For most of the Beatles' career, the relationships in the group were close. According to [[Hunter Davies]], "the Beatles spent their lives not living a communal life, but communally living the same life. They were each other's greatest friends." Harrison's ex-wife Pattie Boyd described how the Beatles "all belonged to each other" and admitted, "George has a lot with the others that I can never know about. Nobody, not even the wives, can break through or even comprehend it."{{sfn|Davies|2009|p=325}} Starr said, "We really looked out for each other and we had so many laughs together. In the old days we'd have the biggest hotel suites, the whole floor of the hotel, and the four of us would end up in the bathroom, just to be with each other." He added, "there were some really loving, caring moments between four people: a hotel room here and there – a really amazing closeness. Just four guys who loved each other. It was pretty sensational."{{sfn|The Beatles|2000|p=357}}

Lennon stated that his relationship with Harrison was "one of young follower and older guy&nbsp;... [he] was like a disciple of mine when we started."{{sfn|Sheff|1981|p=148}} The two later bonded over their [[Lysergic acid diethylamide|LSD]] experiences, finding common ground as seekers of spirituality. They took radically different paths thereafter, with, according to biographer Gary Tillery, Harrison finding God and Lennon coming to the conclusion that people are the creators of their own lives.{{sfn|Tillery|2011|p=122}} In 1974, Harrison said of his former bandmate: "John Lennon is a saint and he's heavy-duty, and he's great and I love him. But at the same time, he's such a ''bastard'' – but that's the great thing about him, you see?"{{sfn|Harrison|1975|page=event occurs at 30 minutes 3–15 seconds}}

Harrison and McCartney were the first of the Beatles to meet, having shared a school bus, and often learned and rehearsed new guitar chords together.{{sfn|Inglis|2010|pp=xiii–xiv}} McCartney said that he and Harrison usually shared a bedroom while touring.<ref>{{cite magazine|first=Joan|last=Goodman|title=Playboy interview: Paul and Linda McCartney|magazine=[[Playboy]]|date=December 1984|page=84}}</ref> McCartney has referred to Harrison as his "baby brother".<ref>{{Cite news|first1=Oliver|last1=Poole|first2=Hugh|last2=Davies|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1363989/Ill-always-love-him-hes-my-baby-brother-says-tearful-McCartney.html|title=I'll always love him, he's my baby brother, says tearful McCartney|work=[[The Daily Telegraph]]|location=London, England|date=1 December 2001|access-date=22 January 2013|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120507033014/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1363989/Ill-always-love-him-hes-my-baby-brother-says-tearful-McCartney.html|archive-date=7 May 2012}}</ref> In a 1974 BBC radio interview with [[Alan Freeman]], Harrison stated: "[McCartney] ruined me as a guitar player". In the same interview, however, Harrison stated that "I just know that whatever we've been through, there's always been something that's tied us together."{{sfn|Badman|2001|pp=138–139}} Perhaps the most significant obstacle to a Beatles reunion after the death of Lennon was Harrison and McCartney's personal relationship, as both men admitted that they often got on each other's nerves.{{sfn|Gilmore|2002|p=48}} Rodriguez commented: "Even to the end of George's days, theirs was a volatile relationship".{{sfn|Rodriguez|2010|p=24}} When, in a [[Yahoo]] online chat in February 2001, he was asked if Paul "[pisses] you off", Harrison replied "Scan not a friend with a microscopic glass -- You know his faults -- Then let his foibles pass. Old Victorian Proverb. I'm sure there's enough about me that pisses him off, but I think we have now grown old enough to realize that we're both pretty damn cute!"<ref>{{cite web |url= https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/george-harrison-yahoo-chat-transcript-02-15-2001.11962/ |title= George Harrison Yahoo!
