George Harrison: The Guitar Collection


It would be George's 69th birthday tomorrow and he would have been proud of what his son Dhani helped create.  This new app is available on iTunes and its an intimate way to explore some of George's actual guitars and his history with them.  
I just bought it last night and have barely skimmed the surface of all the information here.  One of my most favorites features of the app is you can hear actual recordings of George re-telling the history of the particular guitar.  You can see the rosewood Fender guitar seen on the rooftops of Abbey Road while playing "Get Back."  Or zoom in and rotate hi-res photos and see all the scratches and wear on his Gibson J-160E from many tunes on Beatles For Sale
The app is worth the $9.99 so go to iTunes and check it out.

Happy early birthday George!
