While My Guitar Gently Weeps

<p>wow, this is just crazy</p>

<p>this isn't an mp3 download of the original song, but just cheque it out. it's pretty good you'll see.</p>

<p>yeah its a great song. period.</p>

<p>Pretty much. I love Clapton's dirty guitar sound.</p>

<p>clapton......???</p>

<p>Yeah, Clapton. He plays the wonderful guitar part on that song. George Harrison could only dream about playing the guitar that well.</p>

<p>Yeah, Clapton and Harrison were good friends. Clapton played the solo for this song, and Harrison helped write Badge (a song by Cream).</p>

<p>i did not know that clapton played the guitar part</p>

<p>did any of you guys check out the link, though?</p>

<p>I did.</p>

<p>I have a friend who plays the ukelele. It's kind've amusing considering we live in Boston.</p>

<p>Clapton plays an awesome solo in that song, but some live versions of it that he's done have been even better. Best guitar solos ever, I'd have to say Stairway to Heaven, Freebird, Hotel California, etc.</p>

<p>one of the greatest songs ever written. the weeping effect of clapton's guitar is truly beautiful. and that's cool how he transposed it for the ukelele. george harrison loved the ukelele. if anyone has seen the beatles anthology on dvd, he plays some nice songs on it in the extra features.</p>

<p>regarding the song performed live, clapton's performance of it during the Concert for George was just awe-inspiring.</p>

<p>btw has anyone heard george harrison's acoustic version of while my guitar gently weeps off the esher demos?</p>

<p>yep yep, i have</p>

<p>it's awesome isn't it? hahah and george's accent slips on "no one alerted you"</p>

<p>Rick,</p>

<p>I really enjoyed this. Thanks for posting it!</p>

<p>Ok, here's what I found out:
Jake Shimabukuro is one of the best 'ukulele players out there, doing some innovations that might have been considered too wild by such 'ukulele masters as Don Baduria or Herb "Ohta San" Ohta.</p>

<p>He has been called "the Hendrix of the 'ukulele". The one thing he does is break tradition, adding almost a rock approach to the instrument, from hammering the strings to using pedals, yet can also play in the old cha-lang-a-lang style as if had been around during the younger days of Genoa Keawe or Kawai Cockett.</p>

<p>jeez, i didn't know that. dude is sicc with it.</p>

<p>very good, great find</p>
