He didn't HAVE to bring in Clapton, they were best friends, he was playing rhythm guitar and he let Clapton play lead. That has nothing to do with his abillity as a guitarist. Besides, theres nothing about that solo thats really more complex or technically challenging than the majority of Harrisons work, it's just a pentatonic solo and standard blues licks, he's not even playing a lot of notes, he's just using a lot of vibrato and bends to give it a really cool effect. I'm pretty damn sure Harrison could have played it.

I only listen to you talk when I want to hear Emo performed acapella.
