C6 TAB Lapsteel Isn't It a Pity - George Harrison

Post by Bert Farroach »

Hi lapsteelers,

New month, new song!
I've noticed a lot of people like the Beatles songs I've done, because it's new material for the lapsteel.
This time I came across this beautiful "cycling" song by George Harrison.
And beware, once it's in your head, it goes on and on and on! :wink:
I think I've catched the most of Clapton's solo, and I did a bit of improvisation,
and due to the 4 chords repeating you can try out things for yourself.

My version is here:

But there are some great versions on YouTube in the same key, like George himself (with Eric) in Japan:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-eLzxxrowM
and Eric Clapton solo:

So play along with the stars! :D

If you want the complete 3-page PDF and the backing track, just email me, and I'll send it for free.

Hope you like this one too, all the best,
Bert

Bert,
Awesome version of a great Beatles song! Do you play the keyboards in the video, also?
