Just one of those ones you gotta do...

"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" was written by George Harrison and was originally released in 1968 by the Beatles on their self titled LP ("the White album"). Apparently Eric Clapton laid down a part on it? Famously covered by Jeff Healey (my personal favourite) and many others including Prince, Tom Petty, Jeff Lyne, Todd Rundgren etc.

It's a classic. Here you go. Enjoy!

    As a guitarist myself, the amount of skill on display here regarding your fluidity and timing is insane
  • @julient.6311
    The way you merge rythm and lead guitar is freeking awesome. Your skill is insane. Your dynamics is strong and you never loose acuracy and rythm. You'r actualy my inspiration to improuv folk guitar and enrich my way to play songs. Just brilliant !
  • As an avid Beatles fan for almost 50 years I can say this is one helluva great spin on a classic. He makes it his own.
  • @melwynz
    Felt that guitar bawl, not weep. Great singing and guitar skills. What a solo.
  • @rtbmusic1135
    You’re a legend Corey. I’ve been watching your stuff for years and years, and you never disappoint!
  • I love this song a lot and I'm usually critical of Beatles covers but you did this track justice
  • Your lead/chord are nuts - One of the best all around guitar player around. Thanks for the music.
  • @SigmundQuadros
    One could pick up that solo and play it to me independent of Corey or the song and I'd know it's Him on the guitar. Corey has such a distinct style and sound to his solos and playing. Absolute genius, absolute beast!
  • One of the coolest versions of While My Guitar Gently Weeps I've ever heard! The merging of chords and riffs brings it to the next level.
  • I just discovered you. You are fascinating to watch, as, you seem proficient, yet you let the music flow through you. You let the music do the talking. When you sing, your voice is almost the accompaniment to the guitar, instead of the other way around. You are captivating, as well as inspirational. I am trying to teach myself guitar so I can accompany my voice, and, it is difficult. You make it look easy. I think, you have great talent, as well as no fear of letting the music take over. I will definitely be watching more of you.

    duck me man i’m completely mesmerized by the way you play the style and everything it’s exactly what aim aiming to become
  • @smacker360
    Talent is playing like no other, talent is singing with emotion felt by your audience and having both is a gift from above. You are gifted and one of the few who have figured out why they were born.

    Dude, you don't need a band..... but a band sure needs you!
  • @DH1985-MB
    Wow - I mean seriously WOW! One of my all time favorite songs and you smashed it. Just the feel you have for the songs you play is unreal. Your technical ability is top notch, but you don't play just to showcase what you can do, everything compliments the song! Bravo!
