But its not . Sultans of Swing" by Dire Straits from their 1978 debut album, written by front man Mark Knopfler. A live version of the song was done in 1988 for Nelson Mandela’s 70th Birthday Tribute concert in London when Eric Clapton teamed up with the band to play the song, providing rhythm guitar. Fun fact: The lyrics were inspired by a performance of a jazz band playing in the corner of an almost empty pub in Deptford, South London. At the end of their performance, the lead singer announced their name, the Sultans of Swing and Knopfler found the contrast between the group's dowdy appearance and surroundings and their grandiose name amusing and decided to use the name. You check out guitar George, he knows-all the chords Mind, it's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing They said an old guitar is all, he can afford When he gets up under the lights to play his thing

Thus was an era where acts would usually appear on stage mouthing the vocals and miming the instruments. Here suddenly were the Beatles playing their instruments and singing live. Then, while everyone was in the throes of ecstasy and astonishment, came the guitar solo and blew everyone away. Not mindless rock and roll but seriously talented musicians. If you look up the word "underrated " in the dictionary there's a picture of Harrison.

The absolute best of his early leads

So tasteful as sophisticated and perfectly trimmed to the song. What a low key meistro at 19 .. or however young he was here. Brilliant!

What a great touch he had.

HE WAS A SELF TAUGHT GUITARIST WHO PLAYED WITH GOOD TASTE AND WAS A NATURAL FOR FINDING AND PLAYING THOSE 6TH, 7TH, 9TH, 11TH AND 13 CHORDS WHICH EXPANDED THEIR CHORDAL ARRANGEMENTS ON THEIR SONGS. HIS SOLOS WERE SIMPLE BUT EFFECTIVE ADDING TO THE SONGS AND MUSIC. THIS SONG IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF WHAT I MEAN. GREAT GUITARIST FOR HIS TIME AND ERA. HE WAS ONE OF MY INSPIRATIONS ON LEARNING GUITAR. THANK YOU GEORGE....

I think it's great. Actually music, rather than noodling, tapping, whammy bar tricks, over driven noise. I like that stuff sometimes. I've done lots of it myself over 45 years of playing.
