    I never referenced how he was funny: for instance: Savoy Truffle: WHITE ALBUM. rest my case. otherwise, go watch his SET ON YOU music video. although it wasnt him doing the backflip i can almost guarantee, i bet you it was his idea.

    ^Be sure of it!
    George is definitely one of my biggest inspirations in many ways. He was the reason why I started playing the guitar and my dream is to learn how to play the sitar. Also, made me make a research on Estern culture and spirituality. I really love him :) There are so many songs I like from him, currently my favorite is "If You Believe"

    I am grooving to a lost Harrison masterpiece, "Thanks for the Pepperoni". They included it on the re-release of All Things Must Pass.

    When I try to learn old Beatles songs on the guitar, I am often frustrated by how difficult the chords are. Harrison was a sophisticated guitarist very early on.

    Interesting that people now think of him as "underrated" as a guitarist. My memory of the Beatle era is that George was always considered one of the best lead guitar players of all time. Certainly one of the most creative. I remember the bands back then were always trying to learn how to play the Beatles instrumental breaks, most of which George wrote.

    The 'Quiet one' = seems that His Muse of Consideration is of a doctrine that we should all embrace - As strong as/of characters John and Paul were (Ringo being an element of his own particular design) when George spoke, all listened - his patience of retaining musical composition whilst the others took preference before his, (as his of catalogue of songs on "All things must pass" shows) for me exhibits how much Class; before pride he had - Not only a Gentle man - but a Gentleman too

    Back in the late 1980's, my band and I were handing flyers out to promote our show with some gals that were dressed very provocatively, he walked by and I said, "Hello Mr. Harrison ", he looked me in the eye and said, " Hello, you could call me George" .... we stood there as if Bigfoot walked by or a UFO flew by !!!! We were in awe .... my female friend kissed me on the forehead and the other girls ran after him.
    One of tge gals had a camera, took pictures of him and he went into a restaurant and one of the gals took a picture of George Harrison having dinner with Tom Petty, Gary Moore, BB King and Jeff Lynn.

    I loved George Harrison's music, poor guy couldn't express himself with the Beatles, that's why All Thing Must Pass" was so good. All that music on that LP were songs George Martin, John Lennon and Paul McCartney won't allow on any Beatle album.
    But if you notice on Abbey Road, some of the very best songs on that LP, were George Harrison songs ?
    During the Let It Be / Abbey Road era, John Lennon was dabbling with snorting heroine and was under Yoko Ono's influence.
    If the Beatles would have stayed together, I think you would have seen more song collaborations being written by Paul McCartney and George Harrison, more so than the Lennon/ McCartney songs.
