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!
