That's all George Harrison's work on the guitar. I especially like his slide-guitar solos. His style is unique, and you know that's George Harrison when you hear it.

Actually it was Delaney Bramlett that George asked about playing slide, and Delaney showed George what he was doing. Delaney said George picked it up from the get go. Clapton and Harrison were both touring with Delaney and Bonnie at the time. Previously, Duane Allman had also played with Delaney and Bonnie. George's slide tone always seemed greatly informed by his study of the sitar. To me he blended the electric slide with the timbre of the sitar. I've never thought of his slide tone as "thin." For the sources on George learning slide from Delaney see page 51 of the Feb 2020 Guitar Player cover story on George by chief editor Chris Scapelliti, which also cites Simon Leng's bio of George, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, where Delaney related how quickly George took to the slide. So it wasn't Clapton who showed George the slide, it was Delaney Bramlett. Scapelliti also has an excellent cover story on Clapton in the July 2020 issue of Guitar Player that goes over Eric's post Cream/Blind Faith period when he cut Derek and the Dominoes and then worked on a Delaney and Bonnie album, also touring with them. George asked to join that tour and there are KZread videos from that tour.

Harri, George wasn't the only beautiful man. Your humanity and decency comes through every video you make. Great review as always and thank you.

They certainly had more depth than most of Paul's songs. Unfortunately John's solo career was short-lived. His Walls and Bridges, Imagine and the John Lennon - Plastic Ono Band albums are fabulous albums. Mind Games has it's highlights but is inconsistent. Some Time In New York City was a disappointment though.

I love his song Isn’t It A Pity … puts me in that meditative, tranquil state of mind from a loud, busy day.

I think George was the underrated Beatle. His songs that he wrote with the group are some of my favorites ("Taxman", "Within You Without You", "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", "Here Comes the Sun" & "Something"). He was a great songwriter & had many hits when he went solo. Also love when he was part of the supergroup "The Traveling Wilburys" with Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan & Tom Petty. Very talented man who left us too soon. At least we have the legacy of his music.

George was, without a doubt, the spiritual Beatle. We miss him. Thank you, Sir Harri.

A voice like no other. A man like no other. His music was always from his heart. Miss him so much. R.I.P. George. That guitar was played by George. What a sweet spirit!

Gorgeous George. I adore most of his solo stuff. Sorely missed Georgie. Tomorrow is the 41st anniversary of John's murder. I struggle to this day with their too early passing.

Fabulous song by George. Was a #1 record for him in 1973,♥️🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦

The entire “All Things Must Pass” album is wonderful with such a beautiful spirit. George was a lovely spirit and a decent humble human being. Great choice by Stephen. Nice reaction Harri🌺✌️

Anyone wanting to know more about George and who he was should read Eric Idle's biography. He was great friends with George, and George was a huge supporter of Monty Python. He actually helped fund "Life of Brian". George was very focused on the Divine. I think for him asking to be "free from birth" would mean an eternal communion with the Divine which seems to have been all he'd ever wanted. Surely everyone who knew him and loved him will miss him forever. But George? George is right where he wants to be.

George was a film producer. His company, Handmade Films, was one of the most notable independent film houses in the 70's and 80's. Also, George was a Hindu and believed that through enlightenment he could free himself from the cycle of birth/death/rebirth. He was a true seeker.

George Harrison was SO GREAT. I grew up with The Beatles. And after they broke up, he put out the album “All Things Must Pass”. A masterpiece. He has the most unique and gentle voice.

♥️ I have grown to appreciate Harrison’s solo work and contribution to the Beatles more and more each year.

It’s start’s with Give Me Hope, yes great lyrics!

If you watch interviews with George Harrison, you'll find he's very down to earth and extremely humble.

He played all the guitars including double tracking the slides . He's singing to Krishna (God) like a prayer, begging him to give him love and peace and to keep him from being born ever again ("keep me free from birth") ,

George was, I think, the most complex personality of the four. He was the spiritual one-who was also into fast cars, and specifically Formula 1 racing. The one who embraced peace-who once punched someone in a hospital where his mother was because they weren't taking proper care of her. And he could write biting sarcasm in songs like Lennon, but with a more deft touch.

This made me bawl my eyes out😭 The world is so crazy now and miss George so much. Only 58 when he passed away

Isn’t it amazing?! Who knew KZread could open our eyes and ears to the history of music. I still find such happiness watching younger people discover the wealth of amazing music created and performed in almost 70 years of my lifetime. Thanks for sharing.

I will be eternally grateful for George gifting us The Life Of Brian. Whenever I am down that’s my cure

My favourite George Harrison song. I’m no musician by any means, but I like the complex time changes in the song.

I met George Harrison at the British Grand Prix back in the late 80's, I asked him if he would sign my programme, he was very gracious and very chatty. We discussed the forthcoming race and who we thought would win, still have that program......... somewhere 😂😂🇬🇧

George Harrison was a very spiritual person even when he got cancer and was dying he never lost his faith he was probably the most underrated Beatle as a musician and just a great human being

Good day Harry I can tell you with confidence that Eric Clapton assisted somewhat with this song, but as the previous person stated it’s all pure Harrison. Listening to all things must Pass taught me. I was on the wrong road when I was young. Like you said, we’re just lucky to be here. Love your show man.

Another good George Harrison song is "What Is Life"

George is my greatest influence outside my parents.

George was my favorite Beatle and the most spiritual member of them/\.

My favorite George Harrison song poet Beatles love the channel

Just look at what was going on in the world when this song was released. Music is powerful.

For me, George has always been my favorite and most talented of the four. Ik Paul's success is in the stratosphere and I love his stuff too, especially the early stuff with Wings, but George's voice and guitar playing are just Heavenly. He makes me feel like none other and that's why he will always be #1 in my book. Great reaction. Please keep em coming, Harri. God bless ✌🏼🇺🇸🇬🇧

it sounds like a chant a little to me. Agree that is how I have always described George as, a beautiful soul

i always thought the funny thing about george in the later years listed his occupation as gardner.....he loved his FRIAR PARK estate

George harrison thats my idol

The way it repeats is like a mantra. And he seems like he knows he doesn’t have any answers at all but just hopes for things to get better

This song is actually a great prayer for any religion, if you pick and choose from the lyrics.

Very insightful commentary. Just for a little more info, George had already had cancer and was doing well when he was attacked in his home. His wife, Olivia, and his son, Dhani both believe the knife attack was too much for George in his already weakened state and that’s what ultimately caused the cancer to come back and kill him. Overall, though, he had a beautiful outlook on life and many, many friends and family who loved him. He seems to have been more at peace with his impending death than most people are.

I love you George 🙏 and I love your song 🎵

Loved when you highlighted how beautiful George looks in one photo that happens to be one of my favorites too, that one appears on the cover of 'Let It Be' where all 4 look gorgeous, but yes George's smile is the best, he was also a very nice, spiritual and altruistic person.

Such a beautiful song 🖤 That’s George on Slide Guitar. He was the first ex-Beatle to get a solo #1 record. After watching Get Back, I’m so so happy that he was first 🖤

What a beautiful soul, Much love for George

I can't listen to "All Things Must Pass" album without tearing up.

A profound prayer. Thank you, George.

I love this song xIt says exactly what I feel x x x

Thanks Harri This material world album track was out in 1973 when I went out and bought the single 1973 was a great year for Beatles solo and compilation albums. I was in my element.

Harri, you are just so bright and beautiful. Your comment about Karma is an interesting one. Of course George Harrison did not "deserve" cancer, however, that is the natural consequence for a lifetime smoker. It's a trade-off. We are looking from the outside in making the ultimate "Karmic decision" about someone we don't know based on our own truth and experiences as a human being. Whatever he and his family went through during that time brought lessons that could not be learned in any other way. Translating that to our own lives we always need to ask ourselves though the good and the bad "what lessons should I be learning to move my life and others lives around me forward". George needed to go through that to move his son's life Dhani perpetually forward in positive ways for others, in ways unknown to outsiders. Karma is only for us to use to learn life lessons to better ourselves. We cannot judge Karma by how it looks to us on the outside because we dont know the ultimate lesson and outcome on the other side of a seemingly negative event. Thank you for bringing up something that gives my mind fuel and energy for deep thinking. Music is what brings us ultimately together. You are awesome. Love your channel, thanks for sharing with the world.

Nice good comments

George was on the guitars on this and many of his songs. On some albums he had help from Eric Clapton especially, and others as he guested on many other recordings of songs some of which were hits or well regarded. He was a musician’s musician.

Give Me Love went to #1 in the USA. Summer of 1973. From the Living in th Material World album. Check other cuts from the album, including Living in the Material World and Sue Me Sue You Blues.

A song of Peace and Love. Right up, George's lane. He seemed to be very careful with the lyrics that he wrote. He wanted them to have meaning and not just a song to write a song. Obviously, he was like us all imperfect and all, but he always seemed to not accept the status quo. I saw the new "Get Back" series three times now. It was soooo nice to revisit those days. 80% of it is positive. Thanks for posting Harri, a great song choice again.

George on guitars, Klaus Voormann (a worthy substitute for McCartney) on bass, Jim Keltner on drums, Nicky Hopkins on piano, Gary Wright on organ. "Blow Away" is a great George song from 1979.

Hello deat Harry. Beautiful songs from Beautiful George...I love this triple album...and he was only 27...check radio documentary " All things must pass 50th anywersary" especially the band...Clapton ,Bobby Whitlock, Allan White, Ringo, Dylan...best wishes and thanks xxx R

I love this song! George was very talented. Hard to compete to the Lennon/McCartney machine.

There were glimpses of his genius during the Beatles years, but we didn’t get to really see it until the band broke up. 😢

A lovely song! Another one of my George Harrison favorites is his live version of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" from side 3 of The Concert for Bangladesh (released 1971-72).

Oh, Lord I need this during these difficult times. Thank you.

Great song.

I like some of his less noticed songs, as well. Like Savoy Truffle and It's only a Northern Song. Also I Need You and Blue Jay Way. As for karma, I don't really believe, either. Uless we're finally compensated after we cross over.

Great points in everything you said Harri

I actually had commented on this song before on someones reaction channel and said that I felt like it was a prayer for himself and possibly for all of us. I looked it up, and found out, that he did indeed intend for this song be just that. I wish you would do "Dark Horse" next.

I love this song. We jam with it weekly.

"Blow Away" is my favorite from George Harrison.
