This is not presented as well as it could be, but nonetheless it is interesting to hear it all crammed into a few minutes.
I guess that spending time with Eric Clapton, Jesse Ed Davis, Duane Allman, Ry Cooder, Ravi Shankar and one or two others had something to do with George's beautiful slide guitar style and musicianship. George was an extraordinary and amazing artist.

The sound of this recording is fantastic.
The IMAGINE Raw Studio Mixes place you in the centre of Ascot Sound Studios with John Lennon and The Plastic Ono Band all around you. No reverb or echo, no effects, no strings, just live, unvarnished and raw. Available in stereo and exclusively in 5.1 Surround Sound in The Ultimate Collection Box Set.
Imagine you are at the Lennon’s home, Tittenhurst Park in Ascot, England. It's night. It's the last week in May in 1971 and you are their special guest, sat in a chair in the very center of the their recording studio, Ascot Sound Studios. John Lennon is sat in front of you, teaching the musicians one of his latest compositions. He is talking and singing and playing the same wood-finish Epiphone Casino electric guitar he played on 'Revolution'. A bearded George Harrison is in front of you, to the right, playing electric slide on John's pale blue Fender Strat. Just behind you and to your right, Rod Lynton with Ted Turner from Wishbone Ash are strumming chords on twelve string acoustic guitars, and directly behind you to the right, John and George's old friend Klaus Voormann is playing his deep hand-painted Fender Precision bass. Behind you to the left, Alan White (who would later join Yes) is playing his Ludwig silver sparkle drumkit, and in front of you to the left, John Tout from Renaissance is playing chords on the Steinway upright piano, and to his right, Nicky Hopkins is improvising on the red-top Wurlitzer Electric Piano, literally days before he leaves for Nellcôte to play on Exile on Main Street with The Rolling Stones. You are listening to the band playing 'How Do You Sleep' and all the hairs are standing up on your arms.

In India, George Harrison's name is treated with the highest respect. George opened the door and gave Indian classical music a world stage. He also promoted Indian culture and religious beliefs around the world. In India everybody knows George Harrison's name and what he did for their country.
Ravi Shankar and Alla Rakha's performances at Monterey in 1967 and Woodstock in 1969 were pivotal moments in musical and cultural history.

More George, this time with Jeff. No slide guitar, but a great little film. Only George could wear a louvred shirt to match his doors  Shine On Michael |

We lost George on this day eighteen years ago. Here's a lovely video he made at his home, Friar Park, in Henley-on-Thames.
Cool slide guitar playing too.

Fabulous--no other word. No question his talent was equal to that of John and Paul.

Going to see Bromberg Quintet in March...I knew this song from decades ago...never knew Harrison (on slide) was a collaborator...a commentator pointed out that the lyrical theme is similar to Taxman.
