Doubtful, for two reasons:

Someday I'll learn to count.

(1) the August 15 orchestral overdub session is described in Lewisohn
as just orchestral overdubs; no mention of George adding his lead
guitar line.

My Lewisohn, or my reading of it, seems to be different:
Friday 15 August...
For "Something", George shuttled back and forth between studio one,
where he shared the podium with George Martin for a time, and studio
two where he oversaw the the sound recording virtually as
"producer", and where -- on the floor of the studio -- he taped a
new and memorable lead guitar solo for the song's middle eight
(actually, barely different from the song's previous best guitar
track).

What -- I'm supposed to read _all_ of that day's entry? :)
You're, of course, correct. Sloppy reading on my part (Note-to-Self:
add "reading" to "counting" as Basics To Master -- it's tough growing
old).

Well, it still beats going back to being young again...

And it beats the other alternative.

(2) George's lead guitar line can be heard, note-for-note, on the basic
performance that's appeared on boots for years. Before the orchestra
overdub.

(3) George's lead guitar may probably have been overdubbed May 5
(Lewisohn, p. 176).

I wonder why the 8 track reduction mix bootleg has the solo, but not the
strings though.....
|
To me it looks like Ken Scott is jealous.....
