It's a guitar with strap,an amplifier in back,some tears and a box of tissues.I know pretty easy,huh.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps by George Harrison. I'm not sure if George wrote the song but he was the first artist that i heard record it.

George did write it. Nice puzzle. Thought it was rain until you mentioned the tissues.

I thought it might be Jukebox Hero by Foreigner, with the whole "one guitar" theme, but yours makes more sense.

George started out as the process-of-elimination Beatle for me, but after learning who actually wrote each song, he is now my favorite (tied with Paul). Plus, I just found out that George and I share a birthday! (Feb 25)

Being a George Harrison fan from the get go I actually knew this one before I finished it.

Thx David,i thought he wrote it,but the Beatles did do a lot of cover tunes early in their careers,so i wasn't sure. Jeff Healy did a version of this song that was pretty good also.:)

Thx Kristen and happy soon to be birthday. I always liked George,he was laid back,and didn't have a big ego. When i listen to the Beatles now,i am always amazed at their musicianship. Even their simplistic old stuff,has nice little riffs from George,some great bass lines from Paul,and some nice off beat drum bits from Ringo. In this age of techno,synth,arrangements as wonderful as they can be,listening to the Beatles can be refreshing.

Thx Nancy,yes George was great,i wish he was still with us.:)

Got it! :)

Cool Nancy,hope you enjoyed the puzzle.:)

I'm glad you give us the answer right off. I'm in my 70's and don't always know the names of the songs or movies, even when the maker tells me. But, I want to know. If it isn't in the comments, I write down the puzzle number and keep going back until the answer is there. I'd rather it be there right away. You also explain it very well.

Thx Jennifer,i feel the same way as you do,i want to know right away,I admire your persistence in checking back to find the answer.:)

Cool puzzle, Al. I love the guitar and the song and artist. Yeah! I was a teenager way back when the Beatles were introduced to America. It wasn't long until we discovered what a great musician each of them were in their own right. I especially love George's music.

One of my all time favourite songs - in fact I am going to go and listen to it right now! Great puzzle

Thx Susan,i love it too,happy listening.:)

Thx Teresa,I was 9yrs old when The Beatles invaded North America. My brother Denis and I were so smitten with them that we got together with the 2 boys next door,we made fruit basket,hockey stick,elastic band guitars,and turned over garbage can drums,went out on the front lawn and sang Beatles songs for the neighbours. We were goofy,lol.:)

Wow. Thanks for the link Nitsa.

Very cool video. I like how he holds his uke like it's a classical guitar.
