'Lost' George Harrison Guitar Solo Discovered in 'Here Comes the Sun' Tapes

The discarded guitar part was intended to appear about one minute into the song and was discovered by Harrison's son, Dhani, longtime Beatles producer Sir George Martin and his son, collaborator Giles.
"It's totally different to anything I've ever heard," confesses Dhani in the video, which you can watch below. For his part, George Martin coolly admits, "I'd forgotten about that."
The solo was found among the original master tapes during a trip the trio took to Abbey Road Studios, which famously lent its name to the Beatles' swan song. The tapes also feature a stronger presence of the Moog synthesizer, which is tucked deeper into the mix on the album version. Check it out below

Forty three years later and we're still enamored with The Beatles! Just goes to show how incredible these four guys were and how they shaped an entire generation. The "Rap Generation" will never, ever understand the importance of The Beatles (nor can we ever expect them to.) They've never heard of Rock N Roll, Mowtown or the British Invasion...or even any real music for that matter. Our generation knows and that's all that's important.
