who played the guitar solo in while my guitar gently weeps
While My Guitar Gently Weeps The Beatles recorded "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" several times during the sessions for their self-titled double album, also known as "the White Album".[46] The recording sessions, which began in late May 1968, were characterised by a lack of cooperation among the four band members,[47][48] and by what Lennon's bandmates regarded as the overly intrusive presence of his new romantic partner, Yoko Ono.[49][50] In this atmosphere, Harrison had initially been reluctant to present his new compositions to the group.[51][52] Take 1 on 25 July – the version later issued on Anthology 3 – was a solo performance by Harrison, playing his Gibson J-200 acoustic guitar, with an overdubbed harmonium part.[30][37][nb 3]
