6th September, 1968 - George records "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" for the 'White Album' and brings Eric Clapton to the session to play lead guitar. After sessions on the 5th when he recorded a vocal take, George was driving from Surrey to London with Eric and asked him to come and play a solo on one of his songs. Eric played the solo we hear today on the 1957 cherry red Gibson Les Paul "Lucy" which Eric had recently given to George as a gift. @georgeharrisonofficial
