    Default George Harrison

    Since we didn't already have a thread here for George, I thought I'd start one to commemorate the 10th anniversary of his death today.

    Since George was known as "the quiet" Beatle, his immense talent was often overshadowed. But, he was very talented indeed.

    I remember how empty I felt when I heard about his passing. George - you are missed. Thank you for your mark on this earth!

    Thanks for starting this Dreamer. I really didn't realize how much talent George had until The Beatles broke up. His solo work is good and I love the Traveling Wilburys!(sp)

    I am still getting over the dreadful shock of his death. I cried for about an hour (well, I was in bed at the time).

    The Quiet Beatle, an inspiration to millions, and still missed for his wonderful guitar playing and sensitive singing. I often listen to his harmony parts in Beatles songs.

    My personal top 10 'Harisongs':

    1. Something
    2. Here Comes The Sun
    3. My Sweet Lord
    4. While My Guitar Gently Weeps
    5. Taxman
    6. What Is Life
    7. If I Needed Someone
    8. Love You To
    9. Within You Without You
    10. Blow Away

    I have a DVD of a Carl Perkins special he was a part of. I didn't realize either what a great guitarist he was until I watched that DVD.

    By FAR my favorite Beatle. He was the most melodic and lyrical guitarist of his time. And guys like Joe Walsh and Mike Campbell (both huge fans of him and the Beatles) followed in his footsteps to become the most melodic and lyrical (fitting the song) players of their time. They never overplay, they serve the song and they are always melodic in their parts.

    My favorite George song is Here Comes The Sun. I've loved it since I was a little kid. It's so melodic and peaceful.

    This is so freaking awesome!!! Tom & Jeff sound beautiful but when Prince comes in with the guitar solo, it gave me chills! BTW- Dhani freaks me out every time I see him. I swear he's his Dad all over again!
