While My Guitar Gently Weeps by The Beatles Piano, Vocal - Digital Sheet Music
By George HarrisonWith this sheet music, you can play "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" by the Beatles on piano! It's a carefully created piano arrangement based on the "Love" version of the famous song, which was released in 2006. "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" was written by the Beatles' lead guitarist George Harrison in 1968, after he returned from a meditation retreat in India. Since the rest of the band initially didn't like the song, he recorded a calm, acoustic version of the song, accompanied by just his guitar and a harmonium. In the following weeks, the full band recorded the version of the song which was included on their 1968 self-titled double album (also known as the "White Album"), in a much heavier rock style. George Harrison's original recording of the song was later included on the 1996 compilation album "Anthology 3". George Martin (often called the "Fifth Beatle") added a string arrangement to this version for the "Love" soundtrack album, his final work as a producer before he passed away in 2016. Today, "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is widely considered one of the Beatles' greatest songs, a reflection of George Harrison's isolation from the other Beatles at the time, and an example of his qualities as a songwriter. "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" makes for a beautiful piano ballad!
