<P> `` While My Guitar Gently Weeps '' is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1968 double album The Beatles ( also known as `` the White Album '' ) . It was written by George Harrison , partly as an exercise in randomness after he consulted the Chinese I Ching . The song also serves as a comment on the disharmony within the Beatles at the time . The recording includes a lead guitar part played by Eric Clapton , although he was not formally credited for his contribution . </P>
