The Beatles share early version of ‘Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)’ featuring George Harrison sitar mastery
George Harrison's improvisational genius on the sitar is getting another moment in the spotlight with this early version, and it's a proper reminder of just how fearless The Beatles were about experimenting in the studio. What's brilliant here is the sheer spontaneity of it all. Harrison didn't overthink it, he just picked up the instrument and found his way through, which is exactly the kind of creative confidence that defined their best work. For anyone who thinks rock music's innovation died decades ago, this is a good nudge to remember that some of the most influential moments came from artists simply having a go and trusting their instincts. Worth a listen if you fancy hearing a bit of Beatles history that didn't make the original cut.
From NME Music: “It was quite spontaneous. I picked the sitar up and kind of found the notes,” Harrison previously said. “We put it on and it seemed to hit the spot” The post The Beatles share early version of ‘Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)’ featuring George Harrison sitar mastery appeared first on NME.
