Scan of George Harrison's schoolwork when he was a kid. Handwritten notes say: "Arch-braced (*crossed out* Colony) Collar Beam Increased use of Buttresses in the 13th Century, made it possible to use lighter timber rooves, with a little outward thrust, and there appeared the graceful arch braced collar beam" The rest of the page is full of three doodles of guitars; the first one is unsuccessful, while the second looks like a guitar from the back and third looks distinctly like an electric guitar - presumably a Fender Stratocaster.

A piece of looseleaf landscape that has a bunch of George's sketches on it. There's a regular acoustic guitar labeled "me", an upright bass labeled "Peter", a washboard labeled with another name I can't make out, a Gibson hollowbody guitar labeled "Arthur" and another Gibson-style electric guitar. In the corner, "Skiffle" is written in pencil. This implies that the instruments and the names listed above belong to George's first band "The Rebels", a skiffle group he made with his brother Peter and friend Arthur Kelly. On the bottom, there's a quote by George (from the beatles' anthology book): "I was always bad in school. I didn't like it, and I'd always just sit at the back. I've still got some of my books from when I was about thirteen, and there's drawings of guitars and different scratch plates. Always trying to draw Fender Stratocasters."

"I believe I love my guitar more than the others love theirs. For [John Lennon] and [Paul McCartney], songwriting is pretty important and guitar playing is a means to an end."

- George
