[edit] Lennon's contribution
Although your comment about Lennon's absence from this recording is correct, Lennon definitely did play on the final version of ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps’ which is evidenced in The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions by Mark Lewisohn. Just thought you should know so that you can delete the inaccuracy in current text.

[edit] A note about the song’s composition
Thought you might like to mention that George employs a common guitarist’s compositional tool in the writing of this song known as the ‘D-nut’ chord technique. By playing the chord of D in the “nut” shape the guitarist is able to create subtle harmonic embellishments or melodic ideas by removing the 2nd finger or adding the 3rd and/or 4th finger. This is how George wrote the melody to ‘Here Comes the Sun’. He capoed his guitar on the 7th fret resulting the final key of A major.
He also used the same technique on his 1965 song ‘If I Needed Someone’ which shares a similar melodic pattern as a result.

[edit] Do we need to mention every cover?
User:SocraticronicAnarchaic added the following (at the very bottom of the article): "Also performed by the Voodoo Glow Skulls on the 1993 CD Who Is This Is?". Somehow I doubt that we need to list every band that has ever covered this widely-covered song, but just in case, I'm leaving the info here. If someone really thinks it should be re-added, it should, of course, be properly formatted and wikified this time, and added in with the already-listed notable covers.

[edit] Yet Another Cover Version
Concerning cover versions maybe it should be said that there is another cover from Steve Harley & Cockney Rebels (just to help to complete the list). This cover is very different from the original (a bit more "rocking"-style). 89.12.3.170 10:11, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
