This lack of camaraderie was reflected in the band's initial apathy towards the composition, which Harrison countered by inviting his friend and occasional collaborator, Eric Clapton, to contribute to the recording. Clapton overdubbed a lead guitar part, although he was not formally credited for his contribution.

On the liner notes of Pre-Madonna, Stephen Bray wrote: "I've always thought she passed up a brilliant career as a rhythm guitarist." After her career breakthrough, Madonna focused mainly in singing but was also credited for playing cowbell on Madonna (1983) and synthesizer on Like a Prayer (1989). In 1999, Madonna had studied for three months to play the violin for the role as a violin teacher in the film Music of the Heart, before eventually leaving the project. After two decades, Madonna decided to perform with guitar again during the promotion of Music (2000). She took further lessons from guitarist Monte Pittman to improve her guitar skill.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps
On 6 September, during a ride from Surrey into London, Harrison asked Clapton to play guitar on the track.

Nobody ever plays on Beatles records. ''Harrison convinced him, and Clapton's lead guitar part, played on Harrison's Gibson Les Paul electric guitar`` Lucy'' (a recent gift from Clapton), was overdubbed that evening. Recalling the session in his 2007 autobiography, Clapton says that, while Lennon and McCartney were ``fairly non-committal '', he thought the track`` sounded fantastic'', adding: ``I knew George was happy, because he listened to it over and over in the control room.
