Actually, Duane was probably the only guitar player around who even had a chance to hang with Eric! After jamming with him, Eric invited him to play, by the way, both Skydog and Eric play slide on this tune!

I prefer the original version, but admire the acoustic version for the creativity. Kinda like the Hotel California versions. They are both good but the harder, rockier versions are preferred.

Dude, George Harrison shared licks (Badge, While My Guitar) & women (Patti Harrison/Boyd) with slowhand. If you meant "hang" like being able to match licks, well quiet George was pretty good there as well.

Absolutely, I stand happily corrected, George did things with a song that no one else can even come close to. And when George and Eric got together......

George didn't actually play any licks on either of those songs - he played rhythm only. The reason EC ended up on 'While My Guitar' was because George knew he did not possess the ability to play the solo he envisaged for the tune.
George was a great writer/musician, but I don't think he could 'hang' with a lot of improvising players. I heard some of George playing with EC's band in the early 90's, and he took a few solos. George sounded amateurish compared to what EC pulled out at those gigs.

Your opinion, thanks.
As far as While My Guitar, George invited EC to play mainly because of the tension in the studio between the Beatles. He invited EC to play to get his song recorded. Although, I could have done w/o Yoko caterwauling.
Do yourself a favor & watch/listen George's guitar work on Till There Was You, For You Blue, Taxman, etc........ EC performed in a different genre of music. George was just the lead guitarist for the most sucessful band of all time!

I am familiar with all Beatles tunes - I own all the albums and know them all pretty well to say the least. George was great in the context of the Beatles (as was Ringo for that matter), and I am not going to knock them as a band because they were awesome. No other band comes close to achieving what the Beatles did in rock/pop.
But George as a player, had a lot of great ideas, but I don't think was all that great technically. This is all subjective of course, but to me George never really made the instrument 'sing' the way a great player can. I always look at a player's vibrato, or lack thereof, as in my opinion, that really shows of the quality of a player. I can't even think of what George's vibrato was like, but I can always recall the vibrato stylings of EC, SRV, BB King, David Gilmour, Brian May, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai.

I respect your opinion, I do not agree however.
I enjoy EC, King, Gilmour, May. But Satriani & Vai are (IMHO) just guys that play fast but have no soul.
Sometimes less is more.

Well at the end of the day it is only opinion , whether it be your or mine - how do you define soul?
Did Charlie Parker or John Coltrane have 'soul'? they played at very fast tempos too.

Vibrato or Soul, I am think it is best to leave this discussion saying that we have our own adjectives & opinions.
Peace, out.
