I too had always assumed it was Harrison but I now understand that it was in fact Eric Clapton who played the arpeggio part on Badge:
“But you did play that Beatles-sounding bridge riff in “Badge” on Cream’s Goodbye album, didn’t you?
No, Eric played that! He doesn’t even play on that song before that. We recorded that track in L.A,: it was Eric, plus Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce, and I think the producer, Felix Pappalardi, played the piano part. I was just playing chops on the guitar chords and we went right through the second verse and into the bridge, which is where Eric comes in. Again, it sounds Beatles-ish because we ran it throught a Leslie speaker.”

Happy to be put right if this info is misleading?

The Yardbirds had two lead guitarists for a short time circa 1966, Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck, who traded solos. But not being a fan of the band, I couldn’t tell you on which recordings (a guitarist friend told me this story).
Oh, and I just cannot believe that Guy Pratt did not know that Billy Preston was a friend of the Four Lads in their Hamburg days. Just shattered.
