“If we had tried to plan it, it would’ve never happened. The thing happened just by magic”: From Beatlemania to All Things Must Pass and beyond – the definitive guitar history of George Harrison's greatest recorded works

George Harrison, suited, booted, in the Fab Four's trademark mop-top hairstyle, plays a Gretsch live onstage in South Australia with the Beatles in 1964.
