more recognition
@@captainsdameron Cheers! ruclips.net/video/sxqzMYjjkW8/видео.html
Cada día veo nuevas listas con "los mejores solos" y todo eso.
Pero nunca veo el que más veces he escuchado en mi vida, y posiblemente, el que más veces han escuchado los fans de los Beatles. "You never give me your money".
That was a rocky strato !!!
I feel like no one really gives that much credit to ‘Till there was you’ I’m so happy you added that in because that is by far the best Beatles solo
For a laugh, the original version more or less ruclips.net/video/JLDsLeVxOaU/видео.html
George sat quietly in the corner watching ALL the chef's running around frantic and confused, he then would quietly walk over and put the icing on the cake...
Yepp. And just check his slide solo on Alvin Lee's "The Bluest Blues". Incredible
No Drive My Car, Taxman, Michelle, or Nowhere Man...oh well. Also, a maple board Rocky? That's a first
very satisfying video for an old guitarist like myself to watch and marvel at. You did the boys justice.
Just found out your channel and let me tell you that you deserve way way more subscribers, the fidelity of your covers is exquisite. Saludos desde México
Thanks to remind me how genious George was. A very important Beatle.
The first one is the coolest guitar I have ever seen
Georges died but he's beautiful signature solos remained...Thanks Kenji!
and your bird can sing will always shred so hard. Hey Bulldog should be on this list
It was ...
In fact both were.
Good list. should have been extended to include "Fixing a Hole" and 'Run for Your Life".
fixing a hole is a good one. run for your life- predictable and ordinary
Great video and tribute to the Beatles guitar works.
Really well done, backing tracks sound great, solos are spot on. Ten of the best, I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed these solos. Anybody else start singing??
I always felt Clapton was a much better guitarist than Harrison, but George seems to have been more inventive and musically curious.
