Abbey Road’ is revered by Beatles fans the world over.
It was the last album they ever recorded, and its sequencing and construction are so tight it’s difficult to imagine any second of this album being different than it is now, almost as if it sprung fully formed from the minds of John, Paul, George and Ringo.
Yet, 43 years after its making, a lost George Harrison guitar solo for ‘Here Comes the Sun’ has been unearthed.
The discarded guitar part was intended to appear about one minute into the song and was discovered by Harrison’s son, Dhani, longtime Beatles producer Sir George Martin and his son, collaborator Giles.
“It’s totally different to anything I’ve ever heard,” confesses Dhani in the video, which you can watch below.
For his part, George Martin coolly admits, “I’d forgotten about that.”
The solo was found among the original master tapes during a trip the trio took to Abbey Road Studios, which famously lent its name to the Beatles’ swan song.
The tapes also feature a stronger presence of the Moog synthesizer, which is tucked deeper into the mix on the album version

In this video we see Sir George Martin, Giles Martin (his son), and Dhani Harrison listening to the mix of “Here Comes The Sun”.
Suddenly Dhani opens the channel with the “lost solo guitar”. And now, with the master track in the background, you can hear how it sounds in music.
That was George Harrison. A true genius.
