Guitar I think. He plays it in his "Faith" music video :)

To add to that, a lot of his music seems to be best suited and easiest to play on the piano over any other instruments, indicating that he can also tickle the old ivories as well.

Was george harrison homophobic?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

George Harrison was raised by Catholic parents and later converted Hare Krishna. I'm not entirely about what Hare Krishna is all about, and I know some forms of Catholicism are opposed to same sex love... I don't believe George himself would be "homophobic" considering his belief for equality amongst humanity.
