Ha ha no probs Bobber.
Sorry if I sounded impatient, it’s just I recall various threads etc that suggested Clapton had played the solo on Let It Be and another that a Spanish guitarist had done the lead on Til There Was You. And it’s a common discussion on other internet music boards where someone has a conspiracy theory that all the decent guitar on Beatle records had to have been really done by Paul, Clapton or, in some cases, Jimmy Page. Gets a bit tiring.
Poor old George gets impugned almost as much as Ringo who, various rumours have it, had his drum parts overdubbed by Bernard Purdie, or by Paul
George never had a problem acknowledging when someone had done some great guitar on his songs, eg Paul on Taxman or Clapton on While my Guitar. The idea he’d claim what is rated as one of the greatest rock solos when it’d been done by someone else (and would be easily found out) doesn’t really add up. And that Geoff Emerick, who was hard on George in his book, wouldn’t have used the revelation that the Something solo was secretly done by another guitarist to publicise his book. Emerick is on the record as a witness to George doing the Something solo.
