From a Harrison interview in Guitar magazine, November, 1987 (as quoted in Beatlesongs by William J. Dowlding, Fireside Books 1989): "When we laid that track down, I sang it with the acoustic guitar, with Paul on piano, and Eric and Ringo - That's how we laid the track down. Later, Paul overdubbed the bass on it."

I have always loved this song from the first moment I heard it on the radio in high school and watched it performed by Eric Clapton on the big screen in The Concert for Bangladesh. But I am glad that you rightly mentioned that the history of this song will now always include Prince's performance at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004. The look on Dhani Harrison's face as Prince takes the song from one level of perfection to a level two steps beyond says everything.

I remember hearing an interview of John Lennon by Kenny Everett, where John was going on about playing a 6 string bass and, as he's describing the intricacies, hums the bass line of "While My Guitar......." Enough info for me to believe he was doing the 6 string. The 4 string accompanying him goes off on a tangent that's too melodic to be anybody other than Paul McCartney.

The version I heard is when George tried to introduce it to the band they were ambivalent, lacking enthusiasm to rehearse it. So, QUIET George took it to his friend Eric C. Once they worked it out, George brought Eric to the studio, which flabbergasted the others (at that time EC was already famous) at which point they became fully engaged
