There isn't much difference imo in his approach to his guitar playing on that song than say how the guitar players of of the 60s played. The Rolling Stones and the Velvet Underground played their guitars like they were just a new members who joined a band. I think George's playing is brilliant now that you mention it, because it matches perfectly the style of the other musicians playing thier instruments in a somewhat sluggish and rough manner. It's suppose to be an advant garde piece for it's time I think they did pretty well. There are different versions of the song. I love Georges playing on Strawberry Fields Forever (Take 7 and Edit Piece) as well.
