Isn't that George Harrison?
 
As usual, all of you are wrong. He is using the Digitech Eric Clapton pedal during that song, and 6 others, like layla (electric and acoustic).
 
well i knew it sounded like george harrison on that part, and i've always heard that harrison had something to do with putting the song together with clapton, i was just never sure if he actually played it or not. but it looks like regadless the answer to my question is the digitech eric clapton pedal. thanks, and a tip of the hat to rory!!

EC just totes a Leslie around because they look so fuckin cool and keep cigarette smoke off him while he plays. :rolleyes:

Trollin', trollin', trollin'...
 
that guitar part sounds kinda like the one from "you never give me your money" by the beatles which i suppose George Harrison would have played. how odd. it sounds either like a leslie or a nice chorus pedal.

It's George and it's a Leslie. I think it's a bit much really.
 
Definately a Leslie. My 147 can nail that.

I'm completely suprized I got absolutely no rep on that post. I usually get bad rep from the people that can't take a joke, and good rep from the people that thought it was funny. Maybe I'm losing it.

I can take a joke, but it wasn't that funny.

Harrison was given credit on the original releases of that album as "L'Angelo Mysterioso." :D

To be clear, Harrison is playing the rhythm part on the bridge on a Leslie, underneath Clapton's lead work.

Hee Hee am I the only one who prefers Harrison as a guitar player?

I liked Clapton a lot until his post-Layla days, and I never did come completely back around. I thought his sound really went to shit during the Delany & Bonnie Bramlett / Leon Russell days, and Slowhand/461 Ocean Blvd, and didn't improve until Journeyman, which was a good album but overproduced IMO.

I do have a lot of respect for the guy, though, don't get me wrong.

I can't say that I thought every one of Harrison's leads was great, either, but they always seemed to fit.

Not at all. He's also a better songwriter, and a better singer. Better looking too. :eek:

I don't like the way Clapton always gets credited with the solo on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"; afaik, he does play on the track, but the solo is George.

George is just cool..I love the Octopus' Garden intro and solo, the real cool playing in Back in the USSR and the cool country-esque solo in Get Back.

The solo in 'Get Back' kicks ass. You know, at one stage he walked out and Lennon wanted to offer the job to Clapton?

Just one of those guitarist bits of trivia, like Rory Gallagher writing the riff to "Start Me Up" by the Stones, or Clapton begging Robbie Robertson to be allowed join The Band. Oh yeah, The "Quite Rightly" whispers in Donovan's "Mellow Yellow" are by Paul McCartney.

Cool! Didn't Paul punch John for soloing constantly over Hey Jude?
