“Although I have guitars all around, and I pick them up occasionally and write a tune and make a record, I don't really see myself as a musician. It may seem a funny thing to say. It's just like, I write lyrics, and I make up songs, but I'm not a great lyricist or songwriter or producer. It's when you put all these things together - that makes me.”

English musician

George Harrison was an English musician who rose to international fame with the Beatles. Born in 1943 and active through the rock era, he first played lead guitar in the band, then also took on rhythm and bass guitar, organ, and non-Western instruments. Known as "the quiet Beatle," Harrison helped shape the Beatles' musical direction. He later built a successful solo career, and his work is especially associated with Eastern musical influences.
