Dhani Harrison Presents The George Harrison Guitar App for the iPad

About a month back, we fea­tured George Har­rison’s long lost gui­tar solo on “Here Comes the Sun,” and you went gaga for it. Lit­tle did we know that George Har­rison’s son, Dhani, was just about ready to unveil a new iPad app called The Gui­tar Col­lec­tion: George Har­ri­son. It runs $9.99, and it’s only avail­able on the iPad, which hard­ly makes it an instance of Open Cul­ture. But we love The Bea­t­les around here, and the app does some­thing fair­ly spe­cial. It gives you a high-tech intro­duc­tion to sev­en George Har­ri­son gui­tars, using 360° images, sound files, videos, and lots of text and fac­toids. The video above offers a quick tour of the app. In the video below, Dhani Har­ri­son explains how the the app came togeth­er on the Conan O’Brien Show. Thanks for the heads up Liz.
