I liked George Harrisson a lot, the most discreet of the mythical group, but an excellent musician and composer
In fact I rediscovered him after having seen, heard the Concert for George by his friends, and in particular this song "Ist it a pity".
For those who don't know it, here is the live version by Eric Clapton, Billy Preston,...and a whole bunch of musicians

You are right about George he was an excellent musician he also played the uke. He was part of the george Formby appreciation soc...
Well done again JP pure class... Alex
A great song by Beatle George and a great version by his musical friends. Thanks for posting it up JP!

really lovely cover of this very great song....sounds great
I like George Harrison more and more as I age. Have really been enjoying Tedeschi Trucks and Jonathan Wilson versions of this tune lately along withy George's.
This is an absolutely stellar version. The intonation of the slide is spot on and oh-so emotive. Really beautiful.

thank you guys

I don't know the original but I enjoyed this a lot. Lovely lap steel playing, and it really suits the style of the song. Very nice work JP, it's always a pleasure to listen to your music.

Beautifully done, JP. The playing is very expressive and tasteful.
'All Things Must Pass' is one of my favourite albums. Up there with the Beatles albums for me. And this is one of the 4 or 5 stellar tracks on it. George was an incredible songwriter.
It's always a pleasure to hear your playing, JP, this is fabulous.
George is my favourite Beatle.
Excellent jp
Back 4 more... Alex
Excellent version Jp.
Some really excellent slide work.
One of my favourite songs.
thank you all guys, thank you Alex for the bumps
I like so musch this song of Harrisson (All the songs composed by Harrisson in fact)
I would like to make a sung version..if someone wants to try I can send him an instrumental backtrack, if not too bad for you I will sing it myself ;D >:(
ooooh...love your guitar work on here.... it's like David Gilmour covering Harrison...it sounds like Pink Floyd doing this....killer stuff... you have alot of magic in you frenchman!
George wrote some beautiful songs and this one is one of my favourites. Love the diminished chord. That slide guitar sounds magnificent, JP. You have covered this song excellently.
Smoking slide work brother really loved it if you send me the track I will take a crack at it
