I'm tired of pretending i don't like this band and that they aren't good pt. 1

i know this is going to offend a lot of people but idc anymore.

George is probably the best guitarist of the late 60's and perhaps, the entire 60's and 90's. Many might be surprised by this assertion and tell me that Jimi Hendrix was better. Why? Because Jimi played left handed? I don't think that makes you a great guitar player, sorry.

If you want to impress me Jimi, and I know you probably won't read this, but, how about try playing the BASS left handed for a change?

Paul transcends all musical logic with his base playing. he is a human fretboard. And his playstyle actually evolved over his career. Jimi's has changed very little since 1969 tbh, stuck in the past and seems content to live with his left-handed complacency. Paul managed a way to sing left handed and change the world, what is Jimi Nichol's excuse?

George's opening riff on Not Guilty(Take 102) is an astounding piece of technical musicianship and an outstanding use of tension and suspension that many professional guitarists can only dream of. I dont blame them for electing to keep this electric and eclectic contribution off their self-titled album as it was probably a bit too far ahead of its time. Ears simply weren't developed enough in 1968.

Frank Sinatra once said Not Guilty(Take 102) was the perfect song AND he deftly noted that George manages to get his point across without once saying "I'm innocent"
