Greetings, guitar people! These videos represent the bonus content for the April 2025 issue of Guitar World, aka the one where George Harrison and his Gibson J-160E get the star treatment while Paul McCartney and John Lennon are relegated to the background.

For the tabs that go with (at least some of) these clips – as well as all the interviews from the issue, plus the gear reviews, song transcriptions, performance notes, Power Tools and more, pick up the new issue (starting February 18, 2025) on newsstands or at Magazines Direct.
