Well, George has it all over Pete when it comes to slide guitar, I'll give you that. I'm not sure if Pete has ever even attempted slide guitar. Here's my favorite Pete Townshend guitar solo: http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/s/The+Q ... ive+/qSseD

It seems he saved all his best soloing for the concert stage.

Paul had a unique fingerpicking style and you can first hear it on "Yesterday" in which that song has some classical influence even without the string arrangement. It was Donovan who taught John Lennon the Travis picking style that you hear on "Julia". The Beatles had classical influences you can hear it on "Because" guitar arpeggios I think Lennon on guitar for that song.

I think we were talking about "And I Love Her". Yes it has Latin styled arpeggios but it was the end of the song George Harrison were it sounds very classically influenced. Interesting the song had an impact on Carlos Santana: A Biography
By Norman Weinstein. As for "Till There Was You" I still think George is cross fusing jazz and Latin in his guitar playing on that track. But we disagree so let's move on.

Another Latin influenced song was "I'll Be Back" this has Flamenco arpeggios and I think very nicely played by George. I think George was great but not as good as say Roger McGuinn in using arpeggios. He was better at writing them with songs like "Here Comes The Sun" and "You Never Give Me Your Money" both great guitar arpeggios styled songs.

I have Pete over George Harrison but I was listening to George guitar work on "You Never Give Me Your Money" and "Sun King" in which the guitar tones sound as good as anything Pete did. Pete was such a great rhythm player and also innovative in his own right. George guitar work improved leaps and bounds because he basically played the sitar for over a year. A point Geoff Emerick made once that George devoloped into a great guitarist because he learned a lot from playing the sitar. I think by 1968-1969 he was better that Keith Richards and on par with Pete Townshend.

"Flamenco arpeggios"? What do you even mean by that?

I really don't know what you're trying to do with all these long-winded posts that just keep describing the guitar tracks in all kinds of fancy ways, not to mention all the book references. I have ears. I don't need books to tell me that George Harrison did or didn't play.

If you really are unhappy about Harrison's placement on the list, which I wouldn't be, can't you just try and form a reasonable argument? Compare him to the players you feel he should move ahead of, and actually make an effort to convince us. I wanna be challenged here, but all you're serving me is more of these empty little words and sentences that don't actually tell me anything.

I know that he has lost some chops (at almost 70 who wouldn’t?). Anyway, back in the 60´s he was able to play as good as any and IMO Blackbird is better than Dee

This is the concert I went:

On that clip, is he saying that he played guitar on Paperback Writer?

Say what?

I think he's saying the song had an impact on the writing of the Carlos Santana biography Carlos Santana: A Biography, written by Norman Weinstein. Pretty amazing how wide The Beatles' influence spreads.

That's what I thought. It makes me wonder what relevance that has to anything.

Can you guys help me with this?

On that clip, at the beginning, is he saying that he played guitar on Paperback Writer? Is that what he means?

I´m asking because I have always thought that Paperback Writer was a Harrison/Lennon guitar work. But know it seems is a McCartney/Harrison.

Santana was influenced by The Beatles. On Lotus, as part of a jam he plays a little of Fool on the Hill.

Well, if nothing else I think we can all agree that it was a travesty when George was in the mid 50s on this list...

Carlos was saying "And I Love Her" was an important early influence on him. He mentions it in the book "Carlos Santana: A Biography", written by Norman Weinstein. I have seen him mention also "P.S I Love You" as another song that influenced him. Of course Carlos Santana fused that Latin Rock style into a much more progressive style than anything that came before him.

Wow.
