Video: 'George Harrison - Pete Drake's Talking Steel Guitar'

(Thursday, June 11, 1970; during sessions for All Things Must Pass) — George Harrison recorded Pete Drake performing “Pete Drake And His Amazing Talking Guitar” today in London during sessions for his triple-disc album All Things Must Pass, Harrison’s first release as a solo artist following the break-up of The Beatles.

As interesting as the technique is, its use was never evident on the finished production.
