Well, to start with, I think you can argue a case for him being perhaps the most under rated guitarist of his generation. During an era when self indugence and over-playing were the norm for so-called "guitar heroes", Harrison played with taste and musicality. Many of his guitar parts stand as nice pieces of music on their own seperate from the lyrics (i.e. "Here Comes The Sun"). In the late '60's and early '70's, while my friends were enthusing over guys like Hendrix, Page, Beck, who I HATED (I know it's blasphemous in most parts to criticize Hendrix. Sorry. I can't stand his playing). Harrison always provided something interesting to listen to and learn. I remember Harrison and Paul Simon dueting on Saturday Night Live and sounding GREAT together. I love Harrison's fingerpicking, and his Carl Perkins influenced Rockabilly playing.
