The issue The Beatles did a better job of borrowing ideas, it's they had the privilege of having ideas they borrowed as accredited as their own.
George Harrison in his whole career as a lead guitarist with The Beatles didn't approach nearly the same amount of notes played on a single Les Paul song. |
I`ve never sanctioned the Beatles did it first philosophy anyway, whether they did it first or not is actually quite irrelevant, its how they did it is where the argument lies!
I don`t why you`re comparing George Harrison as a guitar player to Les Paul, Harrison`s genius was in songcraft rather than playing the instrument.
