Instrumental Backing Tracks of the Gods: Yet Another Beatles Song Edition

From the (as it's called) White Album -- of which Cameron Crowe, who makes movies or something, famously said "you still can't buy a better record" -- please enjoy the once and future Fab Four and the instrumental track to George Harrison's astounding "While My Guitar Gently Weeps."




Let's be honest -- there's no way Bernard "Pretty" Purdie played on this one.

Absolutely amazing without the vocals. I have lots of studio boots (who doesn't?), but they're mainly snippets and nothing like this complete track. From whence did it come? I wannit.

why cite the hack Crowe? He thinks Pearl Jam's a good band. Yeah, yeah he was a teenage music journo; whadda ya done for me lately?

Well, I thought his line about the White Album was spot on, regardless.

Nice! Beautiful!

On the "I Feel Fine", I'm pretty sure that Ringo could manage a basic bossa nova, as on that track. He did some pre- Beatles heavy gigging with Rory Storm & The Hurricanes, after all.

Anyone know what guitar Clapton's playing here? Les Paul? SG? 335? Firebird?

So was John playing keyboards? I never really heard that triplet (?) part on the side of the snare before.
