Here Comes the Sun


"Here Comes the Sun" by The Beatles is a George Harrison composition featured on the band's eleventh studio album, Abbey Road (1969). Harrison wrote the song at Eric Clapton's country house as a personal escape from the pressures of the band's business affairs, and its lyrics reflect a sense of relief and renewal. For electric guitar players, it offers an accessible yet rewarding fingerpicking study with Harrison's characteristic melodic sensibility and clean chord voicings.

  • George Harrison wrote the song at Eric Clapton's home, making it a rare Beatles track with a direct personal connection to Clapton.
  • The song appears on Abbey Road (1969), widely considered one of the Beatles' most musically refined and technically accomplished albums.
  • Harrison's rhythm and lead work on this track blends acoustic-style fingerpicking with electric guitar tones, making it versatile to study on either instrument.

George Harrison's sonic blue 1961 Stratocaster delivered the ice-pick treble leads on Rubber Soul sessions, its standard Fender single-coils cutting through the mix with brilliant clarity. The Strat's bright tone contrasted beautifully with the warm Filter'Trons of his Gretsch guitars, expanding The Beatles' textural range.

Harrison's rosewood Telecaster provided twangy, biting cleans during the iconic 1969 rooftop concert, its simplicity and directness fitting The Beatles' stripped-down live approach. The Tele's sharp attack complemented the Vox AC30, delivering punchy midrange definition without the need for studio processing.

Vox AC30

The Vox AC30 with top-boost was the sonic foundation of The Beatles' signature chime, delivering harmonically rich cleans with natural compression when pushed at moderate volume. Close-miked in Abbey Road studios from 1962 through 1965, it captured clarity and presence that defined their recorded tone without excessive breakup.
