Not all of these are played by Geoorge Also, I’d rather argue all of them were the special ingredient Also, you won’t play a great solo if the song isn’t great, and most of these weren’t written by George
@@LBT-sy4dp It has been said that George struggled with some solo’s but I think it was probably down to Paul wanting a particular solo for some of his songs played in a very particular way. If it was left for George to do it in his own style he wouldn’t have had a problem.
@@TheVoom99 There is a difference between trying to compose a guitar solo during a recording session and not being able to play it. George was trying to compose a solo and George Martin was losing patience. Paul, who was writing 24/7, happened to run some guitar solos though his head and offered the solo we all love to love.

😂 you did a great job I like the way you did number 47 where George put a guitar solo for the first time, record it backwards and then you put yourself backwards also on the video-😎🎶👏🏼👏🏼
Melodies win over "shredding" any day of the year. George was brilliant, learning in no small part from Hank Marvin of The Shadows, who came before him.
This is why I still credit George Harrison as the first guitarist that really made me want to pick up the instrument and is still one of my biggest influences, everything he played was absolutely perfect for the song. He definitely was all about serving the music and I absolutely love it, truly a great player from a young age and definitely one of the greats
Well done. After watching this in its entirety I'm struck by a couple of things. One is that George was so proficient in so many styles right from their early days. Be it Rhythm and Blues, Country, Rockabilly, or even Classical guitar, he tried his hand at it all and did a fantastic job. It shows how much he must've practiced as a teenager. The other thing is that the only slide used on here is by John in For You Blue. I find this interesting because George really made slide his thing only after The Beatles broke up. It's like he was rejecting his past. Great video.
There's one more use of slide that I only realized was slide after finishing the video, which is on the Drive My Car solo. But funnily enough, both cases of slide in the Beatles' catalog aren't George - Paul plays the Drive My Car solo, and John plays For You Blue. Good observation about George!
Actually the solo to Drive My Car was a bit off. It has a 16th note pickup before the solo,and the three turns have one that lands on a different note, and the last bar is a slide guitar all on high E string . I won’t belabor the notes ,but I have to say this . Paul played that solo ,and the Taxman solo , two of the best solos in the Beatles canon …
Wow you blew my mind out! You've really studied the Beatles' Discography. You are more than a fan. You are carrying all of this in your heart. The Beatle's complete songs were 211 songs, including their covers, and here you did 75 solos. You really rock!
Geroge Harrison later came out with songs like let it be abbey road and a couple more a talented musician 😀 next to Paul McCartney even after the beetles solo he was good
Really incredible. Awesome job with this. Loved every one. I'm partial to a Hard Day's Night, just love how that one sounds and you perfectly captured it! You Can't Do That is awesome too, underrated song. AND Nowhere Man, my god, if you told me that was ripped from the original I would have believed you, wow. Jesus, AND Taxman, WOW. That was super sick.
Thank you! Some good choices - You Can't Do That is one of my favorite Beatles songs, and Taxman might be my favorite solo out of all of them. Re-Nowhere Man, that one sounds particularly accurate because the guitar I'm playing (Classic Player 60's Strat) is a reissue of the exact model of guitar John and George played the solo on. Here's a pic of John with it (identical down to the color!) www.beatlesebooks.com/files/1619622/uploaded/lennon%20strat%20color.jpg
Quite possibly the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life (I've loved them all)! On top of everything else that makes the Beatles so wonderful is that their guitar solos are so unique, interesting, melodic and beautiful as opposed to just showing off. This is truly epic. Great job! Where is "It's All Too Much" though? Love that song and the guitar work is wild!
Been a Beatles fan for 60 years and never gets old. I play a lot of their songs on guitar but this is a great compilation and thanks for taking the time. Oh, and the "reverse" guitar on I'm Only Sleeping and Tomorrow Never Knows was funny! Nice touch. 😅
Okay, you just wait until I do every drum solo of Ringo's (maybe even a few of Pete's too). I like how you flipped the guitar around for the backwards solo on "I'm Only Sleeping".
The guitar work on Revolver is unbelievable good. Not only those solos, but riffs and licks on songs like she said she said and got to get you into my life Edit: Abbey Road still beats it
Well ... EPIC! Just .... EPIC! Hearing them all together like this really highlights how good The Beatles were. Great job! Thanks for making me feel even MORE inferior on the guitar than I did thirty four minutes and three seconds ago! 😆
This was an impressive project, wow. We’ll done. Beatles’ guitar work is so musical. Shredders, virtuosos and improvers are good. But what the Beatles did with guitar solos is so musical and unique. They were organic parts of the song. The solo in I Want You is one of my favorite guitar solos of all time. Thanks for doing this!
1-The End (John,Paul,George) 2-Hey Bulldog (George Harrison) 3-Polythene Pam (George Harrison) 4-Something (George Harrison) 5-You Can’t Do That (John Lennon) 6-And Your Bird Can Sing (George Harrison) 7-Taxman (Paul McCartney) 8-While My Guitar Gently Weeps (Eric Clapton) 9-Let It Be (George Harrison) 10-I Want You (John Lennon)
I always wanted someone to do this exact thing!!! It totally lives up to expectations! I know these are mostly George solos but what phenomenal guitar players they were!
Good job. I had to play all of the lead guitar parts in several Beatles Tribute bands and also British Invasion type groups over the years. The trick is not overplaying, which they generally didn't do, even when John or Paul was playing the lead guitar riffs. I noticed you played in a few different registers, and of course nothing wrong with that. I tried to pretty much play the lead guitar parts in the exact register. Why, I don't know..........just me. You do a good job capturing the riffs, especially Im Only Sleeping, which is a difficult piece to replicate the sound. I always liked Taxman and enjoyed playing it. I remember an interview one time with George Harrison, I forget now who was interviewing him, and he asked him where he came up with the riff and was it difficult. He looked a little put out and then replied, "Well it was Paul........it's his riff." I always thought that was a little bit funny and I am sure the interviewer was embarrassed a little by it.
I find it interesting that the title on the Video mentions which British album the solo comes from but in the background it show the U.S counterpart album cover that it comes from.
Well and wow. Jeez what a job!!! Very impressed with your talent sir. As a true Beatles fan, I praise you not only for your playing but working on the sound for each of them....AND...playing the backgrounds a long with your drummer friends. Absolutely fantastic. If I have one criticism, it's that on the 5th bar of 'all my lovin', during the Ebmaj11/C, there's an A# which really shouldn't be there....but hey, we can't all be perfect!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm stunned by the time and talent it must have taken to reconstruct, practice, and record all of these PLUS putting together the backing tracks. Hearing them all together in order brings so many things to light. Obviously the brilliance of George Harrison. Even before he blossoms as a songwriter, he's creating all these memorable melodic runs within his solos. But I'm also struck by what's absent; so many songs in the Beatles catalogue don't have guitar solos! Especially several of the early singles and B-sides. And you can tell this is a departure from the artists that influenced the Beatles, because a ton of the songs they cover have very prominent guitar solos.
Yeah, I did a quick count. Leaving out "Maggie Mae," which I view as a bit of goofing around, there are 24 cover songs in the official Beatles catalogue. Of those, 14 have guitar solos, so around 60%. Compare that with their 194 original songs, of which only 32% feature guitar solos.
Wonderful work! Thank you very much! I've been listening to the Beatles Music for about 45 years and I play it too, and anyway, in this video, I have discovered a lot of things that I had not noticed before.
Such a pity you miss on acknowledging Being For The Benefit Of Mister Kite!’s little acoustic solo, otherwise this would be perfectly complete. Oh, and Free As A Bird and Real Love as well
Funnily enough, I don't actually have a guitar with enough frets to play Mr. Kite accurately, haha. I'll find a way in a future follow-up video, though.
The best by far is Happiness is a Warm Gun. It's not only the Beatles best solo, it's one of the greatest solos ever. You could use a little work perfecting it though. Decent, but not quite all there.
Dit is zeer verhelderend. De directe bescheiden input van George die zo ongelooflijk bepalend was. Het zijn die solo’s waar we in iedere song op zaten te wachten, die vastgekleefd zijn in onze ziel en hersenen. Neem ze weg en net als bij Ringo’s drum worden heel wat songs meer naar het gemiddelde getrokken. Dit bewijst hoe brilliant ze alle 4 waren.
The White Album and Abbey Road are definitely my 2 favorite albums of theirs. The guitars are so heavy. Songs like Yer Blues and I Want You are my favorite Beatles songs.
well I thought a lot of the leads shown here were fairly accurate... some were excellent.. and others were so so... Not exactly how I would have fingered the frets. .having played a lot of those leads over the years in bands I was in.. I especially liked your recording of tomorrow never knows and only sleeping.. where you achieved the backward effect... we could not play songs like that on stage without the proper equipment and for what we made gigging... it would not have been worth it..
Well done! You must have spent a lot of time listening to the Beatles records, doing some research, and then practicing these solos to get them down so accurately. Contrary to popular opinion, many of these solos were quite challenging. Great job!
Ha, yeah... I limited myself to one solo per song to keep it reasonable (there's a handful of songs with two guitar solos, like Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby for instance), and the single version is just the one I usually prefer. Whenever I play Let It Be live, though, I always do a bit of a blend of both solos, just so everyone hears a little of their preferred version, haha. Maybe someday I'll do a "missing solos" video with this and the handful of other arguably missing ones, just for completion's sake!
This is cool! Drive my Car is the first one I’ve come to that I’m not on board with. The bends should be more free, and then there’s some slide toward the end. But kudos it’s a cool video and better than I could do for sure.
If I were watching this video as someone who didn't make it, I would've checked out at "The Night Before" tbh. I don't swing those licks like in the original recording, and it has haunted me ever since I realized it
@@Jalopes haha! It’s an entertaining ride. You got skills. Enjoyed it. But something like this invites people to look for the ‘fault’. So sorry about that.
Man. I don't know what I want to pinpont to say. "This is the second best thing that happened to the guitar after the Beatles." is what the teacher in me says. The guitarist in me thanks you on behalf of whoever will make this video one day a *must*. in classrooms. Not just music classrooms.
Excellent job! I loved it very much! just one thing, the guitar solo of Honey Pie is actually longer in the mono version, and I kinda wish you had done that one instead of the stereo one. Anyways, very minor nitpick, amazing job!
素晴らしい、すべてが完璧ですが、特にエリッククラプトンが弾いたWile My Guitar Gentry Weeps、ポールマッカートニーが弾いたTaxman、そしてPaulが素晴らしいと褒めたたえたジョージの曲somethingは弾くのがプロでも難しいと思う。 Amazing, everything is perfect, especially Eric Clapton's Wile My Guitar Gentry Weeps, Paul McCartney's Taxman, and George's song something that Paul praised as excellent
Great work! I would have loved to see the Drive my Car sólo with the slide bits, but it’s such a small detail compared to the full scale of this project. Congratulations!
This was a joy to listen to and you played nearly all of them perfectly to my memory. I think the main difference being not using the same guitar as they did. So many of these are iconic and some of the best solos in rock history.
Bravo! What a stupendous achievement. Also a master class is letting a song breathe and not letting the ego getting in the way of the melody and feel of the song: that is a legacy of The Beatles. One comment: famous guitar riffs like 'I feel fine' and 'Paperback Writer' are not included I assume because they are riffs rather than solos, yes?
George was their special ingredient. Never over powering, just the right blend, and so tasteful .
Not all of these are played by Geoorge
Also, I’d rather argue all of them were the special ingredient
Also, you won’t play a great solo if the song isn’t great, and most of these weren’t written by George
Also george struggle a lot with the solos during the recordings..., but a great guitarist and musician
Beautifully put👌

@@stevescontriano860 yes, someone correctly replicating a guitar part is doing it because they are a narcissist.
Also, he had to "double track " in order to achieve the harmony double lead solo for "And Your Bird Can Sing".
@@spindriftdrinker same with “the night before” and “birthday” (actually i’m pretty sure he just used a bass for the low guitar in birthday)
George definitely improved a ton. Early solos are good, but the solo on Something will always be one of my favorites.
Wasn't that Clapton on Something?
@@jerryschulman1640 Clapton did the solo on While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Paul played some of the solos, such as on Taxman. @amvs6700 has all of the performers listed.
@@tubular618 Paul's are some of the best!
George was the Ringo of Lead Guitars. He created solos as needed in the song. And that's why he's one of the GOAT!

9-Let It Be (George Harrison)
10-I Want You (John Lennon)
And Your Bird Can Sing are both Paul and George with the solo
Why does this not have more views?? This is such high quality
I always wanted someone to do this exact thing!!! It totally lives up to expectations! I know these are mostly George solos but what phenomenal guitar players they were!
Travail incroyable...
George était incroyable d'inventivité...
Just a phenomenal job here. Thank you. Also would love to hear the background bands full songs too. They sound great. Are you a tribute band?
Good work! :=) Beatles music will allways be in my heart!
Wow! This is fantastic! I can't imagine how hard this was to put together, let alone, learning all the leads!
Great feat of musicianship and dedication. Thank you
Excellent video, but should have done the split screen for I Feel Fine also. Playing both the Lennon and George parts
This really makes me feel like I'm one of the Beatles!
Good job. I had to play all of the lead guitar parts in several Beatles Tribute bands and also British Invasion type groups over the years. The trick is not overplaying, which they generally didn't do, even when John or Paul was playing the lead guitar riffs. I noticed you played in a few different registers, and of course nothing wrong with that. I tried to pretty much play the lead guitar parts in the exact register. Why, I don't know..........just me. You do a good job capturing the riffs, especially Im Only Sleeping, which is a difficult piece to replicate the sound. I always liked Taxman and enjoyed playing it. I remember an interview one time with George Harrison, I forget now who was interviewing him, and he asked him where he came up with the riff and was it difficult. He looked a little put out and then replied, "Well it was Paul........it's his riff." I always thought that was a little bit funny and I am sure the interviewer was embarrassed a little by it.
Just amazing. I vote Hey Bulldog best Beatles solo (after Something ). Thanks for doing this!
What a job man! excellent! cheers from Argentina.
I find it interesting that the title on the Video mentions which British album the solo comes from but in the background it show the U.S counterpart album cover that it comes from.
This is amazing work! Such a daunting project. Congratulations and thank you.😎🎸✌️
Well and wow. Jeez what a job!!! Very impressed with your talent sir. As a true Beatles fan, I praise you not only for your playing but working on the sound for each of them....AND...playing the backgrounds a long with your drummer friends. Absolutely fantastic. If I have one criticism, it's that on the 5th bar of 'all my lovin', during the Ebmaj11/C, there's an A# which really shouldn't be there....but hey, we can't all be perfect!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I thoroughly enjoyed this, amazing.
Excellent work, my man. You even captured the small nuances.
I'm stunned by the time and talent it must have taken to reconstruct, practice, and record all of these PLUS putting together the backing tracks. Hearing them all together in order brings so many things to light. Obviously the brilliance of George Harrison. Even before he blossoms as a songwriter, he's creating all these memorable melodic runs within his solos. But I'm also struck by what's absent; so many songs in the Beatles catalogue don't have guitar solos! Especially several of the early singles and B-sides. And you can tell this is a departure from the artists that influenced the Beatles, because a ton of the songs they cover have very prominent guitar solos.
Yeah, I did a quick count. Leaving out "Maggie Mae," which I view as a bit of goofing around, there are 24 cover songs in the official Beatles catalogue. Of those, 14 have guitar solos, so around 60%. Compare that with their 194 original songs, of which only 32% feature guitar solos.
This was a phenomenal amount of effort. Well done!
i have no idea why this doesn't have millions of views / it's that good / i'm blown away
Excellent job! I certainly remember all of these tunes when they first came out. George added a lot of "flavor" to the Lennon/McCartney songs.
Very well done. Of course, you hear things differently than I do so there are many places where we don't agree but that's to be expected.
Genius Harrison. It's his real name.
Todo lo que sea de The Beatles es mi pleno gusto. Mi felicitación por grandioso multi toque. Desde Nicaragua, Centroamérica mil abrazos.
Thanks from Sweden 🇸🇪👌🏽🐸🇸🇪👌🏽🐸🇸🇪👌🏽🐸
Hey Bulldog looks like a John solo, after watching you play it. Good job 👍
George's solos are always melodies...as opposed to "look how fast I can play random notes".... very tasty
Very well done! Makes me appreciate what George could cook up in an hour or less...
Wonderful work! Thank you very much! I've been listening to the Beatles Music for about 45 years and I play it too, and anyway, in this video, I have discovered a lot of things that I had not noticed before.
Great! George are living👍
Excellent job. George was amazing and now I’m sure that I loved The Beatles because of him. Ooops…you forgot I Me Mine.
A Hard Day's Night remains the best
I know this is prob an unpopular opinion here but, I’ve always though of George as over rated. His sound was very thin.
Such a pity you miss on acknowledging Being For The Benefit Of Mister Kite!’s little acoustic solo, otherwise this would be perfectly complete. Oh, and Free As A Bird and Real Love as well
Funnily enough, I don't actually have a guitar with enough frets to play Mr. Kite accurately, haha. I'll find a way in a future follow-up video, though.
The best by far is Happiness is a Warm Gun. It's not only the Beatles best solo, it's one of the greatest solos ever. You could use a little work perfecting it though. Decent, but not quite all there.
Dit is zeer verhelderend. De directe bescheiden input van George die zo ongelooflijk bepalend was. Het zijn die solo’s waar we in iedere song op zaten te wachten, die vastgekleefd zijn in onze ziel en hersenen. Neem ze weg en net als bij Ringo’s drum worden heel wat songs meer naar het gemiddelde getrokken. Dit bewijst hoe brilliant ze alle 4 waren.
The White Album and Abbey Road are definitely my 2 favorite albums of theirs. The guitars are so heavy. Songs like Yer Blues and I Want You are my favorite Beatles songs.
Chronologically Let It Be was first and Abbey Road was the last album they worked on. Nonetheless fantastic work!
I forgot that the Don’t Bother Me solo is actually pretty good.
"Any comment is good"
well I thought a lot of the leads shown here were fairly accurate... some were excellent.. and others were so so... Not exactly how I would have fingered the frets. .having played a lot of those leads over the years in bands I was in.. I especially liked your recording of tomorrow never knows and only sleeping.. where you achieved the backward effect... we could not play songs like that on stage without the proper equipment and for what we made gigging... it would not have been worth it..
George was every bit that.... When he played the solo. Sometimes it was Paul, rarely it was John.
Wow what yes
Ok, now add Free As A Bird/Real Love/Now And Then (when it comes out next week)
Great job. Nice tones, playing, inflections.
Well done! You must have spent a lot of time listening to the Beatles records, doing some research, and then practicing these solos to get them down so accurately. Contrary to popular opinion, many of these solos were quite challenging. Great job!
Digging it! 👍my friend...YOU ARE A BEATLES FAN! 😎
No album Let it Be solo? That's my favorite version. :(
Ha, yeah... I limited myself to one solo per song to keep it reasonable (there's a handful of songs with two guitar solos, like Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby for instance), and the single version is just the one I usually prefer. Whenever I play Let It Be live, though, I always do a bit of a blend of both solos, just so everyone hears a little of their preferred version, haha.
Maybe someday I'll do a "missing solos" video with this and the handful of other arguably missing ones, just for completion's sake!
This is cool! Drive my Car is the first one I’ve come to that I’m not on board with. The bends should be more free, and then there’s some slide toward the end. But kudos it’s a cool video and better than I could do for sure.
If I were watching this video as someone who didn't make it, I would've checked out at "The Night Before" tbh. I don't swing those licks like in the original recording, and it has haunted me ever since I realized it
@@Jalopes haha! It’s an entertaining ride. You got skills. Enjoyed it. But something like this invites people to look for the ‘fault’. So sorry about that.
Hard Day's Night is played an octave higher. The lower octave is played on piano.
Man. I don't know what I want to pinpont to say. "This is the second best thing that happened to the guitar after the Beatles." is what the teacher in me says. The guitarist in me thanks you on behalf of whoever will make this video one day a *must*. in classrooms. Not just music classrooms.
Fantastic run through the years 🙂🎶🎵🎸
Jesus, they are so creative and artistic, and every single one is such a hard work to play : D genius. Completely genius.
Excellent job! I loved it very much!
just one thing, the guitar solo of Honey Pie is actually longer in the mono version, and I kinda wish you had done that one instead of the stereo one. Anyways, very minor nitpick, amazing job!
You forgot the album version of let it be and only did the single!
Wow thanks for doing this
18:30 - I’m Only Sleeping / 19:11 - Tomorrow Never Knows
Nice!!! hahaha
素晴らしい、すべてが完璧ですが、特にエリッククラプトンが弾いたWile My Guitar Gentry Weeps、ポールマッカートニーが弾いたTaxman、そしてPaulが素晴らしいと褒めたたえたジョージの曲somethingは弾くのがプロでも難しいと思う。
Amazing, everything is perfect, especially Eric Clapton's Wile My Guitar Gentry Weeps, Paul McCartney's Taxman, and George's song something that Paul praised as excellent
Great collection. Of the 3 versions of let it be, the solo on the album version is standout.
The best cover of Beatles' solo. Superb!
Please kindly share tabs on screen...
Thanks much.
Forgot the 1st solo on Long Tall Sally.
Great work! I would have loved to see the Drive my Car sólo with the slide bits, but it’s such a small detail compared to the full scale of this project. Congratulations!
This was a joy to listen to and you played nearly all of them perfectly to my memory. I think the main difference being not using the same guitar as they did.
So many of these are iconic and some of the best solos in rock history.
Bravo! What a stupendous achievement. Also a master class is letting a song breathe and not letting the ego getting in the way of the melody and feel of the song: that is a legacy of The Beatles. One comment: famous guitar riffs like 'I feel fine' and 'Paperback Writer' are not included I assume because they are riffs rather than solos, yes?
I think my criteria was something like "at least 4 measures," so it feels like a guitar solo section rather than a riff or something.
My favourite Beatle guitar solos tend to be played by Paul McCartney, eg Drive My Car, Good Morning and Taxman.
AHORA SI PUEDO DECIR QUE GEORGE ES EL MEJOR GUITARRISTA DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS
