Despite his status as master songwriter and cultural icon, John Lennon (1940-1980) was, first, a guitar player. Lennon, founding member of The Beatles, played rhythm formidably, as evidenced by rock-steady chording, deft figures ("I Feel Fine"), rapid-fire triplets ("All My Loving"), delicate jazz fingerings ("Til There Was You"), and fine fingerpicking ("Julia," "Look at Me").
Paul McCartney was a singer and multi-instrumentalist in The Beatles. Alongside John Lennon, he was half of one of the world's most successful songwriting teams in history.
