I don't know if we've seen this pic before on here. George Harrison with a Guild Brian May.
It was posted (by someone else) on FB today.What the heck. I literally just used that photo in one of my Brian May Guild articles. I’d never seen it before yesterday.
That was his last public performance according to the Brian May page.
And The Beatles..... He was pretty much an exclusive Fender (or Fender-style) player, save for the Wilburrys.
I wouldn't agree that he was an "exclusive Fender (or Fender-style) player." His "Rocky" Strat is famous for it's paint job, but he was a Gretsch and Rickenbacker player for most of the early Beatles years, played several Gibsons (notably an SG) in the later Beatles years, but did use a Telecaster for the Let It Be era. For his solo career he used a multitude of guitars as well, including the white Strat in "The Concert For Bangla Desh", but a lot of Gretsch and Gibson playing as well. And don't forget the Gretsch Duo Jet on his "Cloud nine" album cover!
Here's just a taste:

"Long And Winding Road" was right down there with "Hey Jude" for me:"In May 1970 Harrison's "For You Blue" was coupled on a US single with McCartney's "The Long and Winding Road" and became Harrison's second chart-topper when the sides were listed together at number one on the Hot 100...
of course Something was one of my least liked songs on that album
May I suggest thinking of the Mrs. while you take a stab at it acoustically, y'might be surprised.:friendly_wink:
