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.
