      Right on and so many novice music fans have no clue that Prince is a top notch guitarist and musician. When he plays guitar he doesn't play long ,extended guitar solos. He will let it rip and shred for just a few bars ,that's it. Get in,get out but if you listen carefully, he's a master. He totally annihilated the guitar and solo on this song. Dhani Harrison is a huge Prince fan and personally asked him to join the band for that tribute for his dad George. Dhani Harrison ear to ear smile during Prince's solo tells it all. Dhani was digging that solo and his face shows it! Legendary band, legendary song, epic solo! The roof came down on this one!!

      Prince and his contemporaries wanted to honor George Harrison at his induction to the rock n Roll hall of Fame. The same day Rolling stone listed it's top 100 guitarists, Prince wasn't on the list. It upset everyone. So they all got together and had Prince perform the solo. This is an original Beatles song written by George Harrison. It's a beautiful song. They asked Eric Clapton how it felt to be the best guitarist is the world he told them to go ask Prince.

  • @cazgerald9471

    This was a tribute to George Harrison with one of his most loved and beautiful songs. Dhani Harrison on acoustic guitar is George's son. Steve Winwood is playing organ - he's a multi-instrumentalist and singer. Steve joined the Spencer Davis Group (age 14), was in Blind Faith (with Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker), Traffic, and had a successful solo career during the 80s MTV era.
    Interestingly, Clapton played the guitar solo (uncredited) on the studio version of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" - one of the few guest artists on a Beatles recording - with the exception of Billy Preston of course, who George also brought into the group.

    I love the way Dhani Harrison reacts when Prince gently falls back in front of him as he plays. In my head (and I admit I'm a hopeless romantic) Prince is telling Dhani, "this is for your dad". And throwing that guitar up in the air at the end? Iconic. Who caught it? George Harrison? Jimi Hendrix? Stevie Ray Vaughn? I would like to think any one of them caught it, held it, and gave it back to him when he got there. Can you imagine the jam? Like I said, I'm a romantic.

    I think the chord progression you're thinking of is "25 Or 6 To 4" by Chicago. It has been used by Green Day (Brain Stew) and too many others to mention. The Kashmir riff has a similar rhythm, but the chords ascend rather than descend as this one does.

      It's common-ish, but George changed it up with various chord inversions that gave it the more haunting sound that it has. If you just play those chords straight, it sounds *okay* but a lot flatter emotionally. That was part of George's genius on the guitar.

    Steve Winwood (playing organ here) is a legend and was a child musical prodigy, multiple instrumentalist and one of the best vocalists ever. He joined his first pro band at 14. Gimme Some Lovin is legendary. Dear Mr Fantasy from his band Traffic is so huge, it's played in the opening credits of the Avengers movie. He was in Blind Faith with Eric Clapton, he played organ on Voodoo Chile w/ Jimi Hendrix, after Jimi sought him out. Jimi actually wanted to be in a band with him, and was intimidated to sing with him because Steve's voice is incredible. He had huge success also in the late 80s with Higher Love, Roll With It, Valerie ssetc..winning a couple Grammy Awards. He's still singing and has a great voice in his 70s.

    Prince beat Mozart, he mastered over 27 instruments by age 17, he could dance, sing any note, rap, he wrote, arranged, performed ALL his music, including wrote hits for other artists, he has covered almost every genre, Metal, Punk rock, hip hop, pop, r&b, soul, jazz, blues, country, ambience, classical, instrumental. The Multi-Genre God. He could play anything, and your favorite artists have been deeply influenced by him. Corey Taylor, Steve vai, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Lil uzi vert, H.E.R. , Paul Mccartney, all worship Prince to just name a few. Prince recorded his first 2 albums at 16 all by himself, all instruments, lyrics, arrangement, composition & vocals were all by him. He was such a prodigy, that music executives wanted proof, they would fly across country just to see if he could really play all instruments, because it was so unheard of. Prince has over 50 official released albums and when he passed, they found over 10 thousand unreleased Prince music in his vault. He then came into the business and was the FIRST to fight for artists rights, and he WON. He would write "slave" on his cheek and go to meetings protesting against the industry. Prince was also the first artist to sell his music on the internet. You are talking about the most talented artist we will ever see.

      Maybe the best damn summing up of this SUMMA I've ever heard. And it MAY just be an understatement, LOL! I think it should also be stressed just what a remarkable PERFORMER he was. You did mention that he danced, but that's like saying John Bonham drummed. I mean, my God, just drink in any of his videos or live performances--SO charismatic! And, yeah, weird, but funny and self-aware, too. "When do they give the award for 'Best Ass'?' he said laughingly at a podium one time while accepting yet another prize. "Let's Go Crazy" hit my playlist this afternoon while I was out jogging, and the line "are we gonna let the elevator bring us down?" made me think, not for the first--or last--time: the sad irony of his dying IN his private elevator. We lost David Bowie and Prince within six months of each other. Bowie was also a genius, a visionary, and brilliant in too many ways to list. But Prince was, imo, the greater loss.

    This song was by The Beatles in 1968 before Black Sabbath or Led Zeppelin existed. Written and sung by George Harrison with Eric Clapton on the solos.
    Tom Petty sang first, then Jeff Lynne of ELO. Steve Winwood on organ. The guy next to Tom is George's lookalike son Dhani. This was a tribute for George.

    I know what you’re talking about, Hollywood! It’s a combination of The Spencer Davis Group - Gimme Some Lovin’, Chicago - 25 or 6 to 4 and a little bit of Led Zeppelin’s Kashmir. Steve Winwood was in The Spencer’s Davis Group so that is why it has that Gimme Some Lovin’ feel to this version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps written by George Harrison when he was in The Beatles that can be found on The White Album. George Harrison’s son Dhani was playing in this behind Tom Petty. God rest Tom Petty, Prince and George Harrison.

Tom Petty & the group asked Prince if he wanted to join in the song in honor of George Harrison and Prince said yes. I also heard (not sure if it’s true, but I believe it) heard that Prince didn’t even practice with them bc it was a last minute thing they offered him to join onstage andPrince just shredded his guitar 🎸 😂❤ RIP Prince, Tom Petty & George Harrison ❤️♥️

  • @mlong1958

    When Harrison was writing this, he was having a hard time getting John and Paul to assist. He called in Eric Clapton to help out and play guitar. That peaked John and Paul's interest. Paul wrote the now iconic piano intro and both assisted with lyrics. Clapton played lead guitar and of course Ringo provided a rock solid beat. I believe that Clapton is the only non Beatle guitarist to play on a Beatles record. Billy Preston played piano on the Let It Be album. One cool thing, out of many, about Tom Petty is that he would buy out the front rows at his concerts and then gift them to the people who had purchased the worst seats in the house. His feeling was that if they paid good money for shitty seats, they deserved to be up front.
