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.

    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.
