"Here Comes the Sun" is a song by George Harrison from The Beatles' 1969 album Abbey Road.Harrison, McCartney and Starr recorded the rhythm track in 13 takes on 7 July 1969. The following day he taped his lead vocals, and he and McCartney recorded their backing vocals twice to give a fuller sound. A harmonium and handclaps were added on 16 July. Harrison added an electric guitar run through a Leslie speaker on 6 August, and the orchestral parts (Martin's score for two piccolos, two flutes, two alto flutes and two clarinets) were added on 15 August. "Here Comes the Sun" was completed four days later with the addition of Harrison's Moog synthesizer part. The master tapes reveal that Harrison recorded a guitar solo that was not included in the final mix. The solo was 'lost' for more than 40 years.Dhani Harrison, the son of George visited Abbey Road studio with long-time Beatles producer George Martin and his son, Giles to film a documentary on George.
