who played slide guitar on my sweet lord
My Sweet Lord Harrison wrote "My Sweet Lord" in praise of the Hindu god Krishna,[2] while at the same time intending the lyrics to serve as a call to abandon religious sectarianism through his deliberate blending of the Hebrew word hallelujah with chants of "Hare Krishna" and Vedic prayer.[3] The recording features producer Phil Spector's Wall of Sound treatment and heralded the arrival of Harrison's much-admired slide guitar technique, which one biographer described as being "musically as distinctive a signature as the mark of Zorro".[4] Preston, Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, and the group Badfinger are among the other musicians appearing on the recording.
