Yes, plus he couldn't play 100 notes a second, anyway. I think that he was the first to say that. As you point out, he used taste and a melodic content, instead.
@@kenteel2944Yeah, he never claimed to be "the best guitar player in the world" and he certainly wasn't - The Beatles' most intriguing guitar solo is played by Paul McCartney on "Taxman" but it's one of the songs that changed music and it is written by Harrison. Harrison was, foremost, a flawless songwriter. Lyrics, melody, arrangement... no wonder Paul and John got protective of their Beatles writing monopoly, later on praising George in his solo career.
I came looking for their duet version of 'This Guitar,' never expecting this video of the actual basic session. George Harrison was confident, fresh off his 1991 tour with Eric Clapton and band, plus the live televised 30th Anniversary tribute to Bob Dylan (subject of the Neil Young discussion), and had quit smoking in 1991 before touring Japan. I wish this crew had stayed together to bang out what became George's 'Brainwashed' but the Beatles Anthology started soon after this, no regrets there.
This Guitar Cant Keep From Crying is one of George Harrison s`best songs. Sadly it was not played on the radio. The record company choose "You", a simple song.
This Guitar was the second single from Extra Texture. I heard it on the radio a time or two but, for some strange reason, it wasn't a hit. It seemed like a more natural single than You. I never understood why it wasn't a big hit. It was the very last Apple single and George's first not to chart.

This is a recording session that George did in 1992 for a new demo of This Guitar for Dave Stewart .After George died the demo was finished with Ringo on drums and Dhani Harrison on guitar . Also a female singer does a second voice . Can Chucho add more information ?

Still classless to say. Yeah, Neil Young has a unique voice and guitar style, but his music is honest and true. Young writes great music and you can hear his heart through his voice. Harrison's singing comes off as much more generic by comparison. In my humble opinion.
@@bonehead1170 I like both of them. Just keep in mind that George didn’t say that on the 5 o’clock news but in a room with some friends. He probably didn’t even know it will resurface after he is no longer with us. So really it is not classless. It would be like you stating in a room with your friends saying that Robert Plant as the worst voice ever. It just an example. That being said RIP George, and Neil continue your great work.
Stewart lent his studio for the Wilbury project. He worked previously with Dylan and Petty...I think Geldof did the Vegetables Of Love with Stewart as well. Siobhan mentioned as well...
George Harrison stopped recording in 1992, not so much because of The Anthology, but because of the terrible mess his film company Handmade was in. He found out that his business partner (and accountant) had been cheating him for years and he was facing bankrupt. People who saw him after it all came out said that "He looked 10 years older".
Buenas noches Chucho, no sé qué estarás haciendo en estos momentos, espero todo vaya bien, todos tus proyectos sigan adelante, admirable con los músicos que has trabajado, ojalá algún día tenga la oportunidad de ver tu gran talento
Funny to hear George dissing Young. This was the Bob Dylan 30th Anni Concert in 1992. This would of been during the My Back Pages tune. Which if you watch it (there is a camera angle) that shows GE Smith pointing to Neil as to do the solo. Anyway,this clip is funny because Harrison was closer to John than he was to Paul. I have a cd of Lennon (home recording) where he is throwing Dylan under the bus over his Gotta Serve Somebody song.
Neil's playing on the My Back Pages Dylan Tribute concert was awesome. I don't know what the fuck George was talking about. He smoked Clapton as far as I'm concerned.

I like both and respect of these guys (Harrison and Young) pretty equally but I will say Neil's guitar playing has had more of an impact on me than George's. I don't disagree with his critiques but Neil's guitar soloing is very underrated
Saint George always had his alter ego as a little prick. He also publicly dissed Paul for not appearing for the RnRHOF Beatles induction, not mentioning that he had just had his lawyers serve Paul with (yet another) lawsuit the week before the event, claiming that he should get more Beatles royalties for songs he didn't write.
I'm the odd man out in this discussion, I guess. I, for one, don't particularly care for Neil's voice or guitar work like when, as George stated, he stays on that one nagging note for way too long and makes it wobble. You'd sure as Hell never catch me playing like that. In fact, I hate it when even the greatest of guitar players stay strictly on one note for more than one note, but that's just my opinion.
This is not George playing his electric guitar parts, they were already recorded, as were the drums. This is maybe over-dubbing acoustic rhythm guitar and vocals. Maybe he was just adding vocals and the bass is being added too ?
George was a keen follower of great current music by other artists. He refers to Chrissie Hynde's "Back In The Chain Gang" (Pretenders) as having used this very chord (E7 with F on top) many years back and even plays a few strums from that song. George had amazing musical memory!❤
@@mirekgoldberg6045 I remember reading an interview where Jack Bruce said he thought George was the best rhythm guitarist he ever saw. He said his knowledge of chords was the most extensive of any guitarist he knew.
George obviously never heard any of Neil's work with Buffalo Springfield, his first solo album or Harvest. Neil could be a bit grating at times, vocally but overall a phenomenal talent.
George and Clapton may have great technique, but Neil’s guitar playing is on another planet sonically. Neil plays music that I can zone out to and that is what I like. I think both Harrison and Clapton would give their right arm to play with the emotion NY does. Either that or they just don’t get it and I’m sad for them.
At least Neil's playing is unique, unlike Clapton's endlessly repeated pentatonic blues clichés. Neil is also a far more interesting personality than Harrison and Clapton put together.
czcams.com/video/V_Df39PjkwA/video.html 14:00 here's the link to the all-star performance with Neil solo that George basically craps all over. never knew him to really throw shade he did more than that here though for old poor Neil he literally caused a lunar eclipse.
I Love George, but sometimes do wonder about his taste in music. To me it seems like George didn't like the direction music was heading. Intersting as the Beatles were such inovators. This is the second time Hearing George dis another musician or band. Neil Young here and once said he didn't like Zeppelin (at their start), later changed his mind but did say he could never undrstand why they didn't do ballads. LOL Still a great melodic, under rated guitarist and songwriter. Still a Fav of the Fab four
Why on earth does this neil young comments get all the attention? this is a casual recording, in the moment , of an exellent artist..., and he doestent like neil youngs guitar...., so what? he likes the album rust never sleeps..., come om..., its not the messiah taliking....
I think it’s fascinating that he (George Harrison) didn’t care for Neil Young’s voice. It makes perfect sense that not everyone loves everybody else. There are some artists I have never cared for that other people I respect might happen to like. That is the way of taste, for whatever reasons they naturally differ, and there is no explaining it or knowing why.
Still pretty rude to say he laughed at his guitar playing! Neil is a guitar God. And I think the song George is referring to is "All Along The Watch Tower" at the MSG Dylan Tribute some 20+ years ago. No one is likely to beat Hendrix on that one, but Neil's version of the tune is one of the best versions of the song ever, IMHO.
@@wallacecd7348 - I absolutely love Neil’s songwriting and guitar playing. I think he took Dylan’s folk poetry hybrid and took it in many interesting directions. He made simple stripped down rock and melt your heart country rock. I am probably a bigger fan of Neil than George to be honest, yet how can you disregard either one? It boggles my mind when I disagree with someone I respect, but that is the way of the world. If we were all the same in every way it might be less interesting to say the least. Thankfully, even Neil seems unaffected by criticism. Think about Sweet Home Alabama and the fact that from what I have heard Skynrd and Neil still were friendly towards each other. We can disagree and not be hateful towards each other. That’s what I do my best to remember.
@@owenwilberforce6138 Maybe George didn't actually laugh at Neil's guitar playing but he did say it was good for a laugh. If I gave the impression that I disregarded George's opinion then I apologize - one simply doesn't disregard a legend such as George. But he did go beyond opinion when he voiced contempt to Clapton about how Neil arranged and played Watchtower.
@@wallacecd7348 - I completely understand. If you ever read interviews with people like Bob Dylan or Van Morrison you quickly are surprised at how some of their opinions are easily understood and some surprising. I remember that people like Jerry Garcia just had no appreciation for The Doors. It is the same in every genre. Some lost interest in Big Band Swing jazz and preferred Bebop. Satchmo probably had reservations about the style and vice versa. I always love it when an artist I like who is newer pays respect to an older artist. I am certain the older and more established artists always take a while to adapt to the new, but often the newer artists are doing there best hopefully to move beyond what has come before. I am sure these fly on the wall views of all our favorite artists would boggle our minds. The unguarded moment is pretty revealing.
@@owenwilberforce6138 song writing yes. guitar playing sometimes sounds ok but it's not all that good. i consider myself a poor player and I know i can play better. Neil Young is not a good player. It's ok if you like him, I like some of it too but he's not good. ( as a lead player)
Trip he didn't like Neil Young. Said his lead is awful - good for a laugh - wow! Terrible voice - worst than me. I think Neil was a great guitar player, song writer and his voice matches his music perfectly.
It's disappointing that George didn't understand Neil Young. Neil is a force of nature. I would think that Harrison would get that. And I hope Stewart and especially Geldof are counting their stars to have been on this session.
Always heard he never had a bad word to say about anyone. Guess that was wrong. I always thought Neil Young was fantastic, even met him once and he was the nicest down to earth guy. George isn’t God after all. 😎
@@r.p.mcmurphy6623 Many people have preference for music. To be quite honest… I don’t particularly like Neil Young either. Many people would say the same thing with George. I would assume there are people who don’t really “like” him, but I would say the same thing to them. “Such a shame that they don’t ‘get it’.
Es tan malo con la boca hablando de Neil Young como músico,, por qué realmente no triunfo musicalmente solo,,tenía simpatía por el pero al hablar así de Neil tiene poco admiración ,,con esas palabras bajo a la mediocridad que fue,, de hecho en la canción que le crítica es el único que hace algo diferente a los demás con sus s Punteos ,solo hay que ver cómo Dylan y alguno más le miran tocando
@@Imsteppenwolf a si y tú sabes mucho,, musicalmente solo no triunfo nada alguna canción que otra,,,lo mismo que Paul,,,, el único que se salva de los Beatles es Lennon ,,se de historia de la música lo suficiente como para decirte que que el comentario de Harrison es por envidia de un Neil Young,, aparte me parece un comentario despreciable,, después de los Beatles quitando Lennon los demás solo les quedó el ego ,,,
Jesus how does a no talent bozo( Geldof) from a novelty act ( Boomtown Rats) get elevated to the kind of status that permits him to be in a recording studio with someone like George Harrison ?
Anyone who says Neil Young plays one note solos are referencing one song (cinnamon girl) - which happens to be his most popular and commercial song. I personally hate that song, however neil young never really plays "one string" or "one not solos" -- if you know anything about music theory will know that many cultures use microtonal scales to achieve subtle - yet distinctive - sounds that aren't often incorporated in traditional western music. George should know this, especially considering the beatles were so influenced by eastern music at times in their career... I'm gonna be a know it all and make the assertion that Neil Young plays in such a way that only people who can really feel his music get what he's playing. I understand if george doesn't care for his style, but to say neil plays "one note" solos is just plain ignorance to the highest degree and it bothers me to no end.
Wow, that was rude about Neil Young. He's entitled to his opinion, but a bit of respect never hurt anyone. It's kinda disappointing to see artists dissing other artists gratuitously.
I can only imagine that he was sharing his "private, personal" feelings among friends and never imagined it would be recorded and made public decades later. How often have we in our private moments among friends offered our opinion on a matter, even on a colleague with no harm intended. Nothing is private any more and there are fewer places people can share their innermost feelings without fear that it will come back to harm them or hurt someone else.
Nothing rude at all about having your own taste or opinion on someone. He was hardly broadcasting it to the world. You are over-sensitised and grossly out of touch with any sort of reality if you think one artist can’t share his opinion about another artist.
@@emscott2705 Learn how to read. I wrote "he's entitled to his opinion". I just think he could have worded it a bit more respectfully like "I'm not a fan" or "I'm not into it". He was mocking Neil's guitar playing and voice. I find that rude, period. Deal with it.
@@gpeddino You’ve just repeated the exact same point. I don’t have to deal with your half-brained over-sensitised nonsense over someone voicing an opinion in private amongst friends or associates.
Who in the world makes this horrible guitar tuning noise with this terrible fizzy distortion while George Harrison is speaking? I have been told to stop tuning up for much less, and there wasn't even a beatle in the room.
like so many other stuffed shirt brits, it doesn't surprise me that Harrison is showing a narcissistic sort of jealousy trait... real musicians support each other... i figured him for a punk anyway... he was nothing without the rest of them..
Whats the point of judging one man's opinion on another artist? Personally I can't stand George's penchant for Indian sitar music and usually tune out those songs. But I still greatly admire George's songwriting, music and overall talent. I have found that I flip flop about Neil Young's music between loving and being annoyed by it. I love his acoustic playing and singing. When I was first learning to solo on electric guitar I was amazed at how close I could get to Neil's electric "style" with nowhere near the talent of a good player. I did it with pentatonic patterns, distortion, bending and one note repetition. Admittedly...I sucked. But I was waaaay closer to Neil Young (in my mind) than I would ever be to Eric Clapton (my guitar idol). Do I care what G.H. thinks of N.Y.....or vice versa???? Not ONE BIT. I admire and respect them both and at any given time will binge listen to both of their catalogs because their music moves me. This video was historically interesting, but won't even hint at changing my opinion of either artist. It's just off the cuff talking after all.
A tip for sounding like Clapton. Spend a year or so listening to and copying note for note Freddie King and Albert King records. Learn a dozen or so pentatonic blues clichés, then keep playing them repeatedly for 50 years and you'll have it cracked!
Such an amateurish opinionated view on other's music, doesn't really hold well for an old Beatles member, or for any successful musician. I like Neil Young's music, guitar solos, and vocals as much as I like Beatles songs, which are lacking any solo instrument work. Shouldn't compare these different approaches. Neil Young is a one person effort, Beatles is a group effort (actually Lennon and McCartney doing the heavy lifting, Harrison has little contribution in comparison)
So do I and as for the yapes who are pissin' and moanin' about George having an opinion sayin' he had no right to say that. well George had a right to his own opinion. The truth is the naysayers taking issue with George would be on their knees worshipping if John Lennon said it and they would all be licking the smegma from his cock!
@@ellisharmon6912 He's no Steve Stills or George Harrison that's for sure. I do like his playing on his song 'Hurricane'. There's a live version of it on 'Decade' I believe where he really plays great. Of course it's probably doctored up and overdubbed for days. Like you said, I also like a lot of his songs. He seems to play fine rhythm guitar on his acoustic self-accompaniment on studio recordings and in concert performances. He's just not a real guitar geek. He's primarily a very good songwriter who doesn't particularly sing very well when you get right down to it who is really more about social & political activism than he is about being a true musician. For my money, the taller the soapbox and the louder the megaphone, the lesser the musician the man or woman usually is. I'd rather listen to people who can really play instead of wanna-bees who hide behind instruments when they should just run for office already and leave the music to the professionals. I can't stand wanna-bees in the world of music who are famous for all the wrong fucking reasons. Some women are stars simply because of their tits and ass or their social justice warrior agenda. I won't even bother naming names. And, then there's Yoko Ono - what the hell is up with her celebrity status? If it wasn't for John Lennon she'd be hawking her wares at a yard sale somewhere and she'd probably be arrested for suspicion of cruelty to animals every time she opened her yap to try to sing. As for male 'artists' who are faux stars, for the life of me I cannot understand all the rage about John Mayer!?! And Kenny G?! Give me a break! I won't even mention so-called country stars who are absolute posers - the list is too damn long! I am beginning to wonder if there is still an MK Ultra lab running somewhere, where mad scientists and CIA operatives are cranking out counterfeit pop-star overnight sensations in their cookie-cutter assembly line to saturate the market with music fakes and wannabees while someone with a LOT of money is flooding the media with cash payoffs to insure their dominating exposure in every market. The truth is a vast majority of the populace buys music that is popular rather than buying for personal preference. Most people do not even know what a good singer sounds like or what a real musician sounds like when they play. Flood the market, blitz the media with hype and voila their faces are all over every outlet with their videos with their latest single. It's very sketchy to me.

Ballad of a Thin Man (Bob Dylan)
Is 'Ballad of a Thin Man ' by George available anywhere?
I wonder the same thing, it is an incredible version that is heard
What year was this? Wish we had thousands of hours of film of George in the studio.
92 I think
Agreed. How I wish there was some film of the Apple Jam sessions during ATMP.
Is that Michael Hutchence sorta behind George?

George disses Neil Young. Now Paul plays with him. This is the only time I would ever take Paul's side over George's!
Saint George always had his alter ego as a little prick. He also publicly dissed Paul for not appearing for the RnRHOF Beatles induction, not mentioning that he had just had his lawyers serve Paul with (yet another) lawsuit the week before the event, claiming that he should get more Beatles royalties for songs he didn't write.

Yeah, George was always a bit preachy. Just because one is opinionated doesn't make one right.
@@djtoona Agree. Harrison's conversation with Lennon about how he didn't get Bowie is excruciatingly embarrassing.
I'm the odd man out in this discussion, I guess. I, for one, don't particularly care for Neil's voice or guitar work like when, as George stated, he stays on that one nagging note for way too long and makes it wobble. You'd sure as Hell never catch me playing like that. In fact, I hate it when even the greatest of guitar players stay strictly on one note for more than one note, but that's just my opinion.
Who is singing Ballad of a thin man?
George
This is not George playing his electric guitar parts, they were already recorded, as were the drums. This is maybe over-dubbing acoustic rhythm guitar and vocals. Maybe he was just adding vocals and the bass is being added too ?
I think drums were electronic.
8:15 this guitar cant keep me from crying
11:57 solo
17:16 lead
19:45 final
22:45 final solo
E7 with a F on the TOP!! Wow
George was a keen follower of great current music by other artists. He refers to Chrissie Hynde's "Back In The Chain Gang" (Pretenders) as having used this very chord (E7 with F on top) many years back and even plays a few strums from that song. George had amazing musical memory!❤
@@mirekgoldberg6045 I remember reading an interview where Jack Bruce said he thought George was the best rhythm guitarist he ever saw. He said his knowledge of chords was the most extensive of any guitarist he knew.
George obviously never heard any of Neil's work with Buffalo Springfield, his first solo album or Harvest. Neil could be a bit grating at times, vocally but overall a phenomenal talent.
George and Clapton may have great technique, but Neil’s guitar playing is on another planet sonically. Neil plays music that I can zone out to and that is what I like.
I think both Harrison and Clapton would give their right arm to play with the emotion NY does. Either that or they just don’t get it and I’m sad for them.
At least Neil's playing is unique, unlike Clapton's endlessly repeated pentatonic blues clichés. Neil is also a far more interesting personality than Harrison and Clapton put together.
That’s right abs that’s why he’s bitching about him. Because he can’t

14:00 here's the link to the all-star performance with Neil solo that George basically craps all over.
never knew him to really throw shade he did more than that here though for old poor Neil he literally caused a lunar eclipse.
I Love George, but sometimes do wonder about his taste in music. To me it seems like George didn't like the direction music was heading. Intersting as the Beatles were such inovators. This is the second time Hearing George dis another musician or band. Neil Young here and once said he didn't like Zeppelin (at their start), later changed his mind but did say he could never undrstand why they didn't do ballads. LOL
Still a great melodic, under rated guitarist and songwriter. Still a Fav of the Fab four
Yeah, and he did an audition of CS&N for Apple and didn't like them.
"The only person I ever heard who copped that chord is Chrissie Hynde on 'The Chain Gang,' here."
Magnificent.
It's an F diminished can't understand how they don't know it?
Why on earth does this neil young comments get all the attention? this is a casual recording, in the moment , of an exellent artist..., and he doestent like neil youngs guitar...., so what? he likes the album rust never sleeps..., come om..., its not the messiah taliking....
Why is this black and white in the 1990s?
Well, my opinion of George Harrison just dropped a few notches.
I think it’s fascinating that he (George Harrison) didn’t care for Neil Young’s voice. It makes perfect sense that not everyone loves everybody else. There are some artists I have never cared for that other people I respect might happen to like. That is the way of taste, for whatever reasons they naturally differ, and there is no explaining it or knowing why.
Still pretty rude to say he laughed at his guitar playing! Neil is a guitar God. And I think the song George is referring to is "All Along The Watch Tower" at the MSG Dylan Tribute some 20+ years ago. No one is likely to beat Hendrix on that one, but Neil's version of the tune is one of the best versions of the song ever, IMHO.
@@wallacecd7348 - I absolutely love Neil’s songwriting and guitar playing. I think he took Dylan’s folk poetry hybrid and took it in many interesting directions. He made simple stripped down rock and melt your heart country rock. I am probably a bigger fan of Neil than George to be honest, yet how can you disregard either one? It boggles my mind when I disagree with someone I respect, but that is the way of the world. If we were all the same in every way it might be less interesting to say the least. Thankfully, even Neil seems unaffected by criticism. Think about Sweet Home Alabama and the fact that from what I have heard Skynrd and Neil still were friendly towards each other. We can disagree and not be hateful towards each other. That’s what I do my best to remember.
@@owenwilberforce6138 Maybe George didn't actually laugh at Neil's guitar playing but he did say it was good for a laugh. If I gave the impression that I disregarded George's opinion then I apologize - one simply doesn't disregard a legend such as George. But he did go beyond opinion when he voiced contempt to Clapton about how Neil arranged and played Watchtower.
@@wallacecd7348 - I completely understand. If you ever read interviews with people like Bob Dylan or Van Morrison you quickly are surprised at how some of their opinions are easily understood and some surprising. I remember that people like Jerry Garcia just had no appreciation for The Doors. It is the same in every genre. Some lost interest in Big Band Swing jazz and preferred Bebop. Satchmo probably had reservations about the style and vice versa. I always love it when an artist I like who is newer pays respect to an older artist. I am certain the older and more established artists always take a while to adapt to the new, but often the newer artists are doing there best hopefully to move beyond what has come before. I am sure these fly on the wall views of all our favorite artists would boggle our minds. The unguarded moment is pretty revealing.
@@owenwilberforce6138 song writing yes. guitar playing sometimes sounds ok but it's not all that good. i consider myself a poor player and I know i can play better. Neil Young is not a good player. It's ok if you like him, I like some of it too but he's not good. ( as a lead player)
I wonder what Neil Young thinks listening to George hate on him. But what musically has Bob really done to be hanging around George.
Trip he didn't like Neil Young. Said his lead is awful - good for a laugh - wow! Terrible voice - worst than me. I think Neil was a great guitar player, song writer and his voice matches his music perfectly.
I think Neil IS a great guitar player, song writer and his voice matches his music perfectly.
@@r.p.mcmurphy6623 I think his best work was done years ago.
"He does that ONE STRING thing."
Magnificent!
The song is very John Lennon 😎
It's a bob Dylan song
It's George's.
Can see what you mean
It's disappointing that George didn't understand Neil Young. Neil is a force of nature. I would think that Harrison would get that.
And I hope Stewart and especially Geldof are counting their stars to have been on this session.
Always heard he never had a bad word to say about anyone. Guess that was wrong.
I always thought Neil Young was fantastic, even met him once and he was the nicest
down to earth guy. George isn’t God after all. 😎
Neil Young IS fantastic! Such a shame that George didn't 'get it'.
@@r.p.mcmurphy6623 Many people have preference for music. To be quite honest… I don’t particularly like Neil Young either. Many people would say the same thing with George. I would assume there are people who don’t really “like” him, but I would say the same thing to them. “Such a shame that they don’t ‘get it’.

Es tan malo con la boca hablando de Neil Young como músico,, por qué realmente no triunfo musicalmente solo,,tenía simpatía por el pero al hablar así de Neil tiene poco admiración ,,con esas palabras bajo a la mediocridad que fue,, de hecho en la canción que le crítica es el único que hace algo diferente a los demás con sus s

@@Imsteppenwolf a si y tú sabes mucho,, musicalmente solo no triunfo nada alguna canción que otra,,,lo mismo que Paul,,,, el único que se salva de los Beatles es Lennon ,,se de historia de la música lo suficiente como para decirte que que el comentario de Harrison es por envidia de un Neil Young,, aparte me parece un comentario despreciable,, después de los Beatles quitando Lennon los demás solo les quedó el ego ,,,
Jesus how does a no talent bozo( Geldof) from a novelty act ( Boomtown Rats) get elevated to the kind of status that permits him to be in a recording studio with someone like George Harrison ?
And he's a multi-millionaire too! Yet, what's he ever done?
@@jokermaan1 Bob was in making the cups of tea !. probably worked hard all his life that's what he's done.
Anyone who says Neil Young plays one note solos are referencing one song (cinnamon girl) - which happens to be his most popular and commercial song. I personally hate that song, however neil young never really plays "one string" or "one not solos" -- if you know anything about music theory will know that many cultures use microtonal scales to achieve subtle - yet distinctive - sounds that aren't often incorporated in traditional western music. George should know this, especially considering the beatles were so influenced by eastern music at times in their career... I'm gonna be a know it all and make the assertion that Neil Young plays in such a way that only people who can really feel his music get what he's playing. I understand if george doesn't care for his style, but to say neil plays "one note" solos is just plain ignorance to the highest degree and it bothers me to no end.
down by the river as well
Neil sends his regards. Too bad you were too busy stealing melodies from the Ronettes to write songs about Cortez to Manson to Rotten, Georgie Boy.
The green-eyed monster even had its effect on a Beatle. Neil's output far outshines George's wonderful. but limited catalog.
Look at Eric all you want, but at least Neil didn't steal your wife.
Wow, that was rude about Neil Young. He's entitled to his opinion, but a bit of respect never hurt anyone. It's kinda disappointing to see artists dissing other artists gratuitously.
I can only imagine that he was sharing his "private, personal" feelings among friends and never imagined it would be recorded and made public decades later. How often have we in our private moments among friends offered our opinion on a matter, even on a colleague with no harm intended. Nothing is private any more and there are fewer places people can share their innermost feelings without fear that it will come back to harm them or hurt someone else.
Nothing rude at all about having your own taste or opinion on someone. He was hardly broadcasting it to the world. You are over-sensitised and grossly out of touch with any sort of reality if you think one artist can’t share his opinion about another artist.
@@emscott2705 Learn how to read. I wrote "he's entitled to his opinion". I just think he could have worded it a bit more respectfully like "I'm not a fan" or "I'm not into it". He was mocking Neil's guitar playing and voice. I find that rude, period. Deal with it.
@@gpeddino You’ve just repeated the exact same point. I don’t have to deal with your half-brained over-sensitised nonsense over someone voicing an opinion in private amongst friends or associates.
I wonder if George had the measure of Geldof and recognised him for the charlatan trickster he is.
What are you, the Charlatan Trickster Police?
@@FAngus-ly8lk I know a hypocritical tax dodging charlatan when I see one.
Who in the world makes this horrible guitar tuning noise with this terrible fizzy distortion while George Harrison is speaking? I have been told to stop tuning up for much less, and there wasn't even a beatle in the room.
Neil Young is great but if you're in the wrong mood his voice on the sad tunes is pure torture.
like so many other stuffed shirt brits, it doesn't surprise me that Harrison is showing a narcissistic sort of jealousy trait... real musicians support each other... i figured him for a punk anyway... he was nothing without the rest of them..
Whats the point of judging one man's opinion on another artist? Personally I can't stand George's penchant for Indian sitar music and usually tune out those songs. But I still greatly admire George's songwriting, music and overall talent. I have found that I flip flop about Neil Young's music between loving and being annoyed by it. I love his acoustic playing and singing. When I was first learning to solo on electric guitar I was amazed at how close I could get to Neil's electric "style" with nowhere near the talent of a good player. I did it with pentatonic patterns, distortion, bending and one note repetition. Admittedly...I sucked. But I was waaaay closer to Neil Young (in my mind) than I would ever be to Eric Clapton (my guitar idol). Do I care what G.H. thinks of N.Y.....or vice versa???? Not ONE BIT. I admire and respect them both and at any given time will binge listen to both of their catalogs because their music moves me. This video was historically interesting, but won't even hint at changing my opinion of either artist. It's just off the cuff talking after all.
george did 3 indian songs. that's not a penchant
A tip for sounding like Clapton. Spend a year or so listening to and copying note for note Freddie King and Albert King records. Learn a dozen or so pentatonic blues clichés, then keep playing them repeatedly for 50 years and you'll have it cracked!
Such an amateurish opinionated view on other's music, doesn't really hold well for an old Beatles member, or for any successful musician. I like Neil Young's music, guitar solos, and vocals as much as I like Beatles songs, which are lacking any solo instrument work. Shouldn't compare these different approaches. Neil Young is a one person effort, Beatles is a group effort (actually Lennon and McCartney doing the heavy lifting, Harrison has little contribution in comparison)
Anyone with that opinion of Neal Young is ok by me!
He's right about Neil Young.
14:38 ".. it's that One String.. wneh, wneh..(..).it's good for a laugh..but... “
I agree about Neil Young's guitar playing.
So do I and as for the yapes who are pissin' and moanin' about George having an opinion sayin' he had no right to say that. well George had a right to his own opinion. The truth is the naysayers taking issue with George would be on their knees worshipping if John Lennon said it and they would all be licking the smegma from his cock!
I like a lot of NY's songs but he's a terrible guitarist.
@@ellisharmon6912 He's no Steve Stills or George Harrison that's for sure. I do like his playing on his song 'Hurricane'. There's a live version of it on 'Decade' I believe where he really plays great. Of course it's probably doctored up and overdubbed for days. Like you said, I also like a lot of his songs. He seems to play fine rhythm guitar on his acoustic self-accompaniment on studio recordings and in concert performances. He's just not a real guitar geek. He's primarily a very good songwriter who doesn't particularly sing very well when you get right down to it who is really more about social & political activism than he is about being a true musician. For my money, the taller the soapbox and the louder the megaphone, the lesser the musician the man or woman usually is. I'd rather listen to people who can really play instead of wanna-bees who hide behind instruments when they should just run for office already and leave the music to the professionals. I can't stand wanna-bees in the world of music who are famous for all the wrong fucking reasons. Some women are stars simply because of their tits and ass or their social justice warrior agenda. I won't even bother naming names. And, then there's Yoko Ono - what the hell is up with her celebrity status? If it wasn't for John Lennon she'd be hawking her wares at a yard sale somewhere and she'd probably be arrested for suspicion of cruelty to animals every time she opened her yap to try to sing. As for male 'artists' who are faux stars, for the life of me I cannot understand all the rage about John Mayer!?! And Kenny G?! Give me a break! I won't even mention so-called country stars who are absolute posers - the list is too damn long! I am beginning to wonder if there is still an MK Ultra lab running somewhere, where mad scientists and CIA operatives are cranking out counterfeit pop-star overnight sensations in their cookie-cutter assembly line to saturate the market with music fakes and wannabees while someone with a LOT of money is flooding the media with cash payoffs to insure their dominating exposure in every market. The truth is a vast majority of the populace buys music that is popular rather than buying for personal preference. Most people do not even know what a good singer sounds like or what a real musician sounds like when they play. Flood the market, blitz the media with hype and voila their faces are all over every outlet with their videos with their latest single. It's very sketchy to me.
