On the one hand George the budding songwriter was finding it difficult to get his compositions included on a Beatles record. But on the other hand he had two great mentors to learn from. By 1969 he had matured into a great composer. While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Here cones The Sun are classics, while Something is the equal of the best of John and Paul. By January 1969 George had built of a large reserve of unreleased material, that he can be seen in Peter Jackson's Get Back documentary talking to John about recording a solo album.
