Is the guitar part on "While my Guitar Gentley Weeps" on LOVE the same as the original?

Thanks in advance

Nope. It's completely new. I don't know if it's an alternate take or something but there is nothing like that in the original from what I recall.

It was written by George Martin especially for the album. Not sure who performed it.

It's the demo. It was on one of the Anthology albums, and it's in a different key. Martin just added the orchestra.

If you bought the album and read the inside cover it says something about his dad doing the strings in this song. It's vague to me.

Didn't Eric Clapton do the guitar soloing for that song? I heard he did.

Ahhh, that's right. My mistake.
