Quoted from An_Apple_Beatle
I think he was a great observer. I mean he had to be to a degree to watch his pals take most of the song-writing kudos.
He learnt so many instruments and I reckon he adapted to his role of not being under pressure to make tunes but when he did, they have this vulnerability that always resonates and reaches out at you. He seemed to capture the mood of the band when he wrote. Almost like a freezeshot photo of that time.
George was a team player...I don't like all his songs and I'm no expert on his solo career. He just has such a mournful sorrow in his voice but a tidy conviction in his guitar. There is nothing 'show-off' about him from what I can gather.
Just a lovely spirit. RIP.x

I love George's slide guitar playing,especially on "How Do You Sleep?" and "Free as a Bird". I've heard alot of other musicians praise him for that. I love his tastefulness. He knew when to do what,he didn't overplay,he complimented the songs instead of dominating them. It's part of what made The Beatles as a band better than the sum of their parts. I love his harmonies. His harmony singing made alot of John and Paul's songs sound better. I love his sitar playing on "Norwegian Wood". It made a good song great. I love his solo in "Something". It's one of the most beautiful in the history of rock. I love his stuff with the Traveling Wilbury's. They wouldn't have existed without George. I love "All Things Must Pass","Cloud Nine",and "Brainwashed". They are all great albums,filled with gorgeous singing and beautiful guitar playing. I also loved his sense of humor. I love that I have his music to listen to. He's made my life infinitely more enjoyable.
