George Harrison wrote "While my guitar gently weeps" while he was still with the Beatles. It appears on the "White Album"(1968). Furthermore, Eric Clapton actually plays the lead on that album recording as he and George were friends.

Sorry, bad trip in the 60's! Actually, I was only 2 at the time!
