McCartney Times

George Harrison’s role in The Beatles was a simple one – to begin with, at least. He was the unique and stylish guitarist who stood behind the principal songwriters of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, ready to harmonise at the drop of a hat. However, by 1969, things had changed, and Harrison was no longer happy to play second fiddle.

Harrison had found his musical chops by the time Abbey Road and Let It Be were around the corner, and, after a few successful moments on those projects, he was now keen to enact his songwriting skill on the Fab Four’s records more persistently. It was a decision not met with enthusiasm from Lennon and McCartney.

The conversations, or perhaps more pertinently the lack of them, led to Harrison temporarily quitting the band, and after being ignored while performing some of the songs he had written, Harrison stormed out of the Get Back sessions. Though he left the studio in a rut, he would prove his detractors wrong and by writing one of the best tracks in the band’s extensive back catalogue.
