Didn't that book come with the disclaimer, "Inborn talent not included."?

Why is Ringo on the cover? No matter how I play my guitar, is just doesn't sound like Ringo!

Ringo is actually a very good guitar player.
Nice find Mitch. Let us know how you made out after lesson 1. LOL

Brian: Didn't Ringo play the lead on 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps'? They always used Ringo on the tricky bits...

Randy,
I am not sure about WMGGW. Some say it was Eric Clapton on lead.

Here is the answer to that question:
The composition was met with little to no interest by the other Beatles. Let down and yet undaunted, Harrison invited his friend Eric Clapton to join him during a day's recording session. Despite Clapton's doubts ("Nobody ever plays on the Beatles records"), Harrison convinced him otherwise. The inclusion of Clapton allowed for two things: a moment's relief amidst the inner turmoil the band was experiencing and a chance for Harrison to free himself of lead guitar, playing only rhythm and vocal.
Some concerns are given whether or not the famous solo in "Gently Weeps" is actually Clapton, as rumors report that the solo was re-cut and that Clapton's solo was not the one that was pressed. Contrary to this is a quote by Harrison, which offers:
"So Eric played that, and I thought it was really good. Then we listened to it back, and he said, 'Ah, there's a problem though; it's not Beatley enough.' So we put it through the ADT (automatic double-track) to wobble it up a bit."

Are you sure that the lead wasn't played by this guitarist:
