While My Guitar Gently Weeps
1968 song by the Beatles
"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1968 double album The Beatles (also known as the "White Album"). It was written by George Harrison, the band's lead guitarist, as an exercise in randomness inspired by the Chinese I Ching. The song conveys his dismay at the world's unrealised potential for universal love, which he refers to as "the love there that's sleeping".
The song also serves as a comment on the disharmony within the Beatles after their return from studying Transcendental Meditation in India in early 1968. This lack of camaraderie was reflected in the band's initial apathy towards the composition, which Harrison countered by inviting his friend and occasional collaborator, Eric Clapton, to contribute to the recording. Clapton overdubbed a lead guitar part, although he was not formally credited for his contribution.

"BLACKBIRD"
(John Lennon – Paul McCartney)
If you are a Beatles fan and a guitarist, as many are, and happen to have an acoustic guitar with you when you're with a group of friends, what do you think the likelihood is that someone will ask you to play "Blackbird"? I would think the likelihood is pretty darn high!
What first appeared as a simple but impressive solo acoustic Paul track on the “White Album” has ended up becoming one of the most popular signature pieces of his entire career. Apart from “Long Tall Sally,” it was one of the first Beatles songs that McCartney decided to perform live during his 1975/1976 “Wings Over The World” tour (as appearing on the album "Wings Over America." Then, from 2002 onward, “Blackbird” has become a fixture in his set lists, the song getting a rousing reception after every performance on every tour he's done since. For such a delicate acoustic piece hidden away as the eleventh track on a double-album, a song that was never a charted hit, it has been said to have become one of the Top Ten most covered songs of all time. Not bad, Paul.
