The guitar solo from The Beatles' 1969 hit single 'Here Comes The Sun' has been discovered after 43 years. The solo, which failed to make the final cut of George Harrison's major contribution to The Beatles' 11th studio album 'Abbey Road', was found by Harrison's son Dhani, Beatles' producer George Martin and his son Giles during a visit to the studio which gave its name to the album. In the video, the three men are sat at the mixing desk playing the original master tapes of 'Here Comes The Sun' when they stumble upon the solo, which Dhani Harrison admits he had no idea existed.

I simply cannot let this topic be lost without someone at least replying.

Well, it's interesting, but the guitar solo is definitly not George's best work. He probably didn't like it enough to leave it in the final version.

Look at Let It Be. George made three different guitar solos on each versions of the song, the video, single and album version.

Also, in Abbey Road, George brought the Moog synthesizer for the band. I think he wanted to put more emphasis on that instrument in "Here Comes The Sun" since it was new for him. This could be a reason why he scraped it from the song. He wanted a new sound, something different.

Whilst it's interesting I think the song is better off without it. It somewhat clouds the simplistic nature of the song (ironically given how simple the solo is). Who knows if it had been this way since the start maybe I'd like it more, but as is I prefer the way it's been for years.
