George Harrison talks about his Fender Stratocaster

He wrote "Taxman" when he was 23 "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" "All Things Must Pass" and "I Me Mine" aged 25 and "Here Comes the Sun" aged 26. He organised The Concert for Bangladesh which raised close to US$250,000 in 1971. He helped Monty Python by raising £2 million to finish their film Life of Brian after EMI pulled out in 1979. Harrison is listed at number 11 in Rolling Stone magazine's list of "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" He was a genius. A great human being. And a Beatle!

Never forget my late wife Donna and what she said one day. We were in the car waiting for a red light to change. On the radio was “ My Guitar Gently Weeps”. Donna turned to me and said, “ I love George”. Never forget how sweetly and sincerely she said those words. One of the many reasons why I loved her. Because she understood the gift and power of music. Miss you honey

George Harrison talks about legendary events as casually as I would discuss ordering a taco back in the summer of '04. 

Music world sure needs a guy like George.

The deepest thinking of the four Beatles. How I wish he was still alive. I remember choking at the news of his passing. I had been listening to him my entire life and felt I knew him personally.

George Harrison is one of the most well known but overlooked guitarists in Rock and Roll. His incredible slide tone was heart and soul inspired, simply sublime.

George has such a nice speaking voice... just kind of relaxes me hearing him chat.

God bless you George. We miss you...

An unbelievable human being. I look up to George so much, as a musician and a person.

GEORGE HARRISON WAS ONE OF A KIND. HE IS THE REASON MILLIONS OF PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD WANTED TO LEARN GUITAR. HIS TONES WERE CRYSTALLINE AND HE EMBELLISHED EVERY SONG WITH HIS PLAYING JUST AS RINGO EMBELLISHED EVERY SONG WITH HIS DRUMMING. HE SINGLE- HANDEDLY INVENTED THE BENEFIT CONCERT AND WAS BY FAR THE MOST GENEROUS BEATLE WITH THE LARGEST HEART.MAGNIFICENT SENSE OF HUMOR.THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER LIKE HIM AND HE IS UNIVERSALLY LOVED AND MISSED. GOD BLESS HIS SOUL IN HEAVEN.❤️🙏

I got to interview George before a concert In NYC once for 5 minutes. He did all the talking and asked me to tell everyone to please give to the Bangladesh effort. I was so nervous I couldn't speak back and he started giggling asking me if I was OK. I managed a "Yeah" before another reporter took over. Wasn't my sharpest moment but he was my hero.

How can you not love the genuineness of this man?

He hated the sound of a Gretsch through a Vox amp but I love that sound. It's so Beatles

He is so humble and kind.

a lot of guitarist sound like other guitarists but George had his own wholly unique sound.. can't be pigeon-holed....many thanx George and rock on.

One of my favorite guitars and my slide hero. His spirituality guides me on how to be a better man and soul. rip George..my favorite Beatle.

George blazed the trail for lead guitar players. His solo on "I Saw Her Standing There" still puts a big smile on me face.

2:15 Pattie Boyd eyeshadow over here and the nailpolish actually 😍😢

A good friend of mine was his personal body guard. He told me that it was put on him to take care of George's guitars. He told me that he had George's Gretsch from the early days that the whole world has seen him play and another one of George's famous guitars in his possession when checking in on a flight. They were insistint that the guitars were put in baggage. My friend told them that it just wasn't going to happen. That he needed to have both with him at all times and they needed to go into the plane with him. He told me that they went back and forth over this for a little while when my friend told the person in charge with the airline excuse me and voices were lowered and shoulders turned and he asked, " do you know who's guitars these belong to?" It was explained and immediatley after having to tell them what he tried hard to avoid telling that not another word was said and that he was allowed to board with both guitars. It's amazing how far around the world the fab four were admired and had fans. Respect. The only reason the bickering ceased. I don't tell the story quite as well as my friend but it's the love of the Beatles by everyone was the point I tried to convey.

Loved George......How could you not !
