An instructional video of the Beatles "My Guitar Gently Weeps".
At almost 25 minutes, this admittedly got a little longer than I had hoped, but the timeline should help you "cut to the chase" to allow you to see the parts that matter to you, without having to watch the whole thing-- that is of course unless you want to.

Excellent breakdown, instruction and ... choice of song. Incredible to think of how Mr Harrison must have come up with it.

Thank you for your kind words and support.
My only regret is that I couldn’t say the same things in fewer minutes, but I tend to take time to explain myself, when there’s many layers of something.
Thank you for watching.

Just going from ear memory (I should listen to the original and confirm) that second chord should hold the C and E from the first chord and just drop the A to a G. (so notes G C E in the 2nd chord)

[@B3burner]

Wow, ok. I’ll have to check it out. Thank you for the heads up.

wThis song was not released in Nov, 1968. ' While My Guitar Gently Weeps' was released in 1966 or 1968. I know that for a fact!

[@B3burner]

Ok that is probably true- I was just going by Wikipedia. 1966 seems a bit early, but you did say 1968, so that year is plausible. Thanks for watching.

Poor

[@B3burner]

Ok, I’ll take the bait for the sake of *CONSTRUCTIVE* criticism:
How would you have done it differently?
Thanks for watching.

SImple, it's a GUITAR SONG, not another scary AF organ song. Geniuses (like Hammond and Leslie) come up with the most frightening and stupid sound shit. Thank God I went against my father's wishes AND DID NOT GET AN ELECTRONICS DEGREE!!! The real world isn't some B-rated, stupid horror movie. See for yourself.
