George Harrison originally performed the song with a solo acoustic guitar and an organ; a demo version, longer than the officially released version, can be heard on the Anthology 3 album and in reworked form on the Love album. Eric Clapton, who was a good friend of George, played lead guitar on the album version of the song with a Gibson Les Paul guitar. On The Concert for Bangladesh, he performed it on a Gibson Super 400 hollowbody guitar, and later acknowledged that a solid-body guitar would have been more appropriate. liryc: I look at you all see the love there that’s sleeping While my guitar gently weeps I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping Still my guitar gently weeps I don’t know why nobody told you how to unfold your love I don’t know how someone controlled you They bought and sold you. I look at the world and I notice it’s turning While my guitar gently weeps With every mistake we must surely be learning Still my guitar gently weeps I don’t know how you were diverted You were perverted too I don’t know how you were inverted No one alerted you. I look at you all see the love there that’s sleeping While my guitar gently weeps Look at you all… Still my guitar gently weeps.

George was always the quiet Beatle but one day someone asked them if there were any problems and there was a scilence ut then all of the sudden George says “Well yes, your ugly tie for one.” haaha RIP George…so talented and yet so underated…
So underrated…

This man was a true humanitarian, with a realistic view of his place in the universe. Carry on, George Harrison!!

Those lines that were cut from the final record are the best ones in the song.
find myself gently weeping ~ as I listen to George,
such a gentle soul singing so beautifully & from his heart
Is there a tab or a video teaching you to play it like this, it sounds so much btter than the album version.
@lornisply this version is on Antology 3, and its on the LOVE album with some added orchestration.
I love you George
