The unsurpassed Beatles group has become one of the most unique groups of the last century. The popularity of the group brought not only the talent of the singer and composer, but also the successful guitarist George Harrison.
George Harrison is a talented guitar player of all time. A young man was born in Liverpool in 1943.
Life and career of George Harrison
The life of a famous singer began in a small house in the vicinity of the city of Liverpool. George was born into a Catholic family. He was the youngest child of four children. George's family was not rich. My father originally sailed the seas, but after marriage he became a simple bus driver. The boy’s mother worked as a seller in a local store.
George graduated from the Liverpool Institute in his hometown. The boy was not distinguished by perseverance and a love of knowledge. Even there, he differed from his peers in the unusual fashion and insolence of behavior. The boy could not get a haircut for months, wear tight pants, and during the lessons he painted notebooks with sketches of guitars.
According to him, he was so passionate about guitars that he spent his first savings on a unique acoustic guitar worth 3, 10 pounds. At that time it was a lot of money.
George later began studying guitar skills. He quickly learned to play the instrument and began to compose uncomplicated works. It was thanks to the guitar that he first met Paul McCartney, who studied two years older than him.
In 1957, Harrison founded his first band called "Combo." There, the boy played together with his brother and his friend. However, the group was one-day and did not last long. That same year, The Quarrymen was founded, sponsored by John Lennon.
When Harrison turned 16, his friend Paul McCartney invited him to join his group. However, because of the age difference, they looked at George for a very long time as a child, and constantly made fun of him. In the late 50s, the group was renamed first to "The Silver Beetles", and then to "The Beetles".
A career in the Beatles brought success to all of its members. Despite the fact that the bulk of the songs were written by the famous Lennon and McCartney, George also owns the authorship of several songs from famous albums. In the group, Harrison earned the nickname “quiet beatle” because of his unique ability to lower his voice. Melodious and calm songs are still hits around the world.
After the band broke up, George Harrison decided to devote himself to the stage and begin a solo career. In the same years, Harrison adopted Hinduism and devoted most of his work to this direction. George's first solo album was an album titled "All Things Must Pass." Separately, the song "My Sweet Lord" was released, which was completely dedicated to Krishna. The composition reached the top of the charts, however, it also became the subject of a lengthy lawsuit. The incident arose due to the accusation of George Harrison of plagiarism.
George Harrison received no less fame as a film director. He owns Hand Made Films, which has released many inimitable paintings. Among the most popular: "Cards, money, two trunks", "Bandits of the time", "The Life of Brian by Monty Python".
Family life of a famous guitarist
The personal life of a man was not constancy. Harrison has been married twice. The first love of the famous guitarist was the fashion model Patti Boyd. The marriage did not bring children. The couple divorced due to constant disagreements. The second wife of George Harrison was the secretary of the company with which he collaborated, Olivia Trinidad Arias. The woman gave birth to George a son who, according to the canons of Hinduism, was named Dhani. In marriage, they lived until the death of the singer.
