Here comes the sun lost solo

[Soulsaman]

Hey guys,

Just saw a clip that I'm assuming is from the George Harrison documentary. I haven't seen it yet but it shows George, Dhani and Miles listening to some unheard guitar leads from the Here Comes The Sun sessions.

Very cool!

Great stuff! Just watching GM's face during the last half is amazing. You can almost see him re-living the session as he hears all of the original tracks.

OK, I'll make a comment "Devil's Radio": the first half of the "lost" solo is out of context with the rest of the song, and the second half is just out of tune. George Martin made the correct decision in 1969. It has value, however, to study the creative process of the Beatles. I'm glad it has been found. I do agree that the bridge of the song may need a little bit more than the established Abbey Road version, but that particular guitar solo may not be it. Perhaps if the Moog had not been such a new instrumentality, it might have found more voice in the bridge. I'm more impressed with the digital clarity of George's vocals and the Indian influence on his vocal lines, with the turns and inflections that are definitely Eastern, and shows the direction the solo albums post-Beatles were to take. Finally, George taught Dhani well as to the intricacies of Indian music, hence his comment to which George Martin observed the family resemblance. Good show all the way around. Thanks.

I'm hearing a b7 bluesy feel over what is a very Major-feeling chord structure. Interesting to hear, but it does sound awkward musically.

"Well spoke, Puck!" (Seriously, you have several excellent observations there.)

Thanks for sharing. I have to get that documentary.

When The Beatles Anthology came out with all the alternate takes, I was impressed that by and large, what they chose to put out was better than what they rejected. You'd hope that is the case, but it isn't always.

I heard it and it sucks, no wonder George Martin was the Fifth Beatle.
