I wouldn't mind if this song went on for another 20 minutes, what a groove! Thanks to all Patrons for your continued support, your chord sheet is available here: bit.ly/40eESsU
I love your videos, informative and inspiring and interesting nuggets of information, I would have no interest in this song but your take on it and enthusiasm for it and discussion of it makes it appealing to me. Though so far all i have learned is that maybe i am open minded, maybe blues is something i would never want to really listen to but really enjoy playing and always happy to learn about. Thanks
Leon was the glue that held many of these collabo bands together back in the early 70s. And to think that Elton found him in the ditch by the side of the road later in his life. I'm so glad he went out on top.
As a guitarist, I preferred Harrison's tossed off, improvised soloing, which shadow the basic I IV V changes (typical of Harrison's country-jazz harmonic sensibilities redolent of his influences, e.g., Chet Atkins, Big Bill Broonzy and the like) whereas Clapton pretty much works his pentatonics around the tonic, as is his wont. And the two guitarists sound great together, somehow managing to back iconic Leon and yet play with him at the same time. This off-the-cuff rehearsal captures iconic musicians at the end of an era, side-stepping the weight (no pun intended, Robbie) and just grooving. Great stuff. GREAT ON-POINT COMMENTARY, Monsieur Guitar Pilgrim
Wow!!! I never thought this footage would be noticed or made a video for. As a beginner i wouldn’t say i did a good job of transcription but I’m glad someone else did!! Thank you
👏👏That was terrific Thom! Great tune and one of the best live versions was done by The Allman Brothers. Hope that you and your family are doing well. 👍👍🎸🎸
You got me groovin' again this Saturday morning. Taking this song along with me for later. BTW, I read about this recording as prep for "Concert For Bangladesh". Thanks Thom.
"The woman i love, lives with my best friend..." Russel didn't have to make this up, there in 1971 he played with the blueprint! A year before, 1970, Clapton had written "Layla" about his love for Pattie Boyd, Harrison's wife at that time.
Thom, Guitar brother (GP) you are fantastic. Every video I’ve watched from you I have always enjoyed. Heck I’d say I love them. You have a great attitude. There are a few YT guitar channels out there that I enjoy and are really good. You rate right near the top. I’d love to hook up with you and grab a drink but then just sit down with you and just talk and play guitar. Cheers! You always make my day. Yours truly, The other Tom (Thomas). Ha.
You don't think double drummers work? Guess you never saw the Allman Brothers perform. You don't know what you missed. Thanks for your tips. i watch every video.
Good video. One question please, what Fender model is that guitar? I want to buy one of the same and follow your videos, since I am subscribed to the channel
the famous "dope-sick" gig for clapton.... first time he had to travel overseas as a full blown H addict, and was not prepared for the withdrawals. had to cop methadone off one of the camera guys just to play the gig.
thats a great tone on your strat - what its going through ? This is not just a random question as I am plugging in my own american standard after several years on acoustic and failing badly do get anything decent . Thanks also for bring this video to us. A groove that will butter your toast.

RIP, George and Leon.
I definitely DIG those funky 'threads' that Eric Clapton had on.
Leon was the glue that held many of these collabo bands together back in the early 70s.
And to think that Elton found him in the ditch by the side of the road later in his life.
I'm so glad he went out on top.
Those opening lyrics are oddly specific for Eric and George Haha
haha, lmao
I gotta be honest, I love the ladies but how can you not love this guy? He’s adorable.😆
You're truly a master at dissecting these 'best of the best' guitar players, Thom. You're in a league of your own! 👍👍
Great Leon impersonation!
Always love to see some George Harrison Content, thank you!
Leon was the best at giving that 'loose' feel,both in his playing and singing. Nobody like him. Great songwriter as well.
The greatness on that stage… 😮
I recall I saw the movie when I was in High School. Long time ago.

Wow mate,what a beautiful explanation of this gem. I knew this version and can't understand why it was cutted off. A lot of compliments to you 👏👏👏👏👍
Wow!!! I never thought this footage would be noticed or made a video for. As a beginner i wouldn’t say i did a good job of transcription but I’m glad someone else did!! Thank you
👏👏That was terrific Thom! Great tune and one of the best live versions was done by The Allman Brothers. Hope that you and your family are doing well. 👍👍🎸🎸
awesome interpretation and playing👍🎸
I think I might like the practices more than the actual performances in most cases. So loose and natural and grooving.
My favourite you tube music teacher
George is an unexpected musician！
Apparently Leon was vamping on one of my favorite enigmatic Dylan lines: "Somebody got lucky, but it was an accident."
One of the better guitar videos I’ve seen in a while! Nice
great video Thom! Never thought I'd see a breakdown of one of my fave performances 😁
You’re the best !
Thom....visually this room looks perfect as your studio!! Great choice as your background, especially the Arched Doors 🤔😉
I've watched a few of your videos, you've got the groove, man. Keep it happening :)
You got me groovin' again this Saturday morning. Taking this song along with me for later. BTW, I read about this recording as prep for "Concert For Bangladesh". Thanks Thom.
You can really tell that this robert johnson-esque groove has been such a part of ECs playing since the early 60s onwards...
Listen to 'From the Cradle' 👍🏼
@Billyclub the cornerstone of my guitar playing😅 love that album. Even Joe satriani played it all way through when practising
Love your turn arounds I have to learn them :)
"The woman i love, lives with my best friend..." Russel didn't have to make this up, there in 1971 he played with the blueprint!

loving it!!
Thanks, very nice
Great song to choose for a video. Allman brothers band covered this one too on "Shades of Two Worlds".
Ringo Starr and Jim Keltner on drums! Great!
Love the vid! You’re a great TH-camr, keep doing what you’re doing brother
Great video
id love this version as a backing track!

I've never seen that footage before. Is it from the DVD or Blu-ray of Concert for Bangladesh?
Yes it is.
Yesssss there are more and better, research
It was the rehearsal or sound check before the actual concerts.
Thanks so much pilgrin
Good video. One question please, what Fender model is that guitar? I want to buy one of the same and follow your videos, since I am subscribed to the channel
Just as Keef never got over Chuck Berry, George never got over Carl Perkins. And there's nothing wrong with that!
pleeeeease making a backing track of this for usssss thomm
That lyric is Robert Johnson's, straight off the record.
This is what I like about George Harrison..he play what the hope song need and not over play and be show off.
the famous "dope-sick" gig for clapton.... first time he had to travel overseas as a full blown H addict, and was not prepared for the withdrawals. had to cop methadone off one of the camera guys just to play the gig.

I use guitar rig6 for the videos
Thank you
Wonder if Eric was looking real hard at George during them lyrics..lol
No, but I can fake it. Got an off-brand telecaster and the proper attitude.
Add the F over the D7..😉
Not sure he just made up the lyrics. I have a feeling Furry Lewis used these lyrics.
All I heard was an awesome bass player......
Klaus Voorman is the bassist.
@@ryban1001 Thx. He slipped through my radar. Interesting career.
Two drummers doesn't work? Doogie Brothers, Allman Brothers...it worked for those brothers

Leon Russell wasn't always fat?
